Energy Czar hasn’t read cap & tax, either:

Don't ask if we've read the bill - we haven't. I'm just a blogger and they're just TV hosts, you actually expect us to read all that? Are we going to? Hell no!

Social Enemies

You almost have to give the wingers credit for actually using the "socialist" label in a somewhat rational format. To bad they still don't understand what they are talking about.

The right wing has discovered that Carol Browner, President-elect Barack Obama’s new White House energy and environment adviser, was briefly a member of the Socialist International’s Commission for a Sustainable World Society. The commission first convened in November 2007 to “articulate from the world of progressive politics a way forward to address global environmental concerns, climate change and the issues of governance required to deal with these common challenges” at 10 Downing Street, hosted by Prime Minister Gordon Brown, Leader of the British Labour Party.

One of the more interesting points that comes from these reacitonary voices is that this group is guilty only of having the word "Social" in its name. It's a group that not only attempt to address climate change, but promote democracy in developing countries.

The whole theatrical approach toward attacking people serves the right-wing prattle-heads little good. Since they have no reasonable means to discuss issues such as climate change, environmental awareness, diplomacy, or any array of social-political topics that don't include the phrases "drill-baby-drill" or "surge", they have to structure their entire argument around redefining words such as "socialism" and "fascism" so they now seem equal to Democratic practices.
