I just read this piece in the Journal and I’m glad it’s been posted here. It was a rational but unsparing analysis of exactly what the left is doing here, and why they’re doing it: simply put, they lost electorally, and now they’re trying the old trick of “winning” by outlawing their opponents. Fortunately, I don’t think they have enough power to do this right off the bat, but they’re hoping the media will jump in and give them the power through the creation of hysteria among the populace.
As a sort of ironic sidelight, I saw here that Congresswoman Giffords was the Representative who read the 1st Amendment when they read the Constitution at the opening session of the House a few days ago.
Yes, that tape of her has been on Fox News.
We have to argue right back with the smear merchants. We learned from W that being a punching bag does us no good at all.
Just respond to them rationally the way the WSJ article did and let the bass turds choke on the facts.
