William "The Bloody" Kristol decided to hop on board
Robert Kagan's Beck Bash choo-choo and I am glad:
But hysteria is not a sign of health. When Glenn Beck rants about the caliphate taking over the Middle East from Morocco to the Philippines, and lists (invents?) the connections between caliphate-promoters and the American left, he brings to mind no one so much as Robert Welch and the John Birch Society. He’s marginalizing himself, just as his predecessors did back in the early 1960s.

Bill Kristol has an editorial on conservatives and Egypt. He takes a well-deserved shot at Glenn Beck’s latest wild theorizing:

certainly has control of the US government, when Yeltsin ruled, also the Russian government. The largescale destruction via outsourcing, wage arbitrage of the American Middle Class has been the result.
Beck of course is no more than a MSM confused talk jock and they invariably lean toward banker-capitalist co-option even when trying not to do so.
wage arbitrage of the American Middle Class has been the result.
This is a great line!
