Is The Left Ever Going To Get Serious?
After taking a pounding in 3 election cycles since 2000 on their national security credentials you would think the message was clear to the left – straighten up or wilt politically. But no, they seem bent on political suicide. While people die in rampant bombings in London the MSM and leftward fringes are fixated on Rove and something that happened 3 years ago – something that clearly had no REAL impact on national security (you’d think after all this time gone by they would realize hypothetical arguments wouldn’t wash anymore).
And now this lunacy. Is this how the left wants to portray their answer to terrorism??
TUCSON, Arizona (AP) — A group of anti-war senior citizens calling themselves the “Tucson Raging Grannies” say they want to enlist in the U.S. Army and go to Iraq so that their children and grandchildren can come home.
Five members of the group — which is associated with the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom — are due in court Monday to face trespassing charges after trying to enlist at a military recruitment center last week.
They sound more like Raging Idiots to me.
AJ: Check out Jonathan Chait in the LATimes for another stunning example of this–we posted on it today because even though it has nothing to do with academics it’s a dazzling display of bizarre behavior.
