Democrats Welcome Cheerleader for Terrorists
Thursday, June 24, 2004
Left-wing Democrats pout and complain when Americans call them the blame-America-first crowd, but here's an excellent example of how they have earned this reputation.
Out in La-La Land, El Cerrito Democratic Club announced that for its meeting this week it would "again welcome Markos Moulitsas Zuniga," this time to speak on "The Future of the Democratic Party: Does It Even Have One?"
If you're lucky you've never heard of Zuniga. Remember the four American contractors murdered and dismembered by Muslim terrorists and left hanging from a bridge in Fallujah? He's the Democrat activist who cheered them on.
"I feel nothing over the death of mercenaries," he wrote. "Screw them."
American Journalism Review reported in its latest issue: "Moulitsas later clarified his remarks but stopped short of an apology, and a cyberspace furor ensued. 'Kos has been rather a weasel about first making the comments, then hiding them, then issuing a bogus pseudo-apology, and now--as if there were more to this than dumb statements on a blog that led to some angry commentary and e-mail--he's playing the victim,' [Glenn H.] Reynolds declared on InstaPundit."
By the way, Zuniga, who apparently prefers to be called Moulitsas, was a paid consultant to this year's sore loserman, Howard Dean, and still is employed by Democrat congressional campaigns and pressure groups he refuses to name, according to AJR. John Kerry, however, yanked Zuniga's link.
