Left Chagrined That Suicide Bomber Didn't Kill Cheney; Gleen Grenwald Very Angry That Right Takes Notice Of Leftwing Assassination Fantasies

"Better luck next time!"

"If at first you don't succeed...!"

“What a different world we would be living in today if they had succeeded.”

LGF also notes that lefty bloggers get the vapors when right-wing bloggers suggest that perhaps enemies of America, like Iranian mullahs and nuke scientists, ought to be assassinated. But when it comes to assassinating American leaders, suddenly these leftwing bloggers engage in nothing but apologism for their fellow travellers who jerk off over thoughts of dead presidents and vice presidents.

Gleen, of course, claims this "proves nothing." Nothing. The Huffington Post actually had to close down threads to prevent the tidal wave of pro-assassination comments, but it proves "nothing." Nothing at all about the left.

And certainly nothing at all about leftwing bloggers, which, Glenn Greenwald insists, are not responsible for their commenters.

Allah notes the sweet irony -- Gleen, who has a rich history of actually being a psuedonymous commenter on blogs, is claiming that comments have nothing at all to do with bloggers.

Rick Ellensberg, Thomas Ellers, Wilson, and Ellison might want to have a talk with him about that.

Incidentally, Gleen also dismisses the right's mention of racist, hate-filled emails from unhinged lefties as evidence that there's a lot of racism and hate on the left. He links Michelle Malkin dismissively as an example of this. (I didn't even bother clicking on his link; I know who he's talking about. She's all they ever talk about.)

Those emails also don't mean anything, he says.

And yet I seem to remember the entire left of the blogosphere being pretty upset by the "hate-filled" emails sent to Marcotte and MacEwan.

Those emails, of course, very definitely proved something.

Michelle Malkin's? Not so much.

Allah has a good digest of the attack. And wonders how the Taliban knew Cheney was in Baghram, when in fact he was scheduled to be there yesterday, and was delayed by bad weather.
