Andrew Sullivan: Hillary Wins Again

I'm not sure why people think his opinion matters.

Makes me wonder why conservatives even get up in the morning.

:shrug: :D

I'm not sure if I'm joking or not,and that's the scary part.

When he is writing in opposition to the war...don't see any comparisons of him to Manson then...

Guess these people are only credible when taking a position popular here eh?...

If you say these people are credible when they are speaking in favor of your interests, you can't then say - when they are speaking in opposition to your interests - that they are loony unless something specific has changed (other than the underlying message).

Let's not legitimize pukes here, people. :D

Do you agree with him all the time,none of the time,or,like those blasted pesky DUers,only when he writes something that you like and agree with,such as this piece here?

Are you yourself consistent in what you like from him and what you don't like from him? DId you agree with him on everything before this piece on Hillary? If not,and I honestly hope that isn't the case because that would just be scary,isn't that doing the very same thing you're talking about?

Guess these people are only credible when taking a position popular here eh?

You could,I suppose,argue that popular doesn't equal right,which I'd agree with,but if his "popular" opinion is wrong,couldn't that also mean his "unpopular" ones are as well.

But I think he is a credible person and take what he has to say seriously...I don't immediately demonize him simply because I happen do disagree with him at times...

That the inverse apples,and that you shouldn't say someone loves him because they happen to agree with him at times.Perhaps those people are just like you and they find him credible,though not always agreeable,as well.

I do not demonize him as so many are. I would not say as you did in response to this thread being posted that some would quote Charles Manson if he praised Hillary...

Sometimes he's just another inside the beltway type with zero credibility. Nothing wrong with taking a peruse on his blog (hey, there are a wealth of interesting links), but I think it is a mistake to take him too seriously. He has a product to sell just like everybody else.

There is a difference.

Either a persons opinion is worth listening to or it isn't. And its worth is based on a judgment of the persons credibility. If he is credible when making an argument you agree with, he is not less so because he makes one you disagree with....

He's been wrong, I've corrected him, and he failed to correct himself. He targets Dems for stupid silly stuff so that his RW readers will keep coming back for more. Then he calls Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld a war criminal to keep his left flank. It's a pattern. Watch it. He's done this to Clinton countless times. You know I'm not a fan, but he often goes after her with absolutely nothing a la the '90s. I do not take him too seriously in the credibility category. Where I will compliment him with is the following: a wealth of links to all kinds of places unmatched anywhere in the blogosphere, a place to remain informed of conservative ideology, especially economic, and a huge variety of topics you won't always find sticking with liberal blogs. He also is a very gifted writer. But his opinions I put low on the list of assets his blog provides. You get burned enough by him, and you realize he's no different than Joe Klein or any of the other snark artists inside the beltway.

figure. People will go negative on him, even if they agree with something he said. Sometimes he'll say something that makes sense, but you know he is a rabid Clinton hater, so just keep that in mind. He'll praise a Dem one day and utterly destroy them the next. It's how he keeps traffic up -- getting readership from the left, right, and center. In fact, I am cynical enough to think that is why he'll throw Dems a bone from time to time and the next instant link with Powerline to some smear on that same Dem -- increases the traffic.

It definitely pays to read him just to realize I am definitely NOT a conservative. He's a good writer but not a very good pundit (in terms of being right or making correct predictions). I didn't watch the debate last night so I can't comment on who won, I just think his opinion is worth not much more than any of us here or elsewhere on the blogosphere.

Repeat that meme again, please, in case anyone hasn't heard yet,

And, do it again. And again . . .

is the same thing as saying she's inevitable? How is that?

In fact such praise says nothing could about Hillary or her positions. Just another reason to oppose her.

if you read his blog, that's pretty clear. He's no fan of hers.

He'll turn on somebody without a moment's notice. I will repeat to you what I said to SaveElmer -- do NOT take Andrew Sullivan too seriously. He'll fail you every time.
