3. Matt Yglesias and John Noonan Are Having a Twitter Fight - Vanity Fair
Jan 7, 2011 · Center for American Progress blogger Matt Yglesias and The Weekly Standard's John Noonan have been deriding each other on Twitter for the past hour.
Center for American Progress blogger Matt Yglesias and The Weekly Standard’s John Noonan have been deriding each other on Twitter for the past hour. What are they arguing about? This morning, Yglesias wrote a piece for Think Progress in which he suggested, “What we need, I think, is some form of American gendarmerie—a quasi-military federal organization specialized in police/security functions rather than finding and killing bad guys per se.” Noonan did not much care for this idea, and dismissed the column as “a modern art masterpiece.” Who was right? That all depends on your opinion about the effectiveness of counterinsurgency operations, or COIN. (Yglesias thinks “we should actually move away from the COIN,” while Noonan accused Yglesias of “still clinging to a myopic, one-dimensional approach to a multi-dimensional strategy.”) As for the other matter at hand, which public intellectual produced the better ad hominem attack against the other, this is also a subject of some contention. Let’s tally the insults and award points.
