Must Read
Every Democrat should read Michael Tomasky’s article, "Dem’s Fightin’ Words", in the American Prospect. If more Democrats took Tomasky’s advice, they would be the majority party for the next 20 years, something that John B. Judis and Ruy Teixeira say is inevitable. Tomasky points out how Democrats can win only if they fight back against the right. Tomasky mentions how one of the right’s mucky-mucks, Grover Norquist--quoting Lenin—tells cadres to “Probe with bayonets, looking for weaknesses." However, there are plenty of GOP weaknesses that Democrats have not probed. For instance, we have the GOP's coziness with false messiah Sun Myung Moon, a criminal, theocrat, and fierce anti-American (he called the US “Satan’s harvest”). Another area not broached by progressives is the right-wing talk radio medicine show. The content of talk radio is bad enough, but the sponsors are worse. Listen to talk radio and hear the ubiquitous ads for baldness cures, expensive and questionable weight-loss potions, expensive supplements, real estate “no money down” scams, and gold as an investment. The left should exploit these weaknesses of the right.
