The best reasons I have for liking Perry is the people who hate him.

“Salon” has morphed Perry’s comments into calling for “stringing him up.”

>>>>”Yesterday, Texas governor and sudden Republican presidential frontrunner Rick Perry said that if Ben Bernanke tried any of that money-printing stuff in Texas, he’d be strung up. “If this guy prints more money between now and the election,” Perry told some Iowans, “I don’t know what y’all would do to him in Iowa, but we would treat him pretty ugly down in Texas.” (Iowa’s last execution was in 1963, so Iowa would probably not kill him.)

Among many Americans, especially wealthy rich white political pundits who live in gated communities in Maryland, it is considered “folksy” and charming to explicitly remind people of and seemingly endorse America’s ugly history of lynch mobs doling out “frontier justice,” but even among those who see nothing wrong with white-washed nostalgia for gruesome, lawless vigilantism, Perry’s comments were thought to have gone a bit too far. (Accusing the Republican-appointed chairman of the Federal Reserve of “treason” was a “serious unforced error,” according to John Podhoretz.) New York Times Washington correspondent Binyamin Appelbaum summed up one strand of establishment response to the comments by calling Perry’s remakrs “horrifying.”<<<.....

Sounds like Perry doesn’t fit the old guard liberal and it’s all about the party’s ideology, so out comes Rove to trash him. Look for the other party boys and liberals to join in.
