| The Politics of Memory
Welch, Matt
Reason, October 2009, v41, #5, pp2-5
"Memory loss, while potentially ruinous to the U.S. economy, does have its momentary political advantages. [...] Living in Washington these days is like experiencing the 1970s all over again, just without the great music and bad clothes. The same Republicans who for years ridiculed every anti-Bush protest (including the mammoth, 100,000-strong anti-war march at the 2004 Republican National Convention) as a festival of America hating lunatics are now complaining bitterly about sparse and negative media coverage of comparatively tiny Tea Party protests from coast to coast."
