Conventional Wisdom self-destructs...
Random Jottings —
Conventional Wisdom self-destructs... Jonah Goldberg : I'm writing about this for my USA Today column, but the Frank Rich hissy fit is a perfect example of the real story of the election. The story is not that the GOP is self-destructing, it is that the conventional wisdom is being shown to be ludicrous. For some time now Frank Rich, Sam Tanenhaus and countless others (including David Frum) have been arguing that the GOP is a rump party and the only way for it to survive is for it to embrace me-too Republicanism of one flavor or another. The story of all three major races ...
Thanks, but no thanks, Frank Rich

... Democrat in the race. Some loss she is to the Republican Party. But conservatives don't need Frank Rich to tell us how to vote or whom to support. If he wants to get his jollies by thinking that a GOP victory in NY-23 will be a looming disaster for the Republican Party, that's just fine. Clearly, he has no idea of what the people he calls "teabaggers" are upset about. And even worse, this drama critic-turned-political pundit is missing what has really been happening. As Jonah Goldberg points out , the gains that Republicans have been making in the areas holding elections this ...

Strange Brew: GOP war clouds comeback picture
The Note —
... Vindication? "Not only was the conventional wisdom wrong, the idea that there's a ‘civil war' within the GOP revolving around this argument is nonsense," Jonah Goldberg writes for National Review. "The GOP is an unapologetically conservative party, providing a choice not an echo, and -- horror of horrors -- it's working." ...

Rich putsch kitsch

Rich putsch kitsch As a lot of people are sounding off about Frank Rich's latest silly column, I thought I'd chime in. I don't know whether he's trying to outdo himself in terms of pure buffoonery, but this time, Rich is hell-bent on proving that the conservatives who support Doug Hoffman in the NY-23 race are a bunch of "Stalinists." In a piece titled "The G.O.P. Stalinists Invade Upstate New York," he refers to a "riotous and bloody national G.O.P. civil war" and a "G.O.P. killing field." And later (after an embarrassing historical ...
Being Called “Stalinists” by the NY Times is Like Being Called, Well, Stalinists by the NY Times

... His pastor of twenty years came out as a full-fledged communist just today. And his partner Bill Ayers is still an unrepentant Communist. But according to Mr. Frank Rich of the New York Times, you and I are the “Stalinist” extremists because we believe in limited government or traditional marriage or defending America, not in defending terrorists. There’s a deep philosophical lesson here for conservatives: Frank Rich is a half-flatulent pantload with delusions of mediocrity. And also this :…[T]he Frank Rich hissy fit is a perfect example of the real story of the election. The ...
