"And this year we've already heard echoes of it, with the Republicans casting Barack Obama as un-American—an exotic foreigner raised partly in Indonesia with a Muslim middle name . . . ."
Wasn't it Senator Clinton's surrogates who distributed pictures of Senator Obama dressed as a Somilian elder wearing a turban? Wasn't it Senator Clinton's surrogates who ran a telephone campaign to make Jews believe Senator Obama was really a Muslim with an anti-Israel and anti-West agenda?
Senator Clinton's a Democrat, not a Republican. Yet this piece, in complete intellectual dishonesty, ascribes all attacks on Senator Obama as un-American to the Republicans. Liberal Journalism 101: When all else fails, ignore the facts you dislike and blame the Republicans.
Maybe, just maybe, there are elements of both parties who jump to accusing their opponents (inside and outside their parties) of being un-American instead of having a meaningful policy discussion. Maybe, just maybe, we've seen that very thing in talks on immigration. Maybe, just maybe, we've seen that very thing in talks on NAFTA or other free trade agreements.
