“How Hatred Became a Liberal Value”:  remember when left-liberals insisted on civility. I remember when they condemned the tactics of intimidation championed by the New Left. I remember when progressives insisted on impartiality on the part of judges, civil servants, policemen, and those who purported to be reporting the news (as opposed to espousing opinion). There were always exceptions to the rule. Dan Rather was playing tricks as early as

Betsy Woodruff, NRO: In 2004, the senator made $700,000 off a land deal that was, to say the least, unorthodox.
