“The GOP has taken refuge in cruelty as politics. I’ve wondered for a while why so many conservatives have made a sport of being cruel to Cindy Sheehan. As if losing her son wasn’t enough cruelty.
“You now have the sad Chris ‘Kim Philby’ Hitchens, calling Sheehan a vile anti-semite based on a letter she didn’t write and ABC can’t find.
“If someone asks in future years, when the Conservative movement started to die, well, this would be the moment. When politics trumped human decency.” – Steve Gilliard, via Salon‘s Daou Report
