In case you were wondering, here's the latest notice from NewsMax, an extreme-right wing web site:
Eyeing a run for the Republican presidential nomination in 2012, Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty has moved to the right to better appeal to the conservatives who will likely select the GOP candidate.
Pawlenty has been viewed during his two terms as fairly close to the center. But in recent weeks he has made several moves to burnish his right-wing credentials.
Among them: He yanked state funding for the ACORN community organizing group, termed fears over so-called death panels "legitimate," called President Barack Obama's address to schoolchildren "uninvited," suggested he could assert states' rights to block federal healthcare reform, and called Obama's reform plans "a joke."
Well there are a number of problems with Pawlenty's actions. A good right-wing extremist does what's expected of him, but while
Gov. Tim Pawlenty today joined the chorus of disapproval aimed at the ACORN community organizing group, ordering that state agencies "stop all state funding" of the group.
... a local spokesman for the group said there's no state funding to stop.
But one thing that never gets in the way of a good right-wing action is reality. This is just one example.
