It’s notable that neither Balloon Juice or Kos can address Podhoretz’ thesis, choosing rather to attack him.
Obviously, Podhoretz’ point is proven correct with their responses.
I would only take issue with one thing he said: For a day or two following the 9/11 attacks, the politics of the left were actually *not* blatantly scornful of all things American (the concept of patriotism, the flag, American pride, etc.). For a day or two, we were all Americans first. So yeah, it has changed, but only from the shamefully brief intermission from the usual irrational rage-filled leftism.
