A Few Gentle Words from the Club for Growth...







A Few Gentle Words from the Club for
Growth...

A Few Gentle Words from the Club for
Growth...
01/08/2004 08:38 PM

Lest anyone lull themselves into the belief that the left has taken an uncontested lead in the bad-mouthing-the-oppostion derby, I submit the following from an Iowa anti-Dean ad being run by The Club for Growth, a PAC which describes itself as "one of the nation’s leading free-market political advocacy organizations." In a current press release on their web site, they announce an ad that began running today on Des Moines, Iowa broadcast stations and on cable news channels, for which they have budgeted over $100,000 during this phase of the campaign. For for those who can't stream the ad from here, it goes like this: "A dignified older couple walks out of a barber shop. An off-screen announcer asks what they think of Howard Dean’s plan to raise taxes on a typical family by $1,900. "Without hesitation, the husband responds: 'What do I think? Well, I think Howard Dean should take his tax-hiking, government-expanding, latte-drinking, sushi-eating, Volvo-driving, New York Times-reading…' "His wife continues: '…body piercing, Hollywood-loving, left-wing freak show back to Vermont where it belongs.'" Is this really an ad about economic policy? I think it will be very difficult for me to convince my new fellow travelers in the pro-Dean scene to restrain their rhetoric if their TV sets are going to be lavishing such pretty stuff as this on them. I hope those among you who take such grave exception to vivid excesses on the "left" or whatever the hell you call us, will be equally offended by this ad and will encourage your own colleagues to back it off a couple of turns. Otherwise the future of America with devolve to a purely idiotic professional wrestling match between gay atheist Harvard professors and some good ol' refugees from "Deliverance" who are just trying to keep the weirdos - and a few other objectionable demographic groups safely away from power. I can see their thinking. One can hardly entrust government to someone who actually reads a newspaper instead of getting his news over the television, as God prefers that he do. I mention all this because if we are to make this campaign - or this blog - safe for rational, if spirited, disagreement about policy, we will have to go forth often among our own camps and evangelize the civilization of adversarial respect. We could start right here, arguing fiercely among ourselves, and create so graceful a model for constructive combat that it communicates a necessary dignity to whatever government rises from it....

Mark Baker: Today, Roy Fielding ripped me a new one on the topic of the https URI scheme, which I had always considered an unnecessary hack.

It seems that Mark now knows a bit more about the rationale behind the https URI scheme, but doesn't quite grasp the colloquialism.

Trust me, if you've ever witnessed Roy ripping someone a new one, you will know it.

Me?  I've only gotten a mild swat or two...

Photos of series one are on the site and include Han as above, plus Luke, Leia, Chewbacca, Yoda, and C-3PO, though he is not shown. Another line of 1/6 scale collectibles called the Star Wars Armory Collection also premieres on the site. Shown is an X-Wing pilot helmet and listed is a TIE Figher Pilot helmet.
