Our town paper had Kingsley on as a guest columnest today, I did not read it, I cannot stand him, and when he is on TV I am transfixed with his mannerisms cannot pay attention to what he says.

couldn't happen to a nicer guy!, maybe his style of writing is why the liberal left cannot have a primetime talk radio show

Kinsley's technique is to demonstrate some contradiction or other in the conservative viewpoint based on straw man arguments, hence proving the total lack of intellectual substance or honesty in Conservativism. In the case of Iraq, I imagine it's similar to what the British writer Fisk has been saying, i.e., when Saddam killed his own people in the past, it was okay by us, but now suddenly it's not!!! You'll never see a mention of REAL contradictions, like the Democrats getting behind Clinton's aborted plan to take military action against Iraq in 1998, and now having all sorts of problems with Bush wanting to do that.
