[political-research] Bloglines - Revisionist Writers

Bloglines user SeanMcBride (smcbride2@yahoo.com) has sent this item to you, with the following personal message:

Richard Cohen of the Washington Post: a quintessential "liberal" warmonger when it comes to using American military power to attack the enemies of Israel. In other words, he is a neoliberal, which is just a minor variation on a neoconservative. The presence of so many neoliberals in the Democratic Party have made it impossible for the Democrats to mount an effective opposition to the Bush administration and the Iraq War.

To make matters much worse, supposedly independent-minded alternative media outlets like the Huffington Post and Democratic Underground are too timid to speak out about what is really going on. They spin their wheels endlessly, whining ineffectually about their inability to have the slightest impact on foreign policy, while not daring to confront directly the lobby which has created and enforced this policy.

That’s all well and good, but where was Cohen a little more than three years ago, when this fact was as plain as the smirk on the president’s face, and the columnist agitated for war anyway? If there was an “I’m sorry for being so stupid” embedded in Cohen’s column I didn’t spot it. To bad Mr. Cohen is not holding himself accountable. Read the whole thing. E & P
