Bill Kristol’s Conservative Suicide note unnerves Eric the RedState:
I knew the moment I found out he was having dinner with Obama that this would happen. A batted eye lash, a smile, and a shared meal gets you pretty damn far with Bill Kristol. Never mind that despite posing as a conservative for years, Kristol has been anything but a real conservative.
[...]
So that’s it — if Obama succeeds, conservatism is dead and if he fails conservatism thrives. Never was such brilliance expressed in the New York Times. But wait, it gets better. Obama’s speech was conservative, though conservatism is dead.
That makes such sense!
The fact is we know Obama’s economic policies are going to hurt. They will not help. His stimulus plan contains more money for grass seeds for the National Mall than for helping small businesses.
Liberalism never works. But batting eye lashes at Bill Kristol will apparently get him naked quick.
Okay, that naked part really wasn’t necessary. But what is to be done with William the Apostate? I mean he gave them Sarah Palin, the future Mrs Erick Naughty Secretary Erickson.
Sorry. This is business….
Apparently, like the Mafia, you can only leave the conservative movement in a body bag.
Somewhere out there, there is a pie made of Silly Putty with Bill Kristol’s name on it. Better keep the women and children indoors, this is going to get ugly. And fun.
Added: Heh.

Apparently, the rule is that real conservatives never get naked. Or something.
The comments on RS say it all (so I don’t have to). Especially this one from devCharles:
“I think Bill Kristol is the most universally disliked political commentator there is. The left doesn’t like him. We on the right see him for what he is. A shill for the highest bidder. I find him to be pedantic and vapid. I remember him describing neo-conservativism before on the daily show. Exact quote:
“It’s liberalism grown up style.”
What a tool.”
The “what a tool” is my favorite part. “Pedantic and vapid” is pretty good, too.
I guess Obama really is a uniter, not a divider.
Strike Farce. Its like the Dead End Kids meets the Michigan Militia, meets the Bad Seed, meets Red Dawn, meets Josef Goebbels. Or something.
“…I knew the moment I found out he was having dinner with Obama that this would happen.” But, wait, didn’t the entire clown car pundit posse have dinner with Obama that night? Does that mean they all have community-organizer cooties or whatever the hell killed Kristol? So, will they all STFU and play dead shortly? If so, Obama’s Kenya-Hawaiian voodoo packs a bigger punch that I thought.
Touche, Barack; now, about that brunch date with Juan Williams and Cokie Roberts: sooner rather than later, ‘mkay?
“…about that brunch date with Juan Williams and Cokie Roberts…”
Heh, I guess it’s “out there” now.
Jeebus, TBogg, the least you can do is get the guy’s name right. It’s
Airwick the Wedd. His parents were aware that “ick” is spelled with a “k”.
Ya know, if these conservative douchebags like Eric (and Hannity and Limbaugh, etal) would shut up for a minute and actually listen they might learn something from Obama. Looks like he got Kristol thinking.
So Bill Kristol isn’t a real conservative now?
They can’t keep ruling people out like this. They’re just lucky Reagan’s dead.
Looks like he got Kristol thinking.
You’re kidding, right?
Let’s Play Jeopardy!!!

Answer: Nothing
Question: What’s the difference between Red State Strike Force and Disgruntled Postal Workers with AK47’s?
Answer: The postal workers were employed at some point.
Our new president’s mind control powers are that awesome.
Fatheaded Erick named a new leper today? And it’s Kristol?
Suh-weeeeet!
Ok, I signed up just to say ‘gross’ I went to the RS website and read some of what was written there(like rubbernecking at the car wreck, I couldn’t help myself). Jeez…I have to go wash up….
Keep up the good work.
What conservatives need is Dr. Frist to step in and watch the video and then swear the conservative movement’s eyes were tracking a balloon. That would rescue them!
FDR! enough said!
What to do with him?
When someone invents a disinfectant strong enough to remove the road kill stench of PNAC death off of him.. I’ll worry about it.
Good Catch the Right Wing Blogosphere is going further Right it seems.
But what does the average worker care about tax cuts for the rich?
White Males the GOP base dominate construction jobs. Construction workers need work Home Depot a supplier of stuff used in home construction is laying people off.
The Home Depot job lay offs are a sign that White Males in Construction are not working.
The GOP standing for tax cuts and opposing the Stimulus package is not going to fly.
Provided that Obama gets off his butt and starts selling his Stimulus plan to the public!
Careful, or he’ll unleash “Operation Leper” on you:
XXXXX:
As Operation Leper progressed after the election, it became very clear that the chief culprit in the smears against Sarah Palin was Nicolle Wallace, Palin’s press person appointed by the McCain camp.
A dozen eye witnesses to her antics on the campaign trail contacted RedState. Most of them were confirmed. We don’t know why she behaved as she did other than to save her own skin at the expense of a decent women maligned by the press and handled incompetently by the McCain campaign. We do know she behaved badly.
Today, she admits to having a tingle run up her leg over Barack Obama. The whole thing is nauseating. I suggest you not read it lest you vomit on your keyboard.
Just to give you a taste:
Obama deserves our thanks for letting Republicans root for him, as well. He has created a space within his wide net of support for those of us who fought for John McCain’s candidacy by honoring the McCains at a dinner the night before his inauguration and by listening to McCain’s ideas on national security, climate change, and government reform. The Obamas have also returned the civility and warmth directed at them by president and Mrs. Bush in a way that sets this transition apart from others in recent history. This generosity of spirit has had a ripple effect throughout Republican circles. Two former senior aides to President George W. Bush said to me over the weekend, “I expect him [President Obama] to be there for eight years.” A former senior official of Bush’s re-election campaign predicted that he would contribute to Obama’s re-election effort. When I heard that, I said, “He hasn’t even been sworn in yet.” It didn’t matter. One former White House colleague who I ran into in a greenroom this weekend said, “I’m pleased with everything Obama’s done-it’s the press that’s driving me crazy.”
We must recommit ourselves to this: any Presidential candidate that hires this woman in four years will be rejected by the rest of us.
Sincerely yours,
Erick Erickson

William the Bloody was Never a real Conservative? The GOP in trying to rally the crazy 22%ers risk losing moderates. Not only that the Neocons might all stay home on election day.
Everyone in politics worries that the Religious Conservatives will stay home election day.
But without Bush pushing the Neocon agenda just who in the GOP today is rallying all of William the Bloody’s readers?
1/2 a percent of the vote could have swung how many close elections last election.
The 22%ers have nowhere else to go.
We can’t be sure that many members of the Red Stroke Farce are allowed to own/purchase weapons, but we can be sure they would be good American weapons, not Commie-designed, furrin-made AK-47s.
White Males the GOP base dominate construction jobs.
Where did you get that information? Only the project managers and owners are white, predominantly the workers were Hispanic. My oldest son was a project manager for KB homes in Seattle and during the immigration crazy days they raided his subdivision and took off 1/2 of his crew for being undocumented.
Millions of white trades men have left the construction field in the last 8 years, by using undocumented workers they could pay them anything, even minimum wage and get away with it. Many of the framers, drywallers and others just quit because they could not support their families at these cut rate wages. Quality trades were paid $15-20/hr to be cut to $5.15/hr……..
Air-wreck’s last line (the “he” being Bloody Bill):
Lots of American construction supervisors working in Panama now.
So William the Bloody is leaving the Times but not once has this *cough* Friend of Israel written about Saudia Arabia getting Nuclear Reactor Technology from America.

With Friends like this Israel does not need enemies!
Sorry Union Construction jobs
Thanks TBogg.
digg
Why the construction boom is it easy for Americans to work there? Or is it corporate construction jobs by big firms for a big project?
I gotta say Eric, “if Obama succeeds, conservatism is dead and if he fails conservatism thrives.”
So other words, according to the aholes over at redstate, American interests are antithetical to conservative ones. After all, if Obama (or any president of either party for that matter) succeeds, the country succeeds, to say the obvious. So shorter Eric, conservatives are traitors who wish to harm Amrica so that thir twisted ideology will attract more followers. If we were shrubbies, we might say we’ve found a new target population for Gitmo.
Maybe the FBI should raid the RedState list looking for machine guns.
How do you know that she won’t be the candidate for president and not vp?
Conservatism as defined by a political movement that helps the rich by seeking to divide the poor and make them fight among themselves.
I was going to type the very same thing, but wasn’t sure that what I see in L. A. would apply nation-wide. Applies to the Pacific Coast, at least.
And it’s another reason white doodz are so angry. If they’d realize that it was wealthy white guys who did this to them, for the sake of profit, instead of displacing their rage on “liberals enabling illegal immigration,” & the immigrants themselves, well … ah, it’ll never happen.
What’s funny is that the NYT is the wingnuts’ favorite liberal booger-man. Doesn’t seem like it should upset them that Kristol won’t be there. Now he’s free to write for some red-blooded American publication like the Washington Times.
well… their kind of rich at least. Mitt’s alternative stimulus package, now being widely embraced by the dark side in congress, is a case in point: besides breaking the unions and cutting taxes further (two of three core tenets of his package), he wants to prioritize spending on the military over spending on infrastructure. I guess ’cause he has a lot of arms dealers and weapons manufacturers buddies or somethin’ That pretty much sums up the moral character of Eric’s party. AHoles all.
Divide and conquer, suckaz!
Oooo…the O-man is good. I’m starting to think I need to learn how to play chess. Impressive.
High rises. Panama City looks like Manhattan. The American jobs are sort of teaching type jobs. High level, and running the safety/long shot positions. All of the workers are Panamanian, as they should be. No spray rigs for paint, that would cut workers. The Panamanian government is working to have a social network like we have (had) in the USA. Social security, medical insurance, etc.
Something about Panama crossed my view not too long ago, I think they are building condos for either vacationing or retired rich people in general/Americans.
For Norte Americanos who didn’t get in on the Costa Rica thing, or want a more urban experience. Or something.
Interesting it sounds like the government there is on the right track.
Panhattan?
Over at C&L they say the Times was getting tired of factchecking er after the fact. Bloody ok, sloppy not so much.
What a fricking surprise! Generating war profits…after they lost the fricking election after eight years of war profiteering. let’s hope this gravy train derails soon.
Ah, hazy recollections confirmed. I thought I’d seen images of a shit-load of glass & concrete boxes, but wasn’t certain it was Panama City.
Kthxby!
Thats a joke you should run articles in front of an editor and a fact checker before you get published.
Thats what I hope Jane does.
It sure would be sad that if the Times has less standards than the Lake:)
I assumed the NYT quit fact checking decades ago. Folks like Tom Friedman would be out on his ass if he was required to substantiate the garbage he writes.
True Media Matters might have a record of Tom Friedman’s hackery.
I just wrote a Bill Kristol as Sarah Palin’s unsuccessful Pimp column.
Gawd – I DO hope he isn’t coming to Alaska!
Oh, I know! But that’s the excuse. Four fact checks and you’re gone! And what about that plagiarism guy??? forget his name. anyway, facts are why I read blogs!
Ack! I forgot about that. Honestly, though, he deserves a place with temperatures as extreme as his opinions…
he actually said that this was a good idea ’cause our heroic wars have caused a lot of wear and tear on military equipment, clearing the way for a new generation of technologies.. plus he wants investment in the normal rethug golden cow – missile defense… not that the wars have stretched our military’s human resources to the breaking point, not that they’ve cost thousands of American lives, but that they’ve caused wear and tear on equipment his arms-dealer buddies want to peddle more of to us all. These people are unbelievable.
The Regulars will admit when they are wrong the Times the MSM in general are very quiet about when they are wrong.
I would like retraction for a wrong fact to appear in the same space as Bill’s next piece.
fixed it. he wouldn’t know whether he was in heaven or hell….
So does this guy.
********
” On the question of prosecuting officers who employed any of the “extreme tactics” that the Bush administration has acknowledged, without admitting to any “torture” of detainees: “I don’t think that there’s going to be a prosecution, quite frankly.” Gonzales said. “Because again, these activities…. They were authorized, they were supported by legal opinions at the Department of Justice.”

There’s really very little editing & fact-checking done w/ op-ed columnists, esp. if they’re actually employed by the paper. There used to be a certain expectation that even a nepotistic cretin like K. would have some common decency or sense, although you’d think The Times would have figured something out from his time at TIME©.
This actually worked out well for all concerned; Bloody B. was able to make The Times look bad by its letting him lie like a rug, & The Times was able to point out what morons the Kristol/Dicter family are, & by extension note the idiocy of the whole neo-
Stalinistconservative thing.I will miss Bill Kristol for one reason, he took a lot of heat off Maureen Dowd as the Times’ most reviled columnist.
” But instead of CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS or any other major American outlet, he’s speaking to Al-Arabiya, the largest network news provider in the Arab world. The interview is expected to air Monday at 11 p.m. EST, reports ABC’s Political Punch. “

Did Modo shift to the Right or has the country shifted to the Left and Modo has stayed the same?
I use to like her before Bush got in office.
Has the Left left Modo behind? Has the country followed Bush at 22% suggests that change has come. Huge change.
In all fairness to Eric, that is actually a funny line. I’ll bet Wolfie’s spit comb really makes Kristol swoon.
watertiger post hits the front page at the Mothership!
Governor Paterson, Say ‘Hello’ to Governor Cuomo.
Citizens around the world will be reading history books for years and decades about how these people came to power and did the insane things they did.
So Eric gets to determine who is and who is not a conservative? Wow, that much power in the hands of one person must be intoxicating. Eric, in case you have wasted any thought on it, I will place your mind at rest and relieve you of the responsibility; I am a liberal, so spend your time thinking about O’Reilly, Hannity, Beck, Savage, Limbaugh, Coulter and countless others – are they truly conservatives, or only seem that way in their passionate displays of paranoia and fear.
Correcting error:
Should be “Kristol/Himmelfarb,” not “Kristol/Dicter.” Can’t tell one nepotism of wing-nuts from the next.
meanwhile, kristol has accepted big hollywood’s offer to debate matt damon. now matt needs to accpet, for which he will receive $100,000 from big hollywood. i kid you not…
that is Obama…
Actually, I think sanity has left MoDo behind.
