Studs being Studs

Edward Lifson blogs at Hello Beautiful! But he posts this interview with Studs Terkel at Huff.

The idiots! They label Saul Alinsky - the great neighborhood organizer - as a subversive! He's been dead for 35 years and he was honored by the Catholic Church! He's no subversive. Neither is Bill Ayers! That Sarah Palin - you know, she's Joe McCarthy in drag!

Writes Lifson:
This from a man who was investigated by Joseph McCarthy and the House Un-American Activities Committee in 1953. Studs refused to give evidence against other left-wing activists and he was blacklisted and his television contract was canceled.

Black turnout is strong in early voting in the South

From AP--CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Blacks are already surging to the polls in parts of the South, according to initial figures from states that encourage early voting — a striking though still preliminary sign of how strongly they will turn out nationwide for Barack Obama in his campaign to become the first African-American president.

  1. This is referring to last week's posting. (Matt Hadro from CNSNews.com). By the way, did you have a tape recorder, or did you just remember exactly what I said from the conversation?

  2. Gee, why do you ask, Matt?

    Hope I didn't misquote you or misrepresent you in any way. Don't you hate when journalists do that? I mean I know some who do that purposefully, just to undermine the political campaign of a candidate they oppose. They even resort to guilt-by-association tactics and leave a trail of collateral damage in their wake-ruined reputations, destroyed families, lost jobs and things like that.

    I know you and CNS wouldn't stoop that low. Would you? I know that I wouldn't. In journalism school, I learned to take careful notes and always check them with other sources to confirm their accuracy BEFORE publishing.
