Over at Lawyers, Guns and Money, Paul Campos was lamenting that “I swear if I read one more thing about spoiled Baby Boomers not understanding the gloriousness of The Greatest Generation I’m going to move from dissent to resistance.” This outburst was prompted by a piece in the Los Angeles Times by Jim Spencer (“Democratic political consultant based in Boston”) and Curtis Ellis. But I thought it referred to an Globe op-ed today, “Today’s New Right looks a lot like the New Left of the ’60s” by Cliff Garboden. Both pieces are IMHO tedious, vacuous, and stupid. But take a look at how similar they are in laying out the case, even in comparing the New Left of the 1960s and the Tea Partyers of today. Pure coincidence? Of course.

You actually made me laugh about that stupid stupid column.
