The left is going to be the left, and, like the moonbat yesterday on Daily-Kos who indicated that she knew, as a lesbian, that IWannaMakeJihad would have her killed in Iran, that she nonetheless was swooning over the guy because of his speaking out against Bush. Such people's hate have caused them to become mentally deranged.
What yesterday accomplished was to give this utter tyrant a platform and legitimacy around the world (irrespective of what we think here), and particularly a platform to derive propoganda vistories amongst his own controlled nation, and others like it who are apt to seek to embolden and enrage their masses, who do not have the open communication and free information we have in this country.
They are the ones that sign up to kill our sons and daughters in Iraq and Afghanistan, and who these same madmen, particularly IWannaMakeJihad, would love to enlist to come here and do the same to myou and me.
Tragically, pathetically, disgustingly...and IMHO, yesterday was a vistory for the madman from Iran against fundamental American values and sensibilities...irrespective of Bollinger's attempt to put a sugar coating on a steaming cow paddy.
A valid, if pessimistic, view...but I’m seeing the bright side.
More Americans are now protesting Iran in public than before.
More Americans are aware of the Iranian threat than before.
...so our side is better off for the little man speaking here.
I agree with Jeff. No need to give the evil a respectable platform. What we are missing is a concerted effort of counter-propaganda to confront all lies - i.e. we are not engaged in the info-war, but they are. What MEMRI does, for example, should have been multiplied thousand times and shown to everybody - the evil in their own words - without giving it any legitimacy by inviting them into our own house.
Amen Jeff.
You think their hate has caused them to become deranged? I submit that it is actually the other way around: their derangment has caused an unreasonable hatred of President Bush.
