Strike One for Edwards

[dazzleman]

Edwards let his liberal philosophy slip with the use of one word -- tragedy.

Sept. 11th was not a tragedy.  It was an act of war.  Tragedy is when a tree falls on a car and kills somebody by accident.  Deliberate murder of thousands of people is not a tragedy.

This is typical of the morally neutral liberal stance toward those who attack us.

Well then Edwards should have acknowledged that, rather than making Bush sound like an ambulance chaser (maybe a little bit of projection going on there).

In my experience, liberals like to blur the line between perpetrator and victim, making violent acts into "tragedies" for both parties.  Or if they do seek to assign guilt, it will be based more on extraneous factors, like the race and/or gender of the parties involved.
