Who says we're seeing a conservative crackup? Rabid corporatists and fundie wingnuts may not be able to agree on a SCOTUS nominee, but they can come together to oppose common-sense measures that strengthen democracy.
Why are dentists in bed with Ladies-Against-Women groups? The same reason a number of Democratic Party official quietly hope to see RON go down. Power. RON is about accountability. Opposing RON is the purview of those who care about nothing but attaining and retaining power.
So what are you going to do about it? Suggestions after the jump.
I got this idea somewhere on a blog last night, but haven't been able to find it. The idea is to look at those who were most exercised about the fake controversy over the MoveOn Nazi ads to see how quickly they take Santorum to the woodshed over his Hitler-in-Paris meltdown yesterday.
Let me say at the outset that I for one despise Nazi comparisons. I am not amused when Janine Garafalo mentions the 43rd Reich, I cringe when I see Nazi spew in the comments here, I say "Ecch" to all of it. Such comparisons are the stuff of college dorm door decoration, not reasoned debate.
Anyway.
I googled "MoveOn Nazi" and picked the top three reliably conservative publications that showed up in the search results. Then I looked at the current pages of those publications to see their takes on the Santorum statement. The results after the break.
