This affair is one more mile in our journey to Bizarro-World. Even Charles Johnson over at LGF had a post congratulating obama on a job well done, with an admonition to his critics to do the same. The subsequent thread had the usual posters in sycophantic agreement. It appears to be gone now. Surreal. This administration and its incessant propaganda is having an effect on 'our' side.

Oh, you haven’t seen Bizarro World yet...

They’re great socialists (in a Jim Jones way I guess) and defenders of their coast... and so misunderstood.

I lied, he did:

No, this doesn’t make hostage-taking justifiable, and yes, some are clearly just gangsters - especially those who have held up World Food Program supplies. But the “pirates” have the overwhelming support of the local population for a reason. The independent Somalian news site WardherNews conducted the best research we have into what ordinary Somalis are thinking - and it found 70 percent “strongly supported the piracy as a form of national defense of the country’s territorial waters.”

I messed up. It isn’t gone, it’s an open thread. Whoa, am I an idiot.

LGF has been turning left for a while now. I no longer read their blog.
