Kristol: Beck Is "Marginalizing Himself" With His "Hysteria" Over Egypt
http://mediamatters.org/blog/201102050004

SNIP - As Media Matters has documented, Glenn Beck has offered wild speculation and conspiracy theories in response to the protests in Egypt. In a column for The Weekly Standard, editor and Fox News contributor William Kristol criticizes Beck for his "hysteria" and attacks other conservatives for being "so fearful of a popular awakening that they side with the dictator against the democrats."

Wow, he's losing Bill Kristol?

1. When you've lost Bill Kristol, you've lost the people...
...the people who are already so far right and so comfortable with state directed bloodshed, it should scare you just to be in the same room with them.

It's like being called "too extreme" by Barry Goldwater.

2. Rodeo clown responds
Beck Responds To Kristol: "I'm Going To Show You The Face Of Evil Today"

BECK: Apparently -- apparently Republicans are just trying to appropriate Ronald Reagan, who, we're not even really sure if he was a conservative anymore, apparently at this point.

Bill Kristol has said, me and anybody else that says, "You know, maybe we should hold off on the Muslim Brotherhood thing," is just a John Bircher. Really the Egyptian revolt is 1776, according to William Kristol.

I'm going to show you the face of evil today, and let Bill Kristol's words fall where they may. You decide: good versus evil.

5. I wonder if he will get canned from Faux
Today, (hat tip/Ben Smith), we have Bill Kristol sticking with the demonstrators and calling out free-range lunatic Glenn Beck, for his hilarious commie-muslim caliphate delusions. This is not unimportant. Kristol lies very close to the throbbing heart of the Fox News sensibility. And I've heard, from more than a couple of conservative sources, that prominent Republicans have approached Rupert Murdoch and Roger Ailes about the potential embarrassment that the paranoid-messianic rodeo clown may bring upon their brand. The speculation is that Beck is on thin ice. His ratings are dropping, too--which, in the end, is a good part of what this is all about. But I wouldn't be surprised if we saw a mirror-Olbermann situation soon.

8. I agree that this is not unimportant. It sounds to me that the
GOP are acknowledging that the nuts have taken over the asylum.Must be hurting their brand, it's verboten in the GOP to ever speak ill against their own.

(ignore the violence, it is a deep concept on how favor accepted that is unjust, leads to hardship also not just)

And just favor is used to help many people, in many ways and forms., knowing it should be shared, since it is also undeserved.

Again why my only claim is for beer and travel money, and many experiences.


That is not judgmental, but an observational arguable effect.


Also why I am just posting songs and clips and not working, since thinking that earned me anything would be accepting a form of being owned, with a theoretical debt. So I try to share thoughts and claim what is mine.

beer and travel money, and many experiences.
