In a first-rate piece in Time mag, respected, first-rate political reporter Joe Klein (“Primary Colors”) rips the GOP’s scare tactics and outrageous lies on health care. An excerpt:
“Given the heinous dust that’s been raised, it seems likely that end-of-life counseling will be dropped from the health-reform legislation. But that’s a small point, compared with the larger issue that has clouded this summer: How can you sustain a democracy if one of the two major political parties has been overrun by nihilists? And another question: How can you maintain the illusion of journalistic impartiality when one of the political parties has jumped the shark?”
