As I have been thinking of Tony, the last time I met him was on April 10th at Brent Bozell's Media Research Center's Dishonor Awards, where Tony received the William Buckley for Media Excellence. It's hard to believe that was only three months ago. Tony gave a wonderful speech. I would encourage you to watch it here. As I was there that night, having been a presenter, I went up to Tony...

Levin, in full whining mode : I have noticed some of the smears lobbed at William Buckley in other places since his death; Jesse Helms is in for even more of it. Other prominent conservatives will face the same. Unfortunately, such is the nature of these things now. Poor, poor Jesse. Soon after the Senate vote on the Confederate flag insignia, Sen. Jesse Helms (R.-N.C.) ran into Mosely-Braun...

And – most of all — I don’t see how NBC has the nerve to say that both critics and supporters agree that “Helms led the rise of the modern conservative movement.” Until Martin Savidge said so, I had never heard anyone say anything even remotely like that. I’ve heard many people or groups credited with leading the modern conservative movement: Ronald Reagan, Barry Goldwater, William Buckley,...

... captured and tortured themselves. Old hands will recall the case of the CIA Beirut station chief, William Buckley, taken hostage in Beirut in 1984 by Hezbollah or Islamic Jihad, and held until his death there in 1985. An operational assignment to Beirut after the Buckley affair was a personal security nightmare -- but the heightened concerns were limited to that rough neighborhood....

I'm seriously. What the fuck? William Buckley's place goes on the block and Goodwife Lopez's reaction is as follows : Yes, it's hard not to notice that 73rd East 73rd Street is being sold by Barak realty. Read into it what you will.

Pat Buchanan is a racist, anti-Semite and Holocaust denier, and worse than all that he gives conservatism a bad name. In 1991 William Buckley wrote a long essay called "In Search of Anti-Semitism" for National Review magazine. In it, he took on two fellow conservatives: Joseph Sobran, who had been an editor at National Review, and Pat Buchanan, whose columns and remarks about Jews and...

... failure in pushing an isolationist foreign policy in response to Hitler’s rise, needed a New Look. William Buckley and others supplied it: a combination of moralism based on absolute good and absolute evil, along with a preference for war over diplomacy. Scoblic makes his case persuasively for the the last half of the twentieth century. I’m not so sure that the case works as well...
