Sounds like Bill Kristol doesn't want to be upstaged. Bill is another MSM koolaid drinkers like Bill O' Reilly too.

>and evoking memories of the John Birch Society’s Communist-conspiracy talk of the 1960’s, leading conservative pundit William Kristol wrote over the weekend.

The problem being that almost every single thing that they said would happen, has happened.
They were right.

Didn’t anyone teach Chrissy Matthews and the rest of the “Beck is nuts” crowd that ad hominem attack represents a logical fallacy? Don’t they actually do this for a living, most of them? They should be embarrassed but it’s ALL THEY GOT.

Conspiracy. Yeah right. Like the silly conspiracy of Ayatollah Khomenei’s to make Shah Reza Pahlevi’s Iran an Islamic Republic. That could NEVER happen. Right, Mr. Kristol?

[montag813]

OK Mr Kristol. So I guess we can chalk you up as a supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood.

To be fair I would have to search out Kristol's actual comments vis-a-vis Beck. But it appears from this that he has made Beck the issue.

Again the speaker becomes the issue not what is spoken. Where are the substantive counter arguments to what Beck is saying? We know Beck can sound a bit nutty, already!

A lot of us remember the 1950s and wonder where were the counter arguments to what Senator McCarthy was saying.

We see now 50-60 years later that much of what the Senator was saying was TRUE. That's why there were few substantive arguments against McCarthy -- the Left had to make McCarthy the issue and given his personality and foibles it was an easy thing to do that and destroy him.

It's the same "make the speaker the issue" trick that the CP/USA and the liberals back then used, many of whom are now "neo-cons" having been labeled as such by their progressive friends and who were chased out of the Democratic Party.

Frankly I wish the "neo-cons" would reclaim their Democratic Party from the 1960s Marxist-Alinsky campus/street revolutionary rabble and return it to it's rightful status as a traditional patriotic political party. (That ain't name calling, that's what the 1960s New Left was/is.)

Rumsfeld called Rush today and confirmed Glenn’s perspective on this issue and added that Americans basically don’t want to confront the issue on just how violent these Islamists are.

Kristol is a neocon

“Glenn Beck is “marginalizing” himself with conspiracy talk about Egypt’s anti-Mubarak protests and evoking memories of the John Birch Society’s Communist-conspiracy talk of the 1960’s”

Glenn Beck backs up his points with multiple first hand evidence.
