The unacceptable face of warblogging

I'd meant to post this a few days ago. I don't know much about American politics, being British, but the late Senator Wellstone sounds a bit like an American answer to Tony Benn (only without the arrogance). Even his political opponents respected his principles although they didn't agree with him.

Respect for opponents doesn't seem to cut any ice with some warbloggers, though. One, calling himself "The Anti-Idoitarian Rottweiler" dances on his grave, with lines like this:

As far as I'm concerned, this piece of traitorous sh*t useless idiot can rot in Hell forever, I'm not ever going to say something nice about a load of crap that was willing to trade the future of my two boys for the fake halo of being "principled".

Words fail me. It seems to me that some of the pro-war crowd are now so convinced about their arguments that anyone that disagrees with them are not only misguided, but evil.

That's the sort of thinking that causes atrocities and genocides.

I refuse to link to this rabid animal myself, but I will link to A Skeptical Blog's 'fisking' of it.
