"Good to see DUers oh so concerned about national security. /sarcasm"

Why "sarcasm"? Is it somehow a bad thing if the people who post at Democratic Underground start showing concern for national security?

If Democratic Underground posters are now expressing concern for national security after a long record of apathy, that sounds to me like a GOOD thing. Something to celebrate, not be sarcastic about. It could be a signal that our efforts (by "our," I mean we conservatives) have paid off. It shows that we may have finally won the greater debate.

What's your preference -- that Democrats become concerned about national security, or that you get to keep having an "enemy" around to argue with?

Just asking.

It IS a bad thing for DUmmies to focus on a White House Press reporter who asked softball questions as a national security risk.

Anytime, anywhere in the world a bomb goes off, a hostage is taken, or a plane goes down the DUmmies accuse the United States FIRST of being behind it. They don't give a rat's behind about real threats from Islamic extremists because their goal is make President Bush out to be the next coming of Hitler and the greatest threat to global security.

So, when the DUmmmies get a grip on who the REAL threats to national security are then I'll think it's a "good thing."

"sarcasm" because in reality, they dont give a damn. They're not now "at long last" showing any concern for national security. They just see something with which they hope to bring the Bush administration down with.

The next time a Democrat President gets into the oval office, he could hand the Iranians our nuclear launching codes if he wanted to, and they'll shrug their shoulders and say something along the lines of "Oh well. It's in the interest of world peace"

Could it be the irony?

You are suggesting via your response to low-bridge that "history" of DU'ers doesn't matter. But only that they be taken at their word in the here and now. The irony is -- Democrats also generally take this position -- that one should drop "historical" relevance in favor of the "now".

And upon what basis are Duer's at nauseum going after Jeff Gannon -- his alleged "history".

Irony.
