Left side of the blogosphere

I did a little experiment using Google's blog-search. It began with a simple thought: I wonder how the left side of the blogosphere is covering the president of Iran's psychopathic remarks concerning the demise of America and Israel. To refresh your memory:

Addressing students at the conference, [President of Iran] Ahmadinejad said, "To those who doubt, to those who ask is it possible, or those who do not believe, I say accomplishment of a world without America and Israel is both possible and feasible."

and:

Iran's new president created a sense of outrage in the west yesterday by describing Israel as a "disgraceful blot" that should be "wiped off the face of the earth".

How would the left side of the blogosphere cover these disgraceful remarks? Using Google's new blog-search, let's check how many times the following left-of-center blogs covered this explicit and de facto  declaration of war against both America and Israel:

Daily Kos

55 rove
17 fitzmas
1 chimpy
0 "israel must be wiped off the face of the earth"

Buzz Machine

27 Bush
0 "israel must be wiped off the face of the earth"

Matthew Yglesias

45 Bush
0 "israel must be wiped off the face of the earth"

PressThink

8 Miller (Judy)
0 "israel must be wiped off the face of the earth"

Austin Bay

20 Bush
0 "israel must be wiped off the face of the earth"

Well, I guess we know who's covering the important topics, don't we?

These commentators are so inwardly focused on their perceived villains -- Karl Rove, for instance, who keeps pounding them like bongo drums in election after election -- that they can't see the real face of evil. Given an opportunity to be pro-America, these blogs are MIA.

And this is exactly the reason that the left can't be allowed anywhere near the levers of power in this country.
