Trust me, every time I see Jon Stewart tearing Kristol a new asshole I wish I were the one doing it but Kristol would never waste his time with a minor league blogger like myself because he gains nothing by the effort.JBWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13293642610215334516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5428824763182540039.post-81139417443319311432009-07-05T20:56:30.135-07:002009-07-05T20:56:30.135-07:00Original David,

Wright are playing to a paying audience, so it's hard to know what they believe in their hearts and what they say to sell their brand. Likewise, I think that Don is probably not quite as stupid and crazy as he comes off online. It's clear that he'd like to be something more than he is and that he sees his blog as a vehicle for getting to where ever that may be. But Don's brand of crazy is not very far out compared with the people that Fox puts on the air 24 hours a day. He's not likely to incite any domestic terrorism.<br /><br />But a lot of discussion seems to focus on Don and to talk about him as though he's an important representative of (neo)conservatism or of the Republican Party, which he isn't. He's just another yahoo with a blog. (Sorry, but...) Most of the folks at PNAC are neither stupid nor crazy, whether or not one agrees with their ideas. Unlike Don's their ideas have real impact and should be taken seriously and engaged with, no matter how strongly one may disagree with the ideas themselves. <br /><br />That Kristol is the hand up Palin's ass makes Palin something more than just a late night comedy punch line. Just look at W to see how far these guys can get with a folksy charismatic puppet.<br /><br />Unfortunately Don and Palin aren't the real neocons or the real GOP. If it was just them, the rest of us could relax, laugh, and go about our lives.The Original Davidnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5428824763182540039.post-52663384191612586842009-07-05T12:40:25.411-07:002009-07-05T12:40:25.411-07:00If you don't know Don or read him regularly I ...If you don't know Don or read him regularly I would assume that it makes them harder to read.

I mean, every time I hear someone say "I don't want to sound like a racist," I know they're going to sound like a racist. I try to take people at their word, but it's harder when that word is "NTTAWWT.")Benjamin Blattberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03163091516093037765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5428824763182540039.post-43845677785451338962009-07-03T16:37:58.205-07:002009-07-03T16:37:58.205-07:00And I'm sure Don would find a way, ex DLB.
