Ann Althouse is actually a moderate Democrat. But like others of her persuasion, she is having a problem with the "netroots." People like Jane Hamsher who has a blog called Firedoglake.
At her site she is lecturing
At her site she is lecturing
Elizabeth Edwards what to do. She'd better show some respect for MoveOn.
And then she shows her partisan extremism, the extremism that enabled "feminists" to excuse Bill Clinton's sexual harrassment (Paula Jones and Kathleen Willey), abuse of his position (Monica Lewinski) and a credible accusation of rape (Juanita Broaddrick). The extremism that allowed Bill and Hillary Clinton to skate on so many non-sexual scandals from crooked land deals to miraculous profits on cattle futures to presidential pardons.
But don't take my word for it. In her lecture to Edwards, she proudly claims that
First of all — I don’t care if John Kerry was eating live babies on TV, one week out from an election you do not repeat GOP talking points.
These are the people who have successfully grabbed the wheel and are steering the Democrat party. I am genuinely afraid of what can happen if they take over.
Some will claim that this is exaggeration to make a point. I actually don't believe it is. If John Kerry were to eat a live baby on TV I have no doubt that most people like Hamsher would either remain silent, or find a defense (stopping global warming?).
Meanwhile on the Right, Larry Craig is thrown under a bus of a non-sex sex scandal: playing footsie with a cop. I'm glad we don't have any Jane Hamshers. But I do wish we had more Ann Coulters.
