Wm F Buckley Jr supported McCain in the primary. Does the Author know this?

Apparently not. I just don’t get his point. At this same site, they trash certain parts of Mark Levin’s book.

The author is ill-informed. And doesn't know very much about the real world. I give it a D-.

I have disliked WIlliam Buckley since meeting him at a PEN event (3authors reading)in 1986. I know he founded the movement, but he was so fatuous and patrician and so didn’t get it. I remember that Norman Mailer, who was one of the writers, introducing him in a terribky insulting way....”eventhough he’s a conversative, he’sintelligent” or “oneof the only conservatives who is intelligent” and Buckley just accepted it — instead of coming onto the stage saying: “this exemplifies what is wrong with discourse in the US oday, and the degree to which intellectuals marginalize anyone with a dissenting voice.”
