Scheer
Recall
Stickin'
with Gray
[Stefan Sharkansky]
8/13/03 (Editor's Note: Stefan Sharkansky
provides a valuable ongoing service deconstructing LA Times "columnist"
Robert Scheer.)
Robert Scheer devotes this
week's column to the California recall
election.
"Take
him, he's yours."
That was
my initial response to the California recall, aimed at a conservative
Democratic governor
who often has betrayed
the state's large progressive base of voters -- the same
folks who held their noses to elect and then reelect him.
Gray
Davis was endorsed in
his first gubernatorial primary (1998) by the ultra liberal
Americans for Democratic Action.
Those "progressives" for
whom Gray Davis is too "conservative" consist
mainly of Robert Scheer and a handful of other geriatric
hippies
from the Kim
Il-Sung fan club.
Scheer goes
on to blame George W Bush and the Republicans for the California
energy
crisis, which, as we discovered
a few
weeks ago, took
place while Gray Davis was governor and Bill Clinton
was president.
He also blames
California's budget woes on Republican tax cuts. On the other
hand, while Robert Scheer
earns a fine
income
by writing that other people should pay more than their
fair share
of taxes, Robert Scheer doesn't always pay his own taxes.
(Go to Sharkansky's blog to access the Los
Angeles County Tax Collector Delinquent Tax Roll page.)
Next, the
not very Christian Robert Scheer gives us some surprising
reasons why he is supporting Gray Davis over
Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Ironically,
Schwarzenegger is as "liberal" as Davis
on the hot-button issues of abortion, gun control
and gay rights. And can anyone suggest that Hollywood bon
vivant Schwarzenegger
better typifies Christian values than squeaky-clean
Davis -
The fact
that many California Republicans support Schwarzenegger is
consistent with the observations that (a) not
all California Republicans are Christian conservatives,
and (b)
not all Christian conservatives vote solely for
other Christian
conservatives. This demonstrates that the openminded
diversity of the California
Republicans is exceeded only by the shrill hypocrisy
of Robert Scheer, who also reminds us that Gray
Davis was
a decorated
officer in Vietnam when his peers were demonstrating in the
streets
along with
Robert
Scheer.
