The Cone Project for 5/17/08

Nowhere is Cone shown up as the arrogant fool he actually is than when he pulls his trademark false equivalency stunt, such as seen here, where he (a) tries to group McCain in the same category as Obama Rama, and (b) by implication, tries to put words that were never said in George Bush's statement.

Regarding Cone's implication that McCain is some sort of "appeaser", he links to a weak attempt at a hit piece by some former Dem mouth, who tries to say that McCain favors appeasement. When reading what McCain actually said, it's clear that the accusation is not even close to being correct.

In addition, the ex-Clinton hack (and Cone, by his own implication, in conjunction with the rest of the Nutroots/Blahgosphere) takes George Bush to task for the Knesset statement.

Mark Steyn put this latest bit of Dem/Lefty/"Progressive"/Libthink babble into proper perspective:

"Nonetheless, Barack Obama decided that the president's speech was really about him, and he didn't care for it. He didn't put it quite as bluntly as he did with the Rev. Wright, but the message was the same: 'That's enough. That's a show of disrespect to me.' And, taking their cue from the soon-to-be nominee's weirdly petty narcissism, Nancy Pelosi, John Kerry, Joe Biden and Co. piled on to deplore Bush's outrageous, unacceptable, unpresidential, outrageously unacceptable and unacceptably unpresidential behavior."

.....and:

"Increasingly, the Western world has attitudes rather than policies. It's one thing to talk as a means to an end. But these days, for most midlevel powers, talks arethe end, talks without end. Because that's what civilized nations like doing – chit-chatting, shooting the breeze, having tea and crumpets, talking talking talking. Uncivilized nations like torturing dissidents, killing civilians, bombing villages, doing doing doing. It's easier to get the doers to pass themselves off as talkers then to get the talkers to rouse themselves to do anything.

And, as the Iranians understand, talks provide a splendid cover for getting on with anything you want to do. If, say, you want to get on with your nuclear program relatively undisturbed, the easiest way to do it is to enter years of endless talks with the Europeans over said nuclear program. That's why that Hamas honcho endorsed Obama: They know he's their best shot at getting a European foreign minister installed as president of the United States."

"Weirdly petty narcissism". I like it.

Describes Cone perfectly, don't you think?
