I quote, you decide

Seung-Hui Cho. Remember him? He’s the chap who shot up Virginia Tech back in April and left 32 people dead in two separate attacks, then offed himself. Want to know how the libbie wingnuts really felt about the gunman? Nothing more to see here, old news, move on. No — hold on. Some quotes:
“My heart aches. Of course I mourn the passing of the thirty-two Virginia Polytechnic University students, as do we all throughout the globe. Nevertheless, I cannot forget how my heart hurts for the thirty-third victim, the one the media never seems to count among those killed, (gunman) Seung-Hui Cho . . . Cho longed for comfort and company. All he received is chiding. Even in death, (gunman) Seung-Hui Cho is scorn. I am forlorn. . . Cho lived in shadows, deep and dark. He attended classes at a prestigious University. He was a scholar, a writer. Yet, he was shunned. . . As a child Seung-Hui Cho was ridiculed and bullyed. As an adult he hid; he hoped to avoid the taunts and teasing. . . Cho (the gunman) was a tormented soul . . . long-suffering spirit . . neglected man . . . This is not a time to teach fear. It is an occasion, an opportunity to reflect. Perhaps, we might learn to love every being, even those that appear to be different or distant. Seung-Hui Cho My Sadness for yours.”
That’s straight from DailyKos. Not some stray comment on a thread, but THE featured Kos thread itself, titled, Seung-Hui Cho. I Mourn Your Life and Loss, by Kos ‘diarist’ Bcgntn. This is the same DailyKos that Democrats running for president paid homage to over the weekend at the site’s “Yearly Kos” convention in Chicago.
While we’re on the subject of caring and compassion, Kos diarist WinSmith, several weeks before the Cho thread, posted a featured ‘Diary’ subtly titled, Why I Don’t Care About Tony Snow, after Snow’s announcement in March that his cancer was back:
. . . why do I have to pretend I’m “praying” for Tony Snow? . . . Why do I have to pretend I care about Tony Snow? . . . That I send out my thoughts to his family? I don’t. I don’t care about Tony Snow. At all. . . He’s not in my thoughts. I have no empathy for him.”
WinSmith then went on to denounce the “other side” because of it’s “raging, irrational hatred” and because “there is no logic in their universe. No empathy.” But. WinSmith wants you to know he isn’t saying he’s glad Snow has cancer. He just doesn’t care that Snow has cancer because Snow doesn’t agree with WinSmith on foreign policy, taxes, gay rights, gun control, etc.
“I never said that Tony Snow ‘should’ die of cancer,” protested DailyKos’s Jon Stafford in his featured ‘diary’, posted on July 18, 2007. “Nor did I say that I wanted him to die of cancer.” All he said was that “I really didn’t care if [Snow] died” of cancer. But in his April 9Th Kos diary titled, Tony Snow’s Illness: A Medical Prospective, this was Jon Stafford’s medical prospective: “My first thought is: F-— Tony Snow. As the Bush regime’s propaganda minister and apologist he deserves whatever he gets, and worse.” In an ‘update’, Stafford now admits he forgot he had wished death on Tony Snow. Jon Stafford is a Registered Nurse.
DailyKos’s OCdem writes: “Why is everyone afraid to say the obvious? Joe (Lieberman) is very religious and arguably cares more about Israel than the US. I think it’s that simple.”
“Lieberman is an AIPAC shill,” replied Sonoftherepublic. “Lieberman formerly [sic] a Democrat and now an Independent representing the state of Israel in the US Senate should be recalled by the voters he is failing to represent . . . the only two Dem candidates not already bought and paid for by AIPAC are Dennis Kucinich and Mike Gravel.”
Explaining why liberals loved Saddam so much, Kos poster Scottsdale Jack notes that, “To Lieberman and the rest of the Israel lobby,” Saddam had to be removed because “he dared to launch missiles at Israel during the first Iraq war.”
“Send (Lieberman) Burgers, matza ball soup, and Camels and maybe he’ll keel over of heartdisease [sic] before the clock expires,” wrote rrheard.
“Cheney’s a big lizard that won’t die,” wrote another Koster after crushing news the Taliban failed to whack Dick Cheney in Afghanistan earlier this year. “Personally I’ve always thought a heart attack would be far too good for this career criminal,” thoughtfully replied another Koster.
There was a time when the Democrats’ press chums reliably could conceal all of this stuff simply by not reporting it, but no more, thanks to Al Gore’s inventing the blog! Libbies can now let it all hang out, give their candidates a helpful push over the cliff, force them to pander to DailyKos and the rest of the ‘Only-One-Square-Tissue-Per-Restroom-Visit’ set with promises to make America safe by teaching sex in Kindergarten, bombing allies, planting white flags in Baghdad, making nice with Iran, Syria, Castro, Chavez et al and impeaching or censuring moron Bush for sinking the Maine and staging the Gulf of Tonkin to launch an attack on Saddam! That’s a helluva winning platform.
If you’re one of the oppo research boys for, say, Fred Thompson and you want to flush out Hillary down the road when she discovers she’s a ‘centrist’ again, just a click of the mouse and your toughest call to fill the latest 30-second spot is whether to go with Herself’s YouTube Kos convention macaca or her bragging to some other nut blog crowd about her vote to stop the Dictatortot from listening in on phone chats between some al-Qaeda type in Pakistan and some al-Qaeda type in Pakistan without a warrant.
If you want to know why libbie hangouts like DailyKos are adorned copiously with four-letter words and cheer-leading for the Taliban and al-Qaeda, the poor little darlings are just frustrated. “It’s a force that’s defeated. It’s a force that is frustrated. It’s a force that is acting in cowardice,” said Afghan’s Hamid Karzai about the enemy in his country, which sounds like the enemy in this country. American troop levels in Iraq are higher nine months after Pelosi & co. boasted they’d stop the war, they can’t even get a non-binding resolution on Iraq through and Congress’s approval rate is 14%, but Democrats are shooting for 3% or less. And blogs are all that libbies have to show for. Poor, poor libbies.
Anyway, that's...
My two cents
