’)John Hinderaker, today:
[W]e were often critical of President George W. Bush.
John Hinderaker, 2005:
It must be very strange to be President Bush. A man of extraordinary vision and brilliance approaching to genius, he can’t get anyone to notice. He is like a great painter or musician who is ahead of his time, and who unveils one masterpiece after another to a reception that, when not bored, is hostile.
Whatever, playah.
Oh, by the way, you forgot this part of that post.-
“..The tone of the post is obviously tongue in cheek, but liberals never seem to notice. They are, to put it charitably, not big on nuance.”
Hinderaker is an example, along with Instafool, of how abysmally stupid you have to be in order to be considered a top conservative political blogger. Who else is there, RedState and Michelle Malkin? Could the threshold be any lower?
It’s almost like they don’t understand how the Internet works, and that stuff they say will be on the record forever.
Boy, that 2005 quote is a little jarring, isn’t it?
Hinderaker 2005: Harriet Myers is “A Dispointment”.
Hinderaker 2003 [Bush has abandoned] “what used to be considered conservative principles.”
Hinderaker 2008: “Vote No” against TARP.
Hinderaker 2004: “I just don’t think he’s doing the principled thing.”
Farris: Four times in eight years is not “often.”
And this: Hinderaker 2003 [Bush has abandoned] “what used to be considered conservative principles.”
…is not a criticism, it’s a CYA moment. It lays the groundwork to pretend, as many do now, that Bush/Cheney’s many failings do not in any way indict conservative principles.
We can see the face of the modern conservative. The so-called Party of Lincoln today wouldn’t let that man rise higher than Senate page.
Shit, the Joe “You Lie!” Wilson wing of the Republican Party puts pennies in urinals, making sure the heads side is up. Really. I’m not kidding:
Ahh the fruits of the Southern Strategy. Nicely played, Party of Robert Stacy McCain. Nice played, Dennis. Well done. As you were.
Nice on-topic post, Mr. Urban Legend, conspiracy theorist whackjob.
From John Wilkes Booth to Joe Wilson without a shred of evidence or even a link to show where the nuttiness came from.
Well done. As you were, Indeed.
I’ll bet Joe Wilson once rode a horse, just like John Wilkes Booth did on his escape route to Maryland. He probably stepped in mud one time too, and wouldn’t you know it, Booth had his leg fixed by Dr. Samuel Mudd.
Heavens to Betsey, Indeed. The coincidences are unbelievable. Southern Strategy written all over these coincidences. It’s all in the Southern Strategy list of Code words wrote and published just before he passed away.
Nutjob.
