Swift-boating Murtha, slandering Democrats

(I'd like to thank Andrew Sullivan, one of my favourite bloggers, for linking to this post and to welcome his readers to The Reaction. I hope you enjoy your stay here and I invite you to keep coming back for multiple daily posts on politics, culture, and various related topics. Thanks again, Andrew.)

An addendum to my post from earlier this evening:

At AMERICAblog, John Aravosis reveals that the Pentagon (White House?) is already swift-boating Murtha. Not that we could honestly have expected anything else. This is how they deal with their opponents, with those who dare to question them.

Digby responds.

Right-wing insanity alert:

Michelle Malkin stand-in Lorie Byrd: "This war has become the Democrats' best hope for 2006 and they are going to do whatever it takes to get the maximum advantage from it. The more American lives that are lost between now and then, the better they think it will be for them. That is the sad truth. Hopefully, not even the mainstream media will not be able to disguise that strategy."

Or: Democrats want American troops to die.

It's truly and utterly shameful that so many on the right hold this astonishingly partisan and ignorant view. But that's only because so many of them have lost their minds.
