It's official: William Kristol is the dumbest, and slimiest person on the planet.

Video: http://thinkprogress.org/2007/02/11/obama-slavery/


Can someone inform me of just ONE instance where Kristol has ever been correct???? I don't know if one exists. :shrug:

1. Blabba O'liely is still my pick , but this guy rates.

[OHdem10]

12. Bill krystol is the leader, chairman, ceo-type

of the NeoCons. For anyone who read it ,He was most
instrumental in writing the PNAC Document which laid
out their "dreams" or plans.

He is considered a go to guy . He manages THE WEEKLY STANDARD
and has recently being taken on by TIMEMAG as columnist. Consultant
at Fox News Network.

Neo-Conservatism is alive and well.

35. Bill wouldn't make a pimple on Rupert Murdoch's as far as Misanthropes go.

20. O'Reilly doesn't have the academic pedigree

Makes him less of a threat, just a "moran"

[Initech]

26. Here's the sad thing - neocons see Bill Kristol as the smart one.

Every time I get into arguments with them, they always point out the fact that O'Reilly is full of shit, but he's the smart one.

[Nikki Stone1]

27. It's the academic pedigree. A very expensive PhD sauce on cut-rate hamburger

Happens a lot in academics.

[opihimoimoi]

2. The NeoCon is a TURD. He mumbles incoherently on occasion. Do not listen to him

[boobooday]

3. Kristol is lower than slime

He is atrophied, curdled slime. Old slime that has hardened underneath the fresh slime.

Yes, I'm sure Obama would have been pro-slavery, and he probably would have been quite influential back in the day, too. I'm sure he would have been appointed to a high position in the Confederate government.

:wtf:

[Nikki Stone1]

17. It's about truth, it's about propaganda.

:kick:

[Faygo Kid]

4. He is a killer, pure and simple. An evil man who has done great harm.

He is the lowest of the low. In the media, there is no other comparison point anymore. He is the bottom of the barrel, and has stacked up a higher body count than anyone this side of Bush or Cheney.

[LibDemAlways]

5. One morning Kristol was on c-span and a

caller asked the lowlife bastard if he had ever served in the military since his PNAC crap is all about using the military to start wars. He hemmed and hawed and then came back with some lame nonsense about there being other ways to serve one's country. Truly one of the most arrogant shithead hypocrites out there.

[jaxx]

11. Right. Kristol is a PNAC and the last thing they want is an Obama

getting in their way. They have the agenda set and being carried out now. Be prepared for more of this crap.

[Nikki Stone1]

22. Another chickenhawk

...

[brentspeak]

6. Can someone explain just WHY Bill Kristol is still given a public platform with which to speak?

As the OP points out, Kristol has been wrong 100% of the time on everything he opines about.

[Quixote1818]

9. Not just wrong, he is never even CLOSE!

He misses everything by a mile! It's absolutely pathetic! If I were a betting man I would put millions against every prediction he makes.

[Nikki Stone1]

18. Who are his connections and whom does he speak for?

Those answers would answer your question

[liam_laddie]

38. Likud, radical Zionists, etc.

Very dangerous, not-so-hidden agenda. His dad, Irving Kristol, was a seminal member of the neo-conservative movement, having previously been a liberal, left-leaning activist/writer.

[blogslut]

7. Oh man

Little Billy K. is grabbing for straws, ain't he? Keep grabbing, Billy.

[Nikki Stone1]

23. The problem is it will be all over Limbaugh, Hannity, etc. in the morning

..

[SquireJons]

8. What do you expect from someone known as "Quayle's brain?"

This was actually all a mistake. He was really just one of Quayle's bowel movements, but Quayle's handlers thought his brain had fallen out of his ass. So when it started walking and talking they got the bright idea to promote the turd to chief of staff and hope no one would notice. But, spend one minute in a room with him and the smell alone makes it pretty obvious as to what Kristol really is. Even Rove can't put a blossom on this turd.

[Jim Warren]

10. Billy's background

Mom:

Gertrude Himmelfab

quote:
In a 1995 Bradley Lecture at the American Enterprise Institute on the virtues of Victorian morality, Himmelfarb said: “It is this reluctance to speak the language of morality, and to apply moral ideas to social policies, that separates us from the Victorians. In Victorian England, moral principles were as much a part of public discourse as of private discourse, and as much a part of social policy as of personal life. Every measure of poor relief, for example, had to justify itself by showing that it would promote the moral as well as the material well-being of the poor -- and not only of the pauper receiving relief but of the independent laboring poor as well.

19. Know your William Kristol

Know your William Kristol

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Kristol

...Project for the Republican Future
Kristol first made his mark as leader of the Project for the Republican Future, a conservative think tank, and rose to fame as a conservative opinionmaker during the battle over the Clinton health care plan. In his first of what would become legendary strategy memos circulated among Republican policymakers, Kristol said the party should "kill", not amend or compromise on, the Clinton health care plan. In doing so, Kristol presented the first public document uniting Republicans behind total opposition to the reform plan. A later memo advocated the phrase There is no health care crisis, which Senate Minority Leader Bob Dole used in his response to Clinton's 1994 State of the Union address.

Weekly Standard
After the Republican sweep of both houses of Congress in 1994, arguably a result of the debacle over health care reform, Kristol established, along with neoconservative John Podhoretz and with financing from Rupert Murdoch, the conservative periodical The Weekly Standard. In 1997, he founded, with Robert Kagan, the Project for the New American Century (PNAC), a movement credited in part for some of the foreign policy decisions of the Bush administration as evidenced by their 1998 letter to US President Bill Clinton advocating military action in Iraq, to "protect our vital interests in the Gulf". He is also a member of the conservative think tank the American Enterprise Institute from which the Bush administration has borrowed over two dozen members to fill various government offices and panels. Kristol is currently chairman of PNAC and editor of The Weekly Standard.

George W. Bush
As were other neoconservatives, Kristol was a strong advocate of the Iraq war. In 2003, just as the Iraq War was starting, Kristol appeared on the National Public Radio show "Fresh Air" and made the following statement: "There's been a certain amount of pop sociology in America ... that the Shia can't get along with the Sunni and the Shia in Iraq just want to establish some kind of Islamic fundamentalist regime. There's almost no evidence of that at all. Iraq's always been very secular." <1> Some have harshly criticized Kristol for these comments; for example Al Franken, Alex Koppelman, and Harold Meyerson <2>.
However, Kristol has not always fallen in line behind the Bush administration. In 2004, he wrote an op-ed strongly criticizing Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld.<3> He was also the first of many conservatives to publicly oppose Bush's second U.S. Supreme Court nominee, Harriet Miers. He said of Miers: "I'm disappointed, depressed, and demoralized. <...> It is very hard to avoid the conclusion that President Bush flinched from a fight on constitutional philosophy. Miers is undoubtedly a decent and competent person. But her selection will unavoidably be judged as reflecting a combination of cronyism and capitulation on the part of the president."

2006
He is currently a visiting professor at Harvard University, where he is teaching a course in the school's Government Department entitled "Intellectual Foundations of American Foreign Policy". In addition to his role as a political contributor on FOX News, Kristol was for a time a semi-regular guest on the now cancelled World News Tonight on Sky News, appearing live from the US. Most recently he has been a vocal supporter of the Israeli attack on Lebanon, stating that the war is "our war too," referring to the United States. He continues to back the Iraq war, and favors a war with Iran. <2> Kristol is a patron of the British think tank the Henry Jackson Society, based at Cambridge.

21. This is the right title for the story in the OP. The other titles spread neocon propaganda

or are divisive
