(24,979 posts)Besides that professionally "the right" specializes in being outraged at all things done by anyone who is not officially "the right," it's absurd to imply Jane Harman is somehow on "the left" simply due to party affiliation.

- Among the worst Democratic enablers and in fact cheerleaders of the Bush regime
- Among the worst of the total homeland non-stop terror-panic propaganda warriors
- Among the top 5 recipients of campaign cash from military-industrial contractors
- Always all the way with Pentagon and CIA
- I believe the absolute richest member of Congress
- "Blue Dog" PAC favorite
- Remember H.R. 1955, the Jane Harman Thought Crimes Act of 2007? Okay, I made up the title, it was called the "Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007" and actually passed the House 403-4 before stalling.
