So this guy has decided that because Andrew Sullivan supports civil liberties, low taxes, smaller government, a reality-based foreign policy, and transparency in government, that he can no longer be a conservative?  Does that mean Barry Goldwater could no longer be conservative?

So good ole Bryan pulls out the old “If you disagree AIPAC or Israel or Joe Lieberman, you are an anti-Semite” card by going after this quote of Andrew Sullivan’s:

All he writes about in this piece of propaganda is electoral strategy and the people he hates in the media. In a week, he hasn’t said a word about Sarah Palin’s foreign policy views. I know she’s being safely indoctrinated by Joe Lieberman and AIPAC as we speak, but the fact that Kristol, like the rest of us, has not yet been able to point to a single view of hers on foreign policy in her entire life, is eloquent enough. Aren’t we at war? Isn’t he supposed to care about national security? Is everything about pursuing power by any means to him?

Bryan’s response:

You liberals and your Jewish conspiracy theories crack me up. As I’ve pointed out before, any time liberals blame some nefarious plot (or preemptive war on Iraq) on evil neo-cons that is codeword for Jewish conspiracy. I swear they take this stuff right out of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. The idea that Palin (who I thought was a neo-Nazi because she wore a Buchanan button one time) is some how conspiring with Bill Kristol, Joe Liebermann and AIPAC is beyond hilarity.

I hate to break it to you, Bryan, but Andrew Sullivan is right.  Sarah Palin is being indoctrinated coached on foriegn policy by Joe Lieberman and AIPAC.

Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman is among several national security experts helping brief Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin on foreign policy issues as she prepares to hit the campaign trail while cramming for a debate with her Democratic opponent, Sen. Joseph R. Biden Jr. (Del.), in less than a month, according to officials from Sen. John McCain’s campaign.

Lieberman, who was the 2000 Democratic vice presidential nominee but is now an independent, has helped introduce Palin to officials of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, the leading pro-Israel lobby. In a meeting Tuesday, the day before she delivered her prime-time address at the Republican National Convention here, Palin assured the group of her strong support for Israel, of her desire to see the United States move its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and of her opposition to Iran’s aspirations to become a nuclear power, according to sources familiar with the meeting.

It seems that Andrew was correct and the Right is still reality challenged.  Why should we expect anything else?
