"WHY ARE CONSERVATIVES SO AFRAID?"

The author should be advised that big cities are the main terrorist targets ... and are overwhelmingly Blue Nation. If a bomb wiped out a few million citygoers, it would only help Republicans in future elections... nevertheless
Republicans want to prevent another attack. Why oh why could that possibly be?

[jonascord]

He is quite right. We Conservatives have been very unwilling to do what needs to be done. I suppose we are just too wimpy to confront the Final Solution to the Liberal Problem...

[Citizen Tom Paine]

While at a deer camp, I got into a heated argument with a vocal liberal, who had been drinking heavily. When discussing national security, his point was that a terrorists attack would never defeat the US. He believed that even a nuclear attack on a large US city would just be a blip. The US would keep rolling on. In thinking about such an attack, I believe that he might be right.

Civil rights comment. I am not worried with Bush in office. I would be scared to death with a Clinton type in office. A corrupt individual with unlimited power could possibly bring the US to her knees.

[Bahbah]

I'm not afraid, Gus, I'm angry!

[NeilGus]

Please, please Democrats run on this as a platform.

If only they would run on this, 2006 could be a great year.

[Unrepentant VN Vet]

Dear Kos,

Read your article.

You may have a point, and it's time that we ALL back up our words with action.

Bring your DD214, and you and I can go down and reinlist together.

[goresalooza]

I see the rats continuing to full implosion. Their attack machine is alive and very sickly. This Moulitsas dude is clearly insane.

[kellynla]

"afraid?"
conservatives "afraid?"
I don't need to read any further! LOL

there are tens of thousands of "conservatives" facing and fighting terrorism evvvvvvvvery day in Iraq & Afghanistan and none of them are hiding behind a computer screen pontificating...and I won't even get into the millions of "conservatives" who served their country proudly and honorably over the decades...and that's a hell of a lot more than the limp wristed draft dodgers & antiwar 'Rat liberals can say! Let me know when this clown, Markos wants to go down to the Marine Corps recruiter and enlist...I'll be glad to drive him; until then; we don't need any more articles from him about who is "afraid." I'll tell you who was "afraid"...their leader, the draft dodging Clinton was AFRAID! He was so afraid; he dodged the draft THREE FRIGGIN' TIMES...that's who was "afraid!"

[shekkian]

And Sam Alito is on his way to confirmation for the Supreme Court.

[Trampled by Lambs]

"It's bad enough that they wouldn't deign to join the boots in the ground in Iraq."

I get this often. If I bother to respond at all it is to tell them that AFAIK, they just don't accept 47 year old cancer patients for active duty.

"the enormously influential left-wing blogger Markos Moulitsa"

Who? I've never heard of this guy.

[Fresh Wind]

Yeah, we should go back to the glorious days of the Klinton Administration, in which Alpha Male Klinton watched a series of terrorist attacks and did nothing, other than enjoy Monica's attentions. He proved what a tough guy he was over and over and over. On the other hand, draft dodger Hitler-wannabe Chimpy Bushit proved what a worthless coward he is by actually trying to stop any future attacks. How dare he!

[Rightwing Conspiratr1]

I'm so confused. I thought George Bush was an out of control blood thirsty dumb as a rock cowboy war monger. Clearly I need my memes refreshed.

[oldleft]

This is who he's influential among...

[vimto]

Say what? You never heard of Markos Moulitsa?

It's Bravarian for Micky Mouse.

warmest regards!

[demkicker]

My message to Byron York: Here's your....

[Dr.Zoidberg]

There was a time reading things like this would actually anger me. Lately I've found myself laughing at these silly little libs.

To call conservatives cowards is the most direct and unquestionable form of projection I've seen in years. With the John Kerry, firewall the boat throttle and dump my own men in the water - Jack Murtha, the surrender is always an option for this Exmarine - Ted Kennedy, the if I swim fast enough, the dead woman in my car might not be a threat to my political career types as the left wings template of manhood.

I'm sure every last single conservative is stinging with the rebuke from this towering example of heroism in pink panties and designer pumps. I don't know how Conservatives are going to look themselves in the face now that a member of the loonie limp wristed left wing lemmings has so soundly slapped them with his perfumed lacey gauntlet.

This steaming piece of Moulitsas might want to show his own bravery by putting down the koolaid stained keyboard and taking up a rifle as he joins our beloved armed forces in the fight against terror out in the world. No, on second thought, our warriors have enough danger facing them without slipping an addled adder into their ranks.

[Tenacious 1]

Let me get this straight...."We are not weak on defense! You are weak on defense because you are a scardy cat!!!"

Wow.

[popdonnelly]

Of course! If we were really courageous, like Code Pink, George Soros, and Kos, we would view the prospect of innocent people being murdered for the benefit of Islamic fascists/totalitarians as nothing to worry about!

Dear Kos: You're a damned idiot.
