MrB, I have noticed the same thing about the left wing types. They seem to instinctively side with evil. They report so favorably toward the PLO type terrorists and ignore the Tibetans who are among the kindest peoples I have ever met.
Here’s a speach at Heritage explaining why
“The Modern Liberal will invariably side with evil over good, wrong over right, and the behaviors that lead to failure over those that lead to success.”
