That seems to be where many of us part company. Arnett and Moyers have allowed themselves to become mouthpieces for the worst kind of evil many have ever seen in their lifetimes. They are (in Arnett's case, "were") powerful enablers of an irreconcilable death cult intent on killing millions.
I am not a ghoul and do not in anyway rejoice in tragic brought to other humans.
You would for someone you knew to be evil. It's just a matter of degree. You certainly would for Usama bin Laden.
People assign different degrees of evil to different acts. Maybe you reserve your rage for the actual doers of evil. Others apply it to the enablers.
Personally, I still subscribe to the "with us or against us" doctrine. That doesn't mean I'm happy about what happened to Woodruff. It just means I'm not using it as an occasion to forget what ABC News has come to represent.
Of course I wish Bob Woodruff a quick and full recovery. The man has four children. But I also wish him, and his ABC News family, a new perspective on this war we're fighting.

You can read them for yourself.
This I can wholeheartedly agree with. My contention is that we may better persuade these people with compassion. Overcome them with kindness, if you will. The assessment is that emotional liberals react positively to love and kindness. Not to be misunderstood for weakness or apathy. Although some may perceive it as such.
