Posted at 12:22am on Jun. 9, 2008 Annnnnd now they want to scream about McCain's military pension.
Come, I will hide nothing from you: at first, this rather cheap tactic *incensed* me.

Which was probably their goal in the first place*, and never mind what a horrible thing that would be to have on your karma. But then I had the happy thought that if the diarists at Daily Kos and the writers at Americablog (H/T Hot Air) so badly want to trumpet their inability to:
1). Tell the difference between a military pension and a military pension modified for disability;
2). Comprehend why it's a bad idea to pitch fits over a Senator's stance on GI Benefits when they can't even get elementary details about them right themselves;
and/or
3). Internalize that there might be other reasons not to call into question the service and military pension of a man who has been tortured in the service of his country than the rather tawdry one that doing so makes the attacker look bad**;
...then who am I to stop them?

PS: Of course they're Obama supporters - Aravosis in particular. You actually had to ask?

Chicago Police Arrest Six Iraq War Protesters for Squirting Fake Blood on Easter Churchgoers
CHICAGO — Six Iraq war protesters disrupted an Easter Mass on Sunday, shouting and squirting fake blood on themselves and parishioners in a packed auditorium.
Three men and three women startled the crowd during Cardinal Francis George's homily, yelling "Even the Pope calls for peace" as they were removed from the Mass by security guards and ushers.
One Mass attendee, Mike Wainscott of Chicago, yelled at the anti-war protesters.
"Are you happy with yourselves?" he said. "There were kids in there. You scared little kids with your selfish act. Are you happy now?"
(Via Gateway Pundit)
Allow me to answer your question for him, Mr. Wainscott: of course he is. You have to understand that people like you are not precisely real to the antiwar movement; you're sort of... animated icons whose only purpose is to move around entertainingly in the background of whatever is this week's Message. They care no more about your feelings as they would care about those of the AI NPCs in their favorite first-person shooter. Less, really: you're unlikely to come out of nowhere and cause them to lose 25 life points.
So don't take it personally; it's not like they see you as one anyway.

PS: Please note, by the way, that it's a reasonably safe guess that none of these fools - or anyone else in the Illinois Coalition for Peace & Justice - will be voting for Senator John McCain in November.

Posted at 4:22am on Feb. 5, 2008 Progressives ban blood drives
If you're not with the radical agenda, you're against it.
By Neil Stevens
Blood is a constant need for those with medical emergencies or chronic problems, and the only way to get blood to those who need it is for people to donate their blood.
However, in order to ensure the safety of those who receive blood, there are a number of restrictions on those whose donations are accepted. Conditions that make blood medically useless include Creutzfeld-Jakob Disease, leukemia, lymphoma, hepatitis, AIDS, infections, malaria, syphilis, gonorrhea, sickle cells, and tuberculosis. To give a person blood from someone who has one of these conditions could be life threatening, and so the FDA requires that organizations take a list of precautions to prevent such diseases from getting into the blood system.
Progressives at San Jose State University are banning blood drives anyway, though. They have decided that the anti-HIV precautions are unacceptable, and so would rather not give blood at all, in order to attempt to bully the FDA into compromising its scientifically-sound, safety-first blood donation protocols.
