David Broder: Candidates Lacking A Real-World Clue

But the dynamic on both sides is trending toward extreme positions that would open the door to an independent or third-party challenge in 2008 aimed at the millions of voters in the center.

The danger may be greatest for the Democrats, even though President Bush's failings have put them in a favored position to win the next election. Prodded by four long shots for the nomination and threatened by the rhetoric of former senator John Edwards, a serious contender, the two front-runners, Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama, have abandoned their cautious advocacy of a phased withdrawal of U.S. forces and now are defending votes to cut off support for troops fighting insurgents in Iraq.

Oh Jeebus H. Garfield!

There are so many errors in those two paragraphs where do you start?

Naturally, the biggest danger for all politicians is us goddamned dirty hippies.

When the fuck have us so-called hippies been wrong? Seriously?

-- Were we wrong about Vietnam (against first Johnson then Nixon)?
-- Were we wrong about civil rights?
-- Were we wrong about Iraq?
-- Were we wrong about Afghanistan when we were the only ones harping on about the Taliban?

The whole goddamned history of the 20th Century has been progressives being stymied by idiots on the right and trying to mitigate their goddamned mistakes. All conservatives ever come up with is bogeymen and lower-taxes. Congrats.

Thanks for being so enabling there Broder.
