Shouldn't This be Obvious?

U-Wire, a national syndication service for college newspapers, has printed an op-ed entitled, "10 Reasons Not to Kill Bush." The article rehearses a number of charges stating essentially the same thing: Killing Bush would be bad PR for the Left. The last reason our budding journalist lists for not gunning down the leader of the free world in cold blood is that it would be "immoral."

Who says the academic Left has no sense of morality? And you were worried.

I don't think it was offensive. It just talked about what would happen if the president was killed from a democrats perspective and the last paragraph was very resonable.

Reason #11: It is against the law.

"Recently in Georgia, the president gave a speech only to have someone chuck a hand grenade at him."

Since she didn't add "Republic" after "Georgia" to make an obviously needed clarification, it's easy to suspect that the author, a Jennifer McBride, simply didn't know the difference.

And there's also this little gem, made after denouncing a person "who advocates purposefully killing someone defenseless."

"I don't understand the logical contortions some people must go through to be anti-death penalty yet pro-assassination."

The real difficulty is being "anti-death penalty" (for a brutal serial killer) but supportative of legalized abortion of "defenseless" babies. But I suspect that's beyond her ability to detect hypocrisy.

That said, it is to her credit that she's ashamed to be linked to the "loudmouths" who seem to speak for today's Democratic party. And their ranting brings to mind the ancient Greek proverb: "Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad."

It would be interesting to delve into this lad's sense of morality, as "bad PR" seems to be his main concern for Leftism.

It's as if a young leftist, a potential future neoconservative, has written this, slowly coming to the realization that he's embarrassed by his screaming political fellows, almost to the point where he too cannot deny their stupidity and voluntarily leaves their company. Either that, or he'll reinvigorate his sense of loyalty to The Cause by writing post-mortem PR whitewashes of Mao and Stalin.

We can hope reality mugs him with a tire iron.
