With the conservatives losing as badly as they are it always amazes me when you get some high level staffer vividly demonstrating Hannity/Limbaugh overdose syndrome. In this case the chief of staff of a house member goes off on an activist calling him un-American and finally not an American because he dissents on the Iraq war.
What I find so amusing about this is how short-sighted it is. Conservatives are going to lose big time in 2008. They will lose the White House. They will suffer further losses in the House and Senate. And overnight you will see a change, dissent will go from un-American to deeply patriotic overnight. Just as it did with Clinton. It was ok to criticize the war in Bosnia, because it was Clinton's war. It's not ok to criticize Bush's inept handling of the Iraq war because it's Bush's war. Conservatives will make this flip without the slightest sense of irony or self-reflection. Which is tragic.
What I find really sad is that the elite in the Republican party are willing to sacrifice thousands of American soldiers just to hand the Iraq turd over to a Democrat before they start to dissent from the war strategy. On January 11th, 2009 conservatives are going to run from Iraq like cut cats. It's really, really sad.
