Sometimes Jonah Goldberg lacks the imaginative resources necessary to come up with new stupid things to say, so he relies on his audience of stupid people and relays their emails. For example this:
Isn’t it striking how many on the left shriek their immediate support for an Arizona boycott even as they stand mutely by as Iran – in violation of international accords – accelerates towards nukes…
actually, no – it isn’t….
Iran, of course, is already subject to very stringent US sanctions and somewhat stringent international sanctions, and the Obama administration is seeking to tighten those sanctions. What’s more, the whole debate about Iran is about efficacy—what will actually work. The debate about Arizona is about content—conservatives in Arizona and around the country are cheering a discriminatory policy on and liberals are opposing it. There’s no debate in the United States about whether or not Iranian nuclear weapons are desirable.
