I see a pattern developing. When Michelle Goldberg was writing about the antiwar movement, she was all about how the leftie-leftists were a bigger threat than the warmongers. Now she's telling us that the liberals are going to alienate more people by criticizing Joe Lieberman than Lieberman will by sucking up to Bush.
Little things like that could make me suspect that Michelle Goldberg thinks "leftist" is a synonym for "bogeyman".
