Every time Obama and the mainstream media waxes eloquent about his opponents being “ideologically driven,” I want to wretch.
” ‘A bit much?’ said the desert to the grain of sand,” is always my first thought. They are ideologically driven allright. They just don’t like the ideology of the folks they accuse of being “ideologically driven.” It’s a convenient way of dismissing opponents without engaging the ideas.
There’s lots of that going around these days…just lob a character attack, dust your hands off and call it a day.
Charles over at P.O.S has a great post on just that subject today. Go check it out.
