The Blame the Left First Crowd
Denver Post columnist David Harsanyi is apparently starting a local Colorado branch of the national Republican Party's new "Blame the Left First Crowd" - a group of people who would like America to believe the Iraq War has been a disaster not because of President Bush or neoconservatives in Washington, but because progressive bloggers have documented how all the lies, propaganda and rosy predictions have proven to be factually inaccurate. See what I'm talking about here.

When konservatives find their policies coming home to roost and their butts are on the line, they'll always find someone or something to blame instead of correct the problem. The only mistake the Left made was letting the kons get away with it. The Left must be firm in its opposition, not settle for "negotions", cave in, and then be someone's fall guy or gal. If the Left had individuals the likes of Sirota, Bernard Sanders, Webb, etc ... the "Right" would never be able to get away with their smoke screen tricks to begin with.
