More evidence of derangement on the Democratic Fringe!
2003-12-16
From a poster at the Democratic Underground forum - posting now deleted but it has been saved at Andrew Sullivan’s site:
"There really do seem to be a lot of us here who are genuinely happy that Saddam is captured. This suprises me. I’m not happy they captured him.

That’s not to say that I’m sad. I just think today’s news doesn’t stir any emotion in me at all. Saddam was never a threat to me. He never did anything to me personally. I doubt he ever did anything to you.

In fact, Saddam, over the course of his life and rule of Iraq, probably did more to help America than any other world leader. ..."

Chalk this up to snobbery:

"It's not like Saddam lives next door. He's Arab. Or African. I forget. Remind me ask our gardener where Iraq is. Oh, that's right - Jose's Mexican. Or Guatamalan. Whatever's next to Cancun.

"So Saddam killed some people. Nobody I know. Besides, isn't that what those people do in those dreadful countries anyway, dearie? And while you're up, would you get me another soy latte? There's a New York Times article on Howie I'm just simply engrossed with!"

#3  "Never did anything to him personally?"
How about someone he knows or loves that was slaughtered in the 9/11 attacks, in the first WTC bombing in 1993, in either Gulf War, in Kuwait, in Israel, or very possibly in the OKC bombing or the post 9/11 anthrax attacks?
Because Saddam was a player in all of those terror murders.
And you know, the US heartily participated militarily in WWI and WWII even though when we went in neither Adolph Hitler nor Kaiser Wilhem had never done much to us personally either.

He doubts it? Hey Jude, don't be so sad.
