The Left Reacts: 7/7 London Terrorist Bombings

Posted by Eric at 5:36 pm. Filed under: General

Democracy Guy has an interesting perspective on the left wing reactionaries at KOS. In short, he is glad they weren’t around on 9/11.

As a Democrat, I’m very happy that the lefty blogosphere wasn’t around much on September 11. Because if they were, and they uncorked the response they are uncorking to the London bombings, Democrats might never be electable again in my lifetime.

The Bellman somewhat agrees, but excoriates Powerline for reacting to (predicting?) the left’s reaction rather than focusing on the tragedy at hand.

Dean’s World also points out the Daily Kos’ hateful rhetoric.

And Tim Worstall has quite a collection of links regarding the London Terrorist bombings.

UPDATE: Here’s another amazing one.

Is this a Rovian / Negroponte tactic to take the heat of the Downing Street Memos and the outing of Valerie Plame?

Our hearts go out to the innocents in Afghanistan, Iraq and England - but hold the correct people to blame - Bush and Blair, to account for this - NO ONE ELSE!!

Ah, freedom of speech. Also, in response to the comment by the Bellman, the point is taken, though I am not thoroughly convinced that we will not see similar nutty reactions [just withheld for a few days or weeks] from those who [at least claim to] represent the left side of the political spectrum. It seems almost inevitable that Howard Dean will voice these “Bush and Blair are to blame” sentiments sometime soon.

But I will grant you that there are many (and apparently you are one) who are more liberal in their thinking who do not share the hateful nutty views of so many of the DailyKos and DU posters. You may be wrong about lots of things :-), but at least you are rational, reasoned and respectful.

  1. Greetings. In the paragraph in which you refer to my post, you also refer to the “left’s reaction.” As a fully bonded member of the left, I would like to re-iterate my point. Even if *some* bloggers, or posters on blogs, can be found to say stupid or hateful things, this does not , and should not, reflect on an entire political wing (or political party, as power line would have it). When folks on your side of the spectrum say stupid things (”Homosexuals are to blame for 9/11″ for example), reasonable people do not hold that against you.

  2. Round the Reader - London Edition…

    Sad Thursday…
    My reader has been, as it should be, full of coverage of the London Terror attacks. The best round-ups I’ve see are at Backcountry Conservative, In the Bullpen and at InstaPundit. Just scroll.
