If the title of Michael Barone's latest column doesn't make you scratch your head, it's contents certainly will.

In "Strangers to Dissent, Liberals Try to Stifle It", Barone argues that political dissent is a foreign concept to liberals (what?) and when faced with this strange concept, their reaction is to suppress it (really?).

On Monday night, Jon Stewart ended his three-week hiatus from Comedy Central's The Daily Show. In his first segment after a long vacation, Mr. Stewart shucked his progressive nature and tackled the media's lack of coverage over the right-wing hyped ACORN story.

Jon Stewart's act of rational objectivity has turned him from Conservative Public Enemy #1 into the Patron Saint of Media Responsibility, quite literally, overnight.

Conservative columnist Doug Powers argues that filmmaker Micheal Moore...

"is no better qualified a spokesman for what direction our health care system should take and how private sector business should be managed than a morbidly obese slob built like a 400-pound stack of pancakes who has made millions of dollars bashing capitalism."

Good point, Mr. Powers. Unfortunately you failed to say anything concrete about Mr. Moore's ideals, political opinions or views on capitalism. Your lack of details could allow somebody to steal your insight and use it on, say, somebody you like.

I'll try...
