As the Left Turns

Dennis Miller has often observed that the left tends to treat its "turncoats" with greater ugliness than does the right. Exhibit A is right here, as a writer with the left-wing British newspaper The Guardian eviscerates Cindy Sheehan. Amazing that many of the behaviors that previously bothered the left not at all -- including clearly anti-Semitic remarks -- are now being catalogued and purveyed by Sheehan's erstwhile friends.

She's even been banned from posting on the Daily Kos.

The entire episode once again demonstrates that the point of the whole pro-Sheehan media mania had nothing to do with any real sympathy for a bereaved mother, or anything but mindless political trashing of President Bush.

Now that Sheehan has threatened to run against Democrat Nancy Pelosi, she is no longer of use to the American political left. And so she's "outta here."
