| In 2003, Al Franken wrote LIES And the Lying Liars Who Tell Them.
In my copy, in the chapter titled "Who Created the Tone?" Al wrote:
"(T)urning the public arena into a wasteland of personal destruction takes an entire army of like-minded ideologues hell-bent on shredding the already tattered standards of decency that once permitted a reasonable discourse on matters of import.
The left, sadly, has no such army. Our attack dogs are a scrawny, underfed pack of mutts that spend half the time chasing their own tails and sniffing each other's butt. The right, by contrast, appears to have a well-oiled puppy mill for pit bulls, bred to kill and trained to go for the jugular. Or the balls." (from LIES And the Lying Liars Who Tell Them)
Al wrote that in 2003. Who can tell me what - if anything - has changed in the last 7 years? |
