Not so fast, chap

Cross posted at Political Arguments.

Brian Leiter points to Christopher Hitchen[s]'s article in Vanity Fair on voting fraud in the 2004 election. What strikes me as off is Leiter's title:
Even Some on the Right are Now Worried about Election Fraud in Ohio

Now, Hitchens may be a lot of things, but a right-winger he's not, at least not yet. That he finds some unsavory characters in the Bush administration to be fellow-travelers doesn't stop him from being the kind of person who'd use the term "fellow traveler" and mean it.

I don't know if he does, but he sprinkles his talks with exhortations to his "comrades", which is close enough.

Know your Left from your other Left, people!
