Only morons who didn't understand him admire Buckley. We more intelligent socialists loathe him.

MRC analyst Jessica Anderson noticed Koppel's slip as he
praised Buckley in the opening of the December 14 Nightline:

"I suspect that there are people who've been tuning into
Firing Line for years, awed and admiring of Bill Buckley, who for
all that, have barely understood a word the man has said. They
just like to watch. Then, of course, there are those of a more
liberal persuasion who tuned in for the simple pleasure of
listening and loathing.
That tended to be a visceral thing, having
much to do with Buckley's staunch cold war, anti-communism, which
even in the '60s never wavered. The problem with William F.
Buckley Jr. was that you could dislike him, but could never
dismiss him as a crank or a right-wing nut. He has always been a
brilliant debater who has taken the trouble to think through his
own arguments."
