Here's one for the cry baby file

I'm on the email lists of several leftist organizations whose emails I gladly receive and sometimes read. It's good to know what the enemy is thinking and saying, and ofttimes amusing. Yesterday I received an email from Josh Silver, Executive Director of the the oxymoronically-named association Free Press.

Dear Paul, [ed: I was surprised to discover that we're on a first-name basis.]

I can't believe what I'm watching.

Fox News Channel headliner Glenn Beck has turned his nightly program into a megaphone of misinformation. He just took down presidential adviser Van Jones, one of our most visionary and principled young leaders. [ed: FTR, Van Jones took himself down by his own assclownishness.]

What happened to Jones is outrageous. President Obama should have ignored the media's smear campaign and rejected all calls for Jones' ouster.

This madness is a failure not only of the media, but of our president to stand up against modern-day McCarthyism.

Emboldened by their success, Glenn Beck and other right-wing blowhards have begun media witch hunts against people in all aspects of public life. If we don't speak out now, the champions of the issues you care about will be run out of Washington.
Surveys show that most Americans want health care reform, good schools and clean air. But if you watch Glenn Beck's show, you would think the opposite is true: that the only proponents of these ideas are dangerous, anti-American radicals operating out of the White House basement.

I'm urging you to take a stand with me and sign this open letter to the president. Glenn Beck's fear-mongering is endemic to a media system that cares more about ratings than about the truth. We need President Obama to take a stand against such hysteria, which only distracts us from the real issues at hand.

President Obama Must Stand with Us for More Diverse Media. Beck has a First Amendment right to stoke fear and prejudice -- and we're not asking for him to be censored or silenced [ed: riiiight....]. But we all have a responsibility to condemn his behavior and defend the public servants and innocent people who are being attacked. This is not about censorship... It's about sanity.
Mainstream media have failed. Too many of our leaders have stayed quiet. We must speak out now.

Thank you,

Josh Silver

Well, I would also urge you to go to the link my old buddy Joshy provided. You can change the subject and message body to whatever you'd like it to say. For example, you could put "Thanks, Mr. President, for sacking Comrade Jones" in the subject, then in the body you could write. "Mr. Jones can now go back to the hood to smoke crack with Pookie and the boys." That's just an idea; by creative!
