Another One Sees The Light
Seth Swirsky at the Huffington Post is the latest Leftie to see the light (via AJStrata). Even though he voted for Al Gore in 2000, he watched in dismay his party determinedly self-destructed as the 2004 election cycle ground on:
The Left got nuttier, more extreme, less contributory to the public debate, more obsessed with their nemesis Bush -- and it drove me further away. What Democrat could support Al Gore's '04 choice for President, Howard Dean, when Dean didn't dismiss the suggestion that George W. Bush had something to do with the 9/11 attacks? Or when the second most powerful Senate Democrat, Dick Durbin, thought our behavior at the detention center in Guantanamo was equivalent to Bergen Belsen and the Soviet gulags? Or when Senator Kennedy equated the unfortunate but small incident at Abu Ghraib with Saddam's 40-year record of mass murder, rape rooms, and mass graves saying, "Saddam's torture chambers have reopened under new management, U.S. management"? What Democrat could not applaud the fact that President had, in fact, kept us safe for what's going on 5 years? What Democrat -- even those who opposed the decision to go into Iraq -- wouldn't applaud the fact that tens of millions of previously brutalized people had the hope of freedom before them?
I wonder how many more thoughtful Democrats like Seth Swirsky left their party over the weekend, when Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid addressed the Daily Kos clan?
