Given my own life, I give everyone else more than one serious failure before I condemn them. I now apply that method to Krauthammer.

This is the first time I've ever read anything of his that I did not largely or totally agree with. It is also, not coincidentally, the first piece of his where it seems that his emotions were driving his logic, rather than being his usual, clear and able thinker.

So I'll just say, strike one, and you get more than one.

Click here, then click the blue CFR button, to join the anti-CFR effort (or visit the "Hugh & Series, Critical & Pulled by JimRob" thread). Please do it now.

Dittos. Krauthammer can't always be right. All I can say is "Oy vey!"

[drlevy88]

er... krauty is also alleged to be a gun-banner.

Me too, wow. This hurts to read.

CBB,

Has Chuck not gone on record being in favor of gun control in the past?

You are more tolerant than I am. I am beyond disappointed. And I'm not even a Christian. Up 'til now he was one of my three favorite pundits.

Other neo-cons have been kicking paleos like Mel lately. They are just using us.

Agree with you completely. I'm not sure what field he's coming out of, but I think all religions could stand a bit of interreligous instruction. What differentiates a Jew from a Christian, a Christian from a Muslim, etc.

It would not be far fetched to project that some Jews take their faith seriously enough to feel personally responsible for the more reprehensible acts in the history of their tradition.

As a Christian, I admit feeling defensive about the Inquisition, for example.

I think the only columnist that hasnt used up at least one strike with me is Mark Steyn, A-number-1.

Ditto that.

Yes, I agree with all you said.

[olivia3boys]

I read Krauthammer every week and there's only one other piece I can think of that I disagreed w/ (until today)--the one where he argued that Andrea Yates (drowned her children in the bathtub) should not have been convicted.

So this is his strike 2 for me.

emotions were driving his logic

Emotions drive his logic everytime he writes on the middle east.
