Sometimes we kind of exaggerate our headlines for effect. Kind of like an eyerolling "how absurd is the left - why don't they just go ahead and go all the way" hyperbole kind of thing. Sometimes it's flat out true because they're totally insane:

early one out of every five Democrats thinks the world will be better off if America loses the war in Iraq, according to the FOX News Opinion Dynamics Poll released Thursday. The percentage of Democrats (19 percent) who believe that is nearly four times the number of Republicans (5 percent) who gave the same answer. Seven percent of independents said the world would be better off if the U.S. lost the war. Overall, 11 percent of Americans think the world would be "better off" if the U.S. lost the war, and 73 percent disagree. Opinion Dynamics Corp. conducted the national telephone poll of 900 registered voters for FOX News from Sept. 25 to Sept. 26. The poll has a 3-point margin of error.

We close with the usual line: reasonable Democrats can say any of the following: (1) they can agree with this incandescently stupid position (2) they can insist that these borderline traitors don't control the Democratic party or (3) they can promise to wrest control of their party back from same. Or they can keep living in a thin bubble of denial insulated by ritualistically muttered catechisms about engagement with genocidal thugs and social policy. Which is what they'll do.
