From the LA Times this morning:

Some fear GOP is being carried to the extreme

All well and good, but it might be a better story if “some” turned out to be more than a grand total of two people.  And even at that, one of the two is David Frum, who’s been estranged from the loony bin wing of the party for nearly a year now.  By contrast, the article quotes four people defending the crackpots.  “Some” might indeed fear that the GOP is being carried to extreme, but apparently it’s a pretty small movement so far.

Fact:

Mother Jones was founded as a nonprofit in 1976 because we knew corporations and billionaires wouldn't fund the type of hard-hitting journalism we set out to do.
