Hmm, do we have any evidence of the left defending this?
Of course not, silly.
We're anticipating the left's reaction based on their history of making excuses for the Palistinians. One of the nice things about being on a conservative forum is that not every unflattering statement about the Left needs to be footnoted with a factual citation. We're on friendly turf, so we can make extrapolations.
But why so nitpicky? Does it bug you when we comment on the left in unflattering ways?
