Defending Limbaugh, Fox's Kristol declares: "Thank God most of the workforce isn't unionized"

If you can call that rag an actual magazine. Funny how people like you jump to conclusions all the time. I know more about Bill Kristol and his father than you might think - and I know that he is as full of it as most so-called conservatives.

He runs a magazine that doesn't make money that his father created. So would he have a REAL job if Fox wasn't around?

Yeah, he runs a magazine.

Daddy ran a magazine.

He has a magazine and a think tank to run.

Since you seem to be SO informed about William Kristol, I'm sure you know that his father, Irving, was considered the "Godfather of American Neo-conservatism" which was formerly called "neo-classical liberalism." I'm sure you also know that Kristol was head of the PNAC, the neo-conservative think tank which PUSHED the unnecessary invasion of Iraq on Bill Clinton in 1998, and then, once they got Bush the puppet installed, got many of their guiding members ensconced in the first Bush Administration. Paul Wolfowitz, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Richard Perle, David Frum, Douglas Feith, etc. In one of the most infamous portions of the most odious of the PNAC's writings, the statement was made that invading Iraq would be a tough sell unless we experienced a "Pearl Harbor-like" event . . . their DREAMS were answered on 9/11/01. They used the deaths of 3000 people to push their "dream war."

I know ALL about Mr. Kristol, apparently, you don't.

Billy Kristol? Yeah, I remember him -- he USED to be a columnist for that librul rag, the New York Times . . . until this past January, when they fired him for sloppy writing.

So basically, without the Fox Comedy Channel, Kristol would be just another unemployed hack living off the gov't teat . . .

Well, I think he'd probably just shoot himself in the foot by going on Fox to announce how confident he was that she was a supermodel and didn't have herpes.

Mr. News

He knows that they only way for him to survive at Faux News as a journalist who happens to be black,

One out of two ain't bad.

What are you talking about?

Some things can be changed, like political philosophy.

Some things cannot be changed, like one's race, or skin color.

Rush has used personal characteristics against people in an unfair way.

I don't see the problem with that wording. It was made very clear in the first paragraph that racism and/or race baiting is wrong precisely because people can't change skin color, as opposed to something like ideology. The phrasing ties into that.

there was a time when when we tried, tanning salons are doing big business these days, In Asia there is plastic surgery to make eyes less "slanted and more round" like Westerners. My neighbors 13 year-old daughter in an attempt to fit in with her white friends dyed her her hair blonde and tried to lighten her skin. . .

Are you saying people would/should change their color of the skin if they could?

This has to be one of the most idiotic interpretations of something said that I have ever read in my life!!

What kind of a so called 'independent' could be so ignorant as to come up with that as a potential reason to what thundavolt said???

Rush is a racist, through and through! I used to think that Rush's little radio act was just that, an act (like Ann Coulter?) but the moment Barack Obama became a viable candidate back in early 2008...

What ever assumptions I had about Rush just doing a job instead of spewing his true self disappeared rather quickly at that point!

Har ! Some weekend hater gave you a thumbs down, usp.

Covered by the 40 hour work week I assume. And you got a thumbs down for mentioning the weekend? Wow, just wow.. I guess, as the Col said, we got ourselves a weekend hater roaming around here.

The biggest reason I'm a supporter of unions was that when I was growing up, my Dad, and his fellow union brothers went out on strike after the company they worked for totally screwed them on their new contract, so they walked.

During the 3 months they were without income, union members all looked out for one another, made sure everyone had enough food, clothes for school, school equipment, and so on for their kids, and essentially held out until the company gave in and compromised with them. They of course, didn't get everything that they were looking for, but they did get back a lot of what they had lost.

Also, during that same strike, while the company was bringing in strikebreakers, also known as "scabs" the company's private security force actually waded into the picket lines, and started cracking heads with their billy clubs to "make way" for the buses coming into the mill with the replacement workers. Picketers weren't doing anything illegal, and were on public property, but alas, about 20 guys got their heads cracked.

So, yeah, unions provide a lot of what we've got now in the form of labor laws, and some folks are quick to put them down, even though they have benefitted (literally in some cases) from the blood that was spilled (read about the early years of unions and strikes).

I'd even bet, since Kristol is on TV a lot, and a writer, he's probably PART of and a member IN a union.

Workers who pooh-pooh labor in this country remind me somewhat of women who enjoy rights unprecedented in earlier times, while strongly insisting "but I'm not a feminist."

Or you have hypocrites like Phyllis Schlafly, who flies all over the country to tell women that their place is in the home.

These are the people who think Jesus would want you to die if you didn't have health insurance; what else is new?

Probably a republican business owner...

What we have here in Cheney2012 is a troll people!

Yep, and of course by incentive and wealth he is refering to what management wants and not getting the best deal for the people who actually make the products.

...still up his ass, from where he hasn't pulled it yet.
