And the good and just thing that Kristol says Obama would not have been willing to fight for is ending Slavery.

Actually, yes, I am disagreeing with Oliver. I don’t think that Kristol’s comments indicate that he thinks Obama would have been pro-slavery. I think that Kristol instead chose an unfortunate analogy that illustrates his perception that Obama is not willing to fight for what is good and just, while Giuliani is (much like Bush).

This does not absolve Kristol from picking a really poor analogy that opens himself up to this sort of criticism. Not to mention that the analogy is just stupid, besides. Kristol’s comments certainly are reflective of idiocy, no doubt about that.

It would be akin to saying Joe Lieberman would be pro-Hitler because he supports the invasion and continuing occupation of Iraq.

It also demostrates for me how clearly these nutbag neo-cons have no idea what they are talking about.

The only reason (I can think of ) why Kristol would make such a boneheaded comparison is because people he talks to and hangs out with have already compared Bush to Lincoln (oh so wrongly). If we already have a Lincoln comparison, we must have an Anti-Licoln, right?

Conservatism; the ideology of Nu-Uh!!

OK, maybe calling an african-American pro-slavery isn’t exactly bigotry, per se, but it is incredibly stupid, insensitive and, did I mention stupid?

um….how is calling someone pro-slavery bigotry? Wouldn’t that make you a bigot, because that’s all you ever do on this blog, OW.

Dumb logic at best, OW.

Jay, aren’t you the guy that got all upset when opponents said Alito wasn’t a good DA because he blew the biggest case of his career. Yeah, because it dealt with the mafia, you thought it was racially motivated against Italians, and you don’t see it here?

There is dense, and then there is so dense you have an event horizon.

Nothing like an erudite insult to get the day off to a good start.

Come on, Jay.
A sitting US senator, who just happens to be black, would have been okay with slavery.
That’s what I get from Kristol’s statement.

How is that not bigoted?

Mambo does agree with Oliver

No, he doesn’t. It’s obvious you can read, but your comprehension needs serious work.

And Midderpidge, perhaps you can answer the question (you people are great at avoiding these things) and explain how Kristol’s comments are bigoted. I don’t agree with what Kristol said. In fact, I agree with Mambo that the analogy is absurd, but again HOW is it bigoted?

Lincoln wanted to end slavery, Douglas wanted to let it continue, Obama would have been with Douglas therefore…

Jay: nothing to see here.

Mambo does agree with Oliver, he just differed over nuance. Learn to read before casting stones.

The point itself is Bill Kristol and that bottle of soda water he’s about to spray in his pants. honk-honk.

It’s not about Obama… It;s about kristols lack of imagination.

and is IS bigoted – were Obama a Jew or a Sikh then Kristol would have pressed some other button.

That crap is self-evidently bigoted (intolerant for racist reasons), and kristol is being is usual clowny self.

You ever listen to the man… it’s like you can hear his conscience trying to tighten down his vocal cords…. and he always looks like he’s about to crap his own pants – with veins on forehead showing his efforts at retention.

His body itself disagrees with him. he makes me unfomfortable to watch… shifty eyes, unsteady tone, pedantic nonsense, and still no admission he might have been a weens bit wrong – ever.

Bill Kristol cansepnd his remaining days running the Bush library and changing history after the fact to fit his needs – assuming anyone will ever let it be built on their land.

Jay: would apologise for anything provided it was done by “his side”.

Oh shut up twit. I merely asked how this was an example of bigotry? Even Mambo doesn’t agree with Oliver. Is he apologizing too?
