Luke Francl of the New Patriot writes:

Johnathan Miller reports that John Hinderaker said that it was "pretty clear" that "the Left has lined up behind the terrorists."

Miller went on to say:

I agree. I also agree that the Right has lined up behind the Nazi pedophile crackheads, but what are you gonna do?

The first thing you "gonna" do is show us any quotes of Republicans actually taking stances in support of Nazi pedophile crackheads.

I'm the last person who is going to say that any individual lefty supports the terrorists as such.

But read these quotes:

• We don’t know whether in the long run the Iraqi people are better off, and the most important thing is we don’t know whether we’re better off." - Howard Dean
• This country of ours has committed the most serious act of aggression in its history - Ramsey Clark
  
• "Bin Laden didn't come from the abstract. He came from somewhere, and if you look where ... you'll see America's hand of villainy." - Harry Belafonte
  
• The war in Iraq has become a war against the American occupation...The U.S. military presence has become part of the problem, not part of the solution...... The nations in the Middle East are independent, except for Iraq, which began the 20th century under Ottoman occupation and is now beginning the 21st century under American occupation. - Ted Kennedy
  
• I believe that if we, ah, remove our military presence, and are there as members of a multinational, um, peacekeeping organization, then the other countries will come forward. - Lynn Woolsey
  
• You're increasing the number of forces, the number of tanks over there. How can this have anything to do but to escalate the level of violence, the opposition of Iraqis, intensify the hatred across the Arab world to the United States, and more atrocities? How can this have any result other than to put us deeper into this situation and make the conditions there worse for our forces and for our nation and for the world? - "Senator" Mark Dayton
• The Iraqis who have risen up against the occupation are not "insurgents" or "terrorists" or "The Enemy." They are the REVOLUTION, the Minutemen, and their numbers will grow -- and they will win. - Michael Moore
• "It is hard to say that something is legitimate when whole portions of the country can't vote and doesn't vote" - John Kerry

I could go on - and in fact, I have been going on on this blog for years, now.

But that's not the point.

Read the above, and the myriad quotes just like them. Consider the clout that the likes of Moore and Kerry and Kennedy have within the Democratic party and on the left in general. Then put yourself in the position of a terrorist: does this tend to make you think that you're going to be getting a shot at reinstating your power in Iraq, sooner or later? Put yourself in the position of an Iraqi voter - knowing that one of the most dangerous things in the world to be for the past century is a moderate Arab - and ask yourself what that says about America's commitment to keeping the thugs out of office?

With the sort of exquisite rhetorical flourish that seems to be a hallmark of leftyblogs, Francl finishes:

I don't think it's out of line to say: F**k you, as***le.

To be fair, Luke, Ted Kennedy and Michael Moore and Lynn Woolsey and Jerry Nadler and a legion of other dim, pathetic, fascism-coddling bulbs pretty well f***ed you.
