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.

I’ll raise you 20 years to around 1913, with Wilson and the Progressives: 16th Amendment, 17th Amendment; Federal Reserve, etc.
The train went off the tracks then, and I’m surprised the Republic is still around.
We can’t let it disappear. God still has an angel in the whirlwind, wouldn’t you agree?
Here’s another link on this issue.
Pat Buchanan is well known as a “paleoconservative”
He calls O’Donnell a Tea Party Princess. I think he means that as a compliment.
And he wails on the neoconservatives for bashing Christine

It’s as though all those wacky conspiracy theories are right or something.
I think they can see the light over the horizon.
And the shadows being cast look like torches and pitchforks. ;)
I'm glad you see the light. I used to read Krauthammer. I could see he really despised conservatives. I still agree with some of the things he says but I'll never trust him. He's an establishment RINO --- period. And he never takes sides against them.
Doesn’t every house member get to vote for speaker?
Anyway, that’s not the main concern anyway.
"To the Republican establishment, tea party people are field hands. Their labors are to be recognized and rewarded, but they are to stay off the porch and not presume to sit at the master’s table".
And what O’Donnell did, with her amazing victory, is to imperil that establishment’s return to power. That is why these Republicans went ballistic.
The elites have chosen who will share in the resurgence of the GOp to power in DC.
And Christine was not invited to the party.
Something has to explain Sarah Palin....
Think we are all in agreement that something big is behind the outbreak....or O’Donnell flue....
Keep posted if you hear anything that might be relative. In the mean time, will lift her up in prayer....Praying for a 180 from FOX. that they go after Mr. Coons.
“For the billionth time, Ruling Class: Nobody held a gun up to the heads of the voters in Delaware- they chose O’Donnell out of their own free will.

Hey, if she can do it again in November, works for me. Better to have that than a bearded Marxist...
More on the term neocon
As much as the term RINO is used here, the term neocon is used over on the ronpaulforums.com site. They use the term neocon to mean any Republican who is not antiwar. And that ends up meaning any Republican who is not named Ron Paul. And sometimes they come here and call any standard issue hawkish Republican a neocon. So people here think that 1, neocon is good (because Ron Paul fans use it to describe a politician who believes in a strong national defense and 2, only kooky Ron Paul fans use the word neocon, to describe normal Republicans who just want to defend America the best way they know how.
I suspect that ronpaulforums.com, the website, has been captured by those who are not fans of Ron Paul and who wish to disorient his honest supporters with a completely skewed view of what neocon is.
Wow...
Krauthammer longs for the day when America is as great as Britain...
I hope you're wrong and that this is the best they can come up with. As nutty as Rove is right now, I don't think he would be holding any punches.
This is going to be one heck of a 40 something days!
ping!
Sounds like Gerson just called himself a racist (over Keyes) and a chauvanist (over O’Donnell). That’s the way liberals call it. So back at ya Gerson.
Don't...People like to assign their own definition to it...Trying to get as much mileage as possible.
Neocon is basically pro-nation buid, pro-amnesty, pro-globalist...Pro big government, dressed in conservative clothing.
“She kicked the hornet’s nest...”
That would make her Lisbeth Salander, in which case she will SERIOUSLY kick butt.
Talk about your one nutty chick against the Establishment, oh yeah, they won’t see what’s coming and they won’t like it either!
Another thing, and this is pretty hardcore, and most here won’t agree with me on this. Look closely at Imam Rauf. He’s technically a Muslim. But he’s a member of the CFR. You will gain a whole new perspective if, every time he speaks, every time you read something about him, replace Muslim in your mind with elite, establishment CFR member. So when you see “The muslims think 9/11 was an inside job”, think “the CFR thinks 9/11 was an inside job”. And then, watch closely who is howling in rage at such a comment. Watch closely what the rage howlers are saying.
There's no middle ground, if there ever really was. It's just that circumstances are forcing off the masks.
