In addition to BenAdler's thoughts on the hucksterism behind "Planet Gore," I'd like to add to The Editors' thoughts on Jonah "I'm Really Worth Listening To, Really!" Goldberg's new whiny tirade about the Left today.
Goldberg is feeling pissy because he thinks the Left, that massive and always-unified bloc of fifth columnists and diletantes, doesn't spend enough time trying to discredit left-wing extremist footnotes like Ward Churchill.
Conveniently, this highlights an interesting phenomenon I've noticed a number of right-wing commentators perpetuating. There seems to be this school of thought that argues it's better to wildly promote and give countless hours of free exposure to radicals who in no way represent responsible thought or any widely-followed political ideology, than to simply marginalize and ignore them.
