Money quote:
"One point to keep in mind: Insofar as policy decisions really have hurt this administration, I would argue (as have others) that the rescue packages for Wall Street and the auto industry were the biggest liabilities. People got "bailout" fatigue pretty quickly and came to associate the administration with handing money to people and companies that didn't deserve it, which is a sure-fire way to destroy faith in government.But the alternative universe in which the government doesn't take these steps is, most likely, an alternative universe in which the economy is worse. Maybe a lot worse. It's hard to see how, in that universe, the political situation for Obama and the Democrats is better than it is today."

Goldberg's point about Cordoba House being sponsored by moderates, and the importance of not lumping all Muslims together is fine stuff, but the greater point is that it is irrelevant to the issue at hand–the First Amendment guarantees the right of ignorant bigots to preach hatred in the name of G-d.

Those familiar with my crusade against NYC Councilman Chuck the Schmuck Barron know I am not one to minimize repugnant acts committed by bigots under the rubrics of Afro-centrism; but the effort by Fox to make "New Black Panther" incident into a cause celebre is nothing but a Christmas Pantomime–and decent conservatives are finally breaking their silence and calling this effort the sham that it is A conservative dismisses right-wing Black Panther 'fantasies' – Ben Smith – POLITICO.com www.politico.com
Memo to Randy Credico: If you'd been smart enough to read Gatemouth's blog, you would have known not to trust Jimmy "Rent is Too Damn High and Sanity is Too Damn Low" McMillan to collect your petitions (and have learned he was a Jew hater too, not that that is relevant to ballot access). Having seen the sheets in the link, I have to conclude that the blank pages were the best ones in the volume. NYS Dems Party Chair: Randy Credico & Co. Fail Petition Test: Update www.nydailynews.com
