'Screw Them' (A leftie blogger/Demo fav reacts to Fallujah victims)
Best of the Web - Opinion Journal ^ | 04-02-04 | JAMES TARANTO

Let the people see what war is like. This isn't an Xbox game. There are real repercussions to Bush's folly.

That said, I feel nothing over the death of merceneries [sic]. They aren't in Iraq because of orders, or because they are there trying to help the people make Iraq a better place. They are there to wage war for profit. Screw them.

Not near as hot as I would like it to get for Markos Moulitsas Zuniga, who runs the Angry Left Daily Kos

No where near it...

Either the people who write this trash are so blinded by their hatred for Bush that they're mentally unbalanced - or they're evil SOBs.

The Americans ambushed the other day were try to get food to people who needed it. Not that the truth matters to these people.

"Every death should be on the front page"

I HAVE to ask then:

Would the author advocate pictures of partial birth abortions on the front pages of newspapers?

Would he advocate the horrible pictures of the people who landed on the pavement after they jumped to their deaths on 9/11?

Are terrible deaths something we should all be exposed to, or just those deaths which might reflect badly on President Bush?

Evidently Frost, Donnelly, and Hoeffel have all pulled their adverts from Daily Kos. For that matter, it seems the Georgia challengers and Stephanie Herseth that also had ads on there pulled almost instantly, apparently before the Fried Man blog even noticed. I won't be surprised if Mitakides, who's the only one left, is also gone soon.

Well, for starters, it helps not to visit sites you know are going to infuriate you.

I knew of one person (peripherally, and some years back) that got killed there. I can pretty much promise you that Zuniga isn’t worthy of eating his excrement – or looking at it either. That, most likely, would be the case concerning everybody involved in the incident, with respect to Zuniga.

They’d probably be the first to tell you to relax and ignore the dope – too many other things in life to involve yourself with that are enjoyable. And he has things to answer for that will complicate his life and already have, IMO.

What a sick SO you know what! (trying so hard to maintain being a lady!) I am so appalled by these anarchist hateful slugs that I could just scream. Of course we are there for more than to just help Iraqi's! We are there to help rid the world of a terrorist and a terrorist haven! All to help save the sorry necks of creeps like this idiot Godless piece of junk! /rant will continue!

BTW: The WSJ has a article today linking Saddam to the WTS first bombing, and there is also tons of evidence linking him to OKC for that moron's information.

What is absolutely fascinating about this is the crap Kos is pulling to cover his tracks. The link to the original thread now links to a sort-of-apology. He even managed to erase the Google cache.

Here is a link to the original post saved by another blogger.

Other discussions in the blogoshpere:

Michael Friedman has been contacting Democrat candidates advertising on his site and asking them to drop him, with results.

Little Green Footballs has been hitting it, HARD.

Interesting background on this guy. Not only is he a California lawyer but well plugged in to the Dean and Kerry campaigns and fundraising;

One of the most popular liberal blogs. Kos is Markos Moulitsas Zuniga, a one-time consultant to Howard Dean. The interesting part is that he isn't a consultant turned blogger, he was a blogger turned consultant... Kos was recently able to channel this activist energy to raise money for Kerry and the Dems -- more than $100,000 in one week. (http://www.forbes.com/bow/b2c/review.jhtml?id=7380)

Markos Moulitsas Zuniga, a California lawyer whose left-leaning DailyKos.com blog receives more than 1.6 million visits a month, charges between $700 and $2,000 a month for ads... This week, he raised $25,000 in donations for presumptive Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry and the Democratic Party, bringing his personal fundraising total to $85,000... Blogs could be a key for the Democrats as they try to counter Republicans' historic fundraising advantages, Moulitsas said. "One way the Democrats can fight back is to court online activists - those who frequent the blogs and other partisan sites. It worked wonders for [former Vermont Gov. Howard] Dean, and nothing says it can't work for other candidates and the party itself." (http://www.startribune.com/stories/587/4675053.html)

...getting around the Campaign finance "reform" laws, of course.

Thanx, McLame.
