The Venom of the Left

Andrew Sullivan reposts a cold blooded wish that the'bloodshed continues in Iraq'. Key grafs:

The only way to get rid of this slime bag WASP-Mafia, oil barron ridden cartel of a government, this assault on Americans and anything one could laughingly call "a democracy", relies heavily on what a shit hole Iraq turns into.

And this:

"This time they need to die in defense of a lie from a lying adminstration to show these ignorant, dumb Americans that Bush is incompetent."

This is the far left and as Sullivan points out, there are 30,000 subscribers to the site that hosted the forum where the post originated. I'm not representing that every one of these 30,000 agree with this person, but it gets you to wondering. I wonder if this person agrees that deposing Saddam was a good thing for the Iraqi people. I wonder why this person "laughingly" thinks America is NOT a democracy. Last I checked, we just elected an actor over a rank and file career politico--if THAT isn't democracy, I would really like to know what is. Would this person think that democracy the rule of the majority that think like her?

UPDATE: Sullivan notes that the Democratic Underground removed the page where the post lives. . .makes you go HMMMMMMM.
