An absolutely silly argument for deciding if someone is conservative or not.
Anyway, Kraut is ok but he comes off sometimes as a elitist Harvard type which can be annoying. He's no fan of Palin but not everyone is.
I base my opinion on his views.
And I note incidentally that his demographics read like a stereotype of the perfect Liberal. Of course, he's not homosexual, but if I were casting a sitcom and wanted a character to be an obnoxious Liberal, I think disabled Jewish Canadian psychiatrist would fit the preconceptions of about 80% of the population.
