What's the latest on the right wing attacks on William F. Buckley?

[BOSSHOG]

Ole Bill stated publicly that our endeavors in Iraq have failed and we should get out. No doubt, limbaugh and his ilk have trashed the conservtive icon unmercifully, questioning his patriotism and loyalty to the bush administration. I'm sure his name is being dragged through the mud that is faux news.

Or have I missed something? Maybe they just haven't started on bill yet.

2. Buckley, to his credit...

...has been saying that for a while actually. But I haven't really heard anyone trashing him for it.

4. Just a little sarcasm on my part

I find it fitting that the modus operandi of the right (to trash anyone talking against bush in a machine like manner) would go out the window when one doing the trashing is a conservative god.

3. Buckley Sometimes Takes Contrary Positions

such as turning over the Panama Canal in the late 70s(?). Because of his stature, he typically gets a little leeway from the right.

5. Maybe because he's not a neocon.

Buckley comes from the old blue-blood northeastern Ivy League, country club republican set which has fallen so far out of favor with the wingnuts. Of course, the chimperor is part of the same set, but he's rubbed enough horseshit, brush-clearing and fake Texas twang over it that he thinks nobody knows the difference - hah! Fat chance.

6. I'd put his sorry as to work

clearing brush on my one acre. And mine is not fake and used only for photo-ops. It would kill his pompous ass to do an honest days work.

7. Who cares?

and why would what Rush said about Buckley be an important topic on a web site chiefly dedicated to the aims of the democratic party?

8. ... for the same reason RW boards enjoy it when Democrats bash Dean

9. Does everything posted here have to be "important?"

If so, I forgot to check in on that point, because I don't know who decides it.
