Markos say what?
"Fact is, progressives hate the Taliban and other Islamic fundamentalists precisely for the same reason we hate rabid conservatives at home …"
This curious line is from
American Taliban by Daily Kos founder Markos Moulitsas (page x of the Introduction). This may be the first sign that a leftist has come out and damned “Islamic fundamentalists.” Michael Moore use to call them “freedom fighters” in Iraq.
For close to a decade I’ve been reading National Review Online and they have condemned the anti-women anti-gay ethos of Islamic societies. They continually chide leftists for failing to condemn these Islamic practices.
Where is the evidence that “progressives hate … Islamic fundamentalists?”Ask Phyllis Chester, who has tried to get the left interested in the plight of women living under Islamic oppression. Ask Ayaan Hirsi Ali, who has exposed the suffering of women like herself in Islamic lands. Ask Bruce Bawer about anti-gay hatred among Europe’s Muslims. Ask David Horowitz who has continually called on the left to condemn the misogynist Islamic cultures. Ask Pamela Geller who continues to highlight victims of
honor killings here in America.
The left was AWOL.
Sorry, Markos, we ain’t buying it. But if you are going to start vilifying “Islamic fundamentalists” do it ... don't posture.

Double Standards
Funny, I don't remember any mass protests of "hundreds of thousands" of people against Hamas and Hezbollah firing rockets indiscriminately at civilian targets in Israel. The phrase "anti-semitism" springs to mind. The great Red-Blue gulf in America...
