"Baghdad" Bill Kristol Gets Punished In Washington Post Comments
John put up a couple of posts yesterday pointing to William Kristol's delusional OpEd, Why Bush Will Be A Winner at the Washington Post yesterday. Kristol writes at the beginning of his article:
I suppose I'll merely expose myself to harmless ridicule if I make the following assertion: George W. Bush's presidency will probably be a successful one.
Somehow, I don't think Mr. Kristol knew just how much harmless ridicule was headed his way, but The Post should have. As I write this there are some 124 PAGES of comments and after reading nearly 40 of them I could only find one or two individual posts that were supportive of him.
"Why is the Post printing anything by that idiot Kristol? Who's paying the Post to print this drivel?
"Criminy, kids hide your model sets Uncle Billy's been huffing airplane glue again."
"This piece was supposed to go in The Onion but missed their deadline."
"The 27% is slipping away from Bush and the GOP. Fortunately for Kristol, these are the goobers who buy the penis extension pills and baldness remedies advertised on Limbaugh's show. The point being that it doesn't take a lot to schnooker them.You really need to drug-test your contributors before printing delusional fantasies such as this."
"What bothers me most about Kristol's idiodic posting is that I encoutered it in th Washington Post. What are the standards? What would be too stupid to print in the Post?"
*Update: There are now 200 pages of comments and still, no love for Baghdad Bill...
Ouch.
First!
Kristol is a signer of PNAC (Problems for a New American Century).
He has a big interest in his drivel....
damn! haha
I think he should become Mayor of Baghdad and forced to live there.
So do you think the Washington Post will can the little pisher or is it a case of there's no bad press?
Bloody Bill is the poster child for the uberclasses' control over us. This guy couldn't tell you what day of the week it is and be right, yet he is somehow noteworty. quoted and revered.
No elected office, no bully pulpit except that given him by PNAC and its members. The worst kind of American!
With a hot poker, Mr Goebbels.
This will certainly show the Post.... that billy is getting a lot of page views. He'll probably get a bonus.
"What would be too stupid to print in the Post?”
I'd really like an answer to that, actually.
He views the world thru his rose colored glasses. The ones that hold his medication.
there is a video out there of bloody bill getting pwned during a question and answer session of a seminar he was doing at a college. i won't post the link because most of the ridicule comes from those 911 truth people. but its fun to watch his face get red, and all the questions aren't about 911 truth.
Sing it with me:
"Krystol blew" persuasion,
I'm of the "Krystol blew" persuasion
what fraction of the population is in the Bill Kristol camp? like 1/4th, 1/5th? Wtf is up with that bunch?
No comment needed. In fact the introduction "Bill Kristol said..." is practically a punch line in itself. Can the MSM get any more shameful than to give this blood thirsty boob a voice?
Perversely, this will only encourage the Post and Kristol.
You can't buy the kind of publicity this controversy gives them. If the Post is smart, they will use the Op-Ed page to showcase Kristol and his detractors, and sell lots more papers.
go there, add your voice! down with billy!
"... pesidency will probably be a successful one."
Sounds a little weak to me.
“This piece was supposed to go in The Onion but missed their deadline.”
Brilliant.
>I think he should become Mayor of Baghdad and forced to live there.
He's already Mayor of Simpleton.
Maybe Bu$h's Shiny New Liberry could go there tho, Laura could run it.
Maybe someday W. could work his way up to head shelver?. ..Nah he;d screw that up too.
He's a wanna be; George Will is a much bigger asshole.
This piece was supposed to go in The Onion but missed their deadline.”
Brilliant.
The last Eight frikken years should have just been a running gag in the Onion.
leftminded @ 17:
Actually, it sounds like Karl Rove was under Billy's desk, squeezing his scrotal sack while Bill was typing.
Anyone sucking that hard on the crack pipe has to have burns on his lips.
The sad irony of Bush's "presidency" is that he won't pay either the personal or political costs for his actions. They'll be passed down to the next guy/gal in line, to whom blame will be assigned by Bush's supporters (assuming, of course, that the next president is a Democrat. If it's a Republican, said supporters won't acknowledge any problems).
I read that WaPo editorial by Kristol and had a chance to view the comments before the article had been linked to the blogs...and still I went about 7 pages into them without finding one pro-Kristol comment before getting tired of reading. He's been wrong about everything and has zero credibility outside the neo-con network. It obvious that he and many others will find less work and pay once the republicans are fully out of the political decision making loop next year....Their circling the wagons trying to say anything that might help spark their tiny little base now...aint' gonna happen. But it will be fun to watch these duchebags scurry and squeal once their party has been setback a generation or two because of them and with only them to blame...
My comment...
Bill Kristol worked hard to push for and market the current Iraq Debacle.
He loves the carnage, deaths and the glory he feels it engenders him. Like a maggoty ghoul he continues to revel in the slaughter of other human beings.
We're probably up to nearly one million dead, as a testament to his hard work.
Why do we continue to glorify thise ghoul who's only purpose in life is to promote the genocide of people who aren't White Christians?
Do are tax dollars need to be squandered to produce another million corpses to glorify him with?
Is the Washington Post also feeding on the charnel? Is that why this ghoul is still welcome to publish here?
Do the editors dance in glee with every bombing and every dead serviceman, along with Bill (the Ghoul) Kristol?
Can SOMEBODY please pick up on this, and mention it in a segment or what?? These are the perfect instances of popular opinion being against just about everything king g has done. How is this not a bullet, not a deadly bullet no, but we cannot wait for those, they may never come, but let us at least point out these great inconsitencies in the GOP talking point crowd.
Yeah, Bill Kristol is just another in a long line of "rugged individualists" that comprise today's Republican Party Elite, like Rush Limbaugh, and Sean Hannity, and Dick Cheney, and George W. Bush, and Mitt Romney, and John McCain, and Jon Kyl, and that guy from Florida who tried to get a hummer from a cop in the men's room, and every other dough-faced gremlin you can think of.
My little calico cat is more rugged than these wimpish corporate whores.
"I suppose I’ll merely expose myself to harmless ridicule if I make the following assertion.."
He's do for some harmful ridicule - anyone have a cement chiffon pie handy?
I have to wonder after reading this opinion piece, does William Kristol know any real actual working people any where in this (the United States of America) country?
When I see the term, 'rugged individualist', I don't start thinking pasty doughy white skin. But that's probably just me.
I don't think these ghouls are ever exposed to any sunlight.
You guys just can't handle the truth, only neo-cons can, you just don't understand how the world works, only Struassians can see the bigger picture
:)
sarcasm aside, when a neo-con see's critisism they don't see it as a negative, infact it validates them, they feel that if people are critisizing them they are on the right path.
I occasionally post comments on Wapo editorials and find that most of the comments are negative to the article. Again I say, the left wing media is a myth. There is only an EXTREME RIGHT WING MAIN STREAM MEDIA (ERWMSM.)
Los Populistos @ 11:
Funny how "those 911 truth people" are the only ones THAT HAVE THE BALLS to ask this prick direct questions about why he is so wrong so often and "make his face get red " . Maybe you should give them a tad more respect if only for that reason .
Bizarro World
Personally, I think Kristol should put his article on the 1/2 hour new hour on Fox News because his assesments are always funny as hell and completely wrong! I always get a chuckle reading his work because it is so out of wack with reality.
Good for the commenters. The more, the merrier!
matt greer @ 27:
Read the following link.
http://myfightfordemocracy.blogspot.com/2007/07/new-declaration-of-indep...
Someone apply some spit polish to Bill's Kristol ball. It's not working!
Mr. Kristol, if you are lamenting:
(swirls thumb and forefinger together) This is the world's smallest violin and it's playing just for you...
the only thing bush will be winning is the title of worst president ever if he continues to listen to muppets like Bill Kristol, the man is delusional.I see he makes the "saddam-al qaeda" link in his WP piece, i'd like to see the evidence of such links since it's long been de-bunked any links between the two, has Kristol still not figured out that was one of Karl Rove's myths trotted out to gain support for the war, of course he does.
Can anyone believe this moron makes anything higher than minimum wage? - Is this a trend Im seeing here? Are all Ex-AIPAC members retarded?
Sweet Jesus, Kristol is delusional. No matter how low Bush sinks he supports him. What a fool.
How many times can this idiot boy king of a president screw up before Kristol gets it? Bush's approval rating is lower than Richard Nixon's.
Talk about delusional with a capital D. So very sad.
Bill Kristol proclaimed last Monday that the surge is working "better than expected." A chickenhawk himself who never served in the military, Kristol offered President Bush some martial advice in warding off his surge critics:
"When you find yourself in an ambush, attack into the ambush. Don't twist and turn in the kill zone, looking for a way to retreat. Especially when the ambush is not a powerful one, and the Democrats' position (to mix military metaphors) is way overextended."
For the details, see:
"Iraq Surge Wins Rave Reviews."
Instead of making another "World's dumbest criminals" they should make a world's dumbest Conservative contest. I would be hard pressed to pick a winner myself because the Conservatives have so many good ones but Kristol would definately make a good run for the title.
Kristol is so self centered. Any stupid idea of his is a "winner" to him
Thanks, Angry One@44!
You (and Bloody Bill) provided another good laugh today - Bill couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag.
Despite all the rhetoric, the timetable for withdrawal has already been set. The public was told that the "surge" basically had until Sept. to work, or our fighting men and women would be brought home. Despite all the spinning over the weekend, the "report card" released last week has been pretty much ingested and processed by a majority of the population as "negative". The Congress is in a panic. They don't really want to withdraw, and have provided the Pretzelnit coverage throughtout this sordid affair. Unfortunately for them, the unrest in the country is growing and you can see it clearly in the poll numbers. Even the most favorably worded polls on Iraq reflect a majority in opposition to continuing the war. Even the 27%ers are starting to waver, and they WILL change their minds on the war once it is clear that their position is untenable.
The only way to salvage this, for the White House, big business and all the other special interests tied up in the war are going to salvage this, is to expand the conflict. You've seen the articles today, about Cheney whispering in the ear of the idiot son about escalating the war. Something is going to happen, and it is going to happen fairly soon. It will happen well before the end of the summer. Funny how the schedule for the "surge" falls in "September". Just coincidence? I don't believe in coincidence.
How many carrier groups are in the Gulf? How much does it cost to maintain them? You think all that money is being paid for "show"?
How difficult would it be to stir patriotic feelings in this country in September? Especially around 9/11?
But of course, it's all speculation. In fact, couldn't happen...right? I mean...who'da thunk that someone would fly planes into high rises? A dirty bomb? Naaah! Bomb an airport? Truck bomb? Naaah! Suicide mission at a ball park? Naaaah! Crazy huh.
I mean, the public wouldn't actually go off the deep end over something like that...and support ANOTHER invasion of a foreign country...would they? Naaah.
I sent this to the editor:
Angry One @ 44:
And I wonder where Kristol got that bit of information? He must be reading his G.I. Joe comic books again. :lol: Besides, as it looks right now Bush and his neocon buddies are caught in a crossfire.
PNAC loves chaos, they can steal from the sheeple.
Ramone - Very nice!
William Kristol, the grandson of Irving Kristol who has been dubbed the "grandfather of the fascist neocon movement" is remaining true to his fascist roots! Bill Kristol's credibility is running dry these days though since his architecture via PNAC of this totally unsuccessful war is being made known. I'd be surprised to continue to see him on any credible MSM outlets in the days to come. (that is, if there are any credible mainstream media news channnels at all - I'm not convinced that there are).
Willima Kristol is a lockstep neofascist along with his comerades in PNAC: Richard Perle, Karl Rove, Dick Cheney, Paul Wolfowitz....etc. Google PNAC and see for yourself. What's more check out this website for further PNAC information:

Bill Kristol talking about combat tactics is like George Bush talking about world history.

I went to the site to read some of the comments but the only ones that would load were the ones on the bottom of the second page of his piece. If I clicked on any of the other nine or so pages of comments, I got nothing. Do you think they have shut the comments down?
In reference to the Lumbaugh ditto-heads:
A good friend of mine recently admitted to me that he had hated Al Gore and John Kerry. Then he stopped listening to Rush.
He can't even recall why he had hated them! He only knows that as long as he was listening he felt angry and hateful.
He said that he just started thinking for himself and saw the error of his ways. He now wants to see universal healthcare, an end to the Iraq Occupation and a president with a brain.
Go figure.

Finally! Tried to give you other url's but they're being blocked I guess.
Lying asshole whose particular fascist fantasy gets people killed... That's about all I got to say about Bill Kristol at this point.. What I'd like to do to him ain't fit to put in any blog anymore...........JD
Bush is/has been and will continue to be a 'WINNER'. He gets his job done - Just becuase he has a low approval rating from the population is not an indication of his success - He didn't steal his way into the fucking office to make you happy - BUT HE DID HAVE A REASON and although he is not sharing that with you he has almost 100% success in all HIS goals.
You cry baby citizens need to get your own guy in office and then he might represent YOU - But this criminal little Bush is a big big winner FOR HIS TEAM.
Grow up - He serves and serves very well - He just doesn't serve YOU.
As of 2:43 EDT, there are 217 pages of (99.9% negative?) comments. :)
Draft Bill Kristol for Baghdad!!! Good for the Washington Post readers to bitchslap Baghdad Bill. Bush sent his waterboy and King of Baghdad to spread the koolaid propaganda in an Op-Ed. And no one is buying Bush's beans about the progress in Iraq. And Kristol's column backfired on him. Another day another nail in the coffin for the Administration.
Success = Deaths
I would say that the definition of successful needs to be looked from the perspective of the neocons. For them, this has been successful. They have done everything they wanted to do and in addition, the precedents for public privacy and human rights have been changed. President Bush has put in place a system to again control this country. So yes, I would say that president bush was a very successful presidency for his ideologues.
Wouldn't it be fun to slip him some of that date drug, take a new photo album of his sex life so you could put a new one out each day. Him and Pat Roberts cuddling by the fire.
[...] Clark Link to Article george w bush “Baghdad” Bill Kristol Gets Punished In Washington Post Comments [...]

That was what I was thinking as I skimmed the WaPo piece!

Neocon push for chaos=Miliband brothers+Sarkozy-Kouchner-StraussKahn against Russia
in my opinion, we are going to see a massive neocon push to bring events to the breaking point=crisis and chaos, here in the USA by Lieberman ,Bloomberg,Schumer,Emanuel,Lantos ( and of course Kristol) and the neocon team at the White House,Bolten-Kaplan-Kellner-Wurmser ( they always work together from within the 2 parties) and in Europe by the new neocon team of David and Ed Miliband in the new Brown Cabinet and Sarkozy-Kouchner-StraussKahn in Paris and the IMF,just look at today's expulsion by English Foreign Minister Miliband of 4 Russian diplomats, before there is even a final investigation, the ultra neocon Miliband, a top askenazy-english in London and partner of Berezovsky-Kodorkovsky-Lebedev-Gusinsky-Kagolovsky-etc/. , this Miliband, Foreign Minister and his brother Ed are creating a mayor political rupture to push the conflict between Europe and the USA against Russia to crisis level, this is criminal and High Treason, but let's face it: which christian in the USA and Europe is going to stand up for common sense and Justice ? no one ! the neocons are bringing the world to the brink one more time, and no one will say anything ! this is what they did in 1914 and in 1936 and 1940 in Europe, they pushed one against the other playing from the 2 sides until war broke up, and their bankers, the Rothschild,Oppenheimer,Meyer,Lazard,Goldman,loaned to the 2 sides and all hell broke loose, after all, that's what THEY DO AND WHO THEY ARE ! , so , we must get ready for chaos and war, the neocons are loose again, this time they control the inside Govs. in the USA and Europe, horrible things will happen unless the Christian Americans and Europeans get together at once and stop these criminals for once and for all, and we know there are no christians to do the job, they are looking for the anti-diarrhea medication while they watch the games and eat the junk foods and suggary sodas /pizzas the neocons sells them ...and they will blame Bush too for the disaster, right now the neocon team in the W.H. is advising George to stand back and let the Miliband Mossad team start the conflict against Russia, and all so that the oligarchs Kodorkovsky and Lebedev, who stole billions from Yukos from all the Russian people,get free and their stolen goods back, its insanity, but again, we dont have any leaders, so all hell will break loose, the neocons are masters at that !
a detail of how good these neocons do their evil is that Henry Kissinger and a group of "experts" were in Moscow a few days ago to talk peace with Putin,and many don't know that Kissinger and the neocons above mentioned work together, so Kissinger told Putin: you are in deep ----, but if you do this and that and the other for me, i'll se what i can do to get you out of this international disaster, just do as i say !" , and this extorsion working the 2 sides is what Kissinger and the neocons have been doing for thousands of years, only a few political figures were able to see through the ------, and act accordingly and succesfully about it !
Ron @ 70:
Check out Cheney's portfolio. VERY SUCCESSFUL!!!
Why Bill Kristol is likely not a rational, intelligent, open-minded human being....
Let's take a step back and look at what has happened here:
Remove Bill Kristol's name, and even the controversial subject matter of this article, and you simply have an opinion piece published in a respectably (and presumably) non-partisan newspaper. The tremendous outpouring of nearly universally negative comments cannot be dismissed and speaks quite forcefully to the author's objectionable opinions.
To any rational, intelligent, open-minded human being, this would be cause for reflection on what you had written and why there was universal objection to it.
How do you think Bill Kristol will react to and interpret the response he's received? Is there anyone who really thinks this will impact his perspective or even make him stop to question himself for the smallest fraction of a second?
I see this episode as a critical litmus test on the soul of Bill Kristol. Will this get through to him or will he continue to live in his little bomb sheltered world?
We should know by mid-week (in case there was ever any doubt).
Joe O. @ 50:
Whoa! where did MY comment go?
[Uh-it's just above this one...Sitemonitor]
John Peters, use some paragraph breaks please. Its hard to follow long comments with no breaks.
I'm kind of happy that I posted on page 14th of the WP comments :) I never thought it would get the legs it did with 200 pages of good folks speaking up for sanity. The problem is it might encourage the Post to continue showcasing Bill in a perverse logic that only values controversy. However, it's probably still for the best since Post leadership has got to be getting the message about how unpopular this war is. All things considered, the good of this outweighs the bad.
Kristol is a lost cause. I don't give a damn what he thinks. He is partly responsible for one of the worst foreign policy disasters of all time. The only good that might come out of this is that people inside the beltway may get a fleeting sense of how the rest of the country feels about the ongoing debacle and its pig-headed supporters.
Jeremiah @ 75:
You should post this at the Post and send it to their leadership as well. Heck, send it directly to Bill.
Aaaand, breaking news, well up here anyway.
The british are to withdraw 500 troops the next few weeks, then pull out the remaining 5000 (4500?)as soon as they possibly can.
Okay, let me try again.
You may recall that in the marketing phase of the run-up to the Iraq War, several Chickenhawk-Neocons referenced Tsun Tsu 'Art of War'.
I'm guessing that "Art of War" was requisite reading for signatories of PNAC. It is a classic book on strategy and to any
chickenhawk/neocon/fraumanner, it must be transcendant.
I would encourage everyone to read it.
pissed off patricia @ 56:
it would not surprise me if howie kurtz or the blog editor is shutting it down because of the volume and tone of the commentary.
Kristol is a moron. He and coulter should run away together - far far away - honeymoon is South Waziristan maybe where they could wave American and Israeli flags.
The best bit was his suggestion that if GWB hadnt invaded Iraq, we, the united states, would have removed the sanctions by now. So denied his war, Bush would become best friends forever with saddam? This will go down in the annals of israeli shilldom as their finest hour.
Radically Moderate @ 83:
They referenced it, but they don't understand it.
Sun Tzu tells us that an invading nation cannot win a protracted war of occupation. He explains that the invading nation will always be bankrupted and must withdraw in defeat.
Read it.
After reading some of the posts e.g. "penis extension ads on Limbaughs show" I really marvel at the immediate focus, clarity and intelligent discourse that liberals are able to fire off at a moments notice. "Bloody Bill" should be looking for another line of work because the gunfire won't be abating anytime soon.
bubba @ 86:
Actually, the UN was discussing the removal of sanctions. A UN Peacekeeping force would stay in Iraq, along with the inspectors. Further, there was talk that the UN would monitor elections.
There were indications that these talks with Saddam were going well.
Guess what the kicker was? It would involved public bidding for contracts to maintain the oil fields. Halliburton would've lost its UN mandate to be a no bid contractor.
Weaseldog @ 87:
You are correct. Rumsfelds' actions contradicted several of Tsun Tsus' strategies.
However it did not stop them from referencing the book, as I stated.
I stand by this previous post

PNAC: Poopyhead Neocons Are Closeted
William Kristol, along with other notables, such as Richard Perle, Wolfowitz, Cheney. Armitage, Libby, and many others (I have just mentioned a few recognizable names.) along with the two that are flying UNDER the radar, James Baker and George lHerbert Walker Bush, are the architects of all that is happening now, the CLEAN BREAK POLICY and the PNAC (Project For A New American Century.) and Americans, for the most part are blind to it.... and they have used their very own "Manchurian Candidate," the simplistic mind of George W. Bush to put it all into action.
Kristol is, without a doubt, responsible for all of the death and carnage that has occured, in Iraq, for the past four years. He should be held accountable and, intime, legally arrested, tried, convicted and sentenced, for Treason against the United States of America, along with George W. Bush.
I left that nugget at the WaPo response forum for billy KKKristol
oh yeah!
235 pages of comments. I counted 5 favorable in eight pages of reading
Bill Kristol is a Neo-Conservative. The NeoCon ideology is inspired by the same anti-liberal roots that gave birth to Fascism in Europe in the 30s. (For instance, Leo Strauss, godfather of NeoConservatism, was a fan of philosopher Heidegger who was a member of German Nazi party as well as Nietzsche.
NeoCons are nihilistic elitist who see themselves as destined to rule over the masses who they see as too wicked to deserve and handle real freedom. They advocate plain lying to the public if it fits their agenda. They advocate that might makes right in all matters, and see themselves to be above such trivial things like laws. That stuff is there to control the wicked.
So basically, NeoCons believe in DISHONESTY, ANARCHY FOR THEMSELVES, POLICE STATE FOR THE PEOPLE, RELATIVE- or NO MORALITY, and they are opposed to the ideals of individual freedom that America is founded on.
They are traitors to America, and Americans better see them for what they are soon, because they are still in power.
Well, it looks like we've come full circle here, folks!
We are commenting on comments now.
We should go back to the Post and see if they are now commenting on these comments.
We'll play ping pong.
Now seriously... pundits and hosts of those chatfests need to challenge ol' Billy more often. The shit he says is unbelievable. These shows need to put on people similar to those commenting (here at at the Post) to challenge this asshole. He needs to be interviewed by Olby, Shuster, and that pissed-off-looking dude on CNN (with Wolf)... guys like that to put him in his place... it usually doesn't matter anyway because Kristol and Hannity (and O'Reilly, Beck, etc) like to repeat talking points even when a guest (or another co-host) calls them on their twisted logic, and even if they concede the argument, they'll repeat the same talking point the next night... knowing full well they're full of shit.
Thanks C&L & Logan for the post!
John @ 108:
I've seen this joker on The DAily Show with Jon Stewart and Jon wipes the floor with him and Billy sits dumbstruck and acts like "poor, poor, pitiful me" and whines about getting verbally beat up...

Wow. And E. J. Dionne, also from the WaPo, thinks we should forgive and forget David Vitter's peccadilloes in light of his fine performance as a legislator. . .an' why you all pickin' so much on Republicans, anyhoo?
Think WaPo is biased, much?
Update: It's up to 238 pages, and I may have pushed it to 239 with mine.
Okay. Everybody say it with me now. Israel. Israel. Israel. Neo-Cons, Neo-Cons. Neo-Cons. Feith, Wolfowitz. Kagan. Murdoch. Lieberman. Libby. Pearle. Kristol. Safire. Abrams. Fleisher. Edelman. Chertoff. Kissinger. Israel. Israel. Israel. Iraq. Iraq. Iraq. Iran. Iran. Iran. Syria. Syria. Syria. Russia. Russia. Russia. Israel. Israel. Israel. Shake off the brainwasing from the last 50 years. Come on folks. You can do it. If it looks like a piece of poop, and it smells like a piece of poop, it is a piece of poop.
Once more the pnac pundits are trying to justify the criminal activities of their chosen leader,who will go down in history as one of the most uninformed and ill advised in the history of this country.We can't get these idiots out of here fast enough.This bunch of fascist wannabes need to be taken down as soon as possible.Time to impeach,indict and incarcerate!
LibertyLover @ 109:
Remember right before Colbert did the 2006 WHPC dinner, he had Kristol on his show and immediately brought up his PNAC past?
Why do I have to watch comedy shows to get the straight dirt?
Might I suggest that the best thing to do is IGNORE, IGNORE, IGNORE kristol! Don't read him and if you have to comment... email the media where he appears and tell them that you are boycotting kristol... as far as you are concerned he doesn't exist. You will not read the paper he appears in, nor will you listen to any TV/radio station he appears on. Let him talk to the wind.
The comments are an obvious astroturf campaign organized by George Soros and moveon.org: A tale told by idiots, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
"What bothers me most about Kristol’s idiodic posting is that I encoutered it in the Washington Post. What are the standards? What would be too stupid to print in the Post?”
That about nails it.
WAPO is a rag and Kristol a soiled Kotex.
When I posted my comment, it was up to page 95. It is now up to 244 pages. I must admit to not
having read all 244 pages. But what I did read wasn't any too flattering of either William the
Bloody or of WaPo.
Neither deserve any flattery.
I agree with Billy (because somebody has to!), particularly in regards to liberating IraN. I say we declare war on IraN - oh, screw that -
1) Just send the planes over, and make sure Billy is in the lead plane.
2) When the lead plane is entering Iranian airspace, direct Billy to the bomb bay. When he asks why the bomb bay is empty, pop the hatch open and wave goodbye.
3) Return to base and sue for peace. To sweeten the deal, we'll throw in Billy; indeed, we already have.
Everybody wins. Just think about it.
1) Billy gets his war.
2) The IraNians get organic fertilizer, or issue a citation for littering - their choice.
3) The world gets a whole lot less of Bloody Little Billy.
Had a flick through the comments (up to 248 pages now).
Happened to a Bloody Defender on the bottom of page 240. Interesting comments.
interstingly insane, that is.
Good to know that the majority of people reading the post aren't complete nutter. And there's hope for US yet...
[...] need to write a post about this, just check the article commentary and reader comments on William Kristol’s Bush-Worship Can you say “sycophant”, [...]
Billy boy should be in prison.
The only problem is he'll probably take to it like Waylon Smithers in a Turkish prison.
Here's what I posted on William Krystal on the Post.
Feel free to fire away at it.
William Krystal should be fired outright by any who publish his insane scribblings. His war cheerleading has been the worst since William Randolph Hurst during the 1890's. So now we're in a quagmire where we can't seem to move foreward or backwards without losing American lives.
Only in America can someone who's so obviously muddle-headed can be considered a thinker just because he's wealthy.
Billy Crystol is funnier, but just barely.
On the plus side, some people say Krystal does a simply fabulous Truman Capote imitation.
WIlliam says: "What do we see? First, no second terrorist attack on U.S. soil -- not something we could have taken for granted."
Congratulations Bush! Only one worst terrorist attack ever on US soil. That is something to be proud of!
posting comments is good,
cancelling subscriptions is better,
contacting advertisers is best.
if the post and other media outlets can continue to profit by printing drivel, even if the readers attracted to it are outraged, they will continue to do so. once enough people refuse to contribute to the idiots' salaries, they will be dropped faster than david vitter pants in a french district brothel.
no love for Baghdad Bill…
The guy has more money than everyone in this thread combined. Do you think he gives a shit what anyone says about him, publicly or otherwise? Come on, people, wake up already.
boosh's legacy will be the worst attack on US soil in our history.
Don't give the a-hole any page hits. It just encourages him.
Gotta love Bill's redefinition of imperialism: "extend its benefits to neighboring countries"
Kristol, as usual, swims in the muck with his distorted views on the progress of Iraq, which, if you think about it, is typical of the monster. Yes, monster. The guy is a villain whose voice needs to be shoved back where it belongs--on the fringe of the far-right newspapers, not in places like Newsweek.
Here is a bet for Kristol. If he thinks Iraq is going to be such a great place in the future, why doesn't he agree to stay there--without protection. I will even give him a deadline: Five years. In five years, when things are running better in Iraq, you and your entire family will have to live there for six months. You will have to travel to different provinces and take in the delights of what our country did to those people, people who didn't deserve this death and destruction in their lives. And most key, you will have to write articles for the local newspaper.
If you can't agree on this, then shut the fuck
up.
The thing is, he will never agree to something like this, because he knows deep down the place will still be a sectarian mess. Earth to Kristol: The sectarian violence is here to stay. All he is is a wordsmith who pontificates badly. Pity.
