Introduction to the VDH WatchColumnist Victor Davis Hanson is a popular "middle-brow" conservative commentator. He doesn't have Big Pundit status. But he speaks directly to the kind of angry white guys who would agree with Tom DeLay on most issues, but who would like to think of themselves as a bit more sophisticated than a tobacco-spittin' fan of OxyContin radio, and a bit less Puritanical than the no-sex-before-marriage virginity-pledgers.People who don't really like to take the times to actually read books but who enjoy watching documentaries on the History Channel - popularly known as the Hitler Channel for all its programs on the Second World War (not because of a political slant) - find pleasant references to historical events in VDH's columns. After all, he even has the "high-brow" catchet of an association with Stanford's Hoover Institute. At my own blog, I do an irregular feature called the Chuckie Watch, which focuses on a distinctly low-brow purveyor of the Patriotically Correct. Here at the Blue Voice, I'm initiating the VDH watch. My following post will be the first installment. (See also the Index to the VDH Watch.) Tags: vdh watch, victor davis hanson | +Save/Share | | |
