Check this headline from The New Republic. No pretense of anything except smearing an opposition candidate's image in the effort to win. I keep attempting to find the level-headed decent Liberal op-ed column, and I've enjoyed a number, but these keep popping up. They unfortunately seem more typical than atypical.
I was watching video clips of William F. Buckley debating Noam Chomsky from way back and, while I tend to disagree with Chomsky, I could admire two intelligent people having a civil discussion of ideas and actually debating a point. It stands in marked contrast to what passes for that sort of thing today.
