I'm uncertain about whether the following is unworthy of me, but I find it irresistible: Max Boot, in the Washington Post -- "Like postwar Germany and Japan, the Republican Party must be destroyed before it can be rebuilt." My position was not about "destroying" anyone, but about a stance progressives should take in negotiating over culture war issues.We'll see if Boot's op ed attracts the same response as my "take a hard line in negotiating" post did. (Probably not, because it won't generate the anti-semitic and "he's senile" reactions.)
