Project: Adopt A Right Wing Commentator Or Pundit
Adopt A Right Wing Commentator Or Pundit


We’ve all noticed that a lot of the right wing commentators and pundits etc are Truth challenged.

So let’s help them out. I’ve responded to 2 of Noonan’s last 3 articles for the Wall Street Journal. I plan to continue doing so, or if it becomes too hard to continue reading her columns I’ll likely switch to someone else.

I’m assuming there are some out there who are susceptible to being jolted out of the daze induced by the right wing kool aid. Or maybe some of their readers are, if we get any of our emails and letters published.

Below is a list of some of the Truth challenged who are in need of adoption. Below that are a couple of links that might be helpful in finding the correct right wing pundit for your "adoption".

Do what you can, don’t make yourself sick reading the truly bizarre and revolting. Read what you are able to, someone else may be able to read and respond to the one you can’t abide.



In need of adoption:

Peggy Noonan
Ann Coulter
Laura Ingraham
Bill O’Rielly
Sean Hannity
Robert Novak
Michael Savage
Michelle Malkin
Pat Buchanan
Neil Cavuto
Armstrong Williams
Phyllis Schlafly



Beyond hope:

Rush Limbaugh

2. They all know they're lying
No amount of debate of the facts will cure them of their illness. They (and by proxy their fellow believers) do not deserve to be saved.

3. Great Idea
but that list is the sickest of the sick. Can't you find few who are at least a little stable?

8. Truly a great idea!
If someone monitored every word one of these bozos said, and maintained a site that showed where those words were lies, the effect could be as significant as Media Whores Online was during its short incarnation.

4. I doubt they're immune to being countered at every turn
I really doubt that they and their followers can continue to ignore ongoing opposition.

Imagine if they were confronted with the flak they throw at the "left."

6. Scarborough may be beyond hope
However, I already started with him so maybe I'll go back to it. You are right that we have to do what we can to avoid their lies from getting a free pass.

7. I agree
They all sit around saying ignorant, inaccurate, nasty, libelous things mostly without challenge.

9. How? ... Why?
To a man these people get paid large amounts of money to do what they do. They are salesmen and trust me most of them know exactly what they are doing.

10. We do what we do for those who are misled by them
And the pundits being human, at least somewhat, some of them may even react to straight talk that challenges their wrongful assertions.

If even one of them came over from the Dark Side to the light and The Force, that would be a big thing.

Witness David Brock of Media Matters who wrote "Blinded By The Right."

Now he is key in nailing many of the right wing in their games, and he knows cause he WAS one of them.

Thanks for the thought.
