Saving Senator Man-on-Dog

If you read liberalism as relativism, as Santorum clearly means it in the piece, what he says makes some sense. ... a culture that isn’t too keen on traditional moral values, right vs. wrong, and discipline, might play some kind of contributing role in what should be a stalwart in these realms (the Catholic Church) not teaching, cultivating, and enforcing what it should be. That, it seems, is what he was saying. He wasn’t the only one saying that kinda thing. And folks would have been remiss not to ask such questions. K-Lo

Shut your pie hole K-Lo. Liberalism had nothing to do with this. The sexual abuse committed by the Archdiocese of Boston has it's roots in a CONSERVATIVE, REPRESSED organization that was more interested in self-perpetuation that the safety of children.

The cleansing power of truth, transparency, and egalitarianism is a LIBERAL value of which the criminal at the core of this horror, Bernard Law, knows nothing.

Reality-based Radio

My news/talk radio diet includes Pacifica, KSFO and NPR to cover left, right and center. I heard an interesting contrast in coverage of the Rove story this evening.

Unfortunately it has morphed into a "Joe Wilson" story, but at least the story is still alive. Media elitist Sean Hannity spoke with Gingrich the Newt about Rove-gate in his typical fair and balanced manner. If this was your only source of information, and if you trusted these guys, you would come away with the impression that Wilson was a liar, a manipulator, a smear artist and a partisan, while Rove was a patriot just trying to get the truth to the American people.

Daniel Schorr, who knows a little about how a vindictive White House operates, provided the contrast in a piece on NPR. While Gingrich and Hannity offered lots of unsubstatiated assertions, Schorr offerred, how you say, facts. Schorr spoke in detail about names, dates, the background of the trip to Niger, the results of the trip to Niger, etc. Schorr defended the actions of Wilson, not with fatuous declarations, but with a detailed factual account of real events.

Schorr will never have a place in faith-based "news".
