Либеральный журналист Mak Halpein, главный редактор Time, подвел черту под историей с попыткой левых обвинить правых в аризонской стрельбе.

“I just want to single out one thing. I think the media and the politicians have behaved pretty well so far. I’m worried about the anger of the right-wing commentariat,” Halperin said. “Fox and George Will and other conservatives are in some cases justifiably upset at liberals, but they’re turning this back into the standard operating procedure of ‘all this is war and fodder for content’ rather than trying to bring the country together.”

“Wait a second,” Scarborough responded. “I think they would say that you have that backwards, that a shooting was turned into fodder to attack conservatives.”

Halperin: “And, I already made that criticism, as well. They’re right, but rather than seizing on it and turning the other cheek, they’re back at their war stations. that’s not going to help us.”

Понятно? Ну да, левые, конечно, правых слегка оклеветали чуть-чуть, но мирному процессу мешает не это, а то, что правые осмеливаются реагировать на клевету, а не подставляют другую щеку. Были бы правые потерпеливее, не возражали бы, когда на них клевещут – вот это бы помогло. Пресса-то вела себя прилично! А пока правые сопротивляются, не видать нам цивилизованной политики, увы.

Само совершенство, черт возьми.

Вообще эта история весьма показательна. На поверхность в полемическом угаре всплывают всякие вещи, которые обычно стараются вслух не говорить.
