Two Additional Thoughts on C. Powell and Against Smearing the Right

By Quin Hillyer on 1.14.13 @ 12:09PM

At CFIF, I further outline Colin Powell’s falsehoods and praise a thoughtful approach (and defense of Tea Partiers) by Artur Davis. Davis wasn’t specifically describing Powell, but could have been, when he wrote that “The shortest distance in modern politics is the one between a Republican willing to denounce his party for extremism and the set of a cable or Sunday morning talk show.”

Good stuff.
