come on, John, have you ever spoken of "a couple of writers, writing for Bill Kristol", when a piece appeared in The Weekly Standard?

If you'll check my posts, you should find that I offer the writers names and attribute the views to them. As a serious reader of The Weekly Standard, you should know there are different views, however slight. And I would never attribute the views of The Weekly Standard to "the right." Last time I checked both Trent Lott and The Weekly Standard called themselves conservatives; yet it's the Standard folk who are the most vocal in Washington calling for him to step down.

To be still more clear, I think it's one thing to say The Weekly Standard is a voice within the right, speaks out of the right; but quite another to attribute it's views to something called "the right" as if there were no differentiation between their views and, oh, just to pick a voice at random, Pat Robertson. Or Pat Buchanan.
