I assume by "liberal" you mean those who favor small "d" democratic control of government; protections for workers and consumers in the market; reducing the profits from rent seeking to the most minimal level necessary to maximize the benefits derived from that distortion going to the general population, the use of fiscal policy to provide assistance to those who otherwise would live in poverty and to prevent the excessive accumulation of wealth in private hands from being transferred intergenerational-ly; guaranteeing access for all citizens to healthcare and education services at whatever level a general consensus deems minimally necessary, equal justice for all before the law; fair, not free, trade policies; a living wage for all workers; full employment; public research and infrastructure projects with the benefits to accrue to the general population, and protection against all forms of crime at home and any who credibly threaten from abroad.CMikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13481861530761114492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-41077403327925709082015-08-02T15:40:57.395-04:002015-08-02T15:40:57.395-04:00@12:38 -- Don't be obtuse.

It is considered goofing off. Implying that Trump went on a golf playing junket instead of on business is a mild smear. Your suggestion that the words are technically accurate ignores the political game that is played with phrasing and word choice (and in this case, omission of details). <br /><br />Most people who run for president are currently holding some political office. Trump is in business. Taking time to attend to his business is the equivalent of someone like Ted Cruz returning to congress to vote, or Walker doing his job as Governor while also campaigning. No one quits in order to run for president, nor are they expected to. So this is a cheap shot at Trump.<br /><br />If you think all Republicans are evil and any cheap shot taken by liberals at conservatives are fair game, then Maddow's actions won't bother you. Somerby is suggesting that we should have some standards are such things and not descend to the level of our worst opponents. Why? Because it puts off voters and can create sympathy for those unfairly attacked, and it makes us look silly and desperate and lacking in character.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-52781923790957321932015-08-02T13:54:00.805-04:002015-08-02T13:54:00.805-04:00No, I didn't use the word "hate".
