(Note to literalists: the Watched column presently contains only a smattering of 'warblogs' because the facilitator of the template-change--Dr. Menlo--is not very familiar with them, and will be adding more as they are sent to him. Also, this blog may contain areas of allusion, satire, subtext, context and possibly even a dash of the surreal: wannabe lit-crits beware.)

" ... there is a big difference between a democrat like Carville calling Bush corrupt, and Helms saying Clinton should bring bodyguards when visiting an Army base, or NRO calling for the death of Chelsea Clinton, or Ann Coulter calling for the physical intimidation of liberals.

"Corsair the Always Rational, if Frequently Angry, Pirate has just discovered the rhetorical and intellectual joy that is Howard Zinn. Innocence shattered. I'm glad that someone can still get worked up about Zinn and his tired-out, patented, sad-sack combination of socialism, wobbly-ism, moral equivalence, and historical inaccuracy. The leftist cadres of the past linger on, long after they've become irrelevant. Of course, that doesn't mean we shouldn't administer an occasional kick in the ribs to their supine forms, as Corsair does here admirably."
The same blogger offers great commentary about Iran and the blogosphere, but are we condoning an atmosphere of violence towards political opponents by promoting a site like this?
