"Rall" Rall verb To brawl with or maul a right winger whose views you find offensive and lacking in common sense or where you sense financial reward was exchanged for spouting his/her nonsensical thinly veiled fascist propaganda...A left version of "Fisking", a wingnut term used to deride a courageous journalist (probably marked for death) who goes to war zones and writes what he thinks is the truth. Two things that you will never see the Instapundit stringers for the Talon News Agency do.

How to use in a sentence:

Ted Rall ralls this right wing nutjob but good over at his online blog.

Juan Cole completely Ralls and destroys Jonah Goldberg. Cole even challenges Goldberg to a debate, A courageous man would have immediately accepted the challenge. We're still waiting for Jonah to respond to this Ralling challenge.

Perhaps you've seen this flag. I think the man behind it is probably joking.

On the other hand, I sincerely hope that the people behind Move On California are quite serious. I support them. There has to be a more vigorous way to show our dissent other than voting for Democrats who won't even fight for our votes. I can't think of anything more serious than seccession. Read More

I think that Oliver's idea about brand democrat is actually pretty good. But I think if we're serious, then we need to counterbrand the Republicans. You can see two of my initial efforts here and over at www.threerivertechreview.com

It's not quite as horrific as actually challenging voters at the polls, but I think it's a nice n' nasty aggressive start. And yes I'm a fan of both Ted Rall and Micah Wright.

To be honest, after watching Arnold and his performance in California I don't think he would be the worst guy on Earth. He would certainly be better than Bush. Couldn't be worst. I am a little hesistant about his Nazi heritage, but, again, probably not worse than Bush.

There is a worst nightmare than Arnold though.

Keep in mind that there is another right wing actor out there by the name of Mel Gibson. Here's the kicker: Mel was born in the United States. He's also a better actor who would survive the GOP primaries. (Braveheart and the Year of Living Dangerously are great great films...)

There: Go have your nightmares. And remember, two men enter, one man leave, two men enter, one man leave, two men enter...

I actually quit my job selling computers to work for America Coming Together back in May here in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

I was very proud of the work that I did there and I'm convinced that without the work of ACT, Moveon, big labor (especially the SEIU) and ACORN Kerry would certainly have lost Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan and probably wouldn't have even been competitive in Ohio.

We're closing up shop on November 15th. For the record, I told our true believers in the office that was a mistake and that ACT needs to continue. If for nothing else, then to at least make these elections competitive.
