IRAQ HAS CAUSED CONSERVATIVE SPOKESMEN TO FORGET THEIR DUTY TO PROTECT LIBERALS | 2003-12-27

Conservative spokesmen have not been doing their jobs as respectable conservatives. Liberals are getting hurt. Liberals are getting laughed at. The anti-liberals who have memories and talk about treason and the pattern of leftist policy failures are gaining popularity, and no conservative spokesman has stepped forth to denounce them.

Liberals have been screaming their usual orders to conservatives, in the form of outrage and insults and cries of "Racism," to kick the anti-liberal opposition back into line. Historically whoever they screamed at on the right was instantly lynched by the respectable right.
