Tammy Bruce Update
In my recent review of Tammy Bruce's book The New American Revolution: Using the Power of the Individual to Save Our Nation from Extremists, I kept it brief because the book wasn't worth spending a whole lot of time. One of the many statements in the book that I knew were false but didn't have the time to deal with were Bruce's one-sided reports of liberal/Democratic violence against Republicans during the 2004 election season. After listing some examples of Democratic violence and vandalism against Bush supporters and local Bush campaign headquarters, Bruce smugly wrote:

This is not a symptom of the decline of the entire electoral system. Nothing comparable occurred at Democrat [sic] party headquarters or to liberal activists.

Oh yeah? Tell that to her, Tammy. David Neiwert addressed similar claims by Michelle Malkin in her latest Regnery cut-and-paste screed Unhinged: Exposing Liberals Gone Wild. Click here and here for a debunking of Bruce's claims that nothing comparable occurred by Republicans against Democrats. I find it incredible that Bruce went on hiatus from writting her column for Chris Ruddy's NewsMax (it was also carried by Traitor Horowitz's FrontPageMag) because she was taking the time to do meticulous research for The New American Revolution; a quick Google search would have put the lie to Bruce's claim that violence and intimidation during the 2004 campaign were directed only against Republicans.
