Obsessed
The Washington Post’s Dana Milbank has written a column (10/2/10) entitled: Glenn Beck is obsessed with Hitler and Woodrow Wilson. (I'm just saying.) Among the great insights that Milbank offers is this: “For much of the past 70 years, there has been an unwritten rule in U.S. political debate: Avoid Hitler accusations. Once you liken your opponent to the Nazis, any form of rational discussion becomes impossible.” Of course, Milbank goes on to mention that he objected when the Left made similar scurrilous accusations against George Bush and Dick Cheney. Just kidding! He says nothing about that. Then we learn that Milbank has even written a book about Glenn Beck.
Well now, who is obsessed about whom?
By the way, the title of Milbank’s book includes a slur…so we guess that some kinds of name calling are OK with him.
Principles
The Principal Financial Group announced on Thursday that it planned to stop selling health insurance, another sign of upheaval emerging among insurers as the new federal health law starts to take effect. (NYT, 9/30/10)
Obama and the Dems will secretly celebrate this. Let’s see, if health insurers stop selling health insurance then the federal government can be the nation’s health insurer!
