The liberal blogosphere is atwitter over the recent debut of Red America, a blog unabashedly aimed at educating us decadent coastal types on the finer points of mid-American wisdom. The general point of view among the technorati is that the blog, authored by Ben Domenech, is a response to criticism the Post has received over a perceived liberal bias, specifically in the blog written by Post journalist Dan Froomkin. Froomkin’s White House Briefing focuses on President Bush and his administration, and it often portrays their actions in a negative light. One might argue that a recitation of any newspaper’s headlines would do the same, but that’s beside the point, at least as far as the Post’s conservative detractors are concerned.

Domenech is a co-founder of RedState, a conservative blog that infamously took blacks to task on the occasion of Coretta Scott King’s funeral, for having a culture that is, “below what it should be.” He’s also a book editor for Regnery Publishing, which has given us such titles as “Inventing the AIDS Virus,” a book that documents how HIV is not, in fact, the cause of AIDS. He’s also worked as a political appointee for President Bush and as a speechwriter for Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson and Texas Senator John Cornyn. Quite the resume for such a young fellow.
