Negative Campaigning

James Joyner | Sunday, March 7, 2004

Matthew Yglesias on the Democrats’ distortion of the Bush 9/11 ads:

There’s always something a bit discomfiting to me when I see a Democrat pull a really sharp campaign move — think of Max Baucus and the barber school ad, Mary Landrieux and the “secret plan” to destroy American sugar, Chuck Schumer and the putzhead controvery. It’s like . . . I thought we were the good guys here. And yet, winning always feels good.

Welcome to reality Matthew.

Your party is run by a bunch of congenital liars.

But considering you are on record as saying it is not important getting quotes of your political enemies accurate, I really think you are now being a freaking hypocrite.

Welcome to the party.
