Atrios on Fire Lately
Atrios has been on fire lately. Reverse chronologically (and my paraphrases):
Yes, they really were incompetent and corrupt re: the Iraq war and that was predictableOn Bush's incoherent anti-free speech mumblingsThere's a difference between the Swift Boat Liars for Bush and MoveOnAnd best of all:
Yes, we're justifiably angry at the liberal war supportersAs for being angry? Well, yes, I'm angry. No matter what war one imagined was going to be fought, whether it was "Ogged's war" or "Tom's war" or "Jack's war," this was the Bush administration's war. They cynically used it it as a political ploy for election 2002. They went after everyone who opposed it. They still sell "Freedom Fries" in the House cafeteria. Their lies for justifying the war were dissolving in realtime, even as they came up with more. Yes, I am angry that otherwise intelligent people climbed aboard this twisted and nakedly cynical endeavor which was clearly a fraud from start to finish. But, no, I don't question the motives of all who did - just the ones who believe that by being wrong they were proven right.
