Glenn Beck, Bill Kristol, and the Unholy Alliance of Radical Islam and the American Left
David Horowitz's NewsReal Blog ^ | February 8, 2010 | David Horowitz

Posted on 02/08/2011 9:46:48 AM PST by HorowitzianConservative

Bill Kristol is entitled to his optimism about democratic revolutions in the Islamic world. Perhaps the elections in Egypt will turn out better than those in Gaza where Hamas now rules a terrorist state; Iraq, which has instituted an Islamic Republic; Lebanon, where Hezbollah now rules a terrorist state; and Afghanistan, which is a kleptocracy wooing the terrorist theocracy in Iran. What he should not be doing as a conservative leader is demonizing Glenn Beck, who has done more to educate Americans about the unholy alliance between the secular left and the Islamic jihadists than anyone else. Kristol needs to  apologize to Beck for comparing him -- outrageously -- to the conspiracist Robert Welch, and should be embarrassed by his own ignorance of the agendas of both American radicals and their jihadist allies. At this point in time, such ignorance is not only inexcusable but dangerous.

Here are some sources for Kristol to consult:

David Horowitz, Unholy Alliance: Radical Islam and the American Left, 2004

Andrew McCarthy, The Grand Jihad: How Islam and the Left Sabotage America, 2010

"Radical Islam's Alliance with the Socialist Left" a section of DiscovertheNetworks.org

The Only ones in the U.S. that “started” this mess are the Zero agents Ayers, Dorn, Hoyers, Moran and Code pink that have been active in Egypt for the past year. Even using Egypt as a staging ground for thier attacks on Israel.

No the one who "started" it is Mubarak who, even as he ruthlessly persecuted secularists, slyly favored the MB for the past few decades by allowing them to create the most extensive charitible and political network in Egypt. Those who claim that Mubarak hates the MB, should ask yourself this: why did it become the largest and best organized opposition force during his regime?

If you, and other freepers, who defend this welfare bum, lived in Egypt Mubarak would put you in jail or worse. How can you defend such a man?

Oh mobsters not Mob.

The founders meant when they said they wanted to avoid mob rule they didn't mean mobster.

what they meant, they didn't want people that were not part of the system to have a voice in government. That is why they believed only land holders could vote.

Kristol was an early and outspoken supporter of Sarah during the 2008 campaign.

I saw him on the news shows just this morning refusing to bad-mouth Sarah, despite a kind of stuttering bully-job by the dumb-@ss John Heilman who wanted Kristol to denounce the hate-spewing Republicans, a la Sarah.

Kristol said he thought that after SP left the governorship she had a great opportunity to outline some fresh international & domestic policies which he was eager for but that she had ‘disappointed’ him somewhat by not doing so as effectively as she might have.

But he added that she is young and very smart and that there are still plenty of elections ahead of her.

Kristol isn’t a movement conservative but he has battled hard on some movement issues and he hasn’t run from Sarah or turned on her, which is more than most of the national Republicans can say.

“...Bill Kristol only advanced Palin’s name because he thought she would drag down the Republican ticket...”

Oooohhh I get it now. So if he had really supported the Republican ticket then he would have OPPOSED her being on it, in which case he would REALLY have been SUPPORTING the ticket that HAD SARAH ON IT.

Sometimes it just takes a real genius to make these things plain to the run-of-the-mill knuckleheads like me.

No one is DEFENDING Mubarak, we just aren’t willing to join the Islamofascist that want to kill us.

Your embrace of the Muslim Brotherhood is well unAmerican.
Where do you think OBL’s 2nd in command is from? Egypt, Muslim Brotherhood. Al quaeda is an offshoot of MB.

If you think this is some “democracy Movement” you are sadly misinformed:
From BBC:
During the 1980s the Ikhwan (Muslim Brotherhood) attempted to rejoin the political mainstream.

You have bought the propaganda. This battle has been going on since the MB assasinated Sadat. But hey if you want to back murderers go for it. Unless you are a Islamofascist you will join the rest of us on their hit list.

The Muslim Brotherhood is officially banned and subject to frequent repression Successive leaders formed alliances with the Wafd party in 1984, and with the Labour and Liberal parties in 1987, becoming the main opposition force in Egypt. In 2000, the Ikhwan won 17 seats in the People’s Assembly.

Five years later, the group achieved its best election result to date, with independent candidates allied to it winning 20% of the seats.

The result shocked President Mubarak. The government subsequently launched a crackdown on the Ikhwan, detaining hundreds of members, and instituted a number of legal “reforms” to counter their resurgence.

The constitution was rewritten to stipulate that “political activity or political parties shall not be based on any religious background or foundation”; independent candidates were banned from running for president; and anti-terrorism legislation was introduced that gave the security forces sweeping powers to detain suspects and restrict public gatherings.

Yeah right Mubarak supported the very same people that assasinated SADAT and made numerous attempts to murder himself. Where do you get you propaganda?

The last time I checked, Mubarak was honoring the peace treaty with Israel. Is that your REAL problem with him? Your rantings about him enabling the Brotherhood are so redundant and unsourced, it makes me think you WANT them to take power.
