Meme war!
Conformist thinking of the left side

Glenn Reynolds:

But maybe the emails I get from Oliver Willis, accusing me of thinking that everyone to the left of Joe Lieberman is a traitor, reflect a broader view rather than, as I assumed, just Oliver.

Gee, ya think? That's what a commenter - not Willis - said about me in response to this post.

What, do these guys email each other with the latest rapier wit and repartee? "Hey, here's a good one! Let's say that Reynolds and Sensing and all those guys think that anyone who's left of Joe Lieberman is a traitor/anti-American/far Leftist whacko, and so on! It's a killer, really!"

So, here's a rejoinder: "You think that anyone to the right of John McCain is a religious nut/imperialist pig/warmonger/stooge of Karl Rove, and so on."

It's a meme war, folks! Pile it on!

"Left of Lieberman!"

"Right of McCain!"

Nyah, nyah, nyah!

Endnote: I wonder whether the "left of Joe Lieberman" accusation really reveals the accusers' opinion that Lieberman is not liberal enough for their tastes.
