Whipped ones, in fact, as Environmental Republican demonstrates (via Glenn Reynolds). You see, he went looking for the Usual Antiwar Suspects’ outrage at the drone strikes in Pakistan, and discovered… well, that apparently it wasn’t really worth noting at all, really. His conclusion?
So what con we surmise from this little investigation? How about the left-wing of this country is populated with hypocritical ideologues who not only hated Bush but had a severe dislike for America. Now that they have a leader who they feel a kinship with, well, it’s all good.
You shouldn’t be surprised: the terrorists that got attacked weren’t Europeans – which is my polite way of saying that they weren’t sufficiently white and Western for the groups running the antiwar movement to particularly care, especially since caring might embarrass a President who isn’t a Republican. Was that too harsh? No? OK, let’s try again: the antiwar movement is run by racists who only like brown people when they can be used as clubs with which to beat anybody to the antiwar movement’s Right.
Well, anyone to their Right, and Jews. A quick perusal of the major players in question indicates that they’re all really upset that Israel isn’t baring its collective neck for the knife.

I think Im gonna have to borrow the European line
Alberta (Diary) Saturday, January 24th at 1:57PM EST (link)I usually go with ‘the left hates brown people’ but your way allows me to impune both their racism and hypocracy, and also their europhilia. Nice.
Sir, my concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on God’s side, for God is always right.

It's not a double standard, it's a make-it-up-as-you-go standard
NickDeringer (Diary) Saturday, January 24th at 2:17PM EST (link)In order to have a double standard the assumption is you have your own standard to begin with. Alas the left has no standards. It’s whatever feels right at the moment.
Witness the fact that 1 million Africans are being slaughtered in the Congo every year. Men, women and children, some tortured horribly, are being killed in the wars there. Where’s the outrage? Where are the stinging editorials? Where’s are the Dixie Chicks?
On the other hand 500 Palestinians are killed (about 80% of them Hamas fighters) and the media is wetting its collective pants demanding that Israel stop the slaughter.
Put mathematically:
1 million Africans = yawn
500 Palestinians = war crime

Youv'e stated an obvious but ignored fact.

They say Republicans are for the rich, Democrats are for the poor.
If they need more voters,
then they have to make more of who they are for.

You Hate Them Almost As Much As I Do! (nt)
IJB Saturday, January 24th at 2:21PM EST (link)I don't hate them at all, actually.
Moe Lane (Diary) Saturday, January 24th at 2:53PM EST (link)I take the position that “hate” implies “fear.”
I despise them with every atom in my body. All I need to sustain that is a elemental revulsion.

It is still too early.... they still blame this on Bush and Bush people...
JLenardDetroit (Diary) Saturday, January 24th at 3:35PM EST (link)To these (Lefty-loon) folk it has been done by people the great 0 (zero) hasn’t had a chance to root out of the Govt. and implement the Surrender First and Defense cuts Doctrine they know is just around the corner! So they cut him slack…. that is, of course, how their pea sized brains see it! Plus, Liberal Activism is never required under a Democrat administration so they’ve gone back to sleep until 2012 with the Socialists again in charge everything is now the Governments responsibility.

Bombing on Pakistan/Afghan border on Obamas watch
Scope (Diary) Saturday, January 24th at 4:05PM EST (link)Please see if you can find any mention of civilian deaths in this article. They mention the suspected “foreign militants”, I guess they were former terrorists, but don’t identify what the others were.

Yet we all were subjected to a false total of innocent Palistinian women and children who were slaughtered by the Israelis.
Has anyone else heard this news at all on the MSM?

Do any other countries have drones that would be bombing in that region?

History repeating itself
Next93 (Diary) Saturday, January 24th at 6:52PM EST (link)Back in 1972, when North Vietnam violated the treaty that brought about the US withdrawal from the south, the same “anti-war” movement that had spent the previous 12 years outraged at the immorality of war in general, sat with it’s collective thumbs up it’s collective butt. Narry a peep. Apparently, THAT war wasn’t immoral at all.
Truth is, there was no “anti-war” movement in the 60s’, there was an anti-draft movement. And there was no anti-war movement in this decade; it was an anti-Bush movement.
Obama was The One in 2008.
He’ll be a BIGGER one in 2012.
