Krugman: The Uncivil War


"The campaign against 'political hate speech' originates with the Republican National Committee. But last week the committee unveiled its first ad for the 2004 campaign, and it's as hateful as they come. 'Some are now attacking the president for attacking the terrorists,' it declares.

Again, there's that weasel word 'some.' No doubt someone doesn't believe that we should attack terrorists. But the serious criticism of the president, as the committee knows very well, is the reverse: that after an initial victory in Afghanistan he shifted his attention -- and crucial resources -- from fighting terrorism to other projects."

When will Paul mention that this kinda tactic, so prevalent in the current state of mainstream media, works mostly on Bubbas?

I'm waiting for Rebubbalican to become a household word! Remember, you saw it here first!
