seems to me that conservatives are squealing now that tactics they've no problem with promoting and using so long as they serve a conservative political purpose are being turned on one of their own. this after decades of red-baiting, attempting to squash or marginalize dissent from what was once the left. i find that funny.
so's the implicit assumption that the actual content of arguments presented as if they were coherent on a 24/7 "news" channel are of no consequence, that anything goes, and that what a consumer society really means is that not only do consumers have no power to question the range of commodities they can choose from (their "power" lay only in choosing another from within the range) but that consumers *should* have no power. unless of course they're organized by conservative groups and directed toward conservative-friendly ends.
