Andrew Sullivan Accuses Palin of Lying About Gays
2008-09-19 01:23:00 Almost exactly a year before I joined my current congregation, West Hollywood’s mostly gay synagogue, Congregation Kol-Ami, National Gay and Lesbian Task Force (NGLTF) Executive Director Matt Foreman, addressed the membership. And while I have great respect for our rabbi, Denise Eger, we don’t always see eye-to-eye on matters political. Last March, she ...

Andrew Sullivan Says's Karl Rove Is "Playing" Netroots Who Cover Palin - He
2008-09-13 16:12:00 Blogger Andrew Sullivan advances the idea that we liberal bloggers are being "played" by Karl Rove in that we're giving too much coverage to McCain Palin gaffes and not enough to the good deeds of Barack Obama. There's a good point and I think it's a byproduct of the newness of the addition of Palin, but we've also got to get back in to the habit of telling Barack and Joe Biden news. I have worked to do this myself, but we have to counter the online effort of the GOP, which is spamming YouTube of late with these Palin videos. Someone on a video channel is working to pump up views artifically and dump Palin videos. What's good about this is that we all will get sick of her that much faster.

The Nag, the Witch, and Andrew Sullivan
2008-09-01 08:52:00 Last year, Joan Walsh of Salon wrote about Hillary-hatred in the media in an article named The Nag, the Witch, and the Media. Sen. Hillary Clinton’s strong lead with Democratic female voters has undermined the media myth that women might be toughest on a Clinton candidacy. But there’s one group of women Clinton is still having ...
Tom Cruise Channeling Andrew Sullivan!?!?!?
2008-08-24 07:59:00 I had heard that Tom Cruise’s cameo as studio executive Les Grossman in Tropic Thunder was particularly comic. And the box office start did not disappoint. It was the funniest I had ever seen him. Watching his performance alone was well worth the price of the ticket. While I was prepared for his comic turn, I ...

Didn't Realize How Much Andrew Sullivan Personally Dislikes The Clintons
2008-05-07 12:54:00 I don't share Andrew Sullivan's strong personal disliking for Hillary and Bill Clinton. The strong adjectives he uses to describe both Bill and Hillary Clinton as "frauds", quoting others who classify Hillary as "narcissistic" and "hungry for power" (as if every Presidential candidate isn't), and Hillary and Bill as "shameless" for competing. His choice of what to blog about often sends jabs

Hitchens calls Andrew Sullivan "a lesbian"
2008-04-14 18:44:00 During an appearance on the US cable news channel MSNBC, Christopher Hitchens traded a few barbs with Andrew Sullivan on the topic of Obama and religion.Sullivan is gay. At one point Hitchens tossed out a remark, apparently aimed at Sullivan's sexuality.SULLIVAN: Two things. One, it's important to clear up that he [Wright] did not say "The Jews are going to get you" in some conspiratorial, classic anti-Semitic fashion. I think that's just —HITCHENS: He [Wright] thinks only Jews are going to object to [Rev. Louis] Farrakhan and [Libyan leader Moammar] Gadhafi. Excuse me?SULLIVAN: No, he didn't say "only."HITCHENS: No, but —SULLIVAN: Again, you keep playing with that quote. We're happy to have it on the record. And now you've made me forget my second point, which is —HITCHENS: Oh, well, don't be such a lesbian. Get on with it.Clearly a cheap shot - the type of goading remark that gets yelled from the back of the school bus. Some have argued that it's evidence of homopho...

Andrew Sullivan?s Insight into Obama
2008-01-29 01:33:00 Barack Obama has transcended the traditional support for a liberal candidate. He has both conservatives and libertarians seriously considering voting for him. Andrew Sullivan sums up what is different about Obama: He is not a traditional top-down big government liberal. He’s a pragmatist who believes in finding ways to empower people to run their own lives. ...

Andrew Sullivan's Moving Take On Barack Obama
2008-01-27 11:22:00 I generally enjoy Andrew Sullivan's blog, even when I dont' agree with him. But this one in particular was very not usual. He wrote in a moving prose about Senator Barack Obama's candidacy and how it impacted him, especially after the South Carolina win. Sullivan wrote:Because America still means something, and every now and again, a person captures it: the restless, liberal hope for a better future, under the sober constraints of a conservative constitution. That was Kennedy. It was also Reagan, as Bill Bennett gracefully recognized tonight. It's real. You can feel it. And who wants to win the presidency by defeating it?Sometimes, things come together. Watching a black man win the South Carolina primary in a landslide by transcending race: I can't help be moved and inspired. Like so many of my generation and many, many more younger than me, Obama makes me believe in America again, after seven years of brutal, painful, searing disillusionment. I won't let that go. Neither,...
Snark of the Day: Andrew Sullivan
2008-01-26 12:03:00 I remember similar Clintonian feminists in the 1990s trashing, smearing and sliming women who dared to complain about the sexual harassment and abuse of women that Bill Clinton - with his wife’s full knowledge - engaged in for years. This couple really do corrupt everything they touch. Andrew Sullivan, Atlantic. Of course Andrew the excitable is mistaken. People who defend abuse of women are not feminists.  The Clinton are not feminists.  They are misogynic.  Gender feminism died July 20, 1998: “I would be happy to give him [Clinton] a blow job just to thank him for keeping abortion legal. I think American women should be lining up with their presidential kneepads on to show their gratitude for keeping the theocracy off our backs.” Hat tip: Memeorandum.

Andrew Sullivan: Ron Paul's Republican Refugees
2007-12-20 04:15:00 Andrew Sullivan hits the nail pretty much on the head. Many mainstream conservatives are taking a long hard look at Ron Paul because they are fed up with the current Republican administration. Now whether that will translate into hard votes is yet to be seen. But even this much should be worrying the neo-cons currently in control of the Republican party. And if not them then the rank and file Republicans have to see what George Bush is doing to trash their party. ~RJH Andrew Sullivan article link Ron Paul's Republican Refugees19 Dec 2007 04:46 pmEzra makes a valuable point:Paul's candidacy is an indictment of the system, not an argument for who would best administer it.Peter Suderman asks:What's the breakdown of issues that matter to his supporters, and after the campaign is over, are there lessons to be drawn for other candidates or issue-oriented groups? Why and how, in other words, did this unassuming country doctor - a man who, between his personality and his positions, is al...

Why I Admire Andrew Sullivan
2007-11-08 01:38:00 Because he is honest with himself, capable of reassessment and owning up to mistakes. He isn't the sort of person who, after five years of rising mayhem and strife throughout Project Iraq, breaks into a triumphant jig and hoots, "It's working!" because the number of killings is fewer this month than in some previous ones. He's not obsessed with vindication.I too found currency once, when the dust from 9/11 had yet to settle, in the idea that maybe Iraq was a threat that needed to be 'dealt with'. I wasn't a vocal supporter but I was a tacit one. At some point though you have to face reality, ask the tough questions and put every answer through the gauntlet of skepticism. You have to be able eventually to recognize hubris and folly, and back away from them when you do. I have special admiration for anyone doing it publicly, as he has.I was wrong because a) one critical element of the case for war was simply not there (whether lied about or misrepresented or incompetently judged...

Andrew Sullivan anti-Messianic maniac-BDS answered
2007-07-21 21:55:00 Andrew Sullivan's a pretty smart guy so I must assume he's being a little dishonest when he heaps a fairly large tablespoon of hatred upon our president, George Bush, for an innocent statement and some interpretation from David Brooks (yes, that's right. I sprang for a subscription just for this post): Let's analyze his fear: It's more disturbing in a way than MoDo's fantasies or Frank Rich's tragedies. After four years of mounting, centrifugal chaos in a country he invaded on false pretenses, with no plan for victory, Bush is still "empowered" by a sense of religious mission and the aphrodisiac of the appearance of power. If you need any more convincing that Bush isn't merely not a conservative, but a tragi-comic version of what conservatism has long opposed, then read David Brooks's column. Here's a direct quote from the Decider himself: "It's more of a theological perspective. I do believe there is an Almighty, and I believe a gift of that Almighty to all is freedo...

"General" Andrew Sullivan Dishonors General Petraeus
2007-07-19 20:35:00 “Well, to be candid, that’s a hypothetical that I’m just not prepared to address. We are determined to do all that we can, while we’re given the opportunity to try to bring this to as successful as reasonable a conclusion as is possible, and that is really what is just what I’m devoting all my intellectual energy and physical energy to at this point in time, not thinking about what the implications of not getting it right are.” -- spin from one on the side of Cheney and “extremist, Republican partisans,” General Petraeus in response to Hugh Hewitt’s question of what we might expect as the consequences of defeat in Iraq.It is unfortunate; though not surprising that Andrew Sullivan would have qualms about General Petraeus’ interview with Hugh Hewitt yesterday and chose to pre-emptively judge the move on the part of the general as “working from the agenda of extremist, Republican partisans.” This, he believes “renders Petraeus’ military independence ...
Is Andrew Sullivan Serious about Gay Marriage?
2007-01-04 13:12:02 Over the years, as I have watched my brothers and male friends get married, I have observed how that institution changes them. Men who once enjoyed frequenting bars and "cruising chicks" focused on developing strong relationships with their wives. In short, marriage transformed these men. It seemed that their wives' feminine qualities helped tame their masculine impulses. One of the objections I have raised to calling same-sex unions "marriage" is that I see a different dynamic in such unions as I do in opposite sex relationships. To be sure, I have witnessed numerous gay couples settle into the same patterns as their straight peers. While it seems more common for lesbians to adapt to the responsibilities of relationship, such unions have also had a transformative effect on many gay men as well -- even without a woman's presence. If we're to be serious about marriage, we must recognize its transformative power. By meeting the obligations of this ancient institution, includi...

Andrew Sullivan?..Bigot??
2006-08-06 18:48:16 Whoa… someone remind me never to get on the bad side of Hugh Hewitt….. Sullivan’s “christianist” rhetoric, like a great deal of other similar rhetoric, is deeply offensive, and is in fact hate speech, designed not to describe but to incite, specifically to incite an emotional, irrational hatred of the person(s) to whom it is applied. Sullivan has never defined the term, but its accordian-like quality allows it to expand to take in Roman Catholic-turned-Presbyterian, Arlen Specter-supporting big tent Republican me. It is a label intended to be both derogatory and dismissive, one designed to avoid argument, especially arguments that can’t be replied to, for example, the argument that same sex marriage has never –not once in the history of all the states and the federal government– received the assent of a majority of legislators and the signature of the executive. It has never not been rejected by a majority of voters when placed before ...
