Cheney Crossed The Line

Unlike CNN's Chuck Roberts some in the media are showing they aren't being bamboozled by the right-wing chattering class including V.P. Darth Cheney. Dan Froomkin in his White House Briefing column today brings it into true perspective, giving us not only his thoughts on Cheney's scumbag talking points, but also those of other reporters. By insinuating that the sizeable majority of American voters who oppose the war in Iraq are aiding and abetting the enemy, Vice President Cheney on Wednesday may have crossed the line that separates legitimate political discourse from hysteria. [snip] In making the case that Lieberman's defeat was actually an enormous boost for Republicans, the customarily furtive vice president let loose not with compelling argument, but unsupported invective. It's nice to see for a change that there are at least a few reporters that have a sense of decency.
