This kinda goes along with this post as Beck elaborates even more on the notion that the Republican Party is trying to protect itself from threats like Bachmann and Palin. But shortly after the 3 minute mark, Beck hones in on Bill Kristol ripping him for not doing any research in his ivory tower while criticizing him for his ‘conspiracy caliphate theory’. Beck plays a clip from Dianne Feinstein suggesting that we don’t have a good understanding of Egypt and the Middle East as evidenced by the 2006 elections in Gaza, and then he plays a second clip from two-time Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld stating yesterday that the Muslim Brotherhood wants to establish a caliphate in the Middle East. On top of that Stu even points out that there’s a letter published at the Weekly Standard, Kristol’s own magazine, from the #2 person in Al Qaeda calling for an Islamic Caliphate.

Beck accuses Kristol of being part of the Republican establishment trying to hold on to power by attacking those he fears.

Glenn Beck says things, but he's not a sacred cow who cannot be criticized any more than BillO.

All this talk about "the establishment doesn't understand me" makes cons sound like a bratty angsty teenager.

F**k da establishment! Am I talking about a right-winger or a lib who says thinks like "down wit da establishment?" It sounds anarchist.

"Ivory towers" he says. That sounds like class warfare to me. I don't think the rich and successful should be demonized by either liberals or conservatives.

"Someone makes more money than me! The horror!"

I'm surprised because I thought Beck and Kristol saw eye to eye a lot on foreign policy, and Kristol picked Palin himself.

That said, I don't like infighting, Beck has enough pull to destroy Kristol so it's not a fair fight, but Kristol started it.

How much more do people need to see,hear and understand that everything has changed,not recently but a while back. No,I am not talking Alex Jones or George Noori type stuff. What I mean is this, people like Kristol,Krauthammer, and Steele ARE Republicans. Both the Republican and Democratic parties have become nothing more than faded labels,shadows of what they once were. Past icons of both parties (Reagan and JFK for example) would not even stand a chance of getting their perspective parties' nominations today. Nothing will really change until the stranglehold these two parties have on the electoral process is broken. I don't have an answer or clue as to what type of "parties" that could viably break their monopoly on power. However it's high time we found out.

You sound just like Alex Jones. You know railing against the "establishment" logically concludes with an isolationist stance.

What's so bad about Krauthammer? Very intelligent. And Steele is like Palin.

This may have been recorded before the news broke that West will be the Final Keynote Speaker at CPAC.

I honestly don't think that anyone has said this any better anywhere. Plain and simple......There is no such thing as Democracy in Islam. It is time the western World understands this and responds in a reasonable way.

Unfortunately, in Islam God is master man is slave-they are martyrs because they kill other human beings made in the image of God because they believe He wants them to. God is a harsh taskmaster.

In Christianity God is Father and Christians are His sons and daughters. If one becomes a martyr for Christ it is done by laying his or her life down out of love for another and for God and the gospel of Jesus Christ. God is love.

We are called to love and pray for our enemies and to do good to those that persecute us. America is not the Kingdom of heaven and our work as Christians is the work of the cross. God's concern is the redemption of men and women from the earth, purchased by the blood of Christ. Our lives belong to Christ and our commission is the great commission. We must continue to help the widows, the orphans and the poor just as Christ asked us do and to let our lives be a witness to the love we have found in His Son.

Neocons have loved Kristol for the longest time. They should still love Krauthammer.

This is all about OIL prices AND destabilizing the current world order.

Egypt falling to Islam's the Muslim Brotherhood will cause the Suez canal to close and oil will hit $110.00 or more a barrel.

This IS what the obama administration is hoping for.

I really don't understand what Kristol, Hayes, and others at the Weekly Standard and National Review are angeling for here. Why are they so excited about what is going on Egypt? Why are they so willing to hop on board with this notion that it is a democracy movement? What is in it for them to stick their necks out like that for a movement they know nothing about?

Kristol really crapped himself on this one.

I think Murdoch needs to open a portion of his "the daily" to true conservative thought. What does anyone think will happen? If that is exposed and this current administration does nothing about it, then get a president that will. BTW the next President is gonna have his/her hands full! I want the truth! I can see what is going on and with all due respect to Glenn that is what I thught when I heard about uprisings in Tunisia, Jordan, Egypt, etc. This is a clear attempt to surround and then attack Israel. Those at the standard need to stand up and tell the truth.
