Out of the Mouth of Babes

It is funny how the right wing media crucifies the left in the US. In the 2004 campaign John Kerry was painted as a "flip flopper" because he changed his mind about the Iraq war. (Note: the famous economist John Maynard Keynes dealt with this by stating "When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do, sir?").

The following clip from the Randi Rhodes left wing radio show points out how egregiously McCain flip flops, but there is not a whisper in the US media. Strange?



Oh... and for added effect, here is right wing radio host Michael Reagan -- son of President Ronald Reagan -- calling for babies and mothers to be killed. As Randi Rhodes points out, it is odd that US "decency" laws forbid her to say the word "shit" on the radio, but a nutcase right wing lunatic like Michael Reagan can call for the blowing up of innocent babies and that is not considered offensive to US "decency". Odd...



As for the title of this blog entry? It comes from: Psalms 8:2: Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
