Short memories

Short memories seem to be a prerequisite for liberalism. Consider MoveOn.org's attack on Sen. Clinton:

In a statement to The Huffington Post, MoveOn's Executive Director Eli Pariser reacted strongly to Clinton's remarks: "Senator Clinton has her facts wrong again. MoveOn never opposed the war in Afghanistan, and we set the record straight years ago when Karl Rove made the same claim.

Tom Maguire checked the facts and, in fact, in 2001, MoveOn did oppose the war in Afghanistan. After the war became a success, many Democrats, apparently like MoveOn's director, forgot that they had opposed the war.

Short memories can be important for mental health. How many Democrats really want to remember that it was the Democrats who filibustered the Civil Rights Act of 1957 or that, during the civil war, their party supported the South keeping its slaves?
