The Selective Outrage of the Left

** The racist, marxist government of Robert Mugabe continues to terrorize it's citizenry. Is the UN the most useless organization in the history of the world or what? Where's the US Left? Silent. He may be a jerk, but he's their jerk.

"Security forces and militia groups loyal to the 84-year-old autocrat have rampaged across the countryside for the past month, targeting opposition activists and whole villages suspected of having voted against the government in the March 29 elections. In some areas, torture camps have been established where victims are taken and beaten while their homes are looted and burned."

**The left is normally hostile towards religion in general and christianity in particular. In the case of the racist, marxist Rev. Wright and the Black Liberation Theology of the Obamas' church, they're twisting themselves in knots trying to rationalize the hate away.

"Yet the left, with its healthy skepticism toward religion, has shown itself to be cynically flexible over the past few weeks in response to the utter insanities emitted from the big mouth of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Sen. Barack Obama’s pastor, mentor and friend of 20 years. Suddenly, some liberals have discovered a newfound love for extremists who hide behind the cloth to justify their radical views."

Actually it's not a "newfound love". They've been excusing and justifying the brutality and insanity of the Islamo-fascists for years.

** The Obama camp and its apologists are trying to distance the candidate from marxist William Ayers while portraying him as part of the Chicago "mainstream". I'd love to see what passes for radical in that town. What would be the response if a McCain supporter were shown stomping on a Mexican flag?

"That distance might be hard to maintain. First, the profile in the magazine wasn’t exactly a low-profile article in an obscure publication. Ayers had just published a memoir of his days as a fugitive for domestic terrorism in the Weather Underground, and both the book and the publicity gained national attention, especially after 9/11. Obama continued to work with Ayers after this, appearing on public panels with Ayers into 2002."
