NO
JUSTICE, NO PEACE? So we've had nearly 8 years of lefty assassination
fantasies about George W. Bush, and Bill Ayers' bombing campaign is
explained away as a consequence of him having just felt so strongly about social justice,
but a few people yell things at McCain rallies and suddenly it's a sign
that anger is out of control in American politics? It's nice of McCain
to try to tamp that down, and James Taranto
sounds a proper cautionary note -- but, please, can we also note the
staggering level of hypocrisy here? (And that's before we get to the
Obama campaign's thuggish tactics aimed at silencing critics.)
The Angry Left has gotten away with all sorts of beyond-the-pale
behavior throughout the Bush Administration. The double standards
involved -- particularly on the part of the press -- are what are
feeding this anger. (Indeed, as Ann Althouse and John Leo
have noted, the reporting on this very issue is dubious). So while
asking for McCain supporters to chill a bit, can we also ask the press
to start doing its job rather than openly shilling for a Democratic
victory? Self-control is for everybody, if it's for anybody. . . .
UPDATE: Well, here's an opportunity to see how they do.
Plus, days of rage."
