But these right wing pundits have decided they will not do that. Just personally attack folk who have different views.

And, as a result, serious debate about serious issues is badly damaged.


Round up the usual suspects: Charles Krautheimer, Bill O'Reilly, Laura Ingram, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, the Beltway Boys, on and on...

This is what Paul Krugman had to say in this morning's NY Times:

Unlike the crazy conspiracy theories of the left — which do exist, but are supported only by a tiny fringe — the crazy conspiracy theories of the right are supported by important people: powerful politicians, television personalities with large audiences. And we can safely predict that these people will never concede that they were wrong. When the Iraq venture comes to a bad end, they won't blame those who led us into the quagmire; they'll claim that it was all the fault of the liberal media, which stabbed our troops in the back.
