"The right's embrace in the Miers nomination of tactics previously exclusive to the left — exaggeration, invective, anonymous sources, an unbroken stream of new charges, television advertisements paid for by secret sources — will make it immeasurably harder to denounce and deflect such assaults when the Democrats make them the next time around." -- Hugh Hewitt on the New York Times Op-Ed Page, via Kevin Drum (emphasis added)
Wow. I am glad that the Republicans avoided using "exaggeration, invective, anonymous sources, an unbroken stream of new charges, television advertisements paid for by secret sources" when attacking John Kerry with those fun kids from the
Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, or that George Bush's henchmen played above board in
South Carolina in 2000 when engaging in a push poll against John McCain about whether he fathered an illegitimate "black baby" (he and his wife had adopted their daughter out of Mother Teresa's orphanage in Bangladesh). And I hope sincerely that the Republicans don't stoop to the Democrats' level when attacking someone like Hillary Clinton. After all, if they did, then they would be engaging in something like
Hillary hate-porn, to steal James Wolcott's phrase. Oh, wait . . . .
"BYE FOR NOW [John Podhoretz]
In news that will doubtless gladden many hearts, I must report that I am taking a leave from The Corner through the end of this year because, like everybody else on this website, I am in the process of finishing a book . . . . I wish you Godspeed. And buy my book on Hillary when it comes out in the spring!"
Here is a random and far from exclusive list of Hillary hate-porn, available from Amazon.com right now for your pleasure (note the Jonah Goldberg title for special fun)!
