As I just posted in the last thread:
Acorn Granted Injunction on Law Banning Government Funding
December 11, 2009. New York, NY - Today, U.S. District Judge Nina Gershon granted a preliminary injunction against the United States for unconstitutionally withholding funds from ACORN. In its decision, the court found that there is a likelihood the plaintiffs will be able to show that Congress’ targeted defunding of ACORN violates the Constitution’s prohibition against Bills of Attainder, legislative acts which single out a specific person or group for punishment.

Two of the most stories on the Council of Conservative Citizens front page are "Black man attacks white cop". One story blurb ends with "America has seen a nationwide rash of black on white cop killings since the election of Barack Obama. Fortunately, this attack was thwarted."

Yeah, especially at the start when he started bringing up Charles having been accused of being a muslim-basher himself, that that was his angle-- but it was just to establish context.

You'll find that probably 95% of "conservatives" who post on LGF (still), are social moderates or liberals and have no problem referring themselves as Classical Liberals. Take the religious zealotry out of conservatism, or the kookery out of libertarianism and what do you have: Classical Liberalism.

It's really sad how few good blogs there are out there for discussion of current events with a political slant. LGF is honestly the only one I can stand spending any real amount of time on anymore; the others are either too unmoderated, or too stale.
Web design isn't just about form and feel, it's also about flow and user contributions, and I'd say Charles has LGF wonderfully-designed from that perspective as well.

Labels are nothing. My principles are the thing.
True. I rarely, if ever, use the term "liberal" anymore myself because it tends to mean different things to different people. The left-right spectrum is almost equally as useless. I don't like being on the "same side" as nazis, neofascists, or anarcho-capitalists but I don't belong on the side with socialists, communists, and anarcho-syndicalists either.

On DailyKos I'm a conservative, over here I'm a liberal, so I really don't worry about it too much. I generally support Blue Dog type politicians who are raging liberals by Republican standards but who are so conservative some Democrats want to kick them out of the party.
I think it's all part of the disappearing center syndrome.

Is that your kid's team man?! That's forking insane! Our boys knocked Grant off the National Top 50 last weekend. They were on a 26 game winning streak and defending there bowl bid from last year. Del Oro is tough though and we are a passing team. It's rough in the rain.
237 | Shiplord Kirel Fri, Dec 11, 2009 8:21:21pm |
I'm very happy to have finally talked to Charles directly after all these years, even though the time constraints confined it to just a few words.
To me, science and reason are the crucial issues in our split with the right. I saw some of this last year during the campaign, for example when McCain repeatedly mis-characterized the earmark for Adler planetarium's new projection system as "two million dollars for an overhead projector." As I pointed out at the time, McCain himself obviously knew better and was just pandering to what he saw as the base.
Charles's decision to take on the creationists was a crucial moment. The response here and elsewhere was ferocious, as though he had tossed a stink bomb into a fundamentalist revival meeting. It exposed just how prevalent antiscience was, and is, on the political right.
As I mentioned on the Colmes show call, one of Charles's greatest contributions is to recognize and document the connection between creationism and other forms of right-wing anti-science.

That's it! Before Expelled there had been a kind of truce between pro-evolution and creationist lizards so we could concentrate on areas of mutual interest. The high-profile pandering to creationists during the GOP primaries made it into a major issue though, and a showdown became inevitable.

Here's the second part. Once again the audio is fine, so enjoy:
Maybe the crazy colors on the logo are because I used all the advance h264 features and YouTube doesn't support them. If, after YouTube says the video is done processing, it still looks messed up, I think I'll try encoding the video as mpeg2 and re-uploading it to have a nice looking version (and also to learn how to properly encode for YouTube :P).

I was about to ask if the traffic to this website increased but Charles already answered this.
As Charles said, Fox is also to blame for his action to say farewell to the right. However Alan seems to be a sweet drop in a salt ocean (like Shep Smith) who defy the overwhelming hatred stemming from the top. Hard to understand how he manages to keep his job.
