witch hunt

Flock of conservatives Both YCT responses to "Modern-day witch hunt?" (April 10) in Monday's Firing Line had good intentions (which is new for YCT) but were misguided ("Livin la vida liberal," The Firing Line, April 14).

Both claim that powerful liberals not living by the ideals they preach is proof that liberal ideas are wrong.

Livin' la vida liberal In response the April 10 viewpoint "Modern-day witch hunt?" by our admittedly liberal Daily Texan editorial board, Peter Schweizer did say that hypocrisy is part of human nature.

The main point of his talk, though, was not to play a game of "gotcha" with public officials.

In the eyes of conservative author Peter Schweizer, hypocrisy is like breathing - everyone does it. But liberals manage to get away with it.

Conservative principles, he said in a Wednesday-night talk sponsored by the Young Conservatives of Texas, are like guardrails.
