That's the only word that comes to mind. Infuriating. Well, that and "piece of shit." Mary has the latest from Michael Moore. It must be read to be believed.
exit zero: Notes from a hate site
The Iraqis who have risen up against the occupation are not "insurgents" or "terrorists" or "The Enemy." They are the REVOLUTION, the Minutemen, and their numbers will grow -- and they will win. Get it, Mr. Bush? You closed down a friggin' weekly newspaper, you great giver of freedom and democracy! Then all hell broke loose. The paper only had 10,000 readers! Why are you smirking?...… There is a lot of talk amongst Bush's opponents that we should turn this war over to the United Nations. Why should the other countries of this world, countries who tried to talk us out of this folly, now have to clean up our mess? I oppose the U.N. or anyone else risking the lives of their citizens to extract us from our debacle. I'm sorry, but the the majority of Americans supported this war once it began and, sadly, that majority must now sacrifice their children until enough blood has been let that maybe -- just maybe -- God and the Iraqi people will forgive us in the end"
That’s not a random DU commenter or an Indymedia brownshirt making this spittle-flecked diatribe. It’s Michael Moore, filmmaker and Oscar winner, praying for the deaths of American soldiers while praising the ‘minutemen’ who deliberately murdered 82 Iraqis and a Shiite cleric last August, who murdered more than a 140 Shiite Muslims on the holiest day of the Shiite calendar.
