“One reads that Sen. Chuck Schumer called the head of the Family Research Council “un-American.” Ho-hum. That will hardly even raise a journalistic eyebrow. Remember when Howard Dean declared, “John Ashcroft is not a patriot”? Remember when John Kerry said he would “appoint a U.S. trade representative who is an American patriot” (meaning that Bob Zoellick wasn’t)? But nothing ever happens to these Democratic McCarthyites. You will never hear a peep of protest from the media establishment. A right-winger asserts himself this way, and, oh, boy: The Tailgunner has arrived, firing.” — Jay Nordlinger
