Kevin Drum gets a whuppin'

JunkYardBlog: August 13, 2006 - August 19, 2006 Archives: "[H]owever, the larger point is obvious and gabberflasting: he’d rather let Iran stand unrebuked than give W an excuse to do something about it. If I accused the Left of thinking like this, even though I suspected it, I’d feel kind of sheepish and get written off as a nut; but here’s black and white confirmation of some of my worst suspicions. Some of them.

This is a journalist, by the way; someone who—though he may be biased—is supposed to have some passing acquaintance with telling the truth. Even if it helps the other party. But his conscience is troubled more by possibly helping Bush with his super-important, oracular, weighty-smart words than it is by his helping the Mullahs—the antithesis of everything he believes, and who want to kill us all—through his dishonest silence."

Kevin Drum should be ashamed of himself. He came right out and said that he would not sad bad things about Iran because it might help Bush.

I doubt if Drum really matters all that much but this kind of thinking is distinctly illeberal.
