Great Example

I wrote earlier about how many conservative columnists extrapolate a statement made by some loner and apply it to all liberals. This column by the inimitable Michelle Malkin, provides a laughable example of this technique. Because a couple people said some nasty things about John Ashcroft's heath on blogs, we are all "a nation of ingrates who take joy in his illness while terrorists continue to plot to kill us all". Further, those who disagree with Ashcroft's aggressive are beneficiaries of his work to keep us "free, safe and stupid." Ms. Malkin, those of us who oppose Mr. Ashcroft's actions are the ones trying to keep us free and safe. Enjoy being all three.
