Even The Chicago Trib Thinks the Left has "Left The Building"

This newspaper is far from a conservative publication as many know, but earlier in the week they surprisingly published a commentary by historian Victor Davis Hanson summarizing the increasingly obnoxious and borderline dangerous behavior of the radical left which I found amusing and yet scary in a way.

Scary in that many people out there are so asleep at the wheel that they are just beginning to realize the left has gone looney, yet most in the right side of the blogosphere have been harping on this phenomenon day in and day out ever since George Bush was elected in 2000. It's so loud and frequent how could one miss it?

Hopefully these regular non-political junkie types out there will get a few more of these MSM stories in the next two weeks (fat chance of that I'm afraid) preventing those folks from gaining any significant power on the 7th due to their irrational judgement that is now permanantly on display for all to see.

Liberals gone absolutely wild! | Chicago Tribune: "Why do Republicans drive leftists so crazy these days? Liberal Democrats are beginning to sound like rowdy students on spring break, shrieking and exhibiting themselves on camera.

BEGINNING TO SOUND ? That's a bit charitable don't you think?

Consider some of the recent rabid outbursts by once sober old-guard politicians. West Virginia Sen. Jay Rockefeller insists that the world would be better off if Saddam Hussein were still running Iraq. Crotchety Congressman John Murtha of Pennsylvania rushed to announce that our Marines were guilty of killing Iraqis in 'cold blood' before they were tried. Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin has compared our interrogators at Guantanamo Bay to Nazis, while Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry said our soldiers have 'terrorized' Iraqi women and children.

Then there is the constant anger from Democratic ex-presidents. It used to be that out-of-office chief executives kept relatively hush. Presidents Ford and the elder Bush--both voted out of office--did not bray when President Clinton had his trials, personal and otherwise."

Not so now with Presidents Carter and Clinton. They repeatedly harp on the sins of the current administration. By now, everyone has seen clips of Clinton losing his temper (complete with finger-wagging) and lashing out at the "right-wingers" on TV. He lectures on political extremism, even as one of his wife's staff members slandered Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) by saying he broke under torture while a prisoner of war in Hanoi. And even at 82, Jimmy Carter almost daily carps over Bush's foreign policy.

Do not forget the unhinged billionaire leftist philanthropists. read more
