  •  The worst kind... (none / 0)

    ...of American exceptionalism, because it's equally prevalant on the Left and the Right. You just can't get over the fact that your golden boy was blown away by a crackpot, can you?

    And saying a book is reliable because it has a lot of references? Ann Coulter's books have a lot of references, too.

    •  The opposite of exceptionalism (none / 0)

      during the height of the cold war, I also assume that it is very hard for 24-year-old-former defector-to-the-Soviet-Union-crackpots to get within shooting distance of the president.

      when a leader gets killed under really weird circumstances elsewhere in the world, and his supposed killer gets killed in police custody, I assume the corrupt government had something to do with it.

      that's not to say I couldn' be wrong. Maybe it really was the guy filled with bullet holes on the airport tarmac in Manilla that killed Aquino?
