Glen Greenwald: Right-Wing Blogs Show Support for Al-Qaida Assassination Plots

[NYCGirl]

These Little Green Footballs guys are even creepier than the freepers!

Revelations that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed planned assassination plots against former Presidents Carter and Clinton -- especially Carter -- are causing great confusion among right-wing Civilization Warriors. After all, as John Hinderaker previously pointed out: "Jimmy Carter isn't just misguided or ill-informed. He's on the other side."

Michelle Malkin's Hot Air expressed this confusion: " confessed to 29 plots in all, including the Richard Reid shoebomb plot and planned assassinations of the pope and . . . Jimmy Carter?" These extremists come to believe their twisted rhetoric that Democrats are on the side of Al Qaeda and so they literally can't understand why Mohammed would want to assassinate his own allies like President Carter.

But commenters at Little Green Footballs have not only expressed surprise, but outright support, for Mohammed's assassination plot against a former U.S. President. They are out in droves expressing sorrow that Al Qaeda did not have the opportunity to carry out its plot.

Let us first recall that LGF's Charles Johnson was one of the leaders of the Outrage Brigade driving the big "story" -- that made it into virtually every national media outlet -- of how anonymous HuffPost commenters expressed sorrow that the bombing in Afghanistan did not result in Dick Cheney's death. In her post that spawned the media coverage, Michelle Malkin touted Johnson's righteous condemnation that "this kind of sick, twisted thinking is everywhere in the 'progressive' blogosphere...And it's even sicker than it appears at first glance, because many of these freaks want to see Cheney dead so that he can't become president if someone assassinates President Bush."

1. Confused wingers, still in denial that they are the terrorists

are brothers under the skin.

[gaspee]

2. She makes me ill

Malkin is the kid who egged the stupid follower types on, but always managed to keep her own butt out of trouble. She's a disgrace. She makes stuff up wholesale. I have no idea why anyone would ever consider her a journalist. I think I dislike her even more than I dislike The Coultergeist.

With Coultergeist it seems like she knows what she's saying is utter bullshit, but Malkin actually believes the insane shit she makes up in her head.
