Conservative Confusion over Obama and 'Social Darwinism'

Apr 6 2012, 2:27 PM ET

Jennifer Rubin, blogging at the Washington Post, has this to say about President Obama's use of the term "thinly veiled social Darwinism" to describe Paul Ryan's budget: "Let's be clear about two things. The supposedly erudite Obama labeled Ryan a race supremacist..."

Let's be clear about one thing: Jennifer Rubin doesn't have the slightest idea what she's talking about.

Those are her only two choices. It is up to her to decide which one she is.
