It was Bill Kristol's idea



Whose brilliant idea was it to make Bill Ayers the focus of McCain's campaign during this disastrous stretch run for the Republicans? It was none other than neocon ideologue Bill Kristol. Heading into the last debate, he convinced McCain to talk about all the "unsavory characters" Obama's been palin' around with, rather than focusing on all this "economic stuff."

By unsavory, Kristol means leftists like Ayers and me, from back in the day. Ironically, Kristol, the "far right's loudest barking dog," is himself a "red-diaper" baby, the son of Trotskyite-turned-neocon, Irving Kristol. Irving was one of those from the far left who, at some point (like his son) decided that liberal was synonymous with commie and both deserved as big a dose of McCarthyite purging as possible.

McCain campaign, R.I.P.

  1. Hi Mr. Klonsky,

    Today's National Review article on you: http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=OTQzMDIxZjlmMTM5N2ZhNzlmY2IyZDYxMWQ5NjQ2NDM=&w=MA==

    Just a heads up... I'm sure you don't follow the aptly named Andrew McCarthy too closely. :) The piece is generally hackish and alarmist. I don't bother with him generally, but was asked to look into it as my husband's dittohead co-workers are chattering about it.
