Right-wingers practicing what the Maoists call "criticism/self-criticism"? Well, maybe not. But last night's Rachel Maddow featured a courageous journey into what Che would have called "the belly of the beast" by Jonathan Henke of the conservative blog TheNextRight. Rachel was discussing Henke's "forcebul pushback", against the right's lunatic fringe, what he calls "the fevered swamps". He was there to decry what he fears is the destruction of the "intellectual foundations of the right" by those who "traffic in the paranoid conspiracy theories" and "take away from our abilities to discuss important issues". Sound familiar?
HERE'S THE OFFENDING ORIGINAL STORY BY HENKE
AND HERE'S THE FOLLOW-UP PIECE
