  Heh...

  We needed a bit of comedy here. The atmosphere was getting a bit thick, after all.

  -- Iokannan in the Well

  I think it is some of the commenters who are getting a bit thick.

  Rick Perlstein, (left wing gatekeeper and neocon corporatist stooge) dug up some of Ivins' letter to the editor, which you can read at the link to the link. He also links to Glenn's article on 8/1. As I said, without knowing who he voted for, and we cannot, the fact he was a registered Democrat is really not much to go on, but interesting.

  The question of right-wing terrorism: anthrax

  [...]

  This guy was no down-the-line conservative ("The Roman Catholic Church should learn from other equally worthy Christian denominations and eagerly welcome female clergy as well as married clergy," he writes in March of 2002), but I hope I don't exaggerate in claiming a decidedly wingnutty tilt to his thinking. If this is the same guy who composed the note framing jihadists for the anthrax attacks ("This is next/Take Penacilin Now/Death To America/Death To Israel/Allah is great"); and, as Greenwald seems to suspect, and if he was the same guy who misled ABC into reporting the presence in the anthrax of a substance that only Iraq had used to create biological weapons, what we may have on our hands here is an American ginning up a causis belli for a Christian jihad against Islam, and killing fellow Americans to do it.

  This is very, very heavy stuff. If any of this turns out to be the case, I will, again, take no pleasure in the vindication.

  Now I will retire for awhile and return the asylum to the control of the newer inmates (lunatics).
