Kristol: ‘I Recommend The Politics Of Fear’
Kristol: ‘I Recommend The Politics Of Fear’

This morning on Fox News Sunday, New York Times columnist Bill Kristol recommended that Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) employ the “politics of fear” to attack Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL):

KRISTOL: riding a wave of euphoria. She needs to puncture it. The way you puncture euphoria is reality, or to be more blunt, fear. I recommend to Senator Clinton the politics of fear.

Kristol explained that his fear-mongering political strategy would focus on Iran. He recommended that Clinton say the following about Obama: “He wants to negotiate on January 21st with Ahmadinejad. Here’s what Ahmadinejad has said about blowing up Israel.” Watch it:http://thinkprogress.org/2008/02/24/kristol-politics-of-fear/

3. Fox News analyst AND a NY Times columnist
I've never met anyone in person who expressed respect for Bill Kristol, but the corporate media adores him.

2. Bill Kristol. Fox "News"
Enough said. "Irrelevance is us" should be the Fox noise motto.

4. How the excrement Kristol is still taken seriously is beyond me.
He's wrong about everything, a warmongering, cold-blooded killer and one of the most evil men of our times. Yet the New York Times gives him space every Monday to spew his drivel, and Jon Stewart has the scumbag on The Daily Show. I just don't get it. Every decent person ought to turn their back on this clown and give him the rejection he so richly deserves.

7. Hillary could help herself

8. And that tactic is easier to use on Republicans who tend to be easier to scare.

9. McCain wants to include him in his cabinet.
"McCain's foreign-policy team is sprinkled with people, including Scheunemann, who were ardent backers of the 2003 Iraq invasion and who dismissed critics who warned of unintended consequences. They include former CIA Director James Woolsey, an adviser mostly on energy security, and William Kristol, the editor of the conservative Weekly Standard."

12. FDR:" We have nothing to fear , but fear, itself."
