This ignorant article is aimed at the anti-intellectuals of the right, who really want their stereotypes of leftists to be confirmed. I say that this is a good thing, because by deliberately not understanding us, it gives us the power to confound and beat them.
--yeah, no kidding. Mr. Totten, whom the article Pugliese cites cites, actually said on Cooper's blog that he thinks of Reason as a "centrist" magazine and found the idea of private health care accounts as a refreshing alternative... Mr. Totten it turns out is a victim of the exact kind of ideology that Doug was critical of in certain [albeit certainly not all] activists, namley an infantile affection for small business as the solution to corporate domination. Oh, but hey, how can we leftists not listen seriously to the criticisms of a Cooper or Totten? So carefully thought out and dedicated to helping the left move forward? It just goes to show how totalitarian you are Chuck!!
