Andrew Sullivan used to be one of the strongest supporters of the Iraq invasion. Back then, he was lionized by a lot of Freepers. Unlike them, I never supported him - not then, not now.

Sullivan got unhinged over gay marriage. It's hard to even have an argument with him now (I don't see a space on his new blog site for readers to post responses).

Columnists -- public scolds -- are so keen on finding others to blame that they don't see how they fit into the picture themselves.

So David Frum, once keen for war as well, chronicles the administration's failings without noting how much of a role he had in them.

This should have been included in the posted excerpt, as it is the meat of the story...

It's staggering to me that military donors are supporting the two clearly anti-war candidates in the race. I know that's a message The Weekly Standard doesn't want to hear.

That is, B. Hussein Obama and Ron Paul are leaders of contributions from ACTIVE-DUTY military, as well as overall military contributors.

I know the Weekly Standard gets blasted a lot by FReepers for being too liberal, so it's funny to think they would get any support against the conservative Ron Paul, but it seems that FR has lots of big government, neocon (liberal) members now.

They despise him more than the left because he represents a different kind of conservatism

...yeah the liberal Blame America type of conservatism

>> They despise [ElRon] more than the left

That’s Not True!

I despise ElRon and the left equally — no favoritism here! I despise fruit-boy Sullivan the same amount too.

Which is to say, I despise them all, collectively, a WHOLE BUNCH.
