I had read the article earlier in the week and not paid much attention to the source of the citation in it. What you've pasted up in the excerpts -- 'in defense of liberalism' -- looks like good stuff.

But this whole thread seems kind of circular to me, as in elements of a circular firing squad. Mayer, what I see above in Stern, Hedges and that last link I added, Thom Hartmann on 'myth of victimhood' are all either writing reminiscences about Germany in the 30's, or drawing direct parallels. In what appear to me to be very similar ways. But maybe using the same vocabulary in superficially conflicting ways.
