That’s the only way to read Mitt Romney Cheerleader #1 when he writes things like: “Meet the MoveOn.org/DailyKos/Hillary Democrats. The 2008 Hillary Democrats are far more radical than the 1972 McGovern Democrats or the 1984 San Francisco Democrats.” Hugh Hewitt was the guy who, on election day 2006, was positive that the Republicans would keep their majorities in the House and the Senate. Frankly, he probably still thinks they’re in the majority. The facts have a liberal bias.
I’m about as concerned with a mouthpiece of the Party of Torture calling me a radical as I am at the crazy homeless guy on the corner telling me I’m going to hell unless I repent.
A guy who belongs to a party whose ideological wing (generally speaking) views Ann Coulter as a virtually iconic figure is calling us Dems radicals? Some more popular and respected figures in the conservative base of the GOP: radio talk show host Melanie Morgan (who wrote that anti-Iraq war activist and veteran of that war himself, Jon Solz, should be “stomped and neutralized”), Tom Tancredo (anti-legal as well as anti-illegal immigration), James Dobson (made the bizarre claim that gay marriage would “destroy the earth” and implied in an e-mail that Fred Thompson’s opposition to the Federal Marriage Amendment somehow meant that Thompson wanted the country to have 50 definitions of marriage), and Tom Delay (in his book, claimed that his indictment for money laundering meant that liberals were now comparable to the Nazis). Non-radicals all.
