Yes, and as we all know, the only correct moderate view is unquestioning support of a Democratic Party House of Representatives with a 100 seat majority, combined with a Democratic Party Senate with a 60-40 filibuster proof majority, and led by a Democratic Party President with 95% toe-the-line Democratic Party voting record resulting in the single most concentrated unobstructed power in one party and one man in 70 years.

Any other view is clearly the work of the Republican Smear Machine.

Yes, because as we all know, FOX news is awash with moderate commentators. Downright middle of the road they are.

Sorry, folks. Krauthammer is as Republican as they come in spite of these would be defenders. And I read the column. It is as pathetic as Michael makes it sound. And as pathetic as these people calling Krauthammer some kind of independent are.

If you knew anything about Krauthammer, you would know he is his own person, he reaches his own conclusions, he says what he means and he means what he says. The “Republican Attack Machine” is no less a myth than the “Democratic Attack Machine,” but if it were real, Krauthammer is not part of it. Finally, you are inaccurate concerning Obama's use of the royal “we;” I have heard him use it, when referring solely to himself, on many occasions and in many contexts.

Krauthammer has been praised and condemned, depending on one’s viewpoint, as a “liberal,” a “conservative,” and a “neoconservative.” He is one of those rare columnists who has managed to cheese off everyone at some time or another. He has worked in various capacities with Jimmy Carter, Walter Mondale, and George W. Bush. He is pro-Bush concerning the Iraq war, but opposes Bush in many other areas. He supports of legalized abortion; opposes the death penalty; is a critic of intelligent design theory; and opposed the nomination of Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court.

If I could write as well as he does maybe then I would criticize him but I can't…maybe others should look at all sides of a person before criticizing…or does everyone just attack then ask questions after the fact?

Hey Michael – Quick question. I was wondering if you can point to any post that you have ever written at any time, when you you have had the opportunity to use the phrase “Democratic Smear Machine”? Seeing how you used the phrase “Republican Smear Machine” twice in this one post, I was just – you know – curious. If you can't tell me, no problem – I think I know the answer.

It is is little “tells” like this that help me calibrate bloggers and pundits I read. I like to know exactly where to put them on the PPH (Polarizing Partisan Hack) scale. Thanks.
