I actually caught this while flipping through news stations today:

Bill Kristol: "I Recommend The Politics Of Fear"
Think Progress | February 24, 2008 12:40 PM

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: 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.

1. I watched that...even the other panelists thought his idea sucked...

Truly, this just doesn't work on the Dem side. Taking advise from Krystol about ANYTHING is about as dumb an idea as I can imagine. In this case, even the other right-wingers and the Token Dem (Juan Williams) thought the idea sucked.

2. Clinton has already done this. She's been playing the 9/11 card

She did it yesterday and we'll probably see more of it.

4. Only works when there is a recent national crisis. 9/11 has faded somewhat ()

[Thrill]

6. Not another Hillary? How many is that now?

[Emit]

8. This is less about Hillary

than most Hillary posts in many regards

[Adelante]

7. She's been running a fear campaign

It hasn't worked for her.

9. I wonder if the news today is her campaign's attempt of a fear campaign

Muslim="be afraid"

Why is he still on the national stage? Why isn't he run out of town on a rail? He's the HEAD OF PNAC. The Iraq invasion was HIS BABY. God I loathe that worthless POS.
