I actually agree with most of what you said, though I take exception to the way you try to twist this into "Obama and his supporters suck".

It was fixed pretty much right away, and I also have doubts that anyone connected to any campaign did it. I'd actually bet on it being some misguided adolescent conservative who wants to fan the flames in the democratic primary (like Bill Kristol).

I did note in the description that there's no evidence to back up what this guy says about who must've done it, though I did add a snarky "as far as I know" in there.

I posted this 'cause I thought people might find it interesting.

Kristol has it too, big time.

In reply to this comment by HaricotVert:
Why do all the most deceitful and lying politicians have this strange, perpetual, self-satisfying smug smile on all the time? It's like a trademark. Cheney being a notable example.

Could it be they are actually aware of how much bullshit they are spewing? Nah... let's not give them that much credit.

Kristol's amazing. In a column currently among the 10 most sent at NYT website, he actually criticizes Obama for what he calls "moral vanity". "Moral vanity", that's how a deeply immoral man slurs Morality.

I know what you're saying about Kristol. Born and lives with a silver spoon crammed up his crack.

Candidates in the tags refers to SOME, but not ALL of the presently running candidates whose campaign finances come directly as a result of this new American ideology. One could add Huckabee to that list.

Good concise video. I'd really like to punch Kristol in the face. Not really hard, but hard enough to make his eyes water. What a weasely looking guy. I'm a little puzzled by the candidates names in the tags though. What's the reasoning there?

Kristol is the bizarro-Gore, and has never made an accurate prediction or even assessment of the war in Iraq. He's also stated that he's all-for a war with Iran...

So I'm giving him the honorary Bamdrew War Prize, for asshats who love sending other people's kids off to die to keep the economy healthy.

Dag - would you feel the same way about David Duke? or Bill Kristol? or Noam Chomsky? or Karl Marx? or Adolf Hitler?

That's a *quality contribution ambassdor.

Kristol is pretty sharp. They broke the Neo-conservative mold when they made him.

when was this video first aired? Would like to know the temporal context.

Wanna say, NICE POST. Good find.

dang - I wanted to hear what Kristol was going to say about the draft.

"During a C-SPAN appearance this morning, Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol was confronted by a military wife living in Ft. Hood, TX, who called in to criticize him for “pushing the war.”"

This woman has issues with reality. She should get back to being irrational about more normal things.

Ivory tower chickenhawk neocon. Watch him squirm:

During a C-SPAN appearance this morning, Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol was confronted by a military wife living in Ft. Hood, TX, who called in to criticize him for “pushing the war.”

The woman explained the incredible stress of having her husband deployed in Iraq:

I’m sure when your head hits the pillow you have a luxury of dreaming about anything that your mind will allow you to dream about… I sleep with the phone under the pillow. My kids — if someone rings the doorbell, instead of normal kids they freeze. And they’re in elementary school. You all don’t understand. We are military people but we are people, too. And the stress that we are under is tremendous.

While she spoke, Kristol appeared uncomfortable, looking downward and scratching markings into a piece of paper.

The destruction of the fourth estate and push for militaristic American policy, we should have listened to warnings given by Eisenhower in his farewell address...

Neo-cons are currently fractured but at still omnipresent at hill, Elliot Abrams #2 at NSA still promotes the idea of democracy in the Middle East (linchpin of neo con agenda) however others have split over Iraq, Paul Wolfowitz has been keeping quiet since joining the World Bank, Douglas Feith helped plan US strategy for Iraq but now admits mistakes, Richard Perle has hit the Bush team for occupying Iraq and William Kristol faults Rumsfeld for putting too few boots on the ground. Looks like rats abandoning a sinking ship.

Openly gay Dem Barney Frank. IMO, he wiped the floor with the guy from the WSJ-- who had nothing but Bill Kristol-style lame jokes.
