Way to go! Can't wait to e-mail the world tomorrow and sit back and watch the fun!
Andrew Sullivan makes about as much sense as Howard Fineman, which means, none.
I still remember when Sullivan was something other then yet another Democrat shill.
I see Andrew must have received the Democrat talking points. He's the third one I've heard about tonight intimating that Zell is a racist.
You know, I think Zell Miller deserves an honorary Viking Kitty of his very own. His speech was the best dang ZOT I have ever seen! I smelled ozone right through the tv screen!
It SHOULD have called him a traitor. He met with MY enemies the NVA, and Viet Cong. Nam' 67-68 THEY WERE MY ENEMIES....
Oh the venom.
Zell hit the democrats where it hurts, with the undeniable truth.
that donkey on hia web page has turned into an elephant; it must be a convention decoration.
"I kept thinking of the contrast with the Democrats' keynote speaker, Barack Obama, a post-racial, smiling, expansive young American, speaking about national unity and uplift."
Yes, indeed Andy-boy. Obama is such an epitome of moderation and reasonableness that he voted against a law to protect infants who survive a botched abortion attempt. All the reason, moderation, and moral compass of Osama bin Laden.
Sullivan is a sadly confused man. He liked the first night's speeches by Giuliani and McCain, a lot. He claims to have agreed with them. And now he trashes Miller for saying the same things in stronger terms.
Of course, because Sullivan is so stupid as to fall for Obama's lies instead of looking at his record, which is dangerously liberal. According to one of Obama's proposed bills, convicted murderers who did not confess could NEVER be executed. Think of the utter illogic and stupidity of that proposal for a start, and then seethe as you reveal the ultra left-wing activist within Obama.
In contrast, Miller spoke the TRUTH--one which most Americans are coming to realize every day--that John Kerry is a serial pacifist and dangerous appeaser who would put this nation at risk if President. Sullivan reveals his immaturity at focusing ont he messenger instead of the message, and in falling for rhetoric and illusion over a forceful telling of the truth.
Really, he wants to marry his boyfried?
Doesn't he live in Massachusetts where HE CAN MARRY his boyfriend?
For Sullivan homosexuality trumps war and peace, all his martial, patriotic statements post-911 notwithstanding. Over the years I've spied on occasion a deeply flawed character beneath Sullvan's formidable intellect. This whole thing about gay marriage has just brought those flaws to the surface like never before.
I'll never read him again, and I'm quite content. I know who he is now, and I'm not interested any longer in what he thinks.
I agree completely with all of this.
Sullivan should be too smart to make gay marriage the
centerpiece of his political thinking, but unfortunately
he seems to do exactly that. And I do think there is a flawed character there. Sullivan understands intellectually the pre-eminence of the war on terror and Bush's superiority on the issue. But he won't let it trump gay rights.
LMAO! Rats are getting desperate. I'm not a member of the Zig Zag fan club here on FR but I will say that if there's one thing Zell is NOT, it's a Fritz Hollings-type Dixiecrat.
I hate to break the news to the RATs but any segregationist RAT who abandoned the party did so in the 60s and 70s when the civil rights movement was still going on. (actually most of them couldn't stomach ANYONE in the "party of Lincoln" and just ran around in third parties for a while and then returned to the Dem plantation in the 80s, see George Wallace, et. al.) Second, any conservative Dem who actually CROSSED OVER to support the GOP left their racist views at the door. Storm Thurmond voted against civil rights legislation as a Dem, but never as a pubbie.
Identify the Dixiecrat:
DemocRAT SENATOR A: 
-- Supported Harry Truman-type moderate Dem, pro-civil rights agenda --Believes in equal rights for all --Never joined any racist organization --While still a Dem, renounced any racist remarks decades ago --In 1993, pushed to have the Confederate emblem removed from the state flag --Pushed to confirm all of the President's judges, regardless of race, color, or creed, said the President nominated judges that "looked like America" --Off the sothern Dem plantation, endorsed Bush for President --Recent quote: "Never in the history of the world has any soldier sacrificed more for the freedom and liberty of total strangers than the American soldier. And, our soldiers don't just give freedom abroad, they preserve it for us here at home."
DemocRAT SENATOR B: 
-- Opposed Harry Truman-type moderates pro-civil rights Dem, accused them of betraying the party at the time and causing a "throwback to race mongels" --Believes in special rights for certain individuals --Grand Klegal (Official Klan Recruiter), KKK, 1941-1943 --While still a Dem, and after he "left" the KKK, spent most of the 1960s continuing to praise the KKK and against civil rights --In 2002, achived his lifelong dream of getting a cameo as a civil war era slave owning general in a "historic epic" made by Ted Turner --Only Senator in history to vote against BOTH blacks ever nominated to the Supreme Court-- one a liberal Dem and the other a conservative Republican --On the sothern Dem plantation, stands behind the old slick talking white southern Dem establishment as personified by John Edwards --Recent quote: "There are white niggers. I'm going to use that word. I've seen a lot of white niggers in my time."
about all of eFing's trips to Paris in 1971...
