Really?! So now even the Rude Pundit is thrown under the bus by DUers?

421. We have different priorities as to what is most offensive, obviously. When I see the word

'Cheney' I see tortured innocents, some tortured to death. I see Dahr Jamail's photo journals of dead Iraqi Children, hundreds of bodies, little children, some with their faces burned off, white phospherous, bombs, gunshots, I see pregnant mothers with their babies blown out of their bodies and dogs eating the bodies of the innocent dead, dead because of the monster Cheney and his war criminal cohorts. I see THIS post as extremely offensive, but accurate, true, real, a record of what we did there, there is more, more images that come to mind when I see the word Cheney, or Bush, or Rice or Rumsfeld or Woflowitz, Ledeen among others. I see the women in our detention who were raped, brutally and the children who were sodomized, yes, we know this for a fact.

Yes, there are things we need to 'get past' in order of priorities. And when someone focuses on what, imo, is one of the most important priorities, our brutal, vicious, criminal foreign policy, as the Rude One did in his rant against Cheney, sorry if the words that so offended you, were completely overshadowed for ME by all those horrific images of man's inhumanity against man, FOR PROFIT. Those images, those real, horrific, monstrous images, completely obliterated everything else.

When we begin the process of at least trying to bring some justice to the surviving victims, including our own troops, I guess I'll be able to worry about a few words. Until then, I will keep those images alive, because I refuse to become so apathetic that I can forget them, brush them aside, and focus on some 'offensive words'. I imagine all those who died or survived to live lives of pain both physical and mental would love to have nothing else to worry them than a few offensive words.

To me, but maybe I am strange, Cheney's war crimes and anyone willing to go after him, to refuse to forget his crimes, are way more of a priority than a few offensive words.

But that's me. I barely noticed those words to be honest and I wonder, did those who saw NOTHING ELSE really feel those words are more important than the substance of that most excellent reminder that War Criminals still walk freely among us?
