A website funded by George Soros representing one aspect of the Left. It gives voice to many people who would otherwise be confined to shouting at the walls of their rooms in their parent's basements, their students in Ivy League sociology classrooms where they do not fear - or condone - contradiction, or passing traffic. (sorry, couldn't resist that)

It is, shall we say, rabidly partisan. ( but righteously thinks of itself as "progressive". Teddy Roosevelt would vomit )

>>>If that happened and I were a cynic, I'd almost be ready to believe the whole thing was orchestrated. Her nomination gave the reps a real lift in the public eye when they needed one badly. Her daughter's pregnancy gave them a lift in the sympathy department, and her bowing out will give the reps a huge bonus lift again in the sympathy department. Of course, it also would help if she got out before the court case really got steaming along.

>>>At this point though, it's not a fact, just a prediction, so I will, for the time being, put my cynicism on the back-burner.

>>I have to assume you are kidding. Orchestrating something like that would not be Machiavellian but rather Pythonesque. Remember Tom Eagleton?
>>
>>I think what we are seeing is the feminist equivalent of the Thomas hearings. She's a woman - but not a *real* woman because she does not have the opinions that are part of the Vision of the Anointed.
>>
>>I disagree with her on a good number of things (Creationism, Gay marriage, the role of government in reproductive decisions) but the kind of vitriol coming from Daily KOS and the hate machine is so vicious I think this may be the jump the shark moment for the loony left.
