      <![CDATA[The Tennessean is terrified that right-wingers won't read their paper, that is why Valentine is even writing a column. And editorial columnists (especially talk radio con artists) routinely make stuff up, so I don't think the Tennessean is going to fact check before-hand.

      <![CDATA[@Henry Yes I was going to turn the post into a lengthy meditation on the constitutional principle of incorporation, something of which Valentine sems blissfully unaware, but I ran out of steam.<br />
@spaz Agreed that's how right wing talk radio works routinely; my beef is with The Tennessean, which allows itself to be a platform for outright fabrication by an op-ed columnist. As Henry suggests there should be corrections of factual errors by columnists, not just reporters.

      <![CDATA[Valentine knows the facts of the case and lied anyway because he knows his fans can't be bothered to look them up on their own.<br />
Telling conservatives what they want to hear instead of the truth has been the modus operandi of conservative talk radio since at least 1998. Where the hell have you been, Bruce?

      <![CDATA[Bruce, you are exactly right about the Wilson County suit. You might  have added that the whole premise of yesterday's column, ie.,  that the First Amendment applies only to Congress but not to the states, is also incorrect.

In other words: Don't hold your breath for them to dump Valentine.
