It’s funny to hear folks advocating for the party that uses devisiveness and hatemongering as thier usual MO fling accusations of devisiveness and hatemongering. I think it’s a classic case of projection. Odder still, is when that party (or in this case, conservative newspaper) is defending someone from the other party:
Lieberman race pits moderation versus hatred-politics
This is no exaggeration: The soul of the Democratic Party - and possibly the future of civility in American politics - is on the line in the Aug. 8 Senate primary in Connecticut. Sen. Joe Lieberman, Conn., one of the last “liberal hawks” in the Democratic Party and a leader in efforts to find bipartisan solutions to America’s problems, is being targeted for defeat by an emergent new left that’s using savage, Internet-based attacks to push moderation out of politics.

Lieberman is a moderate like Neville Chamberlain was a peacemaker.
But then, what kind of editorial do you expect from a paper with stories like this one their front page?:
Governor Rounds calls on South Dakota to pray for rain
“whereas many of our rural communities are heavily dependent upon agriculture to sustain their markets and local communities, and many South Dakotans could face wildfire danger if moisture conditions do not improve in the next few weeks, it is appropriate to urge all citizens to join together to pray for rain in our great state of South Dakota.”
Look as long as you like, but there’s no Bat-Boy stories, Dottie or Ed Anger columns.
