Bill Kristol is even worse than Pat
Kristol is the most dangerous commentator on TV today.
Dangerous because of his calm well thought out delivery.
Wrong about EVERYTHING for 10 years and still propped up by certain TV networks as some kind of opinion-maker.
Who is still listening to this guy? and Why?


Pat at least laughs and hints at just how screwed up his ideas are.
Kristol is the last true believer, and he is smooth enough to sell it.
I wish it wasn't true, but I fear that there are still too many out there lapping up his bullshit.

7. He just inherited the mantle of neoconism. Not a self made intellectual. Just a pundit.
And not a good one at that.

4. He's a smart, articulate version of Buchanan with better manners. Smart as a whip. nt

5. All neocons (like Kristol) are worse than paleocons (like Buchanan).
Plus, paleocons aren't infiltrating the Democratic party, neocons are.

6. What do the likes of Kristol, Buchanan, Norquist, *, et al. have in common, pray tell?
They are the sons of privilege. Trust fund babies with a huge sense of entitlement based on legacy trying to sell it as meritocracy with their thumbs on the scale.

8. He has been proven wrong about EVERYTHING for more than 10 years.
In 1992 he predicted NAFTA would transform America and create a gazillion US jobs. It would eliminate illegal immigration, create a booming middle class in Mexico, and our trade deficits would vanish overnight. I'm exaggerating of course, but you get the idea.

10. Kristol spouts off his crap with a straight face
At least everyone knows Buchanan is wacked. Maybe we should start calling him Wackchanan. (I hear by copyright that and anybody that uses it owes me a dime for each time they say it)

11. He is probably the primary mover who brought us Sarah Palin--and
he is still pushing her.

12. Kristol is a lot more than a commentator. His fingerprints are all over Clinton's healthcare demise
And along with his PNAC buddies, helped throw us into the Iraq War. He's dangerous and you're correct that his manner of speaking is deceptive.

13. If Kristol was the last true believer ...
the nonsense would be over.

BTW: If YOU believe he's smooth, you're something of a believer YOURSELF.
