Hot Air "An instant classic, possibly even superior to their interview with that imbecile in San Francisco who wants to ban Happy Meals. Let me tweak the headline, though, since it’s not quite accurate. Better version: “Liberal columnist destroys herself as ‘Daily Show’ cameras roll.” It’s Froma Harrop, whom you’ll remember from her column in August comparing tea partiers — unfavorably — to terrorists who want to blow up the power grid. How they managed to pull off this goof without her wising up, I simply can’t imagine. She must have wised up but, for reasons known only to her, decided to play along with the humiliation. (Being a “good sport,” maybe?) Either that or what we’re seeing here is actually a tour de force of editing that turned what was a routine interview into a surreal expose of oblivious hypocrisy. No one be this clueless for real. Can they?"
Froma says she was in on it. But why would she help this guy make such a point?
Ace of Spades has this.
Wikipedia mentions this here: "Harrop is the President of the National Conference of Editorial Writers.[9] One project of the NCEW is the Civility Project, aimed at restoring civility to America's public discourse.[10] Her position was criticized by the Wall Street Journal, which noted the contrast between this role and her comparison of the Tea Party to terrorist groups such as al-Qaida.[11] In her response to the criticism, Harrop stated, "I see incivility as not letting other people speak their piece." [12] She subsequently deleted all the comments from the post and shut down the commenting feature of her blog.[13]
But whether she was in on it or not, a true picture of leftist civility was shown to us in all its glory.

Her blog subsequently addressed the decision to delete the posted comments, saying that she was unwilling to spend time monitoring the large number of comments, while noting that a website is private property and that commenters could post their opinions elsewhere.Other bloggers, she said, have shut down their forums for similar reasons.[14]"
