Climate of Fear Part 16
Anti-Bush vandals damaged a memorial for medal of honor winners. Steve Jefferson of WTHR Indianapolis reports,
Investigators believe the suspects hit the canal walls with spray paint late Monday night or early Tuesday morning. They sprayed names, symbols and even profanities against President Bush at the congressional medal of honor memorial. What's worse is the damage to the two glass memorial panels which will cost thousands of dollars to repair.
Meanwhile Paul Krugman writes,
America isn't yet a place where liberal politicians, and even conservatives who aren't sufficiently hard-line, fear assassination. But unless moderates take a stand against the growing power of domestic extremists, it can happen here.
Krugman is talking about possible political assassinations by Christian extremists. No word yet if Krugman is afraid of the liberal extremists assassinating Republicans, even though there have been many non-lethal violent attacks against Republicans over the past few months. Unless moderates take a stand against the growing power of domestic extremists, it can happen here.
