Dede’s Out, Lefty Pundit (& Bloggers) on Warpath Against Stalinist Right-wingers Who Live Inside their Heads
GayPatriot — I’ll leave it to other conservative bloggers to analyze the angry ramblings of left-wing bloggers and pundits now that liberal Republican Dede Scozzafava has suspended her campaign for election to Congress from New York’s 23rd District.  Those posts (and column) I’ve read focused not on actual arguments conservatives have been making against the “stimulus” and “card-check” supporting Republican nominee, but on the antics of the conservatives make in the realm of their ...

Scozzafava quietly encourages supporters to vote for Owens
Wizbang — ... Rich tries to push the meme that Scozzafava is a stock Republican that happened to differ in a few social issues such as abortion and same-sex marriage.

I'd say Rich would have a more convincing argument if Scozzafava wasn't now ...

In a piece titled "The G.O.P. Stalinists Invade Upstate New York," he refers to a "riotous and bloody national G.O.P. civil war" and a "G.O.P. killing field." And later (after an embarrassing historical ...
