Quote of the Day

Hilzoy, on that nutty Hannity/Andy Martin segment, alleging that Obama began "training for a radical overthrow of the government" (what, as opposed to a moderate overthrow of the government?) while a community organizer in Chicago:

Sometimes people describe Fox News as a sort of antidote to more liberal news stations. That's not true. When CNN airs a "documentary" that presents, unchallenged, claims that John McCain is running a child porn ring from one of his seven houses, we can talk about equivalence. Until then, we have several news networks, but Fox is not among them.
But hey, it's the left that's crazy, right?

I'm used to crazy, unsubstantiated stuff on Fox, but this is a whole other matter entirely, sort of verging on Clinton-killed-Vince-Foster territory. Here's the clip, a new low even by Hannity standards:

I especially love the insinuation that "there have been numerous reports linking Barack Obama to Louis Farrakhan and the people of his church." First, I've seen no such reports, and second, Farrakhan, who I don't believe Obama has ever met, is of course a Muslim leader, and doesn't have a church.

This isn't conservatism; this is mental illness. Dan Rather was fired for much, much less.
