AP: 'Fearless' Liberalism of Franken Primary Opponent
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 05/11/2008 3:13:57 PM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Jack Nelson-Pallmeyer is a college professor with a long history of political activism and fearless liberalism.—AP, 5-11-08, profile of candidate for Minn. Dem primary nomination [emphasis added].

Fearless liberalism? Fearless? It's fearless for an American college professor to be a big-time liberal? Give me a fearless break!

Yet that's how the AP described the predictably left-wing politics of the man challenging Al Franken for the right to challenge Republican Norm Coleman for his seat in the US Senate. Among Nelson-Pallmeyer's positions:

* opposed to the death penalty in all circumstances * suppport nationwide legalization of same-sex marriages * favors a full withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq in the next nine months * advocates universal single-payer health insurance and a massive reduction in defense spending.

Maybe “fearless liberalism” is a just euphemism for what in reality is plain old obnoxious liberalism.

Actually it’s just another description of personal lack of any common sense and a terrible hunger for power over others...those they feel are just not entitled to anything other than subjugation. Which apparently is everyone other than themselves.

It’s fearless to be a liberal college professor?

Wow. I didn’t realize that, every time I stroll the commons in Ithaca, I’m walking among so many giants.
