1432 Looney Left and Paleo-Right, together again

Why is Cindy Sheehan playing footsie with David Duke? Victor Davis Hanson has an excellent article on the extreme left and extreme right falling into bed together, breathing heavy in their hatred of George Bush and the United States.

"This odd symbiosis began right after 9/11. Then the lunatic Left mused about the "pure chaos" of the falling "two huge buck teeth" twin towers, lamented that they were more full of Democrats than Republicans, and saw the strike as righteous payback from third-world victims.

The mirror-imaging fundamentalists and censors in turn saw the attack as an angry God's retribution either for an array of our mortal sins or America's tilting toward Israel."

Besides David Duke, on the right he lists racists and fascists (admittedly, obscure and not as well known as the big time left). On the left he has Harold Meyerson, George Soros, and the grieving, self-serving Mrs. Sheehan.

I don't recall Cindy Sheehan making ANY reference to David Duke. HE said something about HER, but that seems to be the limit of it. That could hardly be called "playing footsie."

This brave anony-mouse came over from LISNews, so I needed to delete 2 of the more obnoxious comments, but left one that reflects the sympathies of mousy.
