What annoys me most about someone like Gerson is the complete unwillingness to question his own views, assumptions, and logic with any degree of intellectual honesty once in a while. That leads to a serious lack of self-awareness as well as being utterly oblivious to the contradictions in his arguments.
It also leads to the tendency to waive away any "liberal" objections as products of "a fever of Bush hatred." As if at this point, there is no rational case to be made for intensely disliking the man. Must be BDS. Unless you're a "conservative." Sort of.
To be fair, everyone does this to some extent, but it seems to have become the primary characteristic of all the dead-enders.
