As you have pointed out, Glenn, the difference in sourcing (anonymous comments on left versus authored articles on right) of these inhuman comments is amazing. Will Kurtz now denounce Mark Levin's column that you excerpted on on your earlier post today?
[Greenwald:] Several days ago, Mark Levin, writing at National Review, complained about a New York Times article reporting on U.S. actions against Al Qaeda in the Horn of Africa, claiming that the Times "gives up more of our strategic secrets." After excerpting part of the article, Levin -- following the "kill-the-traitor" code which Frank Gaffney has been urging -- concluded as follows:
Oh, do I long for the good old days when Abraham Lincoln, our greatest president, punished such acts of betrayal. And no, I am not joking.
The faux reference to Lincoln notwithstanding, here we have a death wish that ain't no joke-- or at least so he says. Vile enough, Mr. Kurtz?
