The Obama-Clinton Issue
2008-01-24 04:36:00 The Obama -Clinton Issue David Brooks brings up a positive Obama angle that I hadn’t considered before. It is all the more noteworthy, insofar as he is a Republican, and should, if he followed a cynical logic, want Clinton to win, the theory being that she might be what Republicans need to unite. But I shouldn’t have been surprised. Brooks is no hack. He displays the same kind of integrity on The News Hour with Jim Lehrer. More About: Linton

Angry White Man
2008-01-13 21:00:00 Angry White ManThis New Republic article, to which the one by Lipstadt below refers, contains evidence from Ron Paul’s own newsletter. Of these sources, author James Kirchick writes: What they reveal are decades worth of obsession with conspiracies, sympathy for the right-wing militia movement, and deeply held bigotry against blacks, Jews, and gays. In short, they suggest that Ron Paul is not the plain-speaking antiwar activist his supporters believe they are backing—but rather a member in good standing of some of the oldest and ugliest traditions in American politics.
