Cruelty incarnate

R. Emmett Tyrell Jr. examines the cruel techniques the Radical Right uses on hapless Democrats and Liberals.

Allow me to point out that "the right" not only indulges in jarring invective but also has adopted very disturbing polemical techniques. For several years, its writers have engaged in discrediting their opponents by quoting them. Yes, they simply hurl back into a person's face things the person has said, without any regard as to how this cruel quoting coarsens our society.

Any day now, we may see victims of this tactic filing suit for...

"Definition of character."
