Reason's tunnel vision

The anti-McCain fervor at Reason continues to erode the magazine's intellectual capacity. Here's Matt Welch criticizing McCain for being a foreign-policy hardliner who's unfaithful to the heritage of Barry Goldwater -- who was no less of a hardliner. And here's Radley Balko stuffing straw-man words into McCain's mouth ("Do you really believe that the government is the root of American greatness?"). Some previous examples of Reasonoid lameness here, here, here and here. UPDATE: And here.
