And he, unlike many in his party, knows right from wrong.<br /><br />Unfortunately, his kind are far too rare.retire05https://www.blogger.com/profile/04192090871824415437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-15682132880522907332011-01-18T20:36:22.096-05:002011-01-18T20:36:22.096-05:00Slowly but surely, there are some signs of sanity ...Slowly but surely, there are some signs of sanity breaking out . . . and not as silly pledges of neo-civility, but as something we should all welcome, i.e., concern for the truth, and the facts.<br /><br />From <a href="http://www.reclusiveleftist.com/2011/01/16/lee-harvey-oswald-has-left-the-building/" rel="nofollow"><b>The Reclusive Leftist</b>, here</a>, . . . <b>"Lee Harvey Oswald has left the building"</b>.<br /><br />The link was <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/instapundit/status/27360212847431680" rel="nofollow">posted on Twitter</a>, and <a href="http://pajamasmedia.com/instapundit/113410/" rel="nofollow">on <b>Instapundit</b></a>, by Glenn Reynolds, earlier.Trochilushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07661310034696479920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-16321824556757764832011-01-18T18:36:31.091-05:002011-01-18T18:36:31.091-05:00Koch's column was not to weigh in on the point...Koch's column was not to weigh in on the points both sides are arguing about.<br /><br />I think the telling language comes when Koch says, "She [Palin] is an arch conservative. I [Koch] am a liberal with sanity."<br /><br />Koch chose his words carefully. He intentionlly wanted to distinguish himself as a "liberal with sanity".<br /><br />To me, that is Koch's way of telling many of Palin's liberal critics that they are behaving like insane lunatics. He's warning them that they risk doing more damage to themselves than they are doing to Palin (by losing the independents with these baseless smears). <br /><br />I doubt they'll pay attention to him, but I think that was the intent of his message.MaggotAtBroad&Wallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04493406951892285654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-4118071448713294082011-01-18T18:11:34.435-05:002011-01-18T18:11:34.435-05:00In Defense of Sarah Palin: A Fearless Vow To Never...In Defense of Sarah Palin: A Fearless Vow To Never Sit Down And Shut Up<br /><br />"she actually accomplished a whole lot more with this passionate and, dare I say, courageous appearance. Not only did she rally her conservative troops, but she also laid the foundation for her continued relevance as a national figure while also skillfully establishing why she believed the mainstream media, and liberals in general, despise her. Simply put, she’s the most effective messenger for conservative principles and she will not be silenced."<br /><br />"No matter one’s political beliefs though, it’s hard to dispute that Palin displays a fierce determination in the face of substantial adversity with her promise that “I’m not going to sit down, I’m not going to shut up” about issues in which she believes and with an admirable willingness to “take the darts and the arrows” she receives from all critics while continuing to speak. And when her most significant issue is ensuring that “peaceful dissent and discussion about ideas [is not] stifled by a tragic event,” Palin’s efforts toward this goal should surely be welcomed by all."<br /><br />http://www.mediaite.com/tv/in-defense-of-sarah-palin-a-fearless-vow-to-never-sit-down-and-shut-up/viatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09210255358385745222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-83888704339001265172011-01-18T17:13:16.879-05:002011-01-18T17:13:16.879-05:00I am not sure I can take this, if this is just an ...I am not sure I can take this, if this is just an example of what they will do. I hope some leftist gives Levin the ammo he needs to sue these incompetent MSM propagandists. It may not be enough, but hopefully it will give some hacks pause before costing themselves and their media outlets the big bucks.<br /><br />I would so enjoy that. But I won't hold my breath.<br /><br />Also interesting - I never would have seen Ed Koch as a person who would defend Sarah Palin. He has some integrity. Something to be thankful for, in this toxic day and age.DINORightMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01067345219054999889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-34646764882934284252011-01-18T15:52:37.350-05:002011-01-18T15:52:37.350-05:00"It's 2012 folks...."
