Read Cohen's column in today's Washington Post on Kucinich. He's right. Politics has become an ideological hate fest between fools on the left and the right who have no regard for the truth. Moreover, Middle-Eastern and Euro-leftist anti-Semitism as an explanation for American policy are already insidiously leaking like sewage into American war protest movements and office water cooler conversations- something I never thought I'd see in my lifetime.
     In 2004, the Democrats will almost certainly nominate another McGovernesque fool of a candidate, and moderate Democrats and swing voters, repelled by the hate-America crowd, will split between sitting out the election or voting for Bush.
