I GUESS LEON WISELTIER IS DISHONEST TOO

Anyone who could write this nonsense about right-wing neocon war whore Charles Krauthammer has no business attacking others:
As far as I can tell, Krauthammer’s position on torture is owed to a deep and sometimes frantic concern for American security, and his position on the war in Gaza to a deep and sometimes frantic concern for Israeli security, and his position on Iran to a deep and sometime frantic concern for American and Israeli security. Whatever the merits of his views, I do not see that his motives are despicable. Moreover, Krauthammer argues for his views; the premises of his analysis are coldly clear, and may be engaged analytically, and when necessary refuted.

As far as I can tell, Wieseltier's
analysis of Krauthammer and Sullivan is at bottom owing to the same, yes despicable, from an America First point of view (Left or Right-I give you Norman Thomas), concerns.

Wiseltier was ready to admit that Michael Goldfarb was a hack but couldn't bring himself to admit the same about Krautpot.
