But why does he think that the only option is to cave? This reminds me of Trotsky's comment regarding terrorists having no faith in the masses, it appears that apologizers haven't any as well. Doesn't he feel that he can assert the importance of trying to "think clearly, and not blame always blame those who disagree with us," and how his opponents are "taking the value of loyalty and turning into a blank check on America's future," blah blah blah?? Or is it that potentially critical Dems feel so outgunned in the media that they don't think they can get their point across, they'll just get O'Reillyed? My first reaction is to rail at their gutlessness, but is it based on a thoroughly pessimistic analysis of who controls political dialogue/symbolization processes?
