“I didn’t mean that Brooks had BDS”

I was actually taking it a step further than mere BDS. David Brooks has gone out of his way to slime job the GOP. He even went so far during the presidential campaign to say the Republicans deserve defeat—because they were insufficiently progressive. Brooks is a big government Republicans and hostile towards traditional thinking conservatives. It is very fair to describe Brooks as an Uncle Tom conservative—and this is why the NY Times finds him so attractive. By the way, his Bobos In Paradise: The New Upper Class and How They Got There, is a superb work. Unfortunately, it’s been mostly downhill since then.
