Helpful advice to lefties on how to be taken seriously from fascist Hewitt
http://www.hughhewitt.com/#postid1730

"If Democrats want to taken seriously as other than a desperate group of out-of-power ideologues willing to trash everything and everyone in an attempt to get some traction with the public that has evaluated their collective fitness for leadership in time of war and ejected them from power, they will begin by defending our defenders, articulating the necessity of long term imprisonment for would be terrorists and the interrogation of those terrorists, drop the absurd and dangerous demand for "due process" for unlawful combatants, and help shoulder the burden of explaining to the world that America is the most humane of all jailers, and rigorous in its prosecution of its representatives who violate the rules of detention."

Hey Hewitt. If you want to be taken seriously as a "defender of the defenders," sign up for a stint or two in Iraq. Bon voyage!

1. I'd be curious to hear what David Brock..

...has to say as far as giving lefties advice w/dealing with repugs. Since he used to be on the "other" side. Any Brock experts around?

..For Democrats to be taken seriously, they have to agree with our crimes.

4. As a professional translator, I judge that to be
an excellent translation!

3. Democrats won't be taken seriously unless they are Republicans?
Let me just add Hugh to the great big List Of People Who Missed The Fucking Point.
