Here we go with the usual liberal mewling about the "complex nature" of a liberal presidential frontrunner. Like clockwork, the press lemmings produce these stories to confuse voters and to confuse whatever issues there are at hand. In this case, it's Kerry's record - or more accurately his involvement with known 60s Marxist revolutionaries.
So we get the usual trip about "nuance" and "complexity" when referring to something everyone knows. Liberals love to be told they have a real respect for "complexity" even if their political speech amounts to nothing more than name-calling and personal attacks.
I'd forgotten about that. I refuse to watch Chris Matthews anymore, but he was also mewing about how uncurious President Bush was, and how unintellectual he was. The Left does place a high premium on 'smart intellectualism' which is just like a sixties college BS session.
