In trying to write my review of Good Night And Good Luck, I found myself having to wrap my head around the fact that there are indeed those who think McCarthy was a good guy. Let me get more specific: I was reading Chuck Tryon's piece on the film, in which he linked to this Salon.com review of a certain book. I'm generally a very peaceful, rational person - but just reading that review made me feel a deep need to commit my own little act of terrorism against the book's author.
From what I've gathered from my own schooling and that of my friends and siblings, it's pretty common to read (if not perform) The Crucible in junior high or high school. In my experience, the allegorical nature of it was made transparent, the injustice it represented made clear. This was not liberal conditioning or predisposing; it was an application of common sense.

I think that linking to Conason's review was my own version of subverting Coulter, with the hopes that people who search for Coulter's book will find his review instead.
