It’s interesting that, during his appearance on Greater boston two weeks ago, Graham bemoaned the lack of humor in political humor, especially the liberal brand. But Graham is guilty of the same.

You can read them for yourself at the preceding links, or sample the echo chamber out across the blogosphere. And I also won’t bore you with the longstanding litany of conservative complaints over equally-revolting hate speech on the left, with “Bush equals Hitler” being a tame example of the genre.””Was Dan shocked, shcoked I say, the first time he saw an “Bush = Hitler” picture/poster…or did you just think it was amusing?Intellectual dishonesty, that everyone can see thru…

By the way, Dan, how in the world was this guy allowed on “Beat the Press” with you two shows ago? He made at least two false statements during that episode, one of which you corrected and the other which Callie Crossley called him on.

Frank Rich a “media hysterics” member? Keller has had a bad month. When this is over the only people proud of the McCain campaign will be the neocon loons who ran it, and those that admire them.
