In a flurry of blogging today, I linked to comments made by the blogger Kos (via Roger Simon and Instapundit). My commentary was meant to be critical, but it was also rather flippant. I guess this is because so many outrageous statements have been made by Fifth Columnists at forums like the DU that I've become desensitized and I wasn't fully absorbing the depravity of his comments.

Anyway, upon returning to these links, and seeing Kos's updated post that offers further rationalization for the wretched comments he made about the deaths in Fallujah, I realize that it deserved a closer, more outraged treatment. Read this rationalized, self-serving post, and read the back-slapping comments that follow it. It literally makes me ill.

I don't have much to say. This is not nearly representative of all leftists in this country, but it is representative of enough of them to polarize me towards the right. I disagree with many on the right about various social issues, but I also feel eminently confident that all of those I disagree with would never ever approve of something as vile as this blogger's opinion regarding the deaths of brave Americans, even if it gave them political advantage against a hated domestic foe.

I don't know what else to say. This man's priorities are warped beyond reason.

UPDATE: I'm going to try and chill out and send him a civil e-mail to see if I can get him to respond and explain his motivations.
