Andrew Sullivan: Gobsmackingly Hypocritical [Karl]

After years of decrying “Christianists,” Excitable Andy writes of “The Christianism Of Obama.”

He has nothing critical to say about it, of course.  Indeed, he has now created a new class of “moderate Christianists” heretofore unseen at the Daily Dish to which Barack Obama can appeal.

Sullivan also writes that “you could see this coming a while back.”

Funny, I seem to recall writing about it for months and having Sullivan disagree with me.

To see what is in front of one’s nose needs a constant struggle, does it not?

In the pantheon of Obama suck-ups, this ranks right up there with Keith Olberman’s defense of Obama’s FISA flip-flop.  It may be worse.  Then again, we have known for a while now that Andrew Sullivan is Keith Olbermann with an accent.

(h/t Memeorandum.)

Update: HotAir-lanche! And based on the Star Wars reference, I am guessing Allahpundit is responsible.

    Bow low before your Lord of Lords, Xerxes!

    I mean, Obama.

    Is it true that Obama had an enima and Andrew Sullivan fell out?

    Sullivan’s not a slathering attack dog, Karl. He’s a will-o’-the-whisp.

    “Sullivan’s not a slathering attack dog”

    Andy outsourced that to the beagle.

    Hmm. Due, ironically, to the right of Sullivan’s post is none other than a “Paid for by Obama” advertisement.

    And that good Sir Karl could not abide; for he did rise to his feet and with his gauntlet he did smite Sir Andrew upon the gob; for which Sir Andrew suffered keenly and did blubber.

    He’ll stop at nothing to avoid a cock blocking.

    Andy generally has foreign object blocking his view.

    Dan - I suspect Andy is more of a cat-o’9-tails kinda guy.

    I don’t even know who andrew sullivan is but he sounds like an utter dipsh*t.

    With these situations I always picture that guy from office space who just moves the report from one department to the other and ends up being laid off. Yelling: ‘What the hell is wrong with you people, why can’t you understand” – the nuance or something. Because this is, you know, so totally different….

    Yeah, Andy’s a real people person too!

    I’d love to have a presidential candidate proclaim all of these government givaways unconstitutional and that he’ll not just direct agencies to stop but veto every bill that has them in it.

    I think we need a refresher on the rules:

    Republicans and conservatives invoke religion = theocracy
    Dems and proggs invoke religion = enlightenment

    Obama needs to get himself baptized before he goes around lying about being a Christian.

    Swearing allegiance to the “Black Value System” doesn’t make one a Chrisitian.

  18. Comment by Jim Treacher on 7/1 @ 3:16 pm #

    When was the last time Sullivan wrote something that wasn’t a rationalization of his own public self-contradictions?

  19. Comment by Rhymes With Right on 7/1 @ 4:33 pm #

    Whereas homosexualists like Andrew Sullivan simply want to impose their own gonad-driven agenda on the rest of us.

    I have to admit, I never heard of secular christianity!

    Well, he did offer the Paulnuts a place to come, chill out, and converse months back. Oh, wait, I’m wrong. Excitable Andy forgot to turn those comment things on. My Bad!

    “I am the Mouth of Obama”. “Who dares to treat with me?…..So spake Sullivan.
