Liberal Columnist Set Upon by Moonbat Mob

Richard Cohen's record of spewing progressive foolishness was not enough to save him from what he calls a "digital lynch mob" when he committed apostasy by not pretending that painfully lame "comedian" Stephen Colbert was humorous when he used his appearance at the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner as an opportunity to spit at the President. Cohen even went so far as to point out that Colbert is not only unfunny, but a bully.

For this act of incorrectness, Colbert was promptly set upon by a vicious flock of moonbats. He describes the emails they barraged him with as "a bucket of raw, untreated and disease-laden verbal sewage right in the face." From the point of view of the true believers rallied at cesspools like Daily Kos and Democratic Underground, anyone who doesn't like Colbert must like Bush — and therefore warrants the blind, seething hatred that characterizes the Left.

This has Cohen worried for the Democratic Party, the base of which consists of the spittle-spewing intolerant ideologues that have been marching toward his castle waving torches, people who are as Cohen puts it "so hyped on their own sanctimony that they will obliterate distinctions, punishing their friends for apostasy and, by so doing, aiding their enemies."

Cohen has seen the mentality before — back in Vietnam days, the era so many on the Left have chosen to inhabit indefinitely. That's when antiwar fanatics helped elect Richard Nixon by letting their psychotic rage spray out at the "Democratic middle" — i.e., the sort of relative moderates Shrillary will have to pass herself off as if she's going to get elected.

They say that organizing Libertarians is like herding cats. Herding rabid bats isn't much easier.
