Comments on: More Hewittian Nonsense (or: The Wrongheadedness of Equating One’s Partisan Foes with Real Enemies) http://poliblogger.com/?p=12490 A rough draft of my thoughts... Wed, 10 Oct 2024 14:17:35 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.4 by: PoliBlog ™: A Rough Draft of my Thoughts » And this Guy is Advising Giuliani? http://poliblogger.com/?p=12490#comment-1364512 Tue, 11 Sep 2024 22:44:06 +0000 http://poliblogger.com/?p=12490#comment-1364512 [...] Like comments by Hugh Hewitt that I noted over the weekend, I find it problematic (to be kind) to basically accuse those with whom one has policy differences of what amounts to treason. And no, I am not being hyperbolic here–to say that critics are actively using their words to further the defeat of the United States, with the commensurate death of troops such a scenario entails, is to say that they are traitors. While it is hardly impossible to envision persons acting out of brazen self-interest to the point that their actions could be traitorous. However, for foreign policy experts to have an intellectually honest disagreement with Podhoretz hardly constitutes seeking America’s defeat, it is called having a different opinion. Last time I checked, having one’s own opinion was wholly appropriate, nay even constitutional, in the United States of America. And while one may wish to gripe about the media, the bottom line is that Podhoretz doesn’t like the media coverage because it isn’t saying what he wants it to say. [...] […] Like comments by Hugh Hewitt that I noted over the weekend, I find it problematic (to be kind) to basically accuse those with whom one has policy differences of what amounts to treason.

I mean, please: what in the world can one say that OBL would want to “partner” with the Democrats to do? I really have a hard time seeing the Democratic Party of the United States to be especially interested in OBL’s vision of the world. As such, what in the world in Hewitt talking about?
