…of The Nation:
It’s possible that not all of the magazine’s archives are online, or that the search engine didn’t pick up every example. But hey, I at least made the effort, which is more than we can say for vanden Heuvel. Even if I missed a few, I think my point is made: Libertarians have been out in front on this issue from the start. And contra vanden Heuvel and Ames/Levine, not only was libertarian criticism not muted when a Republican occupied the White House, during that time libertarian journalists, wonks, and pundits did a damned sight better job covering TSA abuses, inefficacy, and theatrics than the The Nation.
The mindless criticism of the Koch brothers by those funded by George Soros is also simultaneously amusing and infuriating.
I… apologize… The attack upon your vessel was not authorized by my government.
Hurray for insincere apologies.
“The mindless criticism of the Koch brothers by those funded by George Soros is also simultaneously amusing and infuriating.”
Not exactly mindless. The Koch brothers support liberty, and Darth Soros supports statism. There is a mind at work here, but it’s a warped Hive mind.
It’s The Nation‘s Nina Burleigh moment.
