Re: In defence of Krugman and against Alexander Cockburn: choice oftargets

Why is it that we generate so much more interest discussing personalities
rather than ideas?  Why when a person takes a contrary postion, do we --
not just on this list --  find a need to denounce the person in general.

I just heard Studs Turkel -- tape delay -- interviewd on KPFA discussing
Dan Burton, who usually seems pretty bad.  Kucinich told him to interview
Burton, and he found some surprisingly good features in his take on life.
