SULLIVAN SMACKS AROUND SLOTS BENNETT

I'v noted before that right-wing pinheads have been calling everything to the left of their extreme positions "far left" and Slots Bennett just used that phrase to describe Barack Obama. Andrew Sullivan provides a near-perfect riposte:
This "far left" meme is meaningless. It says everything about the intellectual bankruptcy of the talk radio right and nothing about the substantive polices and challenges of a president Obama.

Nader will call for Bush's resignation, speaking of what is commonly called 'far left.' Good opportunity to mention, Nader criticised Obama in a WSJ interview
several days ago as being too much a "corporate Democrat," and overly indulgent to the Israeli Lobby, noting a year long curtailment of his previous support for Palestinians.
