Typical totalitarian thinking. Buchanan simply cannot have an opinion, he has to be dishonest. How does the author know he is dishonest. Did he talk to Buchanan before hand, and Buchanan told him he thought otherwise than what he wrote. Totalitarians cannot stand others whose opinion deviates from their own. Anybody who dissents is dishonest, evil you might say.

I think you have generalized something which was, in fact, quite specific: a particular piece of writing by Pat Buchanan which was full of rhetorical cheap tricks.

Pat Buchanan knows as well as anybody --- or should know --- that on a topic as important as the defense of Doctrine, you've got to be accurate. Mills carefully explains why.

"Carefully explaining why" is not a totalitarian tactic.
