But in delegitimizing the administration, they also tend to delegitimize the efforts of the U.S. government, including military personnel, in Iraq and generally in the war against Islamic terrorism. To the extent they delegitimize the United States, they are hurting the cause of freedom for millions of people. I do not say the Democrats are being unpatriotic, a word they seem fixated on. So far as I am aware, no responsible Republican has charged that they are unpatriotic; John McCain refused Bob Schieffer\u2019s invitation to do so. But I do say this: The Democrats who are peddling the Big Lie of \u201cBush lied\u201d are doing so either (a) deliberately to injure the cause of the United States and of freedom in the world or, as I think, (b) with reckless disregard of whether they injure the cause of the United States and of freedom in the world. What they are doing may suit their political needs, but it hurts our country.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/stories\/2005\/11\/16\/opinion\/meyer\/main1046807.shtml\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Dick Meyer<\/a> missing it by a bit: <em>A couple of points: first, notice the rhetorical slight of hand.
