1. Lars Larson? Are you kidding me? That guy is the West Coast's

Rush Limbaugh. :puke:

[DKRC]

3. I'd never even heard of the guy

but Adam was certainly cozy chatting with him. Adam's moved himself into the Joe Lieberman column as far as we're concerned.

2. Lars Larson

Lars Larson is a right-wing ideologue who lives in Portland,
Oregon and corrupts the area's radio airways with his daily
dose of lies, half-truths, bigotry, and other RNC talking
points. He is also a super-macho type who "packs"
his Glock or .357 Magnum or whatever piece he owns into the
radio studio in case some hate-filled liberal might choose to
attack him. He is an evil, mean, and totally crass dip-shit
goon who is best forgotten and/or ignored. 

[DKRC]

4. Never ignore evil, mean goons - it gives them opportunity to ambush you

Googled him yesterday and I can tell you that I appreciate him helping me make up my mind completely about Adam. I'll vote for a turnip before I vote for Adam when he comes up for re-election. He was so comfortable chatting with this Larson guy, agreeing with Repuke talking points throughout the segments he was on, it was apparent just from his tone and delivery he was in his comfort zone.

:puke:

5. He voted against the School of the Americas

So did our entire state Dem delegation, and not just McDermott for a change.

6. Smith blog on Daily Kos

The consequence of our lack of focus is made clear in the NIE. We have given al-Qaeda a chance to regenerate its central leadership and gain capabilities not seen since before 9/11. Our first priority should have been the targeting of al-Qaeda’s top leaders and their organization, and our resources must be allocated accordingly. But right now we have the majority of our military assets focused in Iraq. It is essential that we refocus on the Afghanistan / Pakistan border and other hotbeds of al-Qaeda activity if we are to effectively protect Americans from terrorist attacks.

Recent news reports indicate that the peace agreement between local tribal leaders in Northwest Pakistan and the Pakistani government may have broken down. This could be an opportunity for us to work with the Pakistanis to go after our common extremist enemies, but first we have to gain the trust of the Pakistani people. The Pakistanis in this region face crushing poverty, and if we work with them to build a better society, we can both gain their trust and reduce the incentive for local populations to join groups like al-Qaeda and the Taliban.
