Déjà vu all over again…

They say there's nothing new under the Sun. Frank Rich offers an example…

Today's judge-bashing firebrands often say that it isn't homosexuality per se that riles them, only the potential legalization of same-sex marriage by the courts. That's a sham. These people have been attacking gay people since well before Massachusetts judges took up the issue of marriage, Vermont legalized civil unions or Gavin Newsom was in grade school.

It's pretty much the same with the UN bashing, red baiting (now reduced to accusations of liberalism) and other prominent features of wingnut behavior these days. The good news is that we beat back the Birchers and White Citizens Councils then, and we can beat back the destructionists and fundies now.

I've got to believe that.
