From the John Judis piece yesterday:
These difficulties were clear before Obama spoke in San Francisco, but they're much more glaring now. In the speech, Obama appeared to say that Pennsylvania voters' opposition to gun control or abortion or immigration or free trade was pathological--a product of what Marxist philosopher Herbert Marcuse once called "false consciousness." On the other hand, he implied that when he voiced opposition to an issue like free trade--Obama has consistently hammered Clinton on her support for the North American Free Trade Agreement--he was simply pandering to these voters' displaced anxieties. He was saying to these upscale San Francisco Democrats, "I am really one of you, and I am not one of them.
I just thought it was amusing that the same magazine, on its blog, accused Joe Lieberman of being an "ungrateful, dissembling GOP hack" merely because he hesitated, and ultimately refused, to draw the same conclusion. So is Judis a GOP hack, or is he just stating the obvious?
