Here's the article referenced
Bravo Bret Stephens: the wunderkind does it again on the pages of the Wall Street Journal, writing about Colin Powell and showing penile integrity as he done did it! That's right, be scared, because soon McCain will lose the election and a socialist-fascist-communist regime will spread its red labial flaps across the sacred symbol's eagle. Do you understand how much the editorial page here smells like desperation? What does a young kid like you have to gain if McCain is elected? What do you have to lose if Obama is elected? The personal fear was evident in the liberals (let's just stick with Krugman, because he's always frightened about something) when Bush was elected, and then re-elected, because they knew that people would be killed and inequality would be allowed to reign o'er our nation. But reaaaallly, what is it for you? The neo-con tradition will end here, but how can you argue your hawkish stance without explaining what you have to gain? Do you like the idea of the economy trickling down? Does that turn you on? The only true explanation would be that you have never been good at anything, and somehow you found out that you don't have to be smart in order to get ahead: you just have to be belligerent. But you, Bret, you're really good at that. I noticed that your column is supposed to do with global perspectives on politics, but you just threw that idea out this week because you were itching to just go crazy and denegrate anything that Colin Powell could say about his former employer and the current state of his party. And that picture? Really guys? Who made the call "let's use that picture that Drudge used because it makes Colin Powell look like a monkey dancing between two rap stars." You guys are way smarter than I am, and if I'm able to make the connection of three black men, two of them "gangster rappers" (because according to every conservative white male that reads this newspaper, any rapper or black man in power is a gangster), and generally creating a cheesy and illegitimating aura around Colin Powell. Also, great placement on the link to Rush Limbaugh's rant (and seriously, the NYTimes, Washington Post, Financial Times and the Economist would never link to someone like that. To put it into perspective, how many times has the NYTimes linked a quote from Arianna Huffington within a McCain-bashing article? And hey! At least the Times recognize their bias, whereas who are the liberals in your opinion page?). So, finally, to take a play out of the McCain campaign's book, I'd like to call you out for having a second rate newspaper that nobody reads and is losing money, financially woeful, disgustingly behind in terms of technology and ideology, and doing a grave and everlasting injustice to the diminishing conservative intelligentsia. So Fuck you. (you can edit these last three words out if it allows for this to be printed)
