Utterly right--Taibbi is proving himself to be an incredible coward, unable to call Trump on his administrations open attack on free speech, day after day, as they arrest people for simply speaking their minds on Israel's open slaughter of Palestinians. Instead he continues to hide behind these stories about hypocritical Democrats. Yea, no shit, we already knew that the Democrats were empty and bankrupt; that's why we came here. But we expected that he cared about Free Speech per se, not simply Free Speech that Democrats suppressed. Of course, Taibbi can't find the balls to say anything critical about Israel either, which is thoroughly stunning--and I say that as a Jew, too. What is happening in Israel and the distortion by AIPAC reaching into this country are big stories, but Taibbi only cares about simple slam dunks about Democrats who have now have no power, rather than turning his eye's towards the GOP's rampant corruption and destruction of the government every day, right now. At some point, you're simply a slick apologist for really bad people.
