E.J. Dionne Jr.
In today's WashPost columnist/scholar argues that liberalism has strayed from its roots. See below.

E.J quotes the late Christopher Lasch saying that liberals did not just argue with their opponents but "simply dismissed them on psychiatric grounds."
Yes indeed. In 1964, 100 psychiatrists --- who had never met him --- said Barry Goldwater was looney tunes --- in a full-page advertisement. Made you wonder: "Who was was loonier --- the shrinks or Barry? My vote: The shrinks.
Some of the current crop of liberal bloggers are nasty, conniving, purposeful liars. For shame.
(Those on the right play at it also, but not as much in my opinion.)

For example? Do you have an example -- just one will do -- of a 'liberal blogger' and a 'lie'? Or are you into unsubstantiated, near blanket smears -- sort of your thing?
How about so-called 'conservatives'? Have they strayed from their roots as well? For example, by attacking Iraq, a far-away country that posed no threat.
