In fact, if you look through his front page of posts, you’ll find plenty of examples of it. Being left-leaning, I’m pretty certain that he is a supporter of, say, gay rights. I’m not sure of it, but given his blogroll, that’s a good bet.
Social conservatives like myself would prefer not to see gays in the military and feel like we’ve heard quite enough of who is coming out of the closet now and how proud so-and-so is about being gay. In the Islamofascists, we have an enemy that kills gays. Notice I didn’t say “prefers that gays were somewhere else,” but “kills gays.” As in, “stones them to death.” Rather than go through more examples, I will let this one suffice.
If you read Dr. Zaius’ blog, you’ll see endless cartoons and posts depicting President Bush as a clown, a moron, a warmonger or something similar. Indeed, plenty of mistakes have been made. Yes, some of the intelligence leading to the war was wrong. Being intimately familiar with such things, I can assure you that this is the norm and has been throughout history. You live with it and do the best you can.
Accepting the notion that you do the best you can seems to have been thrown out the window by Dr. Zaius. There seems to be no differentiation between the occasional clumsiness of the Bush administration and the outright evil of our enemies. Allow me one more example.
The terrorists, in Iraq, Afghanistan, Israel and elsewhere routinely use civilians and historical landmarks as shelter, knowing that we will do everything we can to avoid blowing them up. We developed a guided cement block bomb to deal with just this problem. Replacing a real 2000# bomb with inert cement, we found a way to deliver a lethal strike on a target close to, say, a hospital or a mosque. Collateral damage is minimized. There was a conscious effort to develop this weapon when it would have been much easier to simply use what we had, blow everything to bits and blame the Islamofascists for the civilian deaths.
On the flip side, the enemy uses mentally retarded recruits to drive car bombs into markets and incinerate innocent people. They also deliberately used their own children to sweep minefields.
Here’s another cartoon from Dr. Zaius.
Everyone is imperfect. When imperfect good is attacked and evil allowed to stand, you end up with evil every time. So what’s the goal here? Pointing out the imperfections of a good man leading a good country while ignoring an enemy that massacres civilians on purpose seems counter-productive. Wouldn't you expect to see vitriol distributed in proportion to the magnitude of the evil? After all, you would think that dead gays are worse than gays kicked out of the military. I could be wrong.
I’ll leave you with this video.
I suppose I can look forward to a nasty editorial cartoon about the folks in that video. Or haven’t we gotten to that point yet?

I hope we're not there yet. the lesson ignored about Imus is that there is a difference between attacking public figures and civilians.
What the heck are you tallking about, anyway? You just go around in circles. Try and focus on a point. I cannot begin to rebut all of the wacky stuff you said, but here is a start:
...gays in the military...
Who cares? Jeepers, you argument is ridiculous.
...Islamofascists, we...
I don't know how to break it to you, but Mussolini is dead. Please describe in detail your theory that people in Iraq are fascists. In detail. That phrase is absolutely absurd.
we have an enemy that kills gays...
Many people in the Middle East do indeed have little tolerance for homosexuals. We have made a large chunk of the Middle East our enemy, and it has nothing to do with which side of the street our men and women in uniform walk on.
Being intimately familiar with such things, I can assure you that this is the norm and has been throughout history.
Oh, so it's OK then. ***roll eyes*** Deception at worst, rhetoric at best.
There seems to be no differentiation between the occasional clumsiness of the Bush administration and the outright evil of our enemies.
And then you do exactly that, you differentiate it. WTF?

Wow, it sure is a good thing that we never put our children in harms way for a fool's errand. Oh, wait, I forgot - we do! How many lives is it OK with you to be lost today, all for the cause of Haliburton and the oil companies? This week? This month? Tell me what number is too high for you.
Your post about me is not a discussion, it is a diatribe. Please do not come back to Zaius Nation if you are just going to be unpleasant. I have no intention jumping into a flame war with you. Find someone else.
I do like your cat, though. Cats are always welcome.
This dr. zaius sounds just like Andrew Sullivan when he got his knickers in a twist and turned against Bush over the pyramid of naked men in Abu Graib.
These lefty gays, oops, I mean guys get so hysterical and are so immature that it's not worth engaging them in any discussion.
I see immaturity as the defining characteristic of the left, hence the screaming incredulity whenever they lose an election and is also at the root of BDS.
PS. I guess he's unaware that the Ba'athist party is modeled on Hitler's Nazis.
'Please do not come back to Zaius Nation'
Amusing that while telling you not to come back to his blog, he links to it.
PPS. OK, since there was a link I checked out his blog and found it to be rather silly. Like I said before, juvenile.
I love Doctor Zaius. I love teh gay. How can you not?
Seriously, the ancient Greeks had it right. You are WAY more likely to die in battle against Islamofascists if the soldier next to you is someone you slept with last night. Seriously.
