From the Belly of the Beast

How is the American left responding to today’s terrorist attacks in London? The posters at Democratic Underground represent the heart and soul of the left, and, arguably, of the Democratic Party. Check out this message thread for their views on the latest terrorist outrage. Warning, this is only for those with strong stomachs. The debate is basically between those who think President Bush is only indirectly responsible for the terrorist attacks, and those who think the administration actually carried out the bombings. Like this guy:

I am so cynical…
That all I can think is “how convenient” that this happened to take the light off Karl Rove.
I don’t think anything is on the “up-and-up” anymore, not even terrorist attacks.

Yes, that’s it, all right. The Bush administration is now staging terrorist bombings to distract attention from Karl Rove. Fortunately, however, our leftist friends have their attention riveted firmly on Rove, and they won’t be distracted by something as insignificant as terrorist attacks.
