Reading William Kristol's supercilious op-ed piece in today's NYTimes, one is left to wonder exactly what gives with the weak-kneed attacks, the slight jabs launched from behind the safe skirts of the powerful that insinuate that Barack Obama has Marxist tendencies. We're heard these kind of attacks before, masquerading for what passes as logic among the right-wing illiterate. Illiterate in the ways, thoughts, and struggles of the working class; the Republican moneyed-class suggesting they understand the workers of American yet don't know about supermarket scanners or the effects of 3 tours of duty on the family. The right wing trot out these rumors with regularity and use code words to stir the masses into a frenzy: Muslin, madrases, and now Marx. It's mush. But never having to subsist on porridge, they wouldn't know the taste.
Enough.
By Mr. Krisol's logic, he's as much a Marxist as anyone else in the country, because he's read the work and by reading the work, that makes him one. God forbid we call a recession a recession, a war a war, or the current administration the worse in history.

Enough.
If William Kristol were a war hero, or had a career of remarkable civic achievement or public service — then perhaps he could be excused for substituting here say for logic. But what has William Kristol accomplished that entitles him to look down on his fellow Americans and insult their intelligence?
