Bill Kristol was caught wrongly attributing a quote to Michelle Malkin. The quote came from Michael Medved column.
Kristol:
Still, as the conservative writer Michelle Malkin put it, “For the work-hard-to-get-ahead strivers who represent the heart and soul of the G.O.P., there are obvious, powerful points of identification.”
Medved:
It’s not just Christian zealots who recognize Huckabee as “one of us”; I’ve spoken to non-religious Russian immigrant Jews who love him because he’s down-to-earth, plain-spoken and unpretentious non-celebrity. For the work-hard-to-get-ahead strivers who represent the heart and soul of the GOP, there are obvious, powerful points of identification.
Not to be outdone, David Brooks confuses Ward Churchill with Ward Connoly. It must be their striking physical resemblance.
Ward Churchill
Ward Connerly
Churchill is a neo-Nazi and Connerly is a black Republican. See how easy it is to confuse the two.
Update: Tas correctly takes me to task for calling Ward Churchill a neo-Nazi. I should say that Churchill is a radical nut. Churchill sees racism where there is none. He was also a member of the American terrorist group the Weather Underground.
Err.. When did Churchill become a neo-Nazi? If I recall correctly, he used terminology insulting to Nazi's to criticize 9/11 victims ... At least that's how we finally heard about him. And those quotes were lifted from a much larger essay that nobody bothered to read the rest of -- Malkin and her ilk wanted another scalp so they could boost up their traffic numbers, hence popularity, hence advertising rates. Anyways, Churchill's wiki page (nor its discussion page) also mentions nothing about him being a neo-Nazi, so I'm not sure where that came from.
