CIA Leak Case Highlights Vicious Partisanship in U.S. Politics
October 28th, 2005After watching the press conference of Special Counsel Patrick J. Fitzgeral on CNN, it is clear the obstruction of justice charge is meant to put a clearly guilty party in the spotlight of justice, Vice President Dick Cheney’s cheif of staff I. Scooter Libby, to get to the bottom of the malice behind the leak of CIA agent Valerie Plame-Wilson’s name. The investigation is not over.
It is also clear that what this case is about highlights the level of viciousness in U.S. politics these days so drastically divided as it is along partisan lines.
This has been true of Democrats as well as Republicans, including the Friends of Bill Clinton (FOB), according to sources including Jennifer Flowers.
It is true of the Siegelman-Scrushy charges filed this week in Alabama. It is true of e-mail exchanges many of us have been in lately as well.
I’m not sure there’s any hope of this changing anytime soon, but it would be nice to imagine a better world. That, however, will take a different kind of leadership.
George W. Bush and Karl Rove first learned how to practice this form of personal attack politics in George Wallace’s Alabama, as I have reported in the past. None of the national media were interested in exploring this, but it is true.
Now these so-called neocons (meaning I suppose a new kind of conservative, maybe one that is not actually philosophically conservative) have turned the politics of vicious personal attacks into a Machiavellian art form.
The damaging consequences of this are not a partisan issue. This is bad for America, whether you are a liberal Democrat, a conservative Republican, or something in between, such as an independent liberaltarian.
