Here is someone saying the same thing but a little more articulate,

"I ... completely underestimated the capacity of America's erstwhile "peace community" for turning on a dime and embracing the kind of all-American xenophobic flag-waving bloodlust they only recently decried. So today I stand proudly with my new friends of the formerly antiwar left in a mindlessly jingoistic salute to President Obama for an extralegal military assassination well done."

Dakota, i'm okay with highlighting individuals who exhibit inconsistent behavior, but painting with as broad a brush as this stings. There are lots of members of the "peace community" - the real peace community, who oppose war in all its forms - who are not cheering or saluting President Obama for assassinating Osama bin Laden. I appreciate that you have found some hypocrisy among liberals since OBL was killed, but i'm going to push back a little here, respectfully. There are many people committed to peace who are not hypocrites, and there are many liberals who are not now jingoistic or xenophobic. I count myself among that group, and i've made real efforts here to talk about it. When you post something as harsh as this, it seems like i've suddenly become invisible, or possibly insulted.

Sorry if i'm taking this the wrong way - participating in these threads has been important to me, and until now i haven't felt disrespected by you. Perhaps i've got it wrong.
You've taken him no more wrong than a number of other posters who actually believed there was a possibility for dialog with this poster. While he may seem a bit back on his heels over the latest OBL developments and offering a peace stick, it's a lie.

He has no interest in dialog, only diatribe. Ask any of the other intelligent "lefties" who tried that tack only to be subject to personal attack once they put the creep* in a factual corner from which he couldn't logically escape.

Were it not for this constant quoting of and rebuttal to his mostly inane arguments, I'd have gladly forgotten he even exists.

* used here in it's most pejorative context.
