How low can they go?
<p>Here&#8217;s another one for the file marked &#8220;Bush&#8217;s opponents are so<br />
deranged that they are good reasons to support him&#8221;.  At The Corner,<br />
via InstaPundit, Tim Graham has <a href='http://corner.nationalreview.com/06_01_29_corner-archive.asp#089046'>this<br />
report:</a></p>
<blockquote><p>
Driving in, I had to sample some &#8220;progressive talk&#8221; on the SOTU [State of the<br />
Union address]. At the Stephanie Miller Show, they were laughing about (and<br />
playing an audio montage of) how many times Bush used the &#8220;F-Bomb&#8221; last night.<br />
That&#8217;s their strange description of the word &#8220;freedom.&#8221; They also mocked the<br />
mentions of &#8220;liberty.&#8221;
</p></blockquote>
<p>This is a symptom of how degraded the soi-disant &#8220;progressive&#8221; wing of<br />
American political culture has become.  I don&#8217;t like George Bush much, but<br />
as long as his opponents behave like this they make him look like the least<br />
nasty choice.</p>
<p>But maybe I&#8217;m wrong.  Maybe &#8220;respectable&#8221; liberals and the Democratic<br />
leadership will actually come out against treating the words &#8220;freedom&#8221; and<br />
&#8220;liberty&#8221; as obscenities or jokes.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m waiting&#8230;</p>
<p>(&#8230;the sound of crickets chirping&#8230;)</p>
