Why is it that those marching in protests and carrying signs exhorting the death of someone, are always leftists?

Why is it that whenever a terrorist misses, those saddened or outraged over the "miss" are always leftists?

Some Americans sorry Cheney survived
'You can never find a competent suicide bomber when you need one'

Vice President Cheney
Some of Dick Cheney's many fierce enemies on the left were unable to withhold their glee today after the vice president escaped an apparent assassination attempt in Afghanistan.

Cheney was unharmed when a suicide bomber attacked the entrance to the main U.S. military base in Afghanistan where he spent the night, killing up to 23 people and wounding 20.

Readers of the Huffington Post, a popular blog run by pundit Arianna Huffington, responded to an Associated Press account of the attack with at least a dozen pages of vitriol before the thread of posts was shut down.

Comments posted to the site include:

Better luck next time! (TDB)

Dr Evil escapes again ... damn. (truthtopower01)

So Cheney is personally responsible for the deaths of 14 innocent people ... and then he waddles off to lunch!! What a piece of sh--! (fantanfanny)

Jesus Christ and General Jackson too, can't the Taliban do anything right? They must know we would be so gratefull (sic) to them for such a remarkable achievement. (hankster2)

Hey, Thalia, lighten up. I, for one, don't wish Cheny (sic) had been killed. I wish he had been horribly maimed and had to spend the rest of his life hooked to a respirator. Feel better now? (raisarooney)

Let's see ... they're killing him over there so we don't have to kill him over here? (ncjohn)

And they missed!? Oh, Hell. Like Mamma used to say, I guess it's the thought that counts ... (Anachro1)

You can never find a competent suicide bomber when you need one. (Mark701)

One contributor to the string of comments, "MNCurler," echoed many others, writing: "The posts advocating for Cheney's demise really show the class of the people who post here. No wonder you can't get a civil debate on this site- we are dealing with lunatic idiots."

The Taliban took responsibility for the attack at Bagram Airbase, declaring Cheney was the target.

The vice president's spokeswoman said he was unharmed and later met with Afghan President Hamid Karzai in Kabul before leaving the country.

On the departing flight, Cheney told reporters the attack occurred while he was in his room at the base after bad weather forced postponement of his trip to Kabul, about 40 miles away.

"At 10 a.m. I heard a loud boom," Cheney said.

The vice president said Secret Service officials moved him briefly to a bomb shelter.

Cheney said changing plans and not going to Kabul was "never an option."

FATAL INSTINCT
Left spews deadly venom over Tony Snow's cancer
'He is pure lying scum and should die ASAP!'

Moments after White House Press Secretary Tony Snow's new personal battle against cancer became public yesterday, a vicious assault was launched at left-leaning websites, with some message posters hoping for a swift death for the presidential spokesman.

"Under the heading of 'What goes around comes around', the cancer in Tony Snow is removing the cancer of Tony Snow from the national scene," wrote TDoff on the D.C. gossip site Wonkette.com.

Omnilation wrote, "Dear Tony, I hate you. -God."

A contributor called homofascist stated, "It is a ***** that I wouldn't wish upon even a smarmy, evil f---face liar like Snow. Because really, isn't he OUR smarmy, evil f---face liar?"

Some readers at HuffingtonPost.com reportedly said:

"Sure holding all that bulls**t in your gut would make anybody sick..!"

"The growth in his abdomen is his head stuck up his a**. F**k him!! He is pure lying scum and should die ASAP!!"

Beccawalton was among those calling for an end to the venom-spewing:

"Stop these mean-spirited and hypocritical posts. Just because you don't like his politics (and I don't, either), don't revel in this. It's inhuman and cruel. I'm not going to waste space to prove my liberal cred, just stop it!"

And PghLori noted:

"There are freakin' idiots on both sides of the political divide, and here you're looking at the lib side. Aside from the fact that it is just ignorant to make jokes about cancer, it's also self-defeating, as [Rush] Limbaugh, [Sean] Hannity, etc. will refer to these postings as examples of hate-filled libs, just as they did with the Cheney board postings. Thanks a lot folks."
Vice President Cheney

In fact, the verbal attack on Snow came exactly one month after a similar onslaught against Vice President Dick Cheney who survived an assassination attempt in Afghanistan.

An example from the HuffingtonPost on Feb. 27 included:

"Jesus Christ and General Jackson too, can't the Taliban do anything right? They must know we would be so gratefull (sic) to them for such a remarkable achievement."

The HuffingtonPost is run by Arianna Huffington, who has described herself as "a former right-winger who has evolved into a compassionate and progressive populist."

A disclaimer on her site above the remarks about Tony Snow states "these comments are the personal opinions of the individuals posting them and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Huffington Post. We do not generate, solicit, or moderate user comments, but reserve the right to remove postings as we see fit."

Snow, 51, had his colon removed in 2005 and underwent six months of chemotherapy. Colleagues said his cancer has returned and spread to his liver and elsewhere, and that Snow told them he planned to fight the disease and return to his position.
