Among bloggers, he is probably most famous for his tactless response to the June 2003 video images of the corpses of American military contractors being dragged through the streets of Fallujah, about which he wrote, "I feel nothing... Screw them." While conservatives — and many liberals — criticized Moulitsas's intemperance, the controversy did nothing to slow the site's skyrocketing readership. Indeed, the incident gave him his trademark.

I'm glad Time mentions it, although is practically dismissive about this disgusting quote and the mentality it represents. It is not mere "intemperance", but a lack of respect for the dignity of human life in the service of attacking one's country. If he wants to revel in this "trademark", then more's the pity for him and his devotees.

If he reveled in it, he wouldn't have deleted it and shut down google caching of his site.
