Right-Wing Civil War: Bloggers Admit AM Nut Mark Levin Can't Tell The Truth

I wish the Delaware Republican primary season could have stretched on for a few more weeks or even months. Watching partisan right-wing pundits battle each other over the state's U.S. Senate nomination was pure delight. And the media fratricide that marked the final 48 hours of the bitter campaign battle was especially satisfying as some far-right propaganda players finally got a taste of their own misinformation medicine.

My favorite part: Watching GOP bloggers at Powerline condemn Tea Party hate talker Mark Levin for being unethical. (You don't say!)

It's ironic because all these right-wing bloggers and talk show hosts shovel bullshit all the time. It's what they do. It's how many of them make their living. They strive to shovel as much of it as they can in a 24-hour day. They take pride in their shoveling prowess. They layer it high and try to score points by shaping their piles into new and usual forms: Obama is a Kenyan communist! Texas was invaded by Mexico drug gangs! Nancy Pelosi is Hitler's mistress. Or whatever idiocy they dream up that day, and whatever their sycophantic readers and listeners want to ingest.

That's the norm. That's considered okay. In fact, that's celebrated within the GOP Noise Machine.

The mistake Levin and some of his hot-headed online supporters made in defending O'Donnell and smearing Castle's media backers was they didn't shovel their dung far enough. Meaning, the manure landed inside the right-wing blogosphere and splattered onto the loafers of the Powerline team, which took offense and complained loudly about the stench surrounding Levin's misinformation.

Yeah well, welcome to the club guys.
