(one of the links dr mayer provided) gives an excellent summary of the board's decision and their ideological composition. i suggest you all read it carefully.

this is the world of liberty and freedom the teabaggers and their fellow travelers are feverishly preparing for us. and what i find particularly frightening is those conservatives who reject these peoples' lunatic ideas yet still support them, cover up for them, make excuses for them, and otherwise seek to enlist them as allies to help promote their reactionary economic and social agenda.

this is even more unforgiveable than the liberals who supported stalin or even the conservatives who backed hitler over a half century ago; at least they were just being stupid or ignorant. deliberately courting these drooling neanderthals when you know fully well what they want, just to further your political cause, is cynical...and criminal.

thank god for the new york times.
