“1984 may have come a bit later than predicted, but it’s here at last. … Some day, soon, we may wake up and find we’re living in Oceania.” Chief Judge Kozinski (Reagan appointee), dissenting against this horrendous decision.
“I don’t think you want me to waste my time to read every page of the health care bill. You know why? It’s statutory language. We hire experts.” Senator Max Baucus, Democrat, Montana, August 24, 2010

Tainting the tea party movement with the charge of racism is proving to be an effective strategy for Democrats. There is no evidence that tea party adherents are any more racist than other Republicans, and indeed many other Americans. But getting them to spend their time purging their ranks and having candidates distance themselves should help Democrats win in November. Having one’s opponent rebut charges of racism is far better than discussing joblessness.
