2006-08-25 Home Front: Politix

NEW YORK An interview in this Sunday's New York Times Magazine with C.C. Goldwater reveals that her HBO film to be aired Sept. 18 paints her late grandfather, Sen. Barry Goldwater, "as a kind of liberal," with testimonials from Al Franken, Sen. Ted Kennedy, James Carville and Sen. Hillary Clinton.

This is, to remind the young'uns, the same Barry Goldwater who called for bombing the North Vietnamese back to the stone age.

In fact, Hillary campaigned for Goldwater in 1964 in his race for president against Lyndon Johnson. "Hillary was a Goldwater girl," says the filmmaker, interviewed by Deborah Solomon. "She passed out cookies and lemonade at his campaign functions."

#1 If Barry was a liberal, what are the Dummocrats ? Commies ? If his thoughts truly represented liberalist doctrine, I believe I could sit down and converse. It's true that Hildebeast started out as conservative. Her whole family was. What turned her ?

#3 Actually, when Goldwater became really Oldwater, perhaps dementia, he did become more liberal.

What does that say about the donks?
