KRAUTHAMMER PERVERTS WILLIAM F. BUCKLEY'S LEGACY

"My Gaaaawwwwwwwwd, I ran against the squisher Lindsay, I supported Reagan against the incumbent Ford, and this neo-pundit presuuuuumes to invoke me against a conservative Republican?!"

I just heard the normally intelligent Charles Krauthammer AGAIN (this time to Bill O'Reilly) cite the late great Bill Buckley as evidence that Delaware conservatives were crazy to support Christine O'Donnell over Mike Castle: "William F. Buckley always said to support the most conservative candidate who could WIN...What is at stake is the chance to control the Senate." [pretty close to verbatim]

Nice try, Charles, but how stupid do you think we are? You were a big-shot pundit awaaaaaayyyy back in 1988, when dinosaurs roamed the earth and William F. Buckley single-mindedly, and almost single-handedly, led a campaign TO UNSEAT AN INCUMBENT REPUBLICAN SENATOR. Remember? Does the name "Lowell Weicker" ring a bell, Chuck? He was part of the GOP Senate MAJORITY from 1980 to 1986, but he was so liberal (and so venomously anti-Reagan) that WFB took it upon himself to find a candidate to defeat him. His solution to the Weicker problem? Joe Leiberman--a Democrat. Buckley supported a Democrat against an incumbent Republican because Weicker was actually a "Republican"--a RINO.

Did that really work out so bad for the conservative cause? Hell, the guy even threw the 2000 VP debate for Dick Cheney!

Charles, for a very smart guy (even though you did write for that New Deal flagship "New Republic" for all those years), you can be pretty stupid from time to time. Here's a little message for you and for all your fellow GOP old-bull wise-guys, like Karl "Tokyo" Rove:
CHRISTINE O'DONNELL WON--SHE IS THE CANDIDATE, PERIOD;
SHUT UP ABOUT HER SHORTCOMINGS, AT LEAST TO THE MEDIA;
AND TURN YOUR GUNS AGAINST HER CREEPY CRYPTO-COMMIE OPPONENT.

GM Roper said...: Castle was establishment. The Republican Party establishment protects their own. We the people have to wrest that control away from "the party" and make it what we want it to be. Hence, the Tea Party phenomena. stand aside Dr. Krauthammer, we're coming through.; September 17, 2010 at 4:35:00 AM PDT

The Odyssey by Homer, Chapter 21:

For long Odysseus stood with the bow in his hands, handling it as a minstrel handles a lyre when he stretches a cord or tightens a peg. Then he bent the great bow; he bent it without an effort, and at his touch the bow-string made a sound that was like the cry of a swallow. The wooers seeing him bend that mighty bow felt, every man of them, a sharp pain at the heart. They saw Odysseus take up an arrow and fit it to the string. He held the notch, and he drew the string, and he shot the bronze-weighted arrow straight through the holes in the back of the axe-heads. Then as Eumæus took up the axes, and brought them outside, he said, ‘Thou seest, lord Telemachus, that thy guest does not shame thee through foolish boasting. I have bent the bow of Odysseus, and I have shot the arrow aright. But now it is time to provide the feast for the lords who woo thy lady mother. While it is yet light, the feast must be served to them, and with the feast they must have music and the dance.’ Saying this he nodded to Telemachus, bending his terrible brows. Telemachus instantly girt his sword upon him and took his spear in his hand. Outside was heard the thunder of Zeus. And now Odysseus had stripped his rags from him and was standing upright, looking a master of men. The mighty bow was in his hands, and at his feet were scattered many bronze-weighted arrows.
