If you watched any of the Sharpton rally versus the Beck rally, you saw a marked contrast in attitude, focus and content. The Sharpton rally was filled with victimism and demands for more gimmes. The Beck rally was focused on God and country.
Now the left is moving on Glenn Beck, even though his rally was not racist, was not homophobic, was not sexist or even political.
The scandal today was an article written by Beau Friedlander for the Huffington Post, which was posted until afternoon. Apparently the editors panicked when the article began to reverberate around the web, changed the label of the article from "politics" to "comedy" and then eventually took it down.
The fact that Friedlander uses the term "teabaggers" ought to give you a clue what the article is like but, truly, it must be read to be believed, it is so evil in its intent.
Thought HP took it down, the New York Observer has posted a copy. You can read it in its entirety here.
Commentary about the article can be found here at New York Observer, here at Free Republic, and here at Doug Powers.
Here is the personal profile of Beau Friedlander. Note that he is a publisher, educated at Columbia, University of Oxford and Bennington College. Quite the pedigree, it becomes obvious that an education does not necessarily guarantee character or intellect.
