I’m really tired right now and I hate people. Everyone who comes through my field of vision just pisses the hell out of me right now. Ever have that feeling?

For all of those who believe Cindy Sheehan is exploiting her dead son, an image:

If you push a guy into a shark tank and the sharks eat him, who is more responsible for his death – you, or the sharks?

(sort of my riff on this)

Mrs. du Toit: “a brood mare”
Dean Esmay: (wait for it) “fascist propagandist”
RedState.org: “left wing media whore”

When these vile fuckers get going, there’s nothing they won’t say. There’s no one they won’t savage in their psychotic need to support this war and the President who got us there. They are a sick, sad bunch, and if I thought they could feel anything, I would pity them.

Dean Esmay, everyone’s favorite insane rageaholic contrarian, has now decided that he hates the interstate highway system.

You can’t make this stuff up, people.

Stay at Dean’s a while, and he’ll also tell you about how HIV doesn’t cause AIDS. And how women beat men as much as men beat women. And how Michael Moore is a fascist. And how he knows that Michael Schiavo murdered his wife on the night she collapsed.

I look forward to the day that he declares fluoridation is an attempt to steal our precious bodily fluids.

Hey Michelle Malkin, Bill O’Reilly, et. al.:

Please keep up your attacks on Cindy Sheehan. Savage her. Pull out all the stops. Burn her in effigy, if possible. Make Photoshopped posters with her wearing an Osama beard. (E-mail me, I’ve got a ton of other suggestions.)

Because the more you attack a mother who lost her son in the War on Iraq, the more you expose yourself as the hateful, anti-American bitches that you are. And even more importantly, as the Rude Pundit noted, the more you attack her, the more powerful she becomes as a symbol of this monstrous failed experiment.

With love and hugs,
Thomas More.

From a random Little Green Footballs commenter, about the outrage over the “We Love 9/11!” rally planned by the Department of Defense for this Sept. 11:

“Why can’t we celebrate anything good that has ever happened?”

Not. Making. This. Up.

There are some things that are just too terrible to contemplate. We don’t want to think that our fellow citizens could be capable of the things they are so clearly capable of. We don’t want to know that our neighbor could beat his wife, or that our parish priest molested a child.

But these things happen. And we need to face up to them.

Until recently, I’ve been unwilling to acknowledge the love that right-wingers have for 9/11. It’s an almost fetishistic obsession that allows them to indulge in all their worst impulses:

• foreigners are evil, especially if they don’t look like me;
• everyone is against me;
• no one understands me;
• violence solves most problems;
• all my detractors are liars and traitors;
• my country is the only power that matters; and
• I am the most powerful person in the world, and no one can tell me what to do.

They cling to the tragedy of 9/11 like Linus with his blanket. And no wonder – no question can’t be answered with “9/11 changed everything.”

As I said, I don’t like facing up to this. It’s not fun. But then the horrifying Mrs. du Toit steps in and reminds me. (She said she was going to stop writing her weblog; tragically, she went back on that promise.)

Face it: the right loves 9/11. It validates them. It warms them. It shields them.

And that’s the truth.

UPDATE: The Department of Defense (headed up by Donald “the weapons are in the area around Tikrit, and north, south, east and west somewhat” Rumsfeld) has announced plans to stage a massive rally, parade and (I’m not making this up) country music concert to “celebrate” 9/11 this year. This would be funny if it wasn’t so sick and wrong. AMERICA! FUCK YEAH!

UPDATE II: Clint Black, who will be headlining the “A! FY!” Concert on 9/11 this year (sponsored, as I’ve said, by the DoD), will no doubt be performing his song “I Raq and Roll” (again, I’m not making this up), which includes lines like:

If they won’t show us their weapons
We might have to show them ours

and

It might be a smart bomb – they find stupid people too
If you stand with the likes of Saddam
One just might find you

Toby Keith, call your office.

Some excerpts from Little Green Footballs’ “discussion” of the death of anchorman Peter Jennings:

“These guys are no more deserving of condolances than a suicide bomber. The media is the enemy. This is something to jubilate.”

“The victims of evil are insulted again and again when we fail to vilify what ought be vilified.”

“Do you pine over Goebbals? … Do you feel pity when a bug that stings you gets squished? You feel pity for Peter Jennings. Shame on you.”

“It’s been a good week so far for ending the careers of Jew-hating journalists.”

“Hell has another occupant.”

“A dead arrogant antsemitic Canadian born WASP prick with shit for brains!”

“Being an atheist I don’t believe in the place but were I a god-monger I’d wish him to rot in hell.”

BONUS: Karen of “The View From My Chair” is upset that news of Jennings’ passing interrupted the climactic moments of her “Law and Order” rerun. Words fail me.

Great stuff as usual from Tom Burka at “Opinions You Should Have.”
