Mr. Thrush, care to revise your claim that Democrats were merely “accused” of rooting against the American interests, unlike Republicans, who, in your telling, clearly do so?

And care to compare the stakes involved in the two cases — in one case, a liberal clearly rooting for higher US casualties and deaths in a war versus a bit of crowing that The One is finally beginning to learn the valuable lesson — which only a callow seventh-grader would usually need to learn — that his vaunted charisma can’t solve all of his problems?
