Broder: They Committed War Crimes, But They Didn't "Trash Our Town"

By Big Tent Democrat

Predictably, David Broder demonstrates what a foul human being he is:

Obama is being lobbied by politicians and voters who want something more -- the humiliation and/or punishment of those responsible for the policies of the past. They are looking for individual scalps -- or, at least, careers and reputations. Their argument is that without identifying and punishing the perpetrators, there can be no accountability -- and therefore no deterrent lesson for future administrations. It is a plausible-sounding rationale, but it cloaks an unworthy desire for vengeance.

What a mendacious hypocrite Broder is. He urged investigations and attacks on Bill Clinton because "[he] trashed the place" (but torture is a-ok to Broder):

Shut the eff up David Broder. We do not need hear from you, you sanctimonious phony hypocrite.

Speaking for me only
