Last week, as Ramesh noted, Michael Tomasky argued that liberals must succeed in their health-care schemes because a liberal defeat would “constitute a historic victory for the birthers and the gun-toters and the Hitler analogists.” It was an interesting claim, since not long ago Tomasky declared that what the world needs is a lot more Nazi analogizing. That in itself was an odd argument from the guy who nearly had a seizure trying to understand my book. I missed the post at the time, alas. And I don’t have the time to give it the attention it deserves. But my friends at the Ancient and Noble Order of Gormogons do.

Meanwhile, William Voegeli has a great post on Tomasky’s ever evolving rules of discourse.
