Liberal Equation: Mahmoud = Gravitas (Error Value #DIV/0!)

Dean Barnett not only gets it right... he gets it right...  He ponders why the left hasn't said much about Ahmadinejad's visit to the U.S.?

The facile explanation would be that the American left so thoroughly despises George W. Bush that it instinctively empathizes with anyone hostile to Bush, not bothering to ponder whether any such figure may bear ill-will not only for George W. Bush but for all Americans.  Some of us remember when the Mahdi appeared on “60 Minutes” and the Daily Kos inmates gushed over his “intelligence” and “saviness”, with one commenter even bluntly declaring, “I like the guy.”  Unfortunately, that commenter didn’t elaborate whether what he liked most about Ahmadinejad was his plan for annihilating Israel or making homosexual dalliances a capital offense.

[...]

Why have American liberals been silent regarding Ahmadinejad doing Manhattan?  Because they have forgotten that he is America’s enemy, and that they are part of America even though they didn’t vote for the current Oval Office occupant.

How can anybody have a logical argument with the left when they bark stupidity to those who don't believe in anthropogenic global warming, yet give a pass to a guy who doesn't believe the Holocaust ever happened?  Oh yeah... you can't.  I guess empirical evidence can only back your argument some of the time.

And I make that statement with full awareness that the right can make the same mistake.

I don't know what looks more retarded...  The left continually yelling that Bush is a fascist, yet turn on a dime and sympathize with a fascist -- putting him on the pedestal of cleverness.  Or the left continually showing that their illogic can only be calculated with an equation that has variables such as head diameter and rectal aperture.
