Frogs
Excellent post by Digby -- read it all, but here's the kicker:It has become clear to me that we are frogs being slowly boiled to death. And the media are enjoying the hot tub party so much that they are helping to turn up the heat.
The fact that Time could put Ann Coulter, a person who has advocated murdering journalists, on the cover of its magazine at the time of the 10th anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing is incredibly scary.
Also read this excellent post by David Neiwart about domestic terrorism.
We shrug off terrorism when it's committed by white Americans, but we fire up the bombers and declare a "war on terror" when it's committed by brown-skinned foreigners. Pointing this out, of course, is deeply unAmerican.
