Klein at it again, claiming conservatives "happily chase converts," while liberals "hunt down heretics"

SUMMARY: Time columnist Joe Klein continued his pattern of denigrating liberals while praising conservatives, this time reviving a quote from Washington Post columnist Michael Kinsley who, in purporting to characterize politics in the 1980s, said that while "liberals hunt down heretics ... conservatives happily chase converts." However, in 1996, Klein used the same Kinsley quote but argued that "[i]t's been the opposite in the '90s."
