Why Do Right Wing Talk Radio Hosts Hate Democracy?

Tuesday, August 19th, 2008

There’s a Russia-Georgia conflict meme working its way through conservative talk radio that, until recently, I had shrugged off as juvenile.

Phil Valentine’s Lying Problem

Monday, April 21st, 2008

My next post was going to be about Phil Valentine’s assertion in the Tennessean that “There is absolutely no evidence that carbon dioxide causes any kind of climate change.” Thanks, Bruce Barry, for saving me some key strokes:

Plus, the integrity of our elections are still suspect, Rep. Rob Briley’s balancing act, Fred Thompson as Dick Gephardt, and isn’t “lozenge” a fun word to say?
Listen to: We Need […]

Policy Debate v. Fear Mongering

Tuesday, January 8th, 2008

You know, if Phil Valentine wants to debate immigration policy or even the effect immigration has had or will have on the state, that’s fine. But he discredits every single one of his points when he lists that “Highway signs in English and Spanish” will be a problem for the way Tennessee will look in […]
