A window into the left's wayward soul
LA Times columnist Joel Stein admitted today that he doesn't support the troops. Wonder how many more lefties will have the nerve to follow him down that toilet? "Philipe" at an LAT message board, already did so anonymously: "FINALLY!!! Some one is willing to stand up and call it like it is. Too bad the rest of the country is not ready for the truth!" (looking through the rest of the comments on that board I can't help but wonder whether Stein actually isn't an outlier at all - maybe he's within the loony left mainstream).
God love the blogosphere - I don't imagine the NY Times will be acknowledging this story anytime soon, much less doing so objectively. In response, Michelle Malkin offers "25 Ways to Ignore Joel Stein and Support our Troops." And the JAWA Report details Hugh Hewitt's decimation of Stein in an interview today. And the American Thinker gives us LTC Steve Russell, who sees the issue in the simplest terms of right and wrong:
...what separates him from me is certainly not education. Nor is it conviction of purpose. It is indeed morality. But of a nobler kind. No greater love has a man, than he lay down his life for his friends-even when they act and write unfriendly.
As an American, I no longer draw a distinction of who qualifies to be one or is best suited to appreciate democracy. After serving nine years overseas and on multiple continents, I do not see white or black or Hispanic or Indian or oriental or educated or simple-minded Americans. I only see Americans. Even the unfriendly kind. And when I am old, I will be able to look in the mirror and know that I acted on my convictions to preserve what others will not. Cannot. Do not. And what I will see is a man with a clear conscience and a moral sense of purpose.
I am thankful I do not have to look into Mr. Stein's mirror.
For his part, though, Stein stands by his wingnuttery. He also joins Reuters sing-song that the outrage is just a product of "conservative sites across the Internet." Reuters added, "The columnist said he suspected the reaction was largely fueled by the Web sites, adding: "My guess is that it will die down pretty quickly."
Oh, Joel.
