Nice to be heard over the din of the lies

Many thanks to John Amato of Crooks and Liars for the shout-out on my comment this morning to the lies posted by ‘Midwest Jim’ at Gateway Pundit.

John has his post categorized exactly right: “Wingnuts, Right Wing Stupidity, Liars”. It is not possible to give a more succinct, or more perfect, characterization of ‘Midwest Jim’ and the other deliberately mendacious imbeciles who claim — absent the slightest evidence — that the left is “mourning” Saddam’s passing.

    Who cares what the righwingers say. The left has to stop being intimidated by their taunts and speak the truth with courage and without all these silly caveats.

    Hatred and denunciation of Saddam is their only and last validation for the war. Every time the left allows itself to be pressued into denouncing Saddam or prefacing their anti-war statements with caveats against, they not only validate the premise upon which this war is based, they show their willingness to submit to bullying. Call the bully’s bluff. If you’re anti-war stop being manipulated by their rhetorical tricks.

    “Call the bully’s bluff.”

    Which is exactly what I did when I pointed out the lies that ‘Midwest Jim’ posted. Perhaps you hadn’t noticed.
