JSOnline launches “Purple Wisconsin”

From the folks at JSOnline comes “Purple Wisconsin.”

At Purple Wisconsin, a group of eight community bloggers will comment throughout the year on state and regional issues.

The idea is to try to elevate the level of discussion about the most important issues of the day – especially at a time when the political debate too often is hijacked by extremists on both sides.

Ironic is that the folks at the Journal Sentinel want to “elevate the level of discussion” about the most important issues of the day with right-wing extremists like Rick Esenberg, Aaron Rodriguez, Christian Schneider, and Sunny Schubert. After all, both Schneider and Schubert write/work for the Wisconsin Policy Research Institute, a right-wing “free market” think tank that includes right-wing radio squawker Charlie Sykes as one of its commentators.

While I’m convinced James Rowen can (and will) write circles around the group of right-wing extremists the Journal Sentinel has assembled as part of their “Purple Wisconsin” project, perhaps the group could be more appropriately named “The Bradley Foundation and a few lefties.”
