Porn Star Nina Hartley's Site Hacked by "Jihadist Cyber-Warriors"

Mild Content Warning on this link, which goes to the porn site nina.com. The front page is just links plus a lengthy explanation of why the site went down and a rant against fundamentalists (and yes, of course they're considerate enough to include many of you in that rant), but it's still a porn site, so have caution.

As usual, those on the left -- here, the sexual left -- can only spend a bit of time criticizing jihadists before rushing headlong to criticize those they really hate, "right wing Christian fundamentalists." It really makes no goddamn sense. You've just been unlawfully harassed and cyber-attacked by Turkish jihadists, so of course you want to direct as much of your fire as possible towards people who didn't do anything to you, besides criticize you, which is also their right as Americans.

I find the left to be wearying and childish on this point. Their efforts to be even-handed against "all extremists" is not even-handed at all. They wind up classing those who haven't done anything particular untoward with those who are actually illegally attacking them... which merely spares the culpable parties their proper measure of blame by dividing the load among the blameless.

We on the right are pretty clear on the point that while the political left has many sins to account for, actually sawing off the heads of innocent civilians is not among them.

Why is it the supposed "reality based community" has such difficulties making such not-terribly-fine distinctions?

Thanks to someone.
