George Will on the “American

George Will on the “American collaborators,” McDermott and Bonior. The collaborators’ statements are shocking not only for their poisonous malice, but for their sheer ignorance of recent (post-1990) history. Has a single Democrat disavowed or criticized McDermott and Bonior? Not that I know of. This illustrates a pervasive tactic on the Left: “extremist” Democrats (McKinney, Bonior, etc.) make unfounded, slanderous charges against the Administration, which receive vast publicity in liberal (i.e., all) newspapers; “mainstream” Democrats don’t repeat the charges, but don’t disavow them either, thereby hoping to benefit quietly from them.
