Jamie Kirchick, Hypocrite by JD
(libertarian)
Tuesday, January 15, 2008
Jamie Kirchick, the new fluffer at The New Republic, recently attempted to smear an honorable man in her vicious attack on Ron Paul on the day of the New Hampshire primaries. It may have hurt Dr. Paul in those circles where the opinions of fussy college graduates matter (like TNR), but what it reveals is the true hypocrisy of the environment in which Miss Kirchick resides.
Miss Kirchick authored a piece (in which she defended the notorious Daniel Pipes) in 2003 in which she stated:
"Passion for one's ideas is well and good, but shouting others down with irrational cries of "racist" and "McCarthyite" is hardly liberal at all."

It would seem that Miss Kirchick, unlike Dr. Paul, is willing to go against her own principles to shout down someone she disagrees with.
