Propagandist-In-Chief for the NeoCons, William "The Bloody" Kristol managed to get an op-ed piece called 'Why Bush Will Be A Winner' published in the Washington Post. In the piece, Kristol musters all his powers of spin to try and backbone his diabolically bizarre argument that President Bush is not the humongous failure that the vast majority of Americans now believe him to be.
Not only that, Kristol lays out a scenario for how the Republicans can retain the White House in 2009, by using the record of President Bush to win over voters.
Come on, stop laughing. Kristol is serious.
Strange then that none of the Republican candidates so far have even talked about President Bush's achievements in the White House during the televised debates. They distance themselves from the president at every opportunity, and would rather be photographed trimming Osama Bin Laden's beard than standing side by side with the leader of their own party.
You can read the key chunks of Klassic Kristol Krapulance here, with a bit of analysis, and comment.
When the Washington Post published the Kristol piece online, they opened up the page to comments, and at the time of this posting an astounding 248 pages of comments have racked up there, more than 2500 in total, and still counting.
The response has been close to record breaking for online reaction at a Western mainstream online media site. All but a handful of the 2500 comments from readers tears shred off Kristol and utterly demolish each and every point of his argument. Not only that, the entire history of Kristol's involvement in pushing for the War On Iraq to become a reality, starting back in the mid-1990s, when he helped to found The Project For A New American Century (along with Cheney, Jeb Bush, 'Scooter' Libby and Donald Rumsfeld), is laid out and his near ceaseless support for more war, on Iraq, on Iran and now Pakistan, is hammered with passionate and informed reaction from the readers.
It takes hours to get through most of the comments, but doing so provides a spectacular insight into the American mindset today. There is something close to palpable horror and hysteria in many of the comments. The readers understand that Kristol was a key architect in lying America into a costly and extremely deadly war, and they don't hold back from giving him all barrels, right in the face.
Kristol is abused, threatened and demonised, and any number of the comments would have been X-ed out of existence on sites like the New York Times Lede blog, or the UK Guardian's usually open-borders Comment Is Free blogstream.
But the Washington Post lets its readers go hard, and hardcore, many times in clear violation of its own policy for online comments.
But that's not the point of this piece, that's just for the history of the internet, when we will look back on the days when commenting was allowed to cross boundaries of public discussion never allowed by talkback radio and letters to the editor.
The point of all this is to draw your attention to one comment in particular, where reader Kelletim unfurls probably the most amazing, truthful and comprehensive rant we've read on a comments page in many, many months. It's over-the-top as hell, but not too far gone on the facts when it comes to the various ranks of the NeoCon fraternity. Enjoy the most harsh definition of the NeoCons you will ever read :
Neocons are all imbecilic, aging, wheezing syphilitic pathological creeps, dirty old men that smoke Cuban cigars and go on child sex slave vacations in third world nations while on oxycontin between snorting viagra and having secret affairs with gay sex workers.In the interests of accuracy, one glaring distortion in the above needs to be corrected :
When they're not spouting homophobic bullshit or writing breathlessly idiotic, fact free columns in major newspapers, clinking crystal tumblers brimming with $38,000 a bottle bourbon with the Skull and Bones / AEI classmates at grand elite socials, getting drunk and shooting people in the face, brazenly granting trillion dollar contracts to their former companies, raping teenaged boys in Texas Prisons, chronically sexually harrassing their female employees, they're out doing what they do best: ravaging the life savings of thousands of people and committing genocide.
All this while being ardently fawned over by the liberal media.
These revolting sub-human colostomatic shitbags of filth and perversion should all be in GITMO right now receiving sex changes from Cuban doctors, only to spend the rest of their lives as a drag show touring East African nations.
"...brazenly granting trillion dollar contracts to their former companies..."This is not true. Yes, Vice President Dick Cheney, has helped guide a ream of government and Pentagon contracts the way of Haliburton, the company he once headed.
But these contracts were not worth 'trillions'. Only $US50 to $US100 billion of America's war fighting dollars has been shepherded into Haliburton's vaults so far, resulting in the worth of Cheney's Haliburton stock increasing from a few hundred grand to more than $8 million.
So far.
As far for the rest of it Kelletim's rant? We must strongly disagree.
East African nations should not have William "The Bloody" Kristol and 'Scooter' Libby in drag forced on them. Even after undergoing sex changes at the hands of Cuban doctors.
The East Africans have suffered enough.
