Shame/Belated Sontag Rant

Now, I've been fortunate to read this lovely link of the on-line posting of the Democratic Underground. Proving once again there are more Communists and Fascists in the far left of this country than there are in the former CCCP.
Oh, you gotta laugh at this sort of shit...

These poor college kids and hopeless idealists are a great comedy skit. They're like Susan Sontag's ridiculous piece in the Times magazine a few weeks back. She blathered for five pages about the atrocities of the pictures from Abu Grhaib without once mentioning the pictures of Berg or Pearl being beheaded.

So lemme get this straight, Susan, you perpetually disenfranchised pain-in-the-ass... We are a deeply flawed society because we like to photograph sexual degradation, but extreme radical Islam's penchant for execution (by butcher knife) on videotape doesn't warrant comment? Gotcha.

Why does the Times insist on giving space to people like Sontag? You can't give the main stage to people who come from such a polluted perspective. Her lousy one sided apologist rant should have been countered in the same article with a piece by some rtight winger to give some balance. I'm still confused about why she's revered in the first place. I found nothing illuminating about anything she wrote. Same claptrap moralizing I heard in Feminist Lit 101.
