Token Conservative Drives Moonbat Into Frenzy
One of the many shortcomings of moonbattery is the extreme rigidity of the ideology. In place of the cross-pollination that occurs in an open marketplace of ideas, moonbats have only an incestuous echo chamber, in which their own voices come back at them amplified, driving them ever further into insanity.
At least the mainstream media recognizes the value of retaining a handful of token conservatives, if only as a lame defense against charges of bias. Bill Kristol of the Weekly Standard will reportedly write a weekly op-ed for the New York Times, causing Katha Pollitt at the Nation to cough up a frenetic denunciation just before her head exploded.
After calling him a propagandist, a bully and a thug, Pollitt gives vent to her outrage with a list of unobjectionable opinions that she imputes to Kristol in a tone better suited to accusations of witchcraft. These include:
- American liberals helped pave the way for communists and Islamists to take over Cambodia and Iran.
- The democratic governments in the Middle East — Afghanistan, Iraq and Israel — deserve our support.
- The world would be better off without the terrorist regimes running Iran and Syria.
- Military force is a viable option for curtailing Iran's nuclear ambitions before millions of people get killed.
- Promiscuous sex without precautions is not "a very good thing for the country."
- Attempts by the judiciary to overstep its authority and impose an oligarchy should be resisted.
- Islamic terrorists would prefer that Democrats win our elections.
According to Pollitt, these mild views are so outrageous, they disqualify Kristol even for the intended role of conservative foil on a liberal editorial page. The "fair and balanced" concept hasn't gotten much traction at the Nation.

Another unhinged lefty: Anti-War Lawyer keys Marine's car. Now he has something to brag about to his left-wing buddies at the next whine and sleaze party.

News site spreading Iranian propaganda upholds the unquestionable and flawless standards of MSM journalism by refuting the rumours of Jews emigrating from Iran... With a Peoples Cube photoshopped image.

"My daughter, who goes to Stuyvesant High School only blocks from the World Trade Center, thinks we should fly an American flag out our window. Definitely not, I say: The flag stands for jingoism and vengeance and war. She tells me I’m wrong–the flag means standing together and honoring the dead and saying no to terrorism…A friend has taken to wearing her rusty old women’s Pentagon Action buttons–at least they have a picture of the globe on them. The globe, not the flag, is the symbol that’s wanted now." -- Katha Pollitt in 'The Nation'

You know I'm going to state the obvious here. Every time you hear a moonbat go off the deep end you see their picture and you know to solve their problem they'd only have to be laid.
I mean come on we know why they're mad as hell at everyone, just look at how ugly they are.....

Peh! These Moonbatditors must have really been inspired by Time magazine's teenage roadie fawning over anti-Americans Putin and Gore, because they emulate it by naming ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS as 'Texan of the Year'.

Meanwhile, we find that liberals are now tormenting the US population with environmentalism blowback.

Pollitt? She should change her name to Red Pollitt-Buro.

Uh, given that quote, can we question her patriotism now? And if not, then when?

Should we expect anything less from a publication that was once openly communist and has since moderated only slightly? Never forget that The NATION once cheered on Stalin as he sent millions of Russians to their graves.
