Actually, I re...I agree very much about Breitbart. Actually, I really think the level of discourse among conservative commentators in the US has declined dramatically in the last few years. The "big names" in the field, which was formerly dominated by the likes of William Buckley, now include people like Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh. The latter recently called a young woman testifying before Congress a "slut" and a "prostitute" and said that she should post videos of herself having sex online for everyone to enjoy--just because she argued that birth control pills should be accessible for all women regardless of their employers' wishes regarding their insurance plans. It's one thing to disagree with her (and I don't), but this kind of rhetoric is absolutely sickening. The group of Republican presidential wannabes, who once included the likes of Colin Powell, now include Rick Santorum. Even Glenn Reynolds himself, who was formerly so reasonable, crossed the line some years ago from intelligent criticism of Obama to downright personal hatred. All in all, it's very dispiriting, indeed.Nathan B.http://nathanbauman.comnoreply@blogger.com
