Do you read Frum's article and Buchannan's? I thought Frum made a compelling case for the 'hating this country' statement and it goes far deeper than the Iraq War. I am terrified of those people, I think they would ruin the whole damn show if given a chance and I think another terror attack they might get that chance. I have absolutely no problem with serious, heavy, hard hitting arguments in which one side takes on the other. My objection is the "hating the country" line. I don't consider that a form of argument, nor even an assessment of the position. Rather it's purely and simply ideological hysteria meant to defame someone else. In this climate, however and hopefully, it's a strategy that, most likely, backfires. I do think you may be onto something when you note that the level of ferocity in these attacks, the fact they are clearly sponsored by prominent neocon circles, suggest the neocons have launched a deadly campaign against their compatriots. I doubt the Bush folk can be happy about this. I would expect Rove is on the telephone on this one.
