"Anyone who criticizes him when he messes up"

Its the criticizing him when he HASN'T messed up that bothers me. And that is what it all is. Check out democrat Ed Kochs comments on this. Spot on.

Exactly. A lot of cornered GOP'ers still try to sneak in the "criticism = treason", the formula for fascism under Mousellini and Hitler.

It's not so surprising, when you consider that's the message being put out by the neocon think tanks and even gov't officials like Rumsfeld, Cheney et al. Combine that with the lockstep GOP methods of politics, and we're not far from a 21st version.

I got my copy used, but it appears to be back in print ! BG had a hard time getting it published, then difficulty getting it stocked in stores. It was even removed from libraries, for some reason. It's good to see the renewed interest.
