Conservatives saw the savagery of 9/11 in the attacks and prepared for war; liberals saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks and wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding for our attackers.Here are some examples of their hysteria.
Kevin Drum seems to think that insulting liberals "is patently more despicable than anything Dick Durbin ever said". (Dick Durbin recently likened things happening in Gitmo to things that happened in the holocaust.)
I don't get it. Frank J. at IMAO.us suggested (mostly in jest) "Now, to test our power, I think we should see if we can make a groundswell of anger against something a Democrat says that's completely uncontroversial." I think that is what the Dems are trying to do.
Remember that Carl Rove is Bush's political advisor. He is supposed to be partisan. His job is to make sure his side wins and the other side loses. Given such a task, I'd bet that he would choose to work for the side that he believes in. Is it that bizarre to think that he doesn't think much of liberals.
Are liberals that sensitive that when someone shows them in an unflattering light that they whine and cry? The answer is yes, I guess.
Don't forget that it was the Dems party chair, Howard Dean who said, "I hate Republicans and everything they stand for".
Check out Rhymes With Right's entry on this topic. It is very nice (plus he commented on this blog once).
