DRAWING THE LINE.... A radical political website called WorldNetDaily is known for its bizarre commentary on current events, and its latest "story," pushed by Jerome Corsi, is that the Obama administration is considering Nazi-like concentration camps for dissidents. Jon Henke, a prominent conservative blogger and Republican strategist, has seen enough.
Good for Jon Henke. The more prominent conservatives say "Enough" to fringe trash, the better it will be for the political discourse and the American mainstream. There is, however, a small catch. Henke argues that those who advertise on WorldNetDaily shouldn't be considered "respectable," and deserve to be boycotted. That's an entirely defensible position, but the Republican National Committee is one of the entities that does business with WorldNetDaily. Indeed, they partnered on a mailing as recently as last week. Perhaps Henke's call will encourage the RNC to reconsider its relationship with "fringe idiocy"? Comments
well this guy henke obviously hates america and is against the 1st amendment and and and Posted by: neill on August 31, 2009 at 4:59 PM | PERMALINKWing Nut Daily reminds me that we all need to press Obama and Congress to include comprehensive mental-health coverage in health-care reform. A Conservative with a functioning brain? WTF is going on? It has to be a bad dream. I expect full apologies from him in few hours.

Posted by: worldnut on August 31, 2009 at 5:15 PM | PERMALINKMost people call birthers, et al, a fringe; the GOP calls them its base. And therein lies the problem. -Z Posted by: Zorro on August 31, 2009 at 5:21 PM | PERMALINKAs a conservative who has already noted my party's errant pathway, I find Henke's view refreshing. There is a very real substantive difference between conservatism and what we are witnessing now which isn't conservative at all. It's pure and unadulterated crazy, anti-democratic shit! -Kevo Posted by: kevo on August 31, 2009 at 5:36 PM | PERMALINKPerhaps Henke's call will encourage the RNC to reconsider its relationship with "fringe idiocy"? I'll try to respond to your question as soon as I stop laughing. Posted by: alopecia on August 31, 2009 at 5:42 PM | PERMALINKJerome Corsi is a brilliant investigative reporter so I trust this story. I plan to saddleback all my local fellow Republicans to spread the word. Posted by: Mlke K on August 31, 2009 at 5:54 PM | PERMALINKAlopecia,
Sure. They will denounce Henke as a unpatriotic liberal etc. Only pure morons are now left in that party who are eagerly waiting for next "White Hope". Posted by: Ajay on August 31, 2009 at 5:54 PM | PERMALINKboycott the rnc? Hahaha.... The RNC wouldn't reconsider its relationship with "fringe idiocy", because FI is one of its major tools of manipulation, propaganda, and bullying. It's their strongest (and as in, "strong smell") base these days. But by all means - applaud Mr. Henke for making the "have you no decency" call, while pressing him to be consistent and condemn the RNC as well. Posted by: Neil B ♪ on August 31, 2009 at 7:33 PM | PERMALINKWell, you know, some organizations are just too big to disrespect. Posted by: s9 on August 31, 2009 at 8:15 PM | PERMALINKHenke, the Christmas Poo? Limbaugh, Palin, Steele and Beck will flush him like the insignificant little cling-on he is. The lunatics are in charge. They control the money, they control the party, and they are the base. The era of moderate Republicans died on top of Megan Marshak. Posted by: Roger Ailes on August 31, 2009 at 9:59 PM | PERMALINK"The Birthers are the Birchers of our time" The Republican party as a whole is the Birchers of our time.
