Drum slaps the ho

Kevin Drum has become much more politicized ever since he moved to washingtonmonthly.com, and I like it:

It's a good sign of a bankrupt argument and a bankrupt movement when even a disagreement over payscales in a retail store descends into rote accusations of anti-Americanism. Unfortunately, this has become so commonplace that it's no longer fair to call this kind of demagoguery McCarthyism. That's unfair to McCarthyites.

Welcome to the modern face of American conservatism.
