Bullets or ballots?
I had to delete a previous post written in haste, in which I accused Greg Palast of advocating the assassination of Bill Frist. He did not do that, and I thought it would be irresponsible for me to leave it up. What I thought I saw (via a link from my blogfather Jeff Soyer) was columnist Greg Palast apparently wishing for the assassination of Bill Frist: It's not nice to say, but there's only one way to stop Doctor Death. In 2008, I hope to see the headline, "Senator Frist Slain in a Hail of Ballots." Ballots are not bullets. Accordingly, my post was deleted in a deliberate, intentional coverup. (Rather than cover up my coverup, I thought I should write this post.) My apologies for any confusion created by my mistake. posted by Eric on 08.09.05 at 03:28 PM

Why is Pallast so down on Frist? Given that Frist broke with Bush on both stem-cell research and creationism-as-science, perhaps we should be looking for a more dangerous wingnut to pick on. (I hear Alan Keyes wants two of Michael Jackson's former jurors jailed for doing their duty.) Raging Bee · August 10, 2005 09:53 AM I'm not a Palast reader, but this was about gun control. Eric Scheie · August 10, 2005 11:41 AM Greg Palast is a columnist?! For a real newspaper? Is their circulation too high? Do too many of their conservative and moderate readers trust them?
