Fred Barnes: Fascist Pigs!

The Weekly Standard ^ | 02/17/03 | Fred Barnes

[JoJo Gunn]

I don't need Barnes or anyone else to "convince" me of anything, if that's what you mean. I have personally waded into the sewers of the IndyMedia and the (now defunct) Berkeley Bulletin Board, and have seen first hand how the Leftists are. They are Death Incarnate. They are exactly as depicted in this article. Leftists have always claimed to be the champs of womyn and children and blacks, etc, yet now that it's time for their brains to cash the check their mouth wrote, they're bankrupt.

But they always were bankrupt.

That said, I also await your point by point refutation of this article.

I bet you'll have a long wait.

THERE WAS A TIME--the 1960s, 1970s--when the political left in America favored wars of national liberation in countries ruled by dictators, some of them fascist dictators. True, the left would have installed communist dictatorships in their place. But at least leftists targeted enemies who were corrupt, brutal abusers of human rights.

The first sentence betrays him for what he is.

The opposite of communist is NOT Fascist.

The opposite of BOTH communist and fascist is FREEDOM.

[DAnconia55]

Fred is a tool, a propagandist, a government lackey, a disgrace to honest reporting.

Intelligent, Unblinking eyes are always welcome. :)

[DAnconia55]

Don't worry about Blinky. Click on his name and then "Find in Forum". Either he's a pitchforker or a Bircher. His last couple of posts seem to dwell a bit on Israel. I'll bet you can't possibly guess what his take is on that situation.

Both Barnes and Kondrake are as bought and paid for as bought and paid for can be. It doesn't matter what the subject they will be Pro-Government, and anti-liberty as editorial space allows.

UnblinkingEye's beliefs have nothing to do with it.

BTW... the Birchers were right, on at least one occasion. Which is more than you can say.
There WERE Communist spies in the government, the historical record has proven so.

[John Lenin]

The left now gives fascist dictators a pass. Its enemy is the United States.

Great article, he nailed it.

[piasa]

And what did he say in this piece that wasn't spot on?

The only thing that jumps out at me is his assumption that the left was ever "for" wars of liberation.

You can't support the spread of communism and be for liberation at the same time. Liberty and communism are inversely proportional.

The thought quotient at FR is decreasing.

A mass education program would be in order, but it would only exist to serve the GOP, and not truth.

[JoJo Gunn]

Well, that's true. I was thinking more of "today", of what I've seen from them in the last 10 years. Which is absolutely nothing.

[JoJo Gunn]

"A mass education program would be in order...."

Then where do I sign up, oh GLSEN meister?

[DAnconia55]

You're missing the point.

[DAnconia55]

Oh wait... that GSLEN thing was supposed to mean something.

It'd help if I knew the meaning of your acronym insults, newbie.

[JoJo Gunn]

Surely a Leftist would know all about GLSEN training camps. Get 'em while they're in elementary school, ya unnerstan'.

[DAnconia55]

uh-huh.

Well, newbie, you might want to hold fire, before you know how anti-leftist your target is.

FYI - I'm 100% Capitalist. With a capital "C".

[JoJo Gunn]

Oh, puhWEASE, Massa, puhwease don't call me a newbie. I promise I'll be good from now on. Don't hurl your intellectual firepower at me any longer. I shall surely die....

Good one !!!!!!!!!!!! {quote of the day JohnHuang2?]

[Howlin]

Don't worry about it.

Some on here believe they and they alone can read and interpret their copy of the Constitution and have the correct answers to any and all things under the stars; and no matter WHAT you might believe, you can damn sure bet they think you're wrong.

[VaBthang4]

Hahaha...
