Michael Barone writes about the victory for Ned Lamont and what it portends for the Democratic party now that they have been taken over by the Angry Left. And just as regular as clockwork, no sooner did the angry anti-American, anti-war candidate win his primary, British authorities broke up a plot to attack Western civilization by the Islamofascists.
The Angry Left is in denial about the existential threat that we face, just as they were in denial back in the 30s with the rise of Hitler. Back then it took a pretty solid whack on the head for the nattering nabobs to finally get the fact that we were under threat. Today's Angry Left seems no more intelligent than the ankle biters of that previous conflict. Obviously what we have to do is to shove the Angry Left aside until they learn to grow up and recognize the reality of the dangerous world in which we live.
Tuesday was a victory for the angry antiwar Left that set the tone in the Democrats' 2003-04 presidential cycle and seems likely to set the tone again in 2007-08. Thursday was a reminder that there are, as George W. Bush has finally taken to calling them, Islamic fascist terrorists who want to kill us and destroy our way of life.
Thursday's lesson was not one Tuesday's victors wanted to learn. Left-wing bloggers played an important part in Lamont's victory. Here's the reaction of one of them, John Aravosis, to the red alert ordered here in response to the British arrests: "Do I sound as if I don't believe this alert? Why, yes, that would be correct. I just don't believe it. Read the article. They say the plot had an 'Al Qaeda footprint.' Ooh, are you scared yet?"
