Each week, the members of the Watchers Council nominate one of their own posts and a second from outside the Council for consideration by other council members in a contest for the week’s best post. Last week’s submissions – helpfully rounded up by Council member Joshuapundit under the title “He’s Bowing And Scrapin’, We’re All Watching Palin…” – set up a week of insane but not entirely unpredictable unhinged leftwing venom.
Just to sum up where the liberal catechism now stands, updated through last week: (1) it is vitally important to be concerned about the “hearts and minds” of Muslims who would have us abandon measures like drone attacks, where we kill terrorists (2) it is “cowardly” to be concerned about the “hearts and minds” of Muslims who welcome bringing KSM to NYC, a move jihadists are gleefully anticipating and (3) what’s actually “dangerous” and worthy of non-cowardly fear – per the campaign brownshirts who became Obama’s Organizing for America – is Palin’s book tour.
Your intellectual and moral superiors at work.
Not coincidentally, the winners from last week’s nominations revolved around this theme of deeply revelatory liberal incoherence. Bookworm Room had the top post, unpacking of how our super-keen Vulcan can be having so much trouble. The runner up was The Razor with a post about the ignorance of the Obama administration. Those are where you’ll want to start, and all of the posts – listed after the jump – are worth taking a look at.
