Dinesh D’Souza’s poison (Secular Right)
http://secularright.org/SR/wordpress/?p=4815

. . .

David Frum has eloquently blasted Newt Gingrich for embracing D’Souza’s “How Obama Thinks,” which Frum calls a “brazen outburst of race-baiting.” Unfortunately, Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh, who have also endorsed D’Souza’s Forbes ravings, have far more influence than Gingrich. When the book on which the Forbes article was based comes out on October 4, we can expect a blitz on the conservative media. Perhaps The Roots of Obama’s Rage will provide the arguments so sorely lacking in D’Souza’s article. If it does not, Regnery Publishing comes out of this episode far more discredited than Forbes. And any talk show host who gives D’Souza a platform will be further poisoning American political discourse. I would also hope that King’s College, a Christian school in New York City, is having buyer’s remorse about making D’Souza its president.

Political hatred and fear should be summoned forth only under the most exigent of circumstances. D’Souza has failed completely to make the case for unleashing his incendiary brand of irrationality.

1. D'Souza is a third-rate hack who only wishes he could be
called a legitimate journalist. Eager to hold onto what little credibility he has with his RW fans he is obliged to launch ever increasingly desperate crap about Obama, hoping hope against hope that Steve Forbes won't fire him. He is the journalistic equivalent of Ann Coulter - say something, anything no matter how outrageous to see if they'll notice you. Hey, hey - over here - look - it's me, Denesh.:puke:
