Their strength became the source of their weakness

In my last post, Right blogosphere vs Left blogosphere, I noted how Chris Bowers felt that the community based blogging of the left was helping that side of the blogosphere surpass the conservative/libertarian side. His point being that by providing comments and diaries, at the larger lefty blogs, the barriers for new talent were far lower than for those on the other side of the political aisle.

But then, something like this gets posted at one the largest lefty sites, Daily Kos, and you have comments supporting it:

The torture that was so bad under Saddam, is equally bad under U.S. command. And Dick Durbin had the balls to say it so on the Senate floor.

Before that little jewel of stupidity, Markos Moulitsas had this to say about Americans who were burned, had their bodies torn apart and then were hung from a bridge in Fallujah:

Let the people see what war is like. This isn't an Xbox game. There are real repercussions to Bush's folly.

That said, I feel nothing over the death of merceneries. 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.

Perhaps, the increast in traffic to lefty websites will actually be their undoing, when it comes to elections. Of course, if that happens, they will predictably screech that it's a Karl Rove, Fox News, Rush Limbaugh etc. conspiracy. Should be fun to watch.
