Entry: Who is "Banned in DC"? (A Sycophancy so Immense...) Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/who_is_banned_in_dc_a_sycophancy_so_immense#29593 Post contents: I now realize what's going on with The American Conservative: the Neocons recognized it as an effective and principled threat to their fraudulent conservatism, and so instead of bashing it, sought to infiltrate and co-opt it, just as they did with the GOP. First step: insert Neocon Ron Unz as publisher. Step two: begin bashing principled traditional conservatives like Buchanan and other writers at TakiMag from within and without its covers. McConnnell, who until Unz took over had excellent editorial judgment, is now in a bit of a bind. He should either insist on a firewall and completely re-take the reigns, or resign. Otherwise, how can he in good conscience stay at the helm of just another Neocon front when the whole casus belli of The American Conservative to begin with was to provide a principled conservative alternative to Neocon propaganda?
