Speaking of Best of the Web,

Today's first item is a verification of Byron York's excellent book, The Vast Left Wing Conspiracy, which shows how the lurking anti-war radicals on the left have taken over the Democrat Party. Howard Dean apparently remembers the 1960s and 1970s as a time of great victory for that crowd, forgetting that they handed Richard Nixon two terms as president. His downfall wasn't due to them but to his own inept and paranoid handling of their antics and attacks on him.

I don't think they've ever figured out the effect they have on normal people. It's kind of ironic that their claims that Bush & Co. want to establish an Old Testament style theocracy have gained such currency, because they make the left resemble nothing so much as Jehovah's Witnesses.
