Our Contradictions, Ourselves.
Evidence that when politics are based on emotion and not intellect, consistency goes out the window:
First, Oliver Willis urges calm on North Korea’s nuclear test. Nukes in the hands of Kim Jong Il are nothing to get worked up about, as opposed to Tea Parties, of course.
Then Ezra Klein all of a sudden gets his dander up over exclusive associations; the same Ezra Klein who founded exclusive listserve JournoList.
And finally, Dalia Lithwick decries accusations of mysogyny…after crying “mysogynist!” just a few years ago.
Who will be next? Stay tuned. Given that the same people who told us Bush was a war criminal for his approaches to national security now see their Utopia Bringer perpetuating Bush-era policies, there should be no shortage of Lefties contradicting themselves.
