"It’s going to be nearly impossible to cover every attempt of the right wing to get someone fired, unless that’s your specific blogging beat, because, as I noted yesterday, they’re in full-blown blood lust mode. That said, I’m going to post on the attack on Kevin Jennings, the Assistant Deputy Secretary at the Department of Education for the Office of Safe and Drug Free Schools, because it’s interesting that Sean Hannity and his cohorts that are trying to get Jennings fired through sheer tenacity are basically arguing that gay men are pedophiles. This is an interesting switch in tactics. Usually, they invent some unheard of ethical breach, come up with half-assed reasons they have decided this is an ethical breach, and then force the person to resign rather than get dragged down in debating whether it’s unethical to do things like set up a meeting between artists and the President, if you work for the NEA. The more dada-esque the accusation, the better, in fact." - Steven Perez from Bookmarklet
