Comments on: Peretz is pulling no punches http://neoneocon.com/2005/04/02/peretz-is-pulling-no-punches/ Tue, 06 Jan 2009 11:18:36 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.1 By: Bookworm http://neoneocon.com/2005/04/02/peretz-is-pulling-no-punches/#comment-286 Bookworm Sun, 03 Apr 2005 15:39:00 +0000 http://neoneocon.com/2005/04/02/peretz-is-pulling-no-punches/#comment-286 The article eventually showed up on JewishWorldReview.com, so you can link to it. It's a fabulous article, both because it graciously admits that the naysayers were wrong, and because it points out that they'd rather hate Bush than admit reality and move into the future. (So much for the "reality based community" to Left speaks of so proudly.) If there's an un-Fisking -- that is, a post that doesn't critically deconstruct, but approvingly breaks down an article -- I did that over at my blog.<BR/><BR/>BTW, I admire you for continuing with the New Republic. I still force myself to read the NY Times, the LA Times and the WaPo on line, but I do so because they're free. I don't feel comfortable funneling money to news organizations that are stuck in a time warp. The article eventually showed up on JewishWorldReview.com, so you can link to it.

The fact that he praises Bush is as credible and surprising as hearing Rush Limbaugh do it.
