William Kristol, the influential neo-conservative founder and editor of The Weekly Standard, is calling for the resignation of Republic Party chairman Michael Steele over the GOP chairman's comment that the war in Afghanistan is "a war of Obama's choosing" and is "not something the United States had actively prosecuted or wanted to engage in." You are, I know, a patriot. So I ask you to consider, over this July 4 weekend, doing an act of service for the country you love: Resign as chairman of the Republican Party." You can watch Steele's remarks, below, which were made at a Republican event in Connecticut that was closed to the media, or click here.
Here's how Kristol, a passionate supporter of both the Iraq and Afghan wars, puts it on the magazine's website:

Shouldn't this be posted under Left Wing Loons? If Lindsey Graham is one, surely Kristol is too.

"Neocon Loons" would make a real active category.

Yeah, but it would piss Tull off, so we can't have that.

Yep he's a left wing war mongering kook just like Bush and hObama. Good eye! Koch libertarians suck. Call em Rockerfeller Republicans, neo-cons, or whatever, and they still suck.
Steele should resign. To many unforced errors, as Krauthammer put it tonight. He's almost as incompetent as Owe-bama. Almost.
Obama's first all-by-his-lonesome budget, btw, calls for a $1.17 trillion deficit.
You're not afraid that will cost the GOP the 5% of the black vote they command?

Ok, THAT was funny.
Liz “BabyDick” Cheney and DNC: Ideological Soulmates? By: emptywheel Saturday July 3, 2010 5:53 am A number of people have taken the DNC to task for its Rovian attack on RNC Chair Michael Steele for comments suggesting we might fail in Afghanistan (Glenn Greenwald, Greg Sargent, Adam Serwer). The only thing I would add to their comments is to note that not only a majority of the Democratic caucus in the House–as Glenn points out–but also two-thirds of Democrats in polls are ready to end the Afghan war, most of them strongly. Is the institutional Democratic Party trying to score political points on an issue that a solid majority of their party opposes? Really, we’ve gotten that stupid?!? But what really demonstrates the stupidity of the move is how it puts us in ideological and political partnership with Liz “BabyDick” Cheney–who has called for Steele’s firing over his comments. “RNC Chairman Michael Steele’s comments about the war in Afghanistan were deeply disappointing and wrong,” Cheney’s statement read. “The chairman of the Republican party must be unwavering in his support for American victory in the war on terror — a victory that cannot be accomplished if we do not prevail in Afghanistan. I endorse fully Bill Kristol’s letter to Chairman Steele. It is time for Chairman Steele to step down.” Where BabyDick calls Steele’s comments “wrong” DNC calls them “unconscionable.” Where BabyDick demands that the RNC Chair “must be unwavering in support” for the Afghan war, DNC warns that Steele’s “words have consequences.”
They call themselves neocons and have documented proud participation in their 60 plus year old movement. That's good enough for me.

I don't think like that. Sorry, its about performance, and Steele's made way too many unforced errors in the past year.
