Expose The Hypocrisy

To See A Plagiarist In The Flesh, Twenty-Five Big Ones


While Nantucket has been known to exist in a parallel universe, are the summering "locals" really willing to pay $25 to see the likes of civic disgrace Mike Barnicle?

From the Nantucket Independent, Barnicle's lecture will apparently initiate an all-moonbat series at Nantucket High School:


Mike Barnicle will kick off the 2008 Geschke Lecture series on July 7, 8 p.m., at the Nantucket High School auditorium. Barnicle will address the theme of this year's series which is "A Country At The Crossroads: Critical Issues Facing America."

Barnicle is a columnist for the New York Daily News and host of a daily radio program on WTKK-FM in Boston. He is a frequent guest, and occasional guest host, on MSNBC's 'Hardball with Chris Matthews.'

The series continues with: former Delaware Congressman and Governor Pete du Pont on July 16, NPR political reporter Mara Liasson on July 23, Washington Post foreign relations correspondent Robin Wright on July 30 and moderator of PBS's "Washington Week" Gwen Ifill on August 2.

Tickets are $25 for each lecture and are on sale at www.nantucketatheneum. org or at the Nantucket Atheneum, 1 India Street.


What are the odds his lecture will be stolen from someone else?

So, people will pay $25 to sit and nod in agreement as Barnicle comments on all the new Liberal things this country ought to be doing, added to all the 'old' Liberal things that aren't working. Things like the war on poverty, which they are losing while we are winning the war in Iraq. Things like public schools, which continue to evolve into embarrassing cesspools of wasted money while the educational cabal spending all that money continues to blame the parents.

Yes, this series of 'lectures' is the very epitome of 'preaching to the choir.' Every single person will be a good, card-carrying Liberal and they will all nod in studious agreement at everything this media hack has to say.

Comical! Obvious! Blatant!

I'm not sure that Dupont can be called a "Moonbat". H's a Republican that has been calling for a flat tax for years. I know him mostly from his columns at opinionjournal.com. Is there something I'm missing? Also, doesn't Mara Liasson appear on Fox News regularly?

What? No Conservative point of view??
I'm shocked! Chris (above) says, "Comical! Obvious! Blatant!"
Ditto! The epitome of American Devo-lution!

Barnicle, a bare-knuckles journo of the highest order, has not been good to my (Jewish) people. But he has been good to my (gay) people. I am conflicted, but I like Mike overall. Tough, hard-as-nails, get-to-the bottom of it Mike. He is an icon. A legend. Leave him be.

Pete DuPont is a hardcore conservative Republican with libertarian leanings.

Mara Liasson is a regular on that bastion of liberalism, Fox News.

Are you trying to be moronic, or is this some accident, Brian?

By J. Angel's logic, the Boston Globe is a conservative newspaper because they carry Jeff Jacoby.

Bhnitraw: it was worth saying three times.

With the felon and Claproot as co hosts it sounds to me just just like Err America radio before they went bankrupt.
