| 78. Well, those of you here to bash Will |
|
have managed to convince me. There appears to be some sort of bizarre aversion to freedom of expression when its William Rivers Pitt doing the expressing.
I think it's an allergic reaction to the sigfht of his name because I notice too that the people usually posting things like this-
Pitt writes: "The moderates and the centrists are going to have to come on board after the nomination if Dean is to win this thing, and such talk will make it hard for them to do so with the necessary enthusiasm. "
huh!?? This implies that Dean is some sort of lefty who has alienated the "moderates and the centrists."
Tend to overlook other pertinent points from his articles, like this-
"He is not as liberal as I am – and yes, conservative media pundits, calling Dean a far-left liberal is far from an accurate portrayal of the man’s record – and as this is primary season, I was afforded the opportunity to choose among a broad field of contenders."
From the very first paragraph. Read the whole thing maybe?
