Kumbaya
I believe that the best way for us to win the war in Iraq is to come together - the administration, Congress, and Republicans and Democrats - to find a solution that will allow our troops to come home with Iraq united and free, with the Middle East stable and the terrorists denied a victory.
Joe Leiberman
Atrios' reaction is evocative of my unabridged response to Mr. Brooks, which went like this ...
Dick Cheney and Joe Lieberman have said that voting for Ned Lamont encourages terrorists. CNN anchor Chuck Roberts ponders on air whether Lamont is the al Queda candidate. Daniel Henninger echos the violent imagery of the wingnut blogosphere with his piece "Democrats Knife Lieberman" on the Wall Street Journal Opinion page. Syndicated columnist Cal Thomas outright calls Lamont supporters terrorists by labeling them "American Taliban". And they send the facile and amiable neocon, David Brooks, over to the New York Times and the Mercury News to make nice? Kumbaya, and can't we all get along?
No, we can't. The rational middle is rising up to reject the failed policies of Bush, and the failed vision of those who enabled him. The anti-science-pro-superstition agenda, the unchecked executive branch, the civil war in Iraq, the destabilization of the Middle East are each unacceptable outcomes and as a whole are disasterous for this country and the world. So no, Mr. Brooks, we aren't going to make kissy face.
What the fuck it is with these guys? They fucked up. They fucked up badly. And now they want us to hug them through the perilous night?!
Fuck you Brooks, and the Leiberman you rode in on.
Shut the fuck up about foreign policy, and get the fuck out of the way. Fucking losers. Fucked up this country. Fucked up the middle east. We're going to be paying for their violent, ignorant hubris for generations.
Jeeesus.
