This morning on Fox News Sunday, New York Times columnist Bill Kristol recommended that Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) employ the “politics of fear” to attack Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL):
KRISTOL: [Obama’s] riding a wave of euphoria. She [Clinton] needs to puncture it. The way you puncture euphoria is reality, or to be more blunt, fear. I recommend to Senator Clinton the politics of fear.
Kristol explained that his fear-mongering political strategy would focus on Iran. He recommended that Clinton say the following about Obama: “He wants to negotiate on January 21st with Ahmadinejad. Here’s what Ahmadinejad has said about blowing up Israel.” Watch it:
Kristol has invested heavily in a strategy of convincing policymakers to bomb Iran. Here’s some examples of what Kristol has advocated:
– “We could in a military confrontation with Iran much sooner than people expect.”
– The Iranian people would embrace “the right use of targeting military force.”
– President Bush “could easily build political support” for an attack on Iran “at the beginning of 2008.”
Because the concept of engaging Iran is a threat to Kristol’s agenda, he appears desperate to do all he can to delegitimize the idea of negotiation. As Kristol’s Fox News colleage Juan Williams has said, all Kristol wants is “war, war, war.”
If there’s one thing this maggot knows, it’s using fear to control sheep.
February 24th, 2008 at 10:50 amAnd by maggot, I mean a slimy bug that feasts on corpses.
February 24th, 2008 at 10:51 amThe idle thoughts/ravings of this man fatigue me.
February 24th, 2008 at 10:52 amAh, yes. Another pithy, insightful comment from Little Billy Kristol — the Eddie Haskell of the Sunday morning talk shows.
Gotta admit, though. When it comes to the politics of fear, Little Billy is an expert.
February 24th, 2008 at 10:54 amWhat a defective intellect! What was the NYTimes thinking?
February 24th, 2008 at 10:56 amOh yes, of course, Hillary Clinton should adopt the policies of an extreme right-wing ideologue. That will help her during the Democratic primary. At the same time she might want to endorse the Iraq War, deny global warming, pledge to ban abortion, promise to torture everyone she can get her hands on, deport every immigrant, and hell why not deny the Dinosaurs existed and commit to teaching theology in the public schools. I’m sure the Democratic primary-goers will go for it.
February 24th, 2008 at 11:01 amGood idea, Billy. Sounds like you want to bolster the failing Clinton campaign — with the politics of FEAR. Nice touch.
February 24th, 2008 at 11:02 amSo do ya think that when this man gets up from underneath his rock, he says lets go down to and get some onion rings with lots of fear sauce on top. It seems to be the common condiment that about all these neocon BS artists
February 24th, 2008 at 11:05 amuse.
And we can’t forget the classic:
The Terrorists want Obama to win.
More politics of division and fear that is swiftly killing the Republican party and FOX.
February 24th, 2008 at 11:05 amJuan Williams is not a colleague. He’s a FOX employee pretending to be a Democrat to provide the illusion of balance on the FOX propaganda network.
February 24th, 2008 at 11:07 amAnd he LAUGHS when he says it!
It’s a political tool that has worked for the rethugs, and the smug Kristol takes perverse glee in exploiting the fear that they create.
February 24th, 2008 at 11:09 amDear Demented Billy Kristol, Fear is a tactic used by terrorists.
February 24th, 2008 at 11:11 amBilly K would love to see Hillary as the Dem nominee, so he’s working up the Obama fear factor. He’s counting on what he sees as the widespread loathing of Ms Clinton to keep the GOP in the WH. Kristol Lite is afraid of Barack Obama.
February 24th, 2008 at 11:11 amSo the Iranians would “embrace the right use of military force” if the bombs start dropping in Persia.
Tell us, Bill, how well that worked in Iraq.
It’s baffling how someone who’s been wrong on EVERYTHING for the past 8 years still gets a forum in the national media.
And this demon is employed at the Times? There must certainly be a lot of money behind a sick mind. And we know, America makes it decisions at the bottom line level.
February 24th, 2008 at 11:11 amNo thought, big mouths.
He sounds so much like Kim Jung Il.
Yes fear is a terrorism tool.
February 24th, 2008 at 11:13 amThis is nothing more than an attempt to attack the Democratic front runner disguised as “advice” for Clinton.
February 24th, 2008 at 11:14 amI wonder if little Billy pooped in his pants again this morning.
February 24th, 2008 at 11:15 amI recommend everybody remove their support for the corporations that give this loser a platform.
I don’t know if little Billy was beat up one too many times as a kid or if he’s twisted by the inability to accept his sexuality because it’s doesn’t fall within the “norm”, but something is obviously wrong with this guy and giving him jobs despite his complete incompetence and keeping him in a Washington-New York media bubble will only enable his psychological problems and make his condition worse.
February 24th, 2008 at 11:16 amWow! I guess folks who call neocons like Kristol (or the Ruling Junta in the White House) “fascists” aren’t being hyperbolic or melodramatic after all.
February 24th, 2008 at 11:20 amClinton’s campaign is dead. She and her supporters are exhibiting sheer desperation now. She has no hope of winning, but instead of bowing out gracefully, it looks like she is going to be a very ugly loser. It is hard to believe that two months ago I felt more or less neutral about her vs. Obama.
February 24th, 2008 at 11:21 amAnd Billy Kristol used to do such wonderful musical and movie pastiches at the Oscars too! It’s such a shame!
February 24th, 2008 at 11:23 amBTW, TP, typo in the headline, Politcs
February 24th, 2008 at 11:26 amAnd the demonic Kristol speaks again. It is to our nation’s great shame that anyone still listens.
February 24th, 2008 at 11:27 am‘Fear’, always fear..It payed off last time for GOP elections..I don’t know about that this time.
February 24th, 2008 at 11:28 amNotice..the attack on Iran is always on Kristol’s mind.
It is what The PNAC [Project For The New American Century] manifesto calls for,
It is The Clean Break : A New Strategy For Securing The Realm.
More wars by Neocons…send American kids to die for…another country’s interests..
This is why we need regime change in the United States. Kristol really scares me.
February 24th, 2008 at 11:29 amBert thinks people should feel sorry McCame because he cheated on his wife?
Why, Bert wants Cindy McCain for President!
February 24th, 2008 at 11:31 amMemo to Bill Kristol :
Funny you’d say that Bill, because, well . .
February 24th, 2008 at 11:32 amI personally recommend that when you are placed on the guillotine
that they stretch your neck out real tight.
Giving an incompetent little worm a pass through life because of who his Daddy was is not good for the beneficiary of the nepotism or society at large in the long run.
February 24th, 2008 at 11:38 amYou are putting that person in an artificial setting and are not being true as to who that person really is.

Talk about being an out-of-touch elitist!
Will’s oldest son has Down’s syndrome and he functions pretty well, but he surely had the best therapy that money could buy — parents with fewer access and resources are seeing their hopes for their afflicted children diminished annually by the rethugs and the cuts in programs. That would be only ONE segment of the population who is in despair.

Stassen was later best known for being a perennial candidate for the Republican Party nomination for President, seeking it nine times between 1948 and 1992 (1948, 1952, 1964, 1968, 1976, 1980, 1984, 1988, 1992) but never winning it or, after 1952, even coming close. He did receive votes at the Republican National Convention as late as 1968 when he won two votes for president (one from Minnesota and the other from Ohio).
February 24th, 2008 at 12:00 pmKRISTOL: “I recommend to Senator Clinton the politics of fear.”

February 24th, 2008 at 12:03 pmYou know the wing nuts are getting desparate when they give free advise to a Clinton on how to come out ahead. However, it is surprising that he would advise her to use the only thing republicans have to run on.

Kristol is the past, Obama is the future. We are tired of the fear mongering and we aren’t going to put up with it any longer. I believe that Clinton realizes this.

I was so hoping that she had decided to go out gracefully after her ending to the last debate. But, it’s beginning to look like that isn’t going to happen. I suspect that is Bill’s influence over her. I really do think that Hillary Clinton is, in her heart, a good person. I think she allows Bill too much influence over her. That is why she lost the nomination and that will be why she doesn’t leave gracefully.

Nader just can’t get over himself. He is all ego and nothing else. But, I suspect that his 3rd party candidacy is going to tank really quickly. There’s no way that any Democrat or Independent is going to vote for him knowing that they are giving a vote to the Republiscum party by voting for Nader.
February 24th, 2008 at 12:26 pmHas anyone besides me noticed that the trolls are getting uglier by the minute? Why does TP allow this? Why don’t they institute a rule that if you post simply to incite, you are gone. Or how about if you post off topic more than once in a thread, you are gone? I guess the problem with those ideas is that it would necessitate someone actually moderating this site. I get the idea that their moderation is spotty at best and non-existent on the weekends.

February 24th, 2008 at 12:33 pmKristol’s “politics of fear” works on Republicans and some stupid independents. It doesn’t work on Democrats. Of course, Kristol isn’t giving advice that he hopes will help Democrats–he’s giving advice that he hopes will destroy Democrats.

Think of it, all of those beautiful attack ads against Obama during the election campaign against McCain featuring Hillary’s attacks against Obama. We will probably see that with the attacks on experience as it is. Hillary should certainly have enough tact to understand what is going on with this “recommendation.”

And Frankie is right. There are people who want to hurt us - and will. But he refuses to acknowledge that it was our governments intervention in other nations, always to the detriment of their people which created all this. And Iraq exasperates all prior US screwups a trillion fold. Bush and his rogue admin have created thousands of extremists who want to hurt us. And they will succeed at some point. And Bush et al will be responsible. But I forgot Bush knows nothing about responsibility.
We are so screwed and it’s the likes of te chairman of PNAC, Bill Kristol that did it to us, our children, and our grand children.
February 24th, 2008 at 12:58 pmGod yes! VOTE NADER! He’s going to suck those few McCain indies who still buy into the straight talk express nonsense. For once his running is a good thing.
I disagree. I think that Nader will pull many more Independents who are leaning Democratic than those who are leaning Republican. Everything that Nader has to say is the complete opposite of McCain. So why would anyone leaning towards McCain vote for Nader? The only reason why I can see them doing that is because they can’t vote for Obama because he is Black. It’s sad how much racism we still have in this country.

February 24th, 2008 at 1:16 pmThe “Protocols of Zion” are supposed an anti-Semitic myth? So why are these Jewish neocons then so intent on on proving them entirely correct….?
PROTOCOL No. 7
1. The intensification of armaments, the increase of police forces - are all essential for the completion of the aforementioned plans. What we have to get at is that there should be in all the States of the world, besides ourselves, only the masses of the proletariat, a few millionaires devoted to our interests, police and soldiers.
2. Throughout all Europe, and by means of relations with Europe, in other continents also, we must create ferments, discords and hostility. Therein we gain a double advantage. In the first place we keep in check all countries, for they will know that we have the power whenever we like to create disorders or to restore order. All these countries are accustomed to see in us an indispensable force of coercion. In the second place, by our intrigues we shall tangle up all the threads which we have stretched into the cabinets of all States by means of the political, by economic treaties, or loan obligations. In order to succeed in this we must use great cunning and penetration during negotiations and agreements, but, as regards what is called the “official language,” we shall keep to the opposite tactics and assume the mask of honesty and complacency. In this way the peoples and governments of the GOYIM, whom we have taught to look only at the outside whatever we present to their notice, will still continue to accept us as the benefactors and saviours of the human race.
UNIVERSAL WAR
3. We must be in a position to respond to every act of opposition by war with the neighbors of that country which dares to oppose us: but if these neighbors should also venture to stand collectively together against us, then we must offer resistance by a universal war.
4. The principal factor of success in the political is the secrecy of its undertakings: the word should not agree with the deeds of the diplomat.
5. We must compel the governments of the GOYIM to take action in the direction favored by our widely conceived plan, already approaching the desired consummation, by what we shall represent as public opinion, secretly promoted by us through the means of that so-called “Great Power” - THE PRESS, WHICH, WITH A FEW EXCEPTIONS THAT MAY BE DISREGARDED, IS ALREADY ENTIRELY IN OUR HANDS.
6. In a word, to sum up our system of keeping the governments of the goyim in Europe in check, we shall show our strength to one of them by terrorist attempts and to all, if we allow the possibility of a general rising against us, we shall respond with the guns of America or China or Japan.”
February 24th, 2008 at 1:19 pmWhy? Because people who pay attention know just what you said. That’s what…20% of the dumb a$$ citizens of our fair land.
WE know. WE pay attention. Most don’t. Those who see McNutbag in the light of indie - but who lean towards goopers will be turned off by the war for generations thing. I think he’d give up more votes to Nader than any del. And I think Obama is pretty solid from indies who want something other than the same old same old. Those on the fence at this point are goop ers.
But hey I could be wrong.

America needs real change and a new direction under a qualified, experienced visionary leader. Hillary Clinton is that leader.
The biased media against Hillary Clinton has swayed voters to Obama. Biased media has shifted poll numbers in favor of Obama. This Democratic nomination process continues to be undermined by pro-Obama biased media against Hillary Clinton.

Her campaign has made a number of tactical errors as well, including their decision essentially to ignore the caucus states and concentrate on the big delegate counts - but even in the big states that she won, she only got a slice of the delegates.
Zooey’s right, though. Clinton assumed for the last few years that the nomination was hers by right of entitlement, which isn’t the assumption of the rest of the country.

Alot of Americans seem to like Obama and want him to be president- that’s why he keeps winning Democratic primaries with numbers 3 times as large as those of all the Republican candidates combined…
IF he gets the nomination I predict he will win, but then I expect either of them to win, and to be better for America in the first 7 months than the last 7 years of Republican rule…
Please accept America’s gratitude for staying home with all your Republican friends on election night, Dela.

Yes there is, people like Bush?Cheney, Rice, Rush Limpdick, Trannie Coulter, Billy-Bob Kristol, Newt Gingrich, Rudy Ghouliani, Tom Delay, Frankie, GiGi, Daryll. Just to name a few.
February 24th, 2008 at 2:07 pmAcknowledging reality is not fearmongering. There are evil people out there wishing to do us harm. Most democrats and liberals seem to be oblivious to this. They’d rather live in the Obama-cult where everybody’s a friend and people can sing Kumbaya and hold hands. Wake up. The world is not like that. Either they get us or we get them. Your choice. It’s not fearmongering when it’s based on reality.

February 24th, 2008 at 2:15 pmAnd the “reality” , Frank , is that those who are properly “equipped” to point out , hunt down and capture those “evil people” , do not have have a record of absolute failure , nor are guilty of constantly lying…………This would eliminate all those whom you seem to worship and believe in so unceasingly.

These ‘pundits’ or ‘overprivledged incompetent twits’ live in a bubble of reality that consists of the expensive homes, expensive restaurants, cocktail parties, think tanks, publishing house offices and tv studios of the Beltway and Midtown Manhattan.
Except for Rush Limbagh whose circle relies more on the golf courses and restaurants of Palm Beach.
That is a very microscopic sliver of America and is light years away from the reality that is seen by the rest of the country.
They had their moment utilizing the fearmongering and the fingerpointing propaganda of the post 9/11 early G.W Bush years, but since 2006 the voters have made fools of them repeatedly.
February 24th, 2008 at 2:20 pmFrom Karl Roves special math in the 2006 Midterms and Rush Pillhead’s
“no more carring the GOP’s water speech” to the 2008 primaries with their completely out of touch takes on Grandpa Fred, Ghouliani, Mitt Romney, Huckleberry and Ron Paul.
Teens are. Citizens and legal voters, too. Get over yourself, old man.
And lest not forget that it is their futures, too, that Bush has seriously screwed up.

Stop the incessant whining, it’s not attractive or likely to sway anyone here.

He didn’t get the memo. The “politics of fear” don’t work on the Democratic side.

That’s a good argument but you’re omitting what the ‘adults’ in the White House have done the last 8 years….from the moment they took
possession when they lied about vandalism and theft committed by the outgoing administration, you remember that …..except that when an outraged Republican demanded the General Accounting Office tabulate the damages……oops..THERE WAS NO DAMAGE OR THEFT.. we never heard much about that part in the press.
It’s too long a list but I’ll give you a partial list of what else the ‘adult’ administration accomplished the last 8 years……
1.) took a record budget surplus and turned it into a record deficit
2.) Conned the country into invading a country under false pretenses
3.) We have one adult in the White House (Safavian) convicted of theft
and another convicted for shoplifting at Target’s.
4.) Had a VP accidently shoot a man in the face after having “just one beer” and waiting hours to speak to police.
5.) The adults outed a CIA agent and then lied to a grand jury and the F.B.I. during the investigation.
6.) The adults had a gay male escort pose as a reporter to ask fluff questions at White House press conferences(White House regular Jeff Gannon).
7.) The adults also posed as reporters to ask questions at their own press conferences(Homeland Security)
8.) The adults lied at Congressional hearings and ignored Congressional subpoenas.
I could go on and on but I can’t sit at the computer all day typing maybe someone else can continue the list.
I agree teenagers can lack maturity, but I think most teenagers would take something as working in the White House pretty seriously and they would be hard pressed to top the current “Animal House” bunch occupying the White House in irresponsibility, laziness, dishonesty and lack of respect for Government traditions and institutions.
February 24th, 2008 at 2:58 pmObama is a celebrity like Eddie Murphy, Samual Jackson, or Jimi Hendrix. Lots of teenage boys and girls scream and faint when they see him. I like Obama but he belongs on MTV or in Hollywood, not in the White House.

While I’m no fan of Obama, Bush is MUCH CLOSER to a teenager than ANY DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE IN MEMORY! He’s a petulant little brat, much like YOURSELF.
February 24th, 2008 at 3:01 pmThe truth is the Republicans are afraid of politics, afraid of honest debate and open, honest elections. They are afraid because when we have them- they lose. All Republican election strategies revolve around reducing turnout and participation, because larger turnouts equal Democratic victories.
February 24th, 2008 at 3:05 pmBoth Kristol and Delafield are afraid they’ve created a monster in Obama and now wish that they had backed Hillary in the primaries as they think that McCain has a chance of beating her- what they don’t realize is that they have already had an effect on this year’s election…
8 years of neo-con mismanagement has convinced a majority of Americans, including more young people than in recent memory, that they have a stake and a say in this years election-
THAT participation is what scares the Republicans- and they are right to be afraid- they are over.
Pakistan’s recent election proves that when turnouts are large even electioneering and ballot-stuffing doesn’t work- that’s the politics of fear on the Republican side.
We will not be distracted, and we will work to elect Democrats in every district and precinct and the Democrats will win with such a large majority that all the Republican’s tricks and treachery will be useless.
No one is afraid of you cowering cowards or your boogey-men…
Deal with it, Dela- you too Kristol
The grand poobah of the PNAC agenda himself. Most Repubs don’t even know what the PNAC agenda is–Project for the New American Century–the Neo-Con plan to control the World by military, moral and legislative rule; run by the United States of America.
I thought that the One World Order was supposed to be the sign of the Beast and the Anti-Christ trying to take over the world. But they can’t mean THIS agenda, can they? Well, we are living in a Fascist regime under Bush right now, but most people don’t even realize it, nor do they want to know about it. They are too busy shopping and waving little stars and stripes flags that are made in China to notice that our US Constitution is being shoved under the Oval Office rug.

The Washington Post has been flooded for weeks now with these standard Clinton campaign talking points. I have no doubt that the Clinton campaign has “suggested” to volunteers that they parrot these empty insults throughout the blogosphere. It has become pathetic and comical to see these same ludicrous, scripted remarks over and over. Mark Penn dreamed up this strategy, and it is a colossal blunder on Clinton’s part for going along with it.

Again, your point seems to be that a lot of young people really like Obama and therefore he isn’t fit to be president… why does this disqualify him?
February 24th, 2008 at 3:44 pmMore to the point, why does young people’s disinterest and dislike of McCain and Bush recommend them?
It’s time you guys got serious… ’cause if all you’ve got is, “You can’t be President- too many people like you!” We’re going to win this in a walk.
BTW, “You’re too young and vibrant to be president!” is similarly flawed… What’s next?
February 24th, 2008 at 3:49 pm“Obama too intelligent to be next president?”
“Obama too good looking to be taken seriously?”
“Obama’s awesomeness driving Republican’s to distraction; why won’t America hate him?”
You sound like the Onion…
The Clinton camp shouldn’t be talking too much about Obama’s age, and how it disqualifies him for office.
If Obama wins the presidential election, he will be a about year older than Bill Clinton was when the latter was sworn in. Not to mention he would be older than JFK upon entering office, too.
(This one has got to be one of the lamest, saddest talking points I’ve seen as of late)
February 24th, 2008 at 3:51 pmI love that YouTube. It’s great to see people so involved and emotional. I have weeped for my country. If people can have positive emotions GOOD ON THEM! It has been seven years of doom and gloom and a downhill slide for everything American thanks to Bush and this rogue admin.
I like Obama more after watching. How uplifting to see that kind of emotional involvement. I have a huge smile on my face!
F’in secret service better get it together. We finally have a leader!

Clinton Adopts Harsher Tactics
In Fight for Ohio, Texas

February 24, 2008 3:38 p.m.
DAYTON, Ohio — Sen. Hillary Clinton ratcheted up her attacks on Sen. Barack Obama today, comparing his campaign tactics to those of George W. Bush and urging Ohioans to see past his momentum.
“Enough with the speeches and the big rallies and then using tactics that are right out of Karl Rove’s playbook,” Mrs. Clinton told reporters at a press conference today.
She clutched two negative fliers sent to Ohio voters by the Obama campaign that she says make false claims about her position on health care and trade agreements. “Shame on you Barack Obama. It is time you ran a campaign that is consistent with your messages in public. That’s what I expect from you,” Mrs. Clinton said….Mrs. Clinton said the fliers represent “the worst kind of politics” ….

That the person feeling faint was actually attended to or asked to be attended to, which is TOTALLY against EVERYTHING the dela-droids of this country stand for.

February 24th, 2008 at 4:37 pmA young woman who fell recently at a rally for Republican Presidential Candidate was initially thought to have fainted, leading some supporters to question McCain’s fitness to be Commander-in-Chief. McCain’s staff was quick to point out that the young lady was merely sleepy. A fact confirmed by the young woman herself, “I was up all night working on a term paper and his droning voice just slowly lulled me to sleep, I want to be clear that at no point was I moved to any emotion during the speech- I just didn’t get enough sleep last night.”
Perhaps our Clinton troll wants sexual “unappealness” to be a requirement for anyone considering running for the highest office.

(from the TP article)
That would be with candy, flowers and oil just as in Iraq, right? Would we have to invade to collect?

Well, that didn’t work very well either. we invaded, and now they’re collecting. $1.2 million a week to stop them from shooting at us. Pallets of hundreds flown into Iraq, disappearing without a receipt in sight.
February 24th, 2008 at 5:49 pmThere are evil people out there wishing to do us harm. Most democrats and liberals seem to be oblivious to this. They’d rather live in the Obama-cult where everybody’s a friend and people can sing Kumbaya and hold hands. Wake up. The world is not like that. Either they get us or we get them. Your choice. It’s not fearmongering when it’s based on reality.

February 24th, 2008 at 6:14 pmMy point is that if you want to vote with your genitals, then Obama is your man.

There’s a lot of truth in that, guess that’s why I voted for Clinton in the primary. But then, if you want to vote with your CHILDISH LIZARD BRAIN, McCain is YOUR ‘man’ (well actually GRANDPA), but man is close enough! ROTFL!!
February 24th, 2008 at 6:15 pmLooks like Sen. Clinton has adopted a quasi-politics of fear approach. But instead of focusing on Iran, she is equating Sen. Obama with Karl Rove:

ROTFL!! If by QUASI you mean NOTHING LIKE IT, then you’re right ExLax the human sh*t bringer! See if she was focusing on the politics of FEAR, she would have said Obama would cause the terrorists to attack, that’s what you FEAR MONGERING TARDS ALWAYS do, because REALITY is too hard for you to face (see, FrankM/Jake) or (delafield/MightyAphrodite) if you want a reference for the general stupidity of the GOP that you DON’T see CLEARLY IN THE MIRROR! ROTFL!

Heh. Nice one, katy. ;)
February 24th, 2008 at 6:42 pmInteresting how badly the GOP talking heads want Hillary to come back. Get a feeling they’re scared of Obama?
February 24th, 2008 at 6:52 pmKristol is just throwing BUSH-it on American people.
Politics of fear? It shows tht he is an undisguised member of the criminal gang running this country into disgrace!
February 24th, 2008 at 7:18 pmLike father, like son….
“Irving Kristol (born January 22, 1920, Brooklyn, New York City, New York) is considered the founder of American neoconservatism. He is married to conservative author and emerita professor Gertrude Himmelfarb and is the father of William Kristol.
Kristol was born into an Orthodox Jewish family, and had a bar mitzvah. However, he maintains that belief had nothing to do with his family’s observance. He earned his B.A. in History from the City College of New York in 1940, where he was an active Trotskyist. Before graduating, he met Gertrude Himmelfarb at a Trotskyist meeting, and they married on January 18, 1942…
Kristol suggests of himself, “Ever since I can remember, I’ve been a neo-something: a neo-Marxist, a neo-Trotskyist, a neo-liberal, a neo-conservative; in religion a neo-orthodox even while I was a neo-Trotskyist and a neo-Marxist. I’m going to end up a neo-that’s all, neo dash nothing.”
In July 2002, President George W. Bush awarded [Irving] Kristol the Presidential Medal of Freedom…”
February 24th, 2008 at 7:33 pmdelefield reminds me of Vernon in the Breakfast club.
Vernon: This is the thought that wakes me up in the middle of the night…that when I get older these kids are gonna take care of me.
Carl: I wouldn’t count on it.
February 24th, 2008 at 7:42 pm1)well judging by kristol’s track record,hillary should do the exact opposite of everything he suggests and she should be fine.
2)someone should coach kristol on how to correctly pronounce ahma…ajimena….the iranian guy’s name.
3)frank m is a prime example of the politics of fear at work on a fragile mind - you need to relax, frank.

It was very funny and it wasn’t at anybody’s expense, well maybe at Republicans but they’re not human.
February 24th, 2008 at 8:36 pmResistance to the Neocons is Antisemitic - that’s the scam the Neocons have been running
Why is there little to no serious discussion about the catastrophic neoconservative foreign policies and the wars this Bush’s neocon regime and warmongers like William Kristol have instigated? Why no public discussion regarding the greatest strategic blunder in American history?
The reason is thus - any such serious discussion or education of the public of regarding the neocons or their disastrous policies brings rubble-bouncing charges of antisemitism down upon one - as happened with Jimmy Carter with the publishing of ‘Palestine: Peace not Apartheid”.
Result - no discussion of the Neocons and no ability to defend ourselves against them let alone stop them or remove them from power.
Thus the Neocons have created the perfect defense for themselves - any resistance to the Neocons is Antisemitic - which is why the general public cannot get past Bush’s inane explanation of ‘Why they hate us’. William Kristol is a mass-murderer and should be on trial for crimes against humanity along with 3/4’s of the nazi-neocon regime running our country

February 24th, 2008 at 9:30 pmCakewalk Resolution of the Palestinian-Israeli Conflict - or - ‘How to Melt the Wicked Neocon Witch William Kristol’
Everybody knows the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is at the core of problems in the middle east - the Baker-Hamilton Iraq Study Group knows this, Jimmy Carter knows it, Pat Bucanon, Obama, Edwards, Kucinich, Ron Paul, Nader, Hagel, Feingold all know it and as a matter of fact everybody knows it. It is simply uncontested by any sane person that resolution of this conflict is at the very heart of peace in the middle east and the wars America is currently fighting and will be fighting in the coming months.
Guess what? - the solution was just sitting there in front of our faces all along and it’s a cakewalk - what America needs to do first is to exert tremendous and overwhelming political pressure on Israel - America needs to LEAD the international effort to put this UN-violating country back in it’s pre-67 box as demanded by the UN time and again rather than time and again VETOING that very pressure from the international community. Sure - conforming to these UN Sec Council Resolution 242, 194, 338, the Geneva Conventions, and International Law will be a pinch for Israel and just exactly what the Israel Lobby, AIPAC, and the neocons don’t want to happen - so what?
So what’s stopping us putting this pressure on Israel? - could the Israelis, her Israel Lobby, and her Neocons be stopping this pressure which is
