Reply #9: I think the Suskind article was a turning point

[scottxyz]

It was one of the most important articles published in the last few years in the American press.

Rather than himself attacking Bush, the reporter simply let Bush supporters hang themselves with their own rope, by letting them go on the record proclaiming their scorn for the ´reality-based community´.

Remember, it´s usually conservatives who accuse liberals of being starry-eyed idealists out of touch with the real world. The Suskind article shows that it´s actually Bush and his cronies who are out of touch with reality, living in a bubble.

I have also sent this article to lots of friends. I think it can be a turning point. Even most people who identify themselves as a Republicans or a conservatives probably don´t want to base government policy on fantasy, wishful thinking, or blind "faith".

The Suskind article will enable many, many conservatives and Republicans to justify defecting from the Bush camp.
