Former top Bush speechwriter Michael Gerson is a Washington Post columnist, and there is never a better time for right-leaning columnists to lean left than in the last weeks of an election season. (See George Will trashing Sen. George Allen in the last weeks of 2006.) His rant also may have granted Gerson a seat on CBS's Face the Nation on Sunday.
Gerson not only denounced Christine O'Donnell as a wacky candidate like Alan Keyes, he denounced "the childish political thought of the Tea Party." He insisted conservatives were like Bolsheviks. Bloggers like Michelle Malkin and talk show hosts like Mark Levin were "unhinged" against Karl Rove.
Gerson wants to suggest that the Tea Party people are unhinged in their rhetoric, and then he compares them to murderous Russian communists. Remember this the next time Gerson agrees with a liberal that Obama shouldn't be smeared with foreign associations.

They have never put the nation first.
They either like Christine or they don’t.
We can’t tell from their attacks.
It’s either truthful, or reverse psychology.
No one likes those people. My enemy of my enemy is my friend.
They know this.
If the neocons want the people to like someone, they attack them. They’re aware of their own detestability. Or they aren’t. How would you test this?
A campaign to blunt Palin in 2012?
She definitely is a threat to the elites. If anything, the Tea Party and the success of the candidates she has endorsed has made her their target.
She is the ultimate DC outsider, and that will be her draw by 2012.
Bush enacted the largest tax cuts in history — and unlike my personal hero, Ronald Reagan, he never signed a major tax increase into law.Hmmm. Where does the money for his new big socialist government prescription drug entitlement come from?
How about the new "Homeland Security" bureaucracy?
hmmmm maybe what she needs to succeed is over-the-top public outrage by Rove et al?
There's no liar lying like an angry man.
Gerson, Rove, Krauthammer - are all guilty of something that they hope we never discover. Their reactions to Christine O'Donnell's and Joe Miller's wins is proof that we ALMOST found out whatever they're hiding.
We already see this behavior with the liberal Dems, but we know that they have a hidden agenda for the country, which they lie about, day in and day out.
Their hidden treasons compel them to be angry at those they are actively betraying. Now, we're beginning to see the same behavior from establishment Republicans, which tells you much about them.
I don’t think we’re talking about the same “they”.
I’m not talking about the older established members. I agree that they’re giving out committee assignments.
I thought you were talking about the speaker of the house as 3d in line to the presidency, and I thought we were talking about who controls the Presidency.
Christine is 41. There will be 7 Presidential elections between now and the time she turns 70. She keeps her nose clean and stays likeable ... Well, they’re worried or acting worried.
Unfortunately, Krauthammer is not the man you think he is. He is an authoritarian elitist fascist who serves the globalists. And, he is an enemy of the Constitution and the Republic. Consider the following:
"Ultimately, a civilized society must disarm its citizenry if it is to have a modicum of domestic tranquility of the kind enjoyed by sister democracies such as Canada and Britain. Given the frontier history and individualist ideology of the United States, however, this will not come easily. It certainly cannot be done radically. It will probably take one, maybe two generations. It might be 50 years before the United States gets to where Britain is today. Passing a law like the assault weapons ban is a symbolic - purely symbolic - move in that direction. Its only real justification is not to reduce crime but to desensitize the public to the regulation of weapons in preparation for their ultimate confiscation." - Charles Krauthammer, "Disarm the Citizenry," The Washington Post, Friday, April 5, 1996, page A19
You are absolutely correct, I am sure and certain.
Wasn’t there some talk about Castle having a gay relationship.
Dad said way back in the fifties there were lawyers and judges in southern Indiana that had a support group that often decided cases, promoted each other etc because of hidden relationships or membership in the Klan.....Enough that many people moved away. Sometimes just to neighboring counties.
Are there similar problems that are being kept hidden in the GOP?
No, not really. It would just be random babble around that general issue. Gerson is a neocon. I did a google, he’s often been called a neocon, and it looks like freerepublic is taking the lead in calling him a RINO for some reason.
THEY control who the speaker will be....THe speaker is in line after the VP to assume the office of POTUS> If BO and BIden are both removed the Speaker becomes president....The president they chose.
The neocons are a small minority, but a majority of them are acting upset about O’Donnell. I can’t figure out if it’s sincere or not. Not even sure how to test for that.
To succeed, she needs to address her fellow Delawareans every day until Nov. 2 to get her message across.
She needs a huge voter turnout bu Reps,Indies, and what we used to call “Reagan Democrats”, ie those Dems that have not completely drunk the Kool-Aid.
It’s a ground game now—boots on the ground, door knocking, rallies, interviews,telephone calls.
If anyone knows anyone in DE and loves their country(pf course you do!) we need you to call thiose folks and get them to vote for Christine. Counter the lies and the misinformation—what you learn here on FR will give you the tools.
Remember==she will get seated on Nov. 3rd, in time for the Lame Duck Session.
Maybe that is why there is so much opposition.She will throw a wrench into the plans for THAT session of illegal governance.
I think you nailed it.
I've heard a rumbling here and there about that, but nothing definitive. Even if Castle did have some sort of homo dalliance way back when, it wouldn't be the sort of thing that would cause Rove, Gerson, and Krauthammer to savage O'Donnell as badly as they're doing.
They're hiding something much bigger, and much more diabolical, in my opinion.
Most like Bush himself were in fact quite liberal on many issues. Neither W nor Poppy had any use for anything other than Rockefeller Republicans. Bush wasn't that far off on policies then Bill Clinton. Rockefeller Republicans see Conservatives as a bigger threat to their agenda than hard core liberals in the Democratic Party. With Rockefeller GOP it's all about power and control of money. They like the DEMs think they know more about how use you money than you. They also like the Liberal DEMs could care less about core conservatives issues or values.
Rockefeller GOP simply uses the conservative agenda as a minimal usage leverage tool to gain enough support within the party to stay in power and maintain control of the party. Sad to say out of ignorance many conservatives allow this policy to continue. The DEMs make no pretenses as to whom they are ands what they stand for.
Thanks,lj. That makes two of us, at least. ;)
“There must be something really big at stake,....”
IMHO...its called the coming end of the Good Cop-Bad Cop con....the Rinocratic Party ...run by the “Ruling Class” has been operating this con since the 1930s. Probably the longest running play of this con ever.
Don’t forget he also called us vigilantes.
tf,well you were on a roll there!
I have been confused in the past by the term neocon, but it seems that the real meaning is becoiming more evident as time goes on.
