(AP) House Speaker Dennis Hastert and other GOP leaders are dismissing suggestions that they should have done more to investigate an e-mail from Rep. Mark Foley to a former teenage page that had raised a "red flag" with the boy's parents and his congressional sponsor.

Hastert rejected a call by a leading conservative newspaper that he resign, a spokesman said Tuesday.

"The speaker has and will lead the Republican conference to another majority in the 110th Congress," said Hastert spokesman Ron Bonjean....

The Right has a couple of fundamental advantages over us. They have a tendency to be more homogenous and to act more in lockstep with each other. This allows them to be more organized, more "on message" and more unified in general. In contrast, we on the Left tend to be much more diverse and much more free-thinking. On a micro-scale, those are big advantages. But when it comes to macro-scale political movements and affecting public opinion, we are at a big disadvantage.

This proposition is especially true, I believe, with respect to Iraq and our troops.

My impression is that some folks who really liked Dean during the primaries have become rather disillusioned with him after becoming DNC Chair. It reminds me of the old band line, "I liked Dean BEFORE he was cool." Or, even worse, "I liked Dean BEFORE he sold out."

As someone who initially liked Dean a lot, then couldn't stand him, and now loves him again, my own personal perception is that Dean himself hasn't changed much. Rather, it was my own perception that had changed, each time.

I know, I know, this is probably about as surprising as the existence of gambling in Las Vegas, but the completely blatant nature of it still surprised me.

First, let's start with the title: "Bush plays it smart on Social Security". Wow, that sure sounds fair and balanced, doesn't it?

If you've been reading liberal blogs and websites over the past couple of days, you've undoubtedly noticed quite a bit of outrage and hand wringing over Condoleeza Rice's Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearings for her nomination to the cabinet position of Secretary of State.

I certainly understand that we live in an increasingly polarized society, and I lay much of the blame for that at the feet of the Republican party. I draw the line, however, when I read people criticizing Barack Obama for daring to vote to confirm Rice and indicate that he hopes for her success.

That simply must be JK's response the next time Bush trots out his ridiculous, tired, repetitive nonsense about Kerry being an indecisive leader (or "mixed messages," or whatever Karl Rove line he's parroting at the moment).

Slam. Dunk.

So check out this gem on the front page of MSNBC. The cover story as of the time of this diary is:

US Contradicts Iraqis Over Release of Woman

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6015597/

Now, contrast this with yesterday's (cough cough BULLSHIT cough cough) cover story, which is still highlighted as a subheadline today:

Kudos to DemocraticUnderground.com and DUer MallRat for this information:

"Aug. 9 issue - It's hard for white separatists to get a date. And not just for the reasons that you think. Part of the problem is that there are no whites-only dating services, says William Regnery, publisher of The Occidental Quarterly, a magazine that espouses white nationalism and whose statement of principles calls for limiting immigration to 'selected people of European ancestry.'

Regnery's now preparing to enter the market-- he recently announced the idea of a racially exclusive dating Web site in a letter to subscribers. He says he's worried about the declining percentage of whites in the population and hopes a dating site would increase the number of white families, 'since the survival of our race depends upon our people marrying, reproducing and parenting.'

Such fears tap into the 'common paranoid fantasy' of white separatists, says Mark Potok of the watchdog Southern Poverty Law Center.

But Regnery defends the whites-only matchmaking idea, insisting that it is no different from sites run for Jewish singles. 'I'm sure you're familiar with JDate,' he says, naming one Jewish-dating site. 'It's huge, and there are a variety of other ones for ethnic, religious special-interest groups.' For now, Regnery's project has no domain name and no start date. 'This is still a gleam in the eye of the beholder,' he says."

DUer MallRat: William Regnery (to be accurate, he's William Regnery II, I believe) is the very same Regnery of Regnery Publishing, the house which printed, released, and pimped the Swiftboat Liars' book, "Unfit for Command."

This man, who espouses racial hatred and separatism, and his publishing company are also the proud publishers of Dennis Hastert's new book, "Speaker," Michelle Malkin's angry screed, "In Defense of Internment," Ann Coulter's "High Crimes and Misdemeanors," and Laura Ingraham's "Shut Up and Sing."

THIS HAS TO BREAK IN THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA, FOLKS. If your average American learns that A WHITE SUPREMACIST IS OPERATING THE LEVERS OF THE REPUBLICAN ATTACK MACHINE, the backlash against * could be irreparable.

Spread the word.

Me: It's presently not clear to me whether or not there is a direct link, or an indirect link (father/son), but regardless, it's pretty fascinating and telling information, in my opinion.
