Lanny Davis worked in the Clinton White House and supported Joe Lieberman. He has just written Liberal McCarthyism :
"The far right does not have a monopoly on bigotry and hatred and sanctimony."
Davis is right to a point. Indeed, there were many anti-Clinton wackos. I recall that period and did not support the right wing excesses either.
Davis is wrong on this. I have never seen anything close to Bush Derangement Syndrome, a disease identified By Charles Krauthammer in 2003:
"the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in reaction to the policies, the presidency -- nay -- the very existence of George W. Bush."
BDS drives good people to believe anything, as long as the idea is promoted by someone who hates Bush.
The Connecticut primary turned into ground zero for the BDS virus. Ned Lamont is a shallow candidate who hates Bush but has very little else to say. He is the classic BDS-er!
Martin Peretz is editor in chief of The New Republic. Check out The "peace" Democrats are back :
"But he does have one issue, and it is Iraq. He grasps little of the complexities of his issue, but then this, too, is true of the genus of the peace candidate. Peace candidates know only one thing, and that is why people vote for them. I know the type well. I was present at its creation."
Jed Babbin is the author of Inside the Asylum about the UN and Showdown about China. Check out
Democrats' Danse Macabre:
"Throughout the Clinton years, the Dems' hid behind Clinton's "don't worry, be happy" smile. The good times rolled on while the danger of Islamic terrorism grew.
Now, almost five years into a war, their entire 2006 national defense strategy is contained in Alfred E. Neuman's "What, me worry?"
That fact disturbs the Dems not at all, because they have no constituency other than the most rabid antiwar Bush haters."
Why does the left hate Senator Lieberman? Because Lieberman does not hate Pres. Bush. It's as simple as that.
