The corporate media has been doing their best lately to draw false equivalencies in their coverage of the recent spike in right wing violence in America. Grasping at any little straw, pundits like MSNBC's Pat Buchanan have even gone so far as to use the Rodney King riots to show how "the left is just as bad." Now, Newsbusters has taken things a notch lower:

Liberals in the media have been busy parading around Mark Potok of the Southern Poverty Law Center to bash the right. As befits his organization's MO, Potok, pictured right in a file photo, has done the best he can to link recently-arrested militia members to the Tea Party movement and conservatism generally.

Potok's job may have just gotten a bit harder, and the liberal media may need to find another way to discredit their political opponents. It turns out most of the militiamen were active voters, and at least one was a registered Democrat. Party registrations for the rest are not yet known.

Jacob J. Ward, 33, of Huron, Ohio, voted as a Democrat in the 2004 and 2008 primary elections. He also voted in 10 other elections since 2000. Party affiliation in Ohio is determined by which party's ballot they requested in the most recent primary election.

This amazingly bad article mercifully ends with this belly laugher:

Well that should put to rest the notion that these people were somehow affiliated with or influenced by mainstream conservatives.

Well, there you go. One of these nuts was a registered Democrat so the entire group is actually a bunch of flaming LIBS! No right wing influence here, no siree! Give me a f*&king break!

Hmmm...wasn't some big celebrity entertainer urging his Republican fans to switch parties so they could vote in Democratic primaries back in 2008? Oh yeah, that was Rush Limbaugh. Even if Ward wasn't doing Limbaugh's bidding, and was, at one time, an actual Democrat, his membership in the Hutaree tells me that his real politics had moved hard to the right.

The Condi for President Blog has been up and running for a few days now and already is getting the hang of the right wing blog philosophy. If you don't know what you are talking about, make it up. On Sunday, C&L posted a light hearted piece, poking a little fun at Instapundit. (earlier post)

"It's a done deal. Now that Instapundit has put the stamp of approval on her. I'm sure the rest of the righties will march in step. His evidence is very compelling:

THERE'S A CONDI RICE FOR PRESIDENT BLOG, there's a Draft Condi website, and you can already buy the T-Shirt. And bumper stickers!

The juggernaut is already rolling. There you go. It's a freight train out of control. I believe that if you buy two Rice2008.com bumper stickers, O'Reilly will throw in a Boycott France bumper sticker for free."

Apparently Ed(Fibber)Longshanks didn't appreciate my charactization that many right wingers move to the drum beat of Glen Reynolds:

The appropriately named blog Crooks and Liars links to this blog . Thanks for the traffic (uh, I don’t know your name. Can I just call you Crook?)"

Yes you may call me "Crook!" As a matter of fact everyone can now call me "Crook." Ed, may I call you "Fibber?" Here's the rational:

As I read your piece, I noticed that you had filed our post under " Racist Attacks on Condi"

The Crooks and Liars thread on Condi for Prez is a good example of how racist liberals are.

The thread is filled with racist epithets hurled at Condi. It seems that blacks who leave the liberal plantation see that racism in America has a welcome home in the democrat party.

Ok, I'm still trying to figure out where there are any racist epithets in our post? None. So I take exception to that characterization. Yet in Fibber's own description of racist liberals, he uses the term " liberal plantation" as an analogy. The term was also used by Ann Coulter. This clearly is a racist term in describing Blacks in America. So who's the real racist here?

Longshanks Guidelines for Comments: Very Simple -- No cussing -- No cussing equivalents
I think he might add another important guideline: "Truth"

PS: Fibber Longshanks, good luck with your blog, it's a very rewarding endeavor to participate in and I wish you well. However, sometimes we like to have a little fun in the blogosphere too...

(update) Longshanks says he was talking about the comments section. I guess he never read LGF or Free Republic or any other conservative site that has comments.
