#1 The far right does not have a monopoly on bigotry and hatred and sanctimony.

It took The Church [tm] a couple hundred years to acknowledge that Galileo was in fact correct. It's taken this writer only forty years to figure out what the rest of the Rant community has known for as long. Hey Mr. Davis ever read George Orwell? Four legs good, two legs better.

#2 (2) Davis (to his credit) is sufficiently bothered by this that he actually breaks the "no enemies on the Left" rule to speak up about it

I'm not sure this should be given to his credit. His boy is losing. This would still be true if Lieberman were winning, but Davis wouldn't be saying any of it.

Only to strike a "these guys are acting like rightwingers" pose while doing so.

#4 "I held on to the view that the left was inherently more tolerant and less hateful than the right."

Mr. Davis, seeing how youve long refused to believe enlightened individuals that just happen to be minorities such as Shelby Steele or Thomas Sowell you might have tried asking your Poverty Pimp and Race Baiter pals behind closed doors if they had ever experienced any intolerance from the Liberal elite. If you had, you may have not been so reluctant to come to your most recent conclusion.

#5 The Demmys and the MSM have been sowing the wind for 30 year now. Its coming time for them to reap the whirlwind.

#6 sure, I remember Lanny condemning - "a vote for Bush is like more black churches burning" and James Byrd's daughter in the NAACP ad saying "a vote for Bush would be like dragging her father behind a truck again"....

lying sack of shit has just begun to realize what his 24/7 Clinton campaign cohorts has done to American politics. He decides to come clean, yet still tries to invoke moral equivalence. Motion Denied, counselor

#8 Sometimes, your on a horse heading for Damascus and God pops you out of the saddle with a lightening bolt and you join the good guys right then and there and start a new career writing epistles.

Most conversions are just not that spectacular. Optimist that I am, I'd like to think that this is Lanny Davis' first halting, uncertain step away from the dark side.

#9 I'd like to think that this is Lanny Davis' first halting, uncertain step away from the dark side.

Cynic that I am, I expect he's just being his sleazy self getting into a win-win position for the post election punditry.

#10 Liberals always seem so amazed when this either hits them in the face or they finally figure it out. Cracks me up...

#12 Clinton hate machine?

er no. Clinton was the victim of hate politics on the right. He was also hated by the more savvy folks on the left (ie Howell Raines, Lewis Lapham, the Nation, etc) That the sillier folks on the left (Im talking about you, Salon) were fooled into supporting him cause the right hated him is neither here nor there. The savvier folks on the center (like Dick Morris) fully understood this. They hit back when they were hit, and got vicious when they were slimed.

Why should centrists always play nice, and lose. Lieberman, maybe, should have hit back harder.

You know damn well that when Kos and pals try this stuff on Hillary, theyll live to regret it.

As long as they stay out of remote parks and check their cars for brake problems, they should be okay.

#22 Not as much as this from Rodger's blog:

"...When he started investigating President Clinton 's Whitewater dealings, Jim Leach knew he wouId be playing hardball. But the Iowa Republican never expected to see Jack Palladino lurking around his house. But there Palladino was, scoping out Leach's Northwest Washington premises one evening as the congressman arrived home in 1994.

Palladino, a San Francisco private detective who had been paid more than $100,000 by the Clinton campaign in 1992 to deal with what Clinton intimate Betsey Wright called "bimbo eruptions," quickly scurried away, and Leach never went public with what he saw. But the House Banking Committee chairman privately told colleagues the intended message was clear: You mess with us, we'll mess with you. William Clinger got the same treatment.

When the now-retired Pennsylvania Republican congressman was probing Commerce secretary Ron Brown's business dealings in 1995, a New Jersey detective named Louis Stephens suddenly started snooping around.

Stephens had been hired by Brown's ex-business partner and mistress Nolanda Hill to button up Clinger's sources. About the same time, a member of Clinger's staff got a call from a reporter working on a Clinger profile. She'd been tipped by a supposedly solid source that Clinger was a wife-abuser who'd once viciously pushed his spouse down a flight of stairs in a rage..... "Can I prove it was the White House behind the story? No," concedes a well-informed source. "Do I think it was them? Absolutely. They do have a pattern of getting into your past." ....

The president's impressive people skills and abundant personal charm mask a streak of political cold- bloodedness and score-settling worthy of a Mario Puzo novel. That's particularly true in the way he and his lieutenants deal with anyone-critic or innocent victim alike-who poses a potential menace to the massive effort to keep the lid on the various scandals dogging Clinton, Mrs. Clinton, and his administration...."
