MSNBC’s Suzy Khimm reports on a panel yesterday at the Heritage Foundation entitled “Where Is Liberalism Going?” that featured a few conservative writers and thinkers (among them NR’s Kevin Williamson, you can watch the panel here). Khimm oddly leads off her story, about a panel on the future of liberalism, by asking, “What do conservatives think of liberals today?”
She summarizes:
A curious portrait of modern-day liberalism emerged. Liberalism meant Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Gawker (for wanting to punish climate change deniers), Senate Democrats (for wanting to undo Citizens United), writer Matt Yglesias (for wanting to eliminate summer vacations), the term “mansplaining” (for being a symptom of P.C. extremism), and Rolling Stone magazine (for giving voice to far-left writers in “the most frivolous consumer product in the history of frivolous consumer products,” per Williamson).
Right, because what kind of a nut takes a Kennedy, a liberal website, a liberal pundit, a liberal magazine, and Senate Democrats as representative of liberalism?
