The political purge that’s going on in the Justice Department is one data point, but I’ve also run across two mentions of Republicans-as-Soviets in the news just today:
- The Fish and Wildlife Service has forbidden its staff from speaking publicly on climate change. Says a former Interior Department official: "This sure sounds like a Soviet-style directive to me."
- The CIA is holding up the publication of Valerie Plame Wilson’s book.
Wilson’s husband: "We just might have to sue them, and they will be reminded this is not the Soviet Union."
This is name-calling, sure, but it sure seems like it could have some legs in the election year, and the fact that liberals are able to get away with this kind of rhetoric for the first time since the Truman administration is delicious. The gang of faux conservatives running the show today definitely need some sand thrown in their eyes.
