You, on the other hand, love socialism and the thought of “one-world” enough to allow Islamofascists an unfettered ability to attack us — just so we make sure not to offend them.

Now, I ask you: was I dead-on or what?

A similar comment popped up on Daily Kos this morning and to the site's credit the post received enough 'zero ratings' to disappear the comment into oblivion. Of course a system such as that has it's own problems but it puts the jackasses on notice. If you doubt it, read the comments, which include gems such as, “Cheney is worse than Bin Laden”.

It wasn't satire intended to be humours (it wasn't); it was satire delivered with a mean-spirited and mocking intent. If you doubt it, read the comments, which include gems such as, "Cheney is worse than Bin Laden". <em>Really</em>? Worse than Bin Laden? Cheney accidently shot a friend while on a hunting trip. Bin Laden planned the intentional death of over 3000 American citizens by flying airplanes into our buildings. My <em>satire meter</em> might have been off that morning --- but the guys and gals over there ought to have their <em>moral equivalncy</em> meters checked out. yeah, Preston, but after reading the comments section at one of the blogs that I didn’t catch the satire on, I realize that it was tounge-in-cheek satire at best.

Yet you’re afraid each thing I do is just some evil scheme
A memory from your lonesome past keeps us so far apart
Why can’t I free your doubtful mind
And melt your cold, cold heart
