Ouais, et Alors ?

They can’t hack it. The “Little Eichmanns” who comment at Rue 89 can’t bear the very notion that a French public figure has anything positive to say about the US, Israel, or basically anything mentioned by their public figures. The Rorschach inkblot that set them off? A review of Sarko’s books in the NYT by Bernard Henri Lévi. Rue 89’s “good points and bad points” approach was more than the lurkers could bear.

Behold one commeter who found a link to a pud-cast piece questioning Lévi’s patriotism and nationality while hashing over the miniscule CPE reforms. I have an even better question for these clucking buffoons: how could anyone who looks fondly on the European left, the one that compelled Ho Chi Minh, Pol Pot, and Mao Tse Tung to commit real-life bloodshed with their academic arguments about how many dead it would take to make a proper socialist society question ANYONE’S ethics or patriotism from their Commophiliac transational mass-murdering perch?

Operating from the starting point where BHL is just indulging flatulent overweigh chain-smoking American trailer park dwellers, they can’t quite consolidate the comparative poverty of both spirit and material comfort inherent in their “revolutionary” world view which does more to kill and oppress than elevate from poverty of provide with hope.
