Patterico exposes Howard Dean for the MORON he really is with Oh, That Liberal Media (Part 83,284).

The other day, Howard Dean condemned President Bush’s “right-wing Supreme Court” for the Kelo decision:

[Dean] also said the president was partly responsible for a recent Supreme Court decision involving eminent domain.

“The president and his right-wing Supreme Court think it is ‘okay’ to have the government take your house if they feel like putting a hotel where your house is,” Dean said, not mentioning that until he nominated John Roberts to the Supreme Court this week, Bush had not appointed anyone to the high court.

The Townhall.com news item I quote here made it clear why Dean’s statement was so ridiculous:

Dean’s reference to the “right-wing” court was also erroneous. The four justices who dissented in the Kelo vs. New London case included the three most conservative members of the court - Chief Justice William Rehnquist and Associate Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas. Justice Sandra Day O’Connor was the fourth dissenter.

The court’s liberal coalition of Justices John Paul Stevens, David Souter, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer combined with Justice Anthony Kennedy to form the majority opinion, allowing the city of New London, Conn., to use eminent domain to seize private properties for commercial development.

“We think that eminent domain does not belong in the private sector. It is for public use only,” Dean said.

(Via John Cole.)

So, at a time when the nomination of a Supreme Court Justice is one of the hottest stories in the news, the head of the Democrat party makes an impassioned speech that (though he doesn’t realize it) is an argument for more conservative Justices in the mold of Scalia and Thomas.

Even the Lefties are going wild with this GAFF. At the Daily Kos, Dean Scream #001010110.

I took Howard Dean to task at Dean Nation for his indefensible comments about how “The president and his right-wing Supreme Court think it is “okay” to have the government take your house if they feel like putting a hotel where your house is.”

I mean, come on, Howard…

Patterico mentions that other bloggers have picked up the story:

Meanwhile, Dean’s words have reverberated throughout the Internet. Blogs like John Cole’s Balloon Juice, Protein Wisdom, Q&O, Say Anything, RightWingNews, Lifelike Pundits, Outside the Beltway, and many others

Flap is just glad that Dean reads and promotes Hugh’s book and is helping spread the word about BLOGS.

Because the MSM ( and where is the NY Times and Washington Post) simply does not cover obvious factual LEFTIE GAFFS.

Brian Maloney over at The Radio Equalizer has another installment in the Air America Radio theft story.

Liberals Not Happy With Air America Scandal Reporting

Backlash Begins

A “Fake Story”, What Took Lefties So Long?

Emanating first from the Daily Kos, the nation’s largest liberal blog site, it then spreads to smaller sites. I’m accused outright of making up a story:

It’s fun to check in with Memeorandum now and then to see what the righties are linking to. Yesterday they were swarming like flies to a carcass to a story that appears to be phony.

Some conservatives are howling this weekend over Maha’s initial inability to find the Bronx News story via Google. Is that my fault?

Here’s a third link, as this article makes its way around the liberal blogosphere. In each case, the emphasis is on this as “fake news”.

Then, things get nastier. At this liberal site, featuring a dead panda, it’s name calling and what may be an anti-Irish slur.

Here, it’s “baloney and spew” and apparently, I’m supposed to be ashamed of myself for reasons that aren’t very clear. Northwest Progressive also gets in the act, but doesn’t put too much thought into the matter.

The Politburo Diktat, an exceptionally interesting site, is already all over this, especially Barbara O’Brien’s (Mahablog, Maha’s diary at Daily Kos, both linked above) Google search troubles.

Flap finds Lefties very easy to mischaracterize bad news as LIES, LIES and More LIES. There is a story here and it is being investigated by New York and probably federal agencies (bankruptcy fraud?).

The House after the indictments are finished should schedule hearings into the matter into how the diversion of money was accomplished without any oversight.

Now, with regards to the money. Since Air America cannot return money to a nonentity could they not return it to the bankruptcy court to be distributed to jilted creditors?

The RIGHT responds to the Lefts over-reaction:

The Larsonian adds a interesting point. Scott at Powerline adds muscle to the fight today. Captain Ed doesn’t mess around, either, thanks Captain’s Quarters! Viking Pundit, Wizbang (making a major point I’ll be exploring in-depth today), Eclipse Ramblings, Medary and many others are on this today.

The Maroons over at Daily Kos have Let’s Convert The RW High Schooler.

Have you heard about the Conservative Schooler aka Andy Nevin? He is the 15 year old kid in Sacramento who has started his own blog, California High School Conservative, on blogspot. He is naive and ill informed. Let’s convert him.

Nevin has gotten a ton of attention recently for starting a petition to get CA Attorney General Bill Lockyer to remove a piece of art called “T’anks to Mr. Bush” from an exhibit of art by various lawyer/artists on display in the Department of Justice cafeteria. The piece, by Stephen Percy, depicts a red, white and blue map of the United States sinking into the toilet.

I just spent some time at the kid’s site, and it is both frightening and sad that this 15 year old is so brainwashed. He needs our help.

More across the break.
