On Face the Nation this morning, Howard Dean said the Tea Party has some racist fringe elements, but many of them are people who want the people to have more power and influence in the country like supporters of me did when I ran for president. Liz Cheney’s response, basically, “Howard, you’re wrong for portraying the tea party as an extreme right group.”
What? Seriously, and Bob Schieffer didn’t even call her on it. Then, Lindsey Graham characterized the cap and trade bill he supported as so extreme that Democrats are shooting holes in it. Now, the Democratic Senate candidate in West Virginia may have done so, but don’t you think honesty might have required Lindsey to mention that he supported the bill that he is now characterizing as part of a liberal fringe?
