The whole [Cindy Sheehan] kerfuffle was, however, informative in some ways. For one, it reveals that very few people on the antiwar left have any compunction at all about making common cause with someone who espouses virulent anti-American and anti-Semitic views. For another, it showed something we’ve long suspected: that some on the left–and not just the America-hating fringe–want America to lose this war.
I wish this weren’t true, but I think it is.
UPDATE: Blowback: “I actually felt myself become a republican today.”
I wouldn’t go that far.
