Visiting the site this morning I notice the small ad just after the first diary, sponsored by Freedomworks, that ironically-named rightwing/corporation organization which Rachel Maddow has been exposing for its astroturf campaign against more progressive HCR.
You can't accuse Freedomworks of disguising the threat: it's there, plain as day.
Floating disembodied above the quote No to Reconcialiation are the heads of Obama, Reid and Pelosi, mouths open, reminiscent of the gruesome images we have seen from the past few years.
A few weeks ago I had written about the VoteVets ad which made a unfounded claim about American soldiers being killed in Iraq by Iranian bombs.
I understand the need to sell premium ad space to keep this very popular site afloat but come on, Markos...

I just picked up Thomas Frank's excellent The Wrecking Crew
It's fantastic. A must-read.
"Less government in Business and more business in Government."
Covers Jack Abramoff, Grover Norquist, Ralph Reed, Albert Jay Nock, Howard "Defund the Left!" Phillips and so many others who've been influential in the development of the modern conservative movement.
Review to come.
