I’m So Happy to Get This Advice – From a Neo-Con
Bret Stephens, a loudmouth Neo-Con who regularly pollutes the opinion pages of the New York Times and right wing media, gave the Dems some very important advice Friday with the ominous warning, “Democrats are Blowing it, Again”. Stephens, known as a vehement climate denier, Kavanaugh defender, torture supporter, and Trump apologist, believes he has the answer to all of the Dems woes, and that is, don’t be so mean. Using the odd metaphor of becoming unattractive by piercing your tongue, Stepehens goes through a long litany of offenses the Dems have committed in his view:
- Hillary said you can’t be civil with someone trying to destroy everything you stand for.
- House Rep. Jerry Nadler dared to say that he would start an investigation of Kavanaugh and the whitewashed FBI “investigation” should the Dems take control of the House.
- Cory Booker and Kamala Harris really blew it when the spoke out against the Kavanaugh nomination with “histrionics” and turning the hearings into “audition tapes” for the presidential bids.
- Chuck Schumer chose to turn the Kavanaugh catastrophe into a campaign issue.
- The New Yorker really blew it by publishing Deborah Ramirez’s account of Kavanaugh’s sexual assault. Never mind that the FBI refused to follow up on that account and that of dozens of others who tried to testify to the veracity of her account.
- Dems denounced Susan Collins, calling her a “gender traitor” in a a NYT op-ed. Shame on the NYT, his employer.
Now here’s a guy who thought invading Iraq was a great idea, discrimination against Muslims is just dandy, and that Israel should strike against the Palestinians. I know he has a depth of wisdom about all things Democratic (that’s sarcasm, folks), but perhaps his time would be better spent reviewing the truckloads of bullshit that he’s been peddling for years. I know the NYT has him as a columnist for “balance”, but Jesus – there’s no one else?
