MR. RICH LETS ME DOWN A LITTLE

In an otherwise terrific column exposing the Tea Baggers as the modern version of the John Birch Society, he repeats a myth that the Villagers seem to love:

The same Republicans who once deplored Democrats for refusing to let an anti-abortion dissident, Gov. Robert Casey of Pennsylvania, speak at the 1992 Clinton convention now routinely banish any dissenters in their own camp.

Casey wasn't allowed to speak because he didn't endorse the ticket, not because of his position on abortion.
