Liberal Stance: GOP Talking Point: “Criminalization of Politics”

Liberal Stance

But if by a "Liberal" they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people -- their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties -- someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a "Liberal," then I'm proud to say I'm a "Liberal." --John F. Kennedy

What happen to “criminalization of politics” Republican talking point?

It became clear that a comprehensive strategy of criminalization had been implemented to inflict defeat on conservatives who seek to govern as conservatives. -- Bill Kristol 10/24/2005

Following Bill Kristol lead Fox News repeated this talking point over and over.

According to a database search, every single television reference to the CIA leak scandal as the “criminalization of politics” in the last 30 days has been on Fox. Even more stunning: on every occassion, the phrase was introduced into the segment by a Fox News anchor or correspondent, never by a guest.

Even, Tom Delay use this talking point to defend himself. But the old conservative talking points are now inoperative, due to the fact many Republican politicians are turning out to be criminal.
