The Humanity of the Far Left

Reflected by a lefty blogger. Allah is all over it like a wet blanket. Compare this statement:

"Those who participated in the butchery must be punished. The mob may oppose the Coalition occupation. They may support the insurgents. They may count the death of soldiers as victories. But there is no understanding the brutish slaughter of four unarmed men who were working to rebuild their country. It was a senseless crime of great barbarity."

With this one:

"There are real repercussions to Bush’s folly. . . . I feel nothing over the death of merceneries [sic]. They aren’t in Iraq because of orders, or because they are there trying to help the people make Iraq a better place. They are there to wage war for profit. Screw them."

Which one belongs to the Daily Kos? (tick tick tick tick) Times up. Yep, the second one. Who owns the first? The Arab News. What is more telling is that Herr Kos has also taken down his original post. Allah and lgf (and I presume the rest of the neocon blog community) are sticking to this guy like flies.

Update: Armed Liberal over at Winds of Change has a take on Kos' blog entry deletion and explanation of that deletion. Liberal also notes that Kos is mainstream: "he was involved in the Dean and Clark campaigns, and is building a political consultancy that works on national Democratic campaigns".
