Last week I started getting bombarded with nearly identical e-mails about an Ohio congresswoman named Marcy Kaptur, who, I was told, ought to be ashamed of the awful things she had said — something about comparing Osama bin Laden to the founding fathers. Why these correspondents thought I should be apprised of Rep. Kaptur’s need to be ashamed, I did not know. But I had a pretty good idea: whenever this sort of e-mail bombardment begins, Rush Limbaugh is usually behind it. And indeed he was.
The record suggests that in fact Kaptur’s argument was more complex and historical than the dittoheads are able to comprehend. Douglas Anders of the Agora offers links and two commentaries on the whole affair. [Links courtesy Rogers Cadenhead]
