O’Reilly and Tammy Bruce Call Out Radicals at MoveOn and Media Matters
It’s about time (HT Hot Air).
Radicalism can be as much about tactics used as it is philosophical positioning. In tactics, MoveOn and Media Matters are indisputably radical. Old Media’s occasional willingness to serve as accomplices indicates that some of its players have radical sympathies, or perhaps are in the process of being radicalized themselves.

UPDATE: It’s about time someone from the left invoked the M-Word, because it’s exactly what’s at work here (HT Taranto at Best of the Web) –
Wisconsin Rep. David Obey, a veteran Democrat, recounted how he left the Republican Party during the era of Sen. Joseph McCarthy, R-Wis., and said that lawmakers have an obligation to criticize their allies as well as their enemies when they go too far.
“I’ve got an obligation to be equally upset when that kind of juvenile debate emanates from the left,” Obey said.
That would put Obey directly at odds with this supposed non-radical. Boy, do I not miss the red-faced, finger-pointing, paranoid arrogance that used to pervade the White House.
Smearing, according to Bill O’Reilly, means posting transcripts. But don’t take my word for it. Go to mediamatters.org and see for yourself. Bizzy, if you keep crying radical, one day, when you actually find a radical, no one will believe you.
