Excellent hitchens column - he nails it.
It is simply absurd to think that bad news means kerry is more fit for office. that doesnt compute and it shows the flaw in their whole anti-Bush campaign.
A little light comes on...

"John Kerry's campaign is a distraction from the fight against al-Qaida."
Exactly right!
I saw a Kerry ad that trumpeted the fact that two Americans were recently beheaded in Iraq.
The Kerry campaign is publicizing the work of the terrorists in order to get elected. It is as if they and the terrorists are working in a common cause.
It's a good thing for liberals that words aren't knives; after this article, they'd all be dead.
"How can the Democrats possibly have gotten themselves into a position where they even suspect that a victory for the Zarqawi or Bin Laden forces would in some way be welcome to them? Or that the capture or killing of Bin Laden would not be something to celebrate with a whole heart?"
"....John Kerry's campaign is a distraction from the fight against al-Qaida."
That says it.
This title is too long...This is better:
Flirting With Disaster, The vile spectacle of Democrats
Christopher Hitchens may be the most "honest" writer out there. He has taken stances on certain issues that have offended me deeply... but his arguments are always well researched and artfully worded. I love watching a talking-head show when some (usually liberal) airhead is pitted against Hitchens. These folks typically are scared to death of him and it shows. I have no doubt that guys like Begala, Carville, et al avoid a head-to-head with Hitchens at all costs. (I could be wrong on that, but just a hunch.)
A 2x4 upside the head?
I doubt it would work, but it couldn't hurt to try.
Because the Chomsky/Moore wing of the democrat party would, in fact, welcome it.
At first this need for "bad news" seemed subtle. But with Kerry's latest attacks on Iraq and the terms "chaos" being thrown around on a daily basis, it has become transparent that the dems need bad news in order to win the election.
Hit that right on the head...excellent
Treasonous, treacherous, little hate-filled rats. That is what most of the democratic party has become. How can people act this way in our great country?
Exactly - and in a previous day when the news from the front was not as available as today - it may have succeeded. But alas, everyday soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines are able to blog and tell all the good things that they are witnessing while stating matter-of-factly the bad as well.
The problem for Kerry campout is that the good is actually outweighing the bad significantly in these accounts.
I'm convinced that had today's means of communications been available during the Vietnam war that things would have been much different.
A 2x4 upside the head?
Kinda like a dumbo-crat Board of Education, huh?
