The Left is, and always has been, intellectually bankrupt.

[friendly]

The liberals are opposed to capital punishment only for criminals (one of their key voting constituencies).

Our own soldiers and Republicans should be killed as much as possible, whenever possible.

...the marginalization of the left in this country, already profound, might become irreversible.

PLEASE, no one wake me from this fabulous dream!!!!

[Faraday]

Can someone please define where "free speech" ends and sedition begins? Some of the anti-war activists seem to have crossed this line. The Constitution, including the First Amendment, is not a suicide pact. Thanks to Andrew Sullivan for exposing the America haters in their own words.

[Mister Baredog]

describes President Bush as an unelected, maniacal tyrant, a caricature that is useful to Bush's political enemies.

What they don't get is that they are just as useful to BUSH. You know the saying "with enemies like these...."

Ping!

This lazy form of moral equivalence is not rare among the radical left in this country

Those are questions the rest of the antiwar left never answered categorically before the war, because they didn't have to. Now they do.

But they won't, and one of the reasons they won't is that Sullivan wrote this column.

On the left, Sullivan is now a turncoat; he is no longer one of them, no matter how much he might protest otherwise. To now do as Sullivan suggests is to join him on the Dark Side. Few will dare.

There is a second reason, and it is that so many on the "mainstream left" live their lives in close little circles that admit no dissent. They are totally out of touch with their fellow citizens, but they do not know it. Michael Moore imagines that a majority of Americans agree with him; Howard Dean imagines that he can win the Presidency. Neither has a clue what most Americans really think; everyone they know agrees with them.

And so these mainstream lefists will not recognize how offensive most people found the comments of Professor De Genova. They understand that he stepped over the line, but it does not seem all that offensive to them... not on a gut level. And so they think they can ignore it, not understanding that failure to condemn will be seen as quiet support.

We saw the same thing again tonight. MSNBC imagines that they can "explain away" the behavior of their Baghdad correspondent Peter Arnett, who appeared on Iraqi State Television to denounce the Bush Administration. Peter's future is with the Dixie Chicks, and so is MSNBC's if they do not drop Arnett like a hot rock... but they can't even see it. They tell us he merely performed a "professional courtesy" and that it was no big deal. They are totally out of touch; another bunch of New York liberals like Michael Moore who imagine that everyone thinks the same way they do.

This war is going to bust the chops of the American left, and it is going to do worse to the American press.

Even if you take Iraqi numbers of dead at face value, even if you believe that every explosion in Baghdad has been the result of allied air power, the number of civilian casualties is still minuscule...especially when compared to the civilian casualties racked up every day (sometimes literally) in Saddam's prisons, torture chambers, and firing squads.......
