Interesting that liberals have not changed their tactics for so long.

What a great article!

I will prefer an athiest conservative over a religious liberal any day.

From Buckley to Goldwater, from Reagan to Gingrich, from Rush Limbaugh to Clarence Thomas and Ann Coulter, conservatives of different styles and mediums have been treated precisely the same. No matter the topic, no matter the personality, whether the year is 1951 or 2006 they are angrily assailed for their views.

What seemingly frightens liberals is the penetrating questions and different policy proscriptions that challenge their once secure worldview. As time has moved on and liberal solutions have been tried and found drastically wanting, the American public quite naturally has looked elsewhere for answers.

Piece by piece, trench by trench, the empire that was once American liberalism is under assault by men and women of all ages, incomes, faiths, races and professions. From academia to politics to religion, the media and the law, the liberal Humpty Dumpty has fallen from its once dominant perch. No matter how hard they try, liberals will never be able to put it back together again. The venom spewed at Ann Coulter's demand to liberals to stop hiding behind grief or war records or illness in a debate is not really about Ann Coulter at all. It is one very influential section of American society realizing that their world, the world they created and ran for most of the twentieth century, is dying in front of their eyes.

This is the Left doing what it can to discredit the messngers of the Right so that people won't listen to their message. It is os typical of the Left to avoid debating the issues and instead to resort to name-calling. Unfortunately, many people who watch the MSM news don't realize this.

William F Buckley Jr. is such a great man.. they just don't make them like they used to anymore.

I didn't realize that the liberal silence tactics went so far back in time. Interesting article.

This is great! THEY are going to be the most responsible for the sales of Ann's book.

I'm going to do what I read another FReeper's going to do: I'm going to buy another book and give it out as a gift.

>"The book is one which has the glow and appeal of a fiery cross on a hillside at night. There will undoubtedly be robed figures who gather to it, but the hoods will not be academic. They will cover the face," snarled one, ominously comparing it to a work of the Ku Klux Klan. "This fascist thesis," angrily spluttered another, "...This...pure fascism....What more could Hitler, Mussolini, or Stalin ask for...?">

Sounds like the voice of personal experience speaking in these matters.

Maybe they should axe Bobby Kleagle Bird what spf factor they should use on their hands to prevent klan tan! Or maybe they should axe Joisy Reps about banning political book sales!

Indeed personal and recent experience!

Good stuff. Thanks for posting. WFB rules!

Oh so true.

Klansmen are probably macroevolutionists (or of some pseudoCreationist variety).

Spot-on analysis. This is a great, must-read article. Imagine what might have happened forty-fifty years ago had the lunatic lefties not had a stranglehold on information to the public? Thanks to Al Gore's internet, the left's monopoly on the media is no more.
