WASHINGTON
(Excerpt) Read more at seattletimes.nwsource.com ...
You should follow the excerpt rule for two reasons:
1. EJ writes for the Washington comPost;
2. I wouldn't have to read his entire screed, and keep my breakfast down... ;^)
You sure this isn't Scrappleface?? It's pretty bad when you can't tell the difference.
==That's how guilt-by-association works. Make a charge and then once your attack is out there pretend that your words have been misinterpreted. Split your opponents. Put them on the defensive. Force them to say things like: "No, we're not soft on terrorism," or, "I'm not that kind of liberal." Once this happens, the attacker has already won.
Let's hope it works...because what he said is absolutely TRUE.
"Respectable opinion treats Rove's speech as just another partisan flap. It's much more. It's the reincarnation of a style of politics that turns political opponents into traitors or dupes who are soft on the nation's enemies. Welcome back to the '50s."
The truth really hurts doesn't it? It almost makes one forget the accusations that has been thrown Bush's way for the last few years.
"In the 1950s, the right wing attacked liberals for being communists. In 2005, Karl Rove has attacked liberals for being therapists. Thus is born a kinder and gentler form of McCarthyism."
Oh my GOD!
2.) See: "BARF Alert." :)
"2.) See: "BARF Alert." :)"
LOL
Yep.
I understand, I just didn't want you to get in trouble with the mods, and those with weak stomachs. ;^)
We cool. :)
E.J. Dionne is about as stupid and dumb as they come!!!
If they are not weak on fighting terroroism and national security, let's hear their ideas.
I think we will be waiting a long time.
I would almost agree with the post, except for the fact that McCarthy was right.
Anybody who denies that America has become more socialistic/communistic in the last five decades is smokin somethin better than I ever had...
Now, just go home, shut up, and pay your property taxes. Watch your DVD's, and sit on your backside until the local town council decides you're not enough of a benefit for the community to own the land you're on.
All the while praising pubbies and the American way and shrub and liberty and freedumb.
Well. I guess liberals would have to be *forced* to say they're "not soft on terrorism" eh?
This guy wrote for the NY Times before he switched to the Washington Compost. He also sits on the board of the Brookings Institution--a far left "think tank."
Many of his columns and public speeches are obsessed with stamping out every vestige of Judeo-Christian thought--although he never seems to have a problem with Hinduism, Islam, New Age cults, or any other religious system.
"Judeo-Christian" is a myth. Christ rejected almost every one of the Judaic sacraments.
Dionne has embarrassed every American with a lisp.
