Entry: The Revolution and the Right Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/the_revolution_and_the_right#17343 Post contents: Since Evan was kind enough to defend me against the incomprehensible charge of trying to split the anti-war vote in such a way so that Mac could win the election, I won't bother to respond to this. But even more misleading is the idea that the Israeli lobby is masterminding this presidential election. If by that lobby one means the neocon power elite, then one is left having to explain why the neocon press has gone nuts over Obama, who is the weakest in his support of the Israelis of all the current prominent candidates. Barnes, the New York Post,and many of the FOX contributors seem to adore Barack, quite independently of his views on the Middle East. Moreover, the hot topic in foreign policy on FOX this week, aside from the success of the Surge, has been the Russian nationalist danger and the necessity of putting Putin in his place. Supposedly Mac will do this job for us, while extending NATO eastward to include "all democratic peoples." It is arrant nonsense to assert that neocons are "only about Israel," any more than Hitler was only about Poland. The neocons have a global vision of empire, in which bringing to power their Isreali clients is only a very small part. Sent at: 2008 05 16
