We may have hit a new low in the category of tasteless, ignorant comments made by one pundit about another . . .
Politico has an article today about Charles Krauthammer rightly depicting him as an eminently articulate and influential conservative critic of Pres. Obama. Then comes this [emphasis added]:
“There’s something tragic about him too,” Klein said, referring to Krauthammer’s confinement to a wheelchair, the result of a diving accident during his first year of medical school. “His work would have a lot more nuance if he were able to see the situations he’s writing about.”

What a scumbag-—typical too!
I’m sure his mamma is/would be proud of him and the way she raised him: utter lack of class.
Wow a homerun in one sentence! Liberals are fond of making fun of the disabilities of people they don’t like AND of accusing anyone they disagree with of not being “nuanced” (whatever the hell that really means) but I don’t think I’ve ever seen it done before in the same sentence!
What a douchebag.
Leftists should be shunned, and “we” allowed them to be mainstreamed. They were always an ignorant boorish bunch of commie instigator SOB’s, never to be taken seriously.
During WWII Hitler took ever tighter control of the military, sending ever more detailed commands from Berlin - yea, down to the platoon level. Of course, Hitler was giving those commands only on the basis of radioed reports; he couldn't see the facts on the ground.So if we are ever tempted to put Charles Krauthammer in the pentagon and give him operational control of a squad of troops in Afghanistan, I think the issue of his not being able to see the terrain and talk to the troops might come into play.
Not sure if this is worse for the companies he represents
or ..
if it indicates that he still confuses his DNC-procto exams
as some kind of special radar for him or periscope.
According to the left the disabled are a protected class, and like blacks, the homeless, women, the poor,they are always presumed to be noble - until they get out of line.
The leftists would be more than happy to imprison or even kill someone like Krauthammer, who they consider “dangerous”. That is theitr favorite word for any non-leftist, especially a smart one.
Being a Moron does classify as a disability under 0bama.
Leaving aside the ugliness of the comment, what does it even mean?
It’s like the Special Olympics, or something...
Joe Klein is an asshat. I saw him recently on Howie Kurtz’s show (can’t remember the name), with Amanda Carpenter, and he basically bullied her on the air, totally discounting her point of view.
He’s written vile crap for years. He, and Barbara Ehrenreich are the major reasons that I do not subscribe to Time Magazine anymore. ‘Pod.
I told someone yesterday...I’d rather be a liberal trapped in a room of conservatives, than a conservative trapped in a room of liberals. I reminded him that liberals are the most hateful people I’ve ever encountered.
My liberal friend (whom I’m workin’ on) paused quietly and said “It’s possible that there is a tiny bit of truth in what you say.”
This “project” is going to take a while, I’m thinkin’....
Klein is a lowlife. Just look at him. Total sleazebag.
Dr Charles is one of the very best and brightest on our side. The only show I watch regularly is Special Report All Star segment.
I see Charles on the FOX panel all the time and - until I saw this post - forgot Charles was in a wheelchair.
Liberals never grow up. They never mature.
What is this phallus head saying? That Charles would be a liberal like me if he could walk?
In his zeal to insult the man, he nuanced himself right out of the ballpark. Disgusting really.
Nuance what a ridiculous word to use why is subtle so important?

BUMP
So you've been to my family's annual Thanksgiving get-together, I see...
When liburls say things like this they get applauded. When conservatives say something like this they get fired. Joe Klein is an irrelevant libtard.
Hmmm....Never knew Charlie was in a wheelchair...Thanks for the knowledge..Charlie sure is an impressive gentleman.
Get the two of them in the same room on a debate - of any subject. Charles will “nuance” the floors with him.
What a small, creepy litle man Klein is.
That beard has been smacked by many a scrotum.
LLS
It's important to devils. Subtlety helps deceivers do their work. There's a couple of good examples in Genesis, so it's a very old accessory. :)
And if a conservative said this............
> Nuance what a ridiculous word to use why is subtle so important?
That’s easy. “Subtle” is sorta like “sneaky”. Like saying “Honesty is the best policy but the Truth should be mitigated.” Suits liberals to a tee!
Klein has a lot of class. Problem is: It is all low! What a complete and total 1st class putz!
Leftists should be shunned
Have to sisters, “leftist” I have shunned them ever since they married leftist who brained washed them. And, I would advise others to do the same. I will never become one of the PC’s.
Our Dad was an educator, taught us the principle values of being a conservative and what the Republican Party stand for.
The Democrats who claim to be Christians can preach to the choir but, I can not see how one can be a Christian while supporting those who push the abortion issue and vote for it’s continuations.
And Time wonders why they’re going out of business!?
I was the one sneaking extra mashed potatoes and gravy.
heh
How do you like this ad hominem: You're a scumbag, Joe. And you have an infantile, crippled mind.
This is another glaring example of how truly immersed liberals are in philosophy that 'the ends justify the means'. Words mean nothing. It's the intent and goals of the speaker that matter.
Joe will get a pass with this because regardless of his words, his intent is to suppress a conservative voice, which will reduce resistance to the liberal agenda.
This is %100 the reason why Barack Obama and Carrie Prejean can have the same opinion, but only one person suffers for it. It's why Obama's wiretaps and Guantanamo and Afghan surge are okay, but Bush's weren't.
It's not the ideas, not the words, not the actions that matter. It's the 'faith' behind them.
In small, rare doses, like, say, waterboarding, 'ends justify the means' can be a necessary evil. As a daily habit, this philosophy is the crack cocaine of fanatics, tyrants, and well meaning idiots.
What percentage of liberals do you suppose would support waterboarding Charles Krauthammer, if it would get him to stop writing, or to start bashing Republicans? All joking aside, conservatives wouldn't support waterboarding Joe Klein for holding opinions we don't agree with.
We believe it's a free country, and you can think what you will. They think it's too free, and time for a 'change'.
People like Klein are the reason I’m in favor of abortion ...
I favor abortion if “time limits” are removed ....
Proving once again that liberals are consumed with hate for all non liberals.
“While they applaud themselves for nuanced thinking ...in fact they only make the simplest distinctions:

Oh, he's got lotsa class. It's just low class.
Looks like Joe Klein showed his primary colors.
Charles is well above Joe’s pay grade.
Nuance defined in liberal terms is simply when they have run out of factual arguments to make on a given issue so they throw their hands up to each other and declare that they have explained it in every way they know how and we just aren’t “nuanced” enough to understand. The disconnect of course being that we understand, we just disagree with them. That makes us cretins.
Charles should have one of those custom built Segways!
Obviously, being a blind Obama-worshiping toadie, such as Klein is, is a far more disastrous disability because it limits one’s ability to think rationally. No wonder no sensible person buys the rag that pays him for such drivel.
Hey Joe, we got your nuance right here.
Joe Klein might be a good writer if he didn’t look like a Neanderthal.
Oh geeeeeeez. That is just pathetic. Why are people going so extremely low? I mean...the liberals have it all right now, don’t they? I’m sick over this...I hope Mr. Krauthammer doesn’t gives comment the it the time of day and simply considers the neanderthal source.
