1. Politics of personal destruction?!!? Sad.

2. Cite please?

The problem is that the institutionalised left views this as a political battle for personal gain, while, in reality it is a fight for the continued existence Western civilisation and our own nation.

Sad.

On a deeper level, they harbor an extreme underdog complex. They'll excuse anything an alleged "oppressed" group does.

I don't blame Bush for causing Islamic terrorism. I blame him for invading Iraq instead of fighting Islamic terrorism.

I agree with you on that.

My comment was a little absurd... Nobody at Kos will post about the terror plot at all.

It took me about three seconds on Kos to find someone writing about the terror plot:

• 1) Terrorists genuinely exist and are trying to kill innocent people, regardless of anything done by George W Bush.
  
  2) Not all reporting done on terrorist attacks is produced in order to cover up something else.
  
  3) Not all reporting about terrorism designed to keep people scared.
  
  4) The thwarting of a major attack is genuinely newsworthy.
  
  Complain all you want about the shitty coverage, about the twisting of the story by interested parties, about the new flying restrictions, whatever. But don't deny the facts on the ground. It makes you look like a Republican.

As he says, don't deny the facts -- it makes you sound like a Republican.

Sure the culture of victimology.

There's your very first post this morning on the subject:

• Looks like the Brits foiled a plot of "unimaginable horror". . . . The left will be the death of this nation yet unless we stop them at the polls again this November. At least this event will give us some fodder to contrast W with the Ds and expose the latter as the dangerous fifth column collaborationists that they have become...........

So, fortunately I could stop looking there.

Huh? What's so low about that? MY post frames the essense of what the debate will be this electoral cycle and in 08. Which party is better positioned to ensure our national security.

The average people of this country, which is more than a majority, doesn't give a flying fuck about the PC psuedo intellectual elitist crap that people like the Kos kids, Hillary, Pelosi, Ried and Neddy Lamont vomit up on a regular basis.

Why is this such a hard lesson for the Ds to swallow?

I think that's a very bold and honest statement for the moderator to offer to such a shrill group. I'm glad to see some rationality there.

Sadly, that encouragement is quickly eviscerated by the "comments" section below that mod's blurb. To call those commenters delusional is an insult to the deluded.

It gets worse, take a look at the DU. Of course all of these people are part and parcel with the MoveOn/MichaelMoore/Howard Dean crowd. The face of the New Democrat party!

Shorter Penske: This event will give us some fodder to expose Democrats as dangerous fifth column collaborationists. What's low about that?

I didn't say knowingly or intentionally, but I am concerned that a 20/20 hindsight analysis at some point in the future might show that the policies of naive restraint and appeasement as advocated by some on the left, all in the UN and most in Weurope will essentially amount to a negligent collaboration. Much like Lloyd George's appeasement of the Nazis.

And this is what the debate should be about. Let the public decide (with 04 as our guide I am confident in the greater wisdom of the American electorate).

I don't spend a lot of time on Kos, but I don't think that was the moderator. It was one of many diarists. That happened to be diarist at the top of the list of recommended diarists, so I went there first. The stories post on the home page were from early this morning. (Kos is on the West Coast. So is Hank, apparently. Neither of them have posted yet about this morning's attacks.)

The comments at lefty sites like Kos and DU and at righty sites like LGF are full of wingnuts. Relying on what these random blog commenters are raving about is pretty pointless, unless you are looking for illustrations of imbalanced behavior.

Those guys are slackers. This was breaking news at midnight last night. The only reason I didn't post was I don't post after drinking and I was having some Zin at the time.
