re: #358 iceweasel

Weigel writes for the Washington Independent, which is as far removed as possible from the organisations you mention. Not to mention that nothing Weigel has ever written (that I have seen) suggests he has any sort of liking for those views.

If you find anything Weigel has ever written that suggests he shares McCain’s views, or a photo of him in a Klan hood, please do let me know. I will be the first to condemn him.

until then, I guess I’m left wondering why you’re worried that a lefty journalist who has done great work exposing right wing extremism is somehow secretly…a right wing extremist.
I also wonder why you aren’t raising these worries about the Weekly Standard being associated with McCain.

The Washington Independent may be far removed, but Weigel was in the same room.

I am not suggesting he shares McCain’s views. I am suggesting he doesn’t mind going to a party thrown by McCain’s allies. I am certainly not worried that Weigel is a right wing extremist. I am suggesting he doesn’t mind hanging out with them. It would make me uncomfortable. Him, not so much, apparently. He does not need to be like me. I am only making observations about him. Maybe he was following a story.

As for your last question, I guess I’ve been busy. Should the Weekly Standard be put higher on my list of priorities? :)
