Why I can't stand Kevin Drum: we're "slavering hordes" to him...

"As usual these days, {the hunter's apology} did no good. The slavering hordes were unappeased and he's now out of a job, has lost his sponsorships and his TV show, and might as well move to a desert island to live out the rest of his years now. He's a pariah.... I have a feeling Hillary is well aware of this."

To Drum, those who are against the Iraq war, and hesitant to support a candidate for President who supported it are JUST LIKE the Michelle Malkin, Hugh Hewitt, and all the LGF troupe. More generally, from the fact that the right wing acts a certain way, Drum concludes that ALL OF AMERICA is that way. To Drum, America is as the crazed right does ("But it's evidence of something else too: the utter futility of the apology in modern day America.").

With this tripe, Drum clearly places himself in the Old Wise Men of D.C. camp - anti-Iraq-war folks who criticize Clinton for her vote, and subsequent refusal to acknowledge that she has learned from her error (few, if any, are interested in Drum's strawman "apology") are *slavering hordes*. I stopped reading Drum because of his incessant showcasing of concern-troll Amy Why-Oh-Why-Do-Democrats-Hate-Religion Sullivan. Occasionally, I wonder if I'm missing out - I'm thankful to now have an answer.

One might conjecture that Drum is gunning for fucktard Broder's WaPo position when he retires/dies. Or maybe he'll run for the Senate in Connecticut - he's just the kind of guy their fuckwipe electorate would go for.

Fuck Kevin Drum.


EDIT: Inserted quote-braces for clarity.

he had been strongly against the war and full of snark for the neocons and republican congressional enabling brigade. I wonder what happened...

of guest bloggers - esp "celeb" guest bloggers. I started reading him when he was Calpundit - a wee bit centrist but very anti bush and anti neocon and anti Iraq war. Appears the step up - made him identify more with the celeb guests than with his readers.

Because that's who Kevin Drum is talking about.

You keep that red bouncy ball. You might get more use out of it.
