I guess my main issue with this guy is that he fashions himself as some sort of a scholar. Not that the Right lacks scholars. William Buckley, Ludwig von Mises, Frederick Hayek, Winston Churchill,Hell, Giovanni Gentile (!), are all at least welterweight intellectuals. You might disagree with them, but they don't write garbage. Jonah Goldberg is a pretend scholar. He drifted into fame...

Along with racist , the word fascist is one of the most common epithets you here tossed around when people discuss politics. Has the constant repetition of the word made it lose its meaning? Does anyone really know what it means? These are questions that Jonah Goldberg seeks to answer in his #1 best-selling book " Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left, From Mussolini...

Jonah Goldberg tries to yoke two highly incompatible subjects into one column in the Los Angeles Times : See, Yucca Mountain is where the government wants to keep incredibly dangerous substances -- nuclear waste -- until we figure out a better way to handle it. And Guantanamo Bay is where the federal government keeps incredibly dangerous people -- jihadi enemy combatants -- until we figure out a better...

Dumber than Jonah Goldberg times Doug Feith. Kevin James didn't just get owned, he got owned by Chris Fucking Matthews. I mean, that's like losing a goodness contest to Dick Cheney, or being proclaimed even less tolerant than Pat Buchanan. Watch the carnage:

It's a bit rambling, as it was a phoner. But some might find it interesting. An excerpt: MATTHEW SHEFFIELD (Editor, NewsBusters.org): I think the main thing about your book is that it's revisionist. Would you agree with that statement? JONAH GOLDBERG (Author, 'Liberal Fascism'): Yeah, I mean obviously revisionist is one of those words that has all sorts of different connotations to it...

Michael Gerson pens yet another Jeremiah Wright column in today's Washington Post. Comparing Wright to Martin Luther King, Jr. I wrote about Gerson doing this at Firedoglake over a week ago, and yet here he is doing it again. Because who possibly, short of Jonah Goldberg, would know more about the African-American experience then the guy who could replace John Hodgeman as the "PC" guy...

Imagine my surprise when I found this LA Times op-ed by Jonah Goldberg, where he actually compares two things of interest to me - long-term nuclear waste storage and long-term enemy combatant confinement. He thinks that liberals treat the two...
