to read the f*cking articles they are commenting on.

A comment from the well connected DeLong, from the article I cited, says:

Mind you: The day will come when it will be time to gleefully and comprehensively trash people to be named later for Guevarista fantasies about what their policies are likely to do. The day will come when it will be time to gleefully and comprehensively trash people to be named later for advocating Comintern-scale lying to voters about what our policies are like to do. And it will be important to do so then--because overpromising leads to bad policy decisions, and overpromising is bad long-run politics as well.

At his site, he includes this comment after the paragraph above.

But that day is not now. That day will be mid-November.

How is it not obvious to you what he is saying?

Is it too much to ask GRhodes Jun 2016 #4

I read it, there wasn't any "threat". There was well-deserved criticism of some idiots YouDig Jun 2016 #5

LOL! GRhodes Jun 2016 #7

You forgot to point to the "threat". Can you at least spell out your conspiracy theory for us? YouDig Jun 2016 #8

As I said above, is it too much for the head in the sand crowd GRhodes Jun 2016 #11
