by the degraded standards of Washington, D.C., politics PK is a "leftist"
or
"left of [a very right-wing] center." After getting rid of true left voices
in public life -- e.g., making it "normal" to treat Chomsky as a paraiah --
the right-wingers would want to get rid of even the ersatz left.

Of course, this kind of "war against the left" is what left much of the
world outside the U.S. with only Osama bin Laden and his dreadful ilk as
the
opposition to the power of neoliberal globalizing capitalism.

Thanks. Pass me the Prozac, please.
