Comments From The Right: I just checked Volokh Conspiracy [good website to get a conservative/libertarian view of legal matters and some public affairs], and saw a couple partisan pieces by libertarian Randy Barnett. The second deals with conservative backlash to big government President Bush. It quotes three strands of thought, two reminding people the importance of beating Kerry, one because hey the likes of the leadership of Iran and Syria would just LOVE if he wins. We get a list chock full of the horribles a President Kerry will bring.

The other piece was worse since it had more personal commentary, mostly Dean bashing, and talking about how horrible the 60s were. He quotes (clearly supportingly) how cynical and selfish the people represented by Dean truly were. And, ends about how back then "there was only one voice heard" unlike today in which "thanks to talk radio, the internet, and now FoxNews, there is a genuine contest." Oh please -- one voice? One wonders how President Nixon was elected given the uniformity of public thought in the era. I thought Professor Barnett, who I met once and who has some interesting libertarian views, was above this type of crap.
