William Kristol intentionally playing McCarthy politics

[kainah]

Columnist William Kristol wrote this in The Washington Post yesterday: "But the American people, whatever their doubts about aspects of Bush's foreign policy, know that Bush is serious about fighting terrorists and terrorist states that mean America harm. About Bush's Democratic critics, they know no such thing."

In 1952, his father, neo-con philosopher Irving Kristol, wrote in Commentary: "There is one thing that the American people know about Sen. < Joseph> McCarthy. He, like them, is unequivocally anti-Communist. About the spokesmen for American liberalism, they feel they know no such thing."

The similarities, we are told, were no accident.

1. Only a few Words...

...SAUDI ARABIA and the Bush family business dealings.


I need say no more.

2. Not an original thought in his head

Just like the chimpy and his poppy, and no wonder Quayle looked so dumb with Billy-boy as his chief of staff.

That punk needs to do some Humvee time in downtown Baghdad for an attitude adjustment.

3. Kristol is a smart guy...

...BUT his perma-smirk gives his modus operandi away everytime.

4. I hate that smarmy a-hole

Smug smirking PNAC pinhead. Blech!

5. There are many many many bad evil Republicans in this country

but Kristol is the worst of the worst. He should be pushed out to sea on a raft.

6. It is true

that liberals were unwittingly soft on communism in the `30s and `40s at the expense of national security. Can anyone argue differently?
