The Moronic Convergence

How the loony left and the wacko right are coming together[*1] to oppose the war against militant Islam:

An anguished Cindy Sheehan calls Bush “the world’s biggest terrorist.” And she goes on to blame Israel for the death of her son (“Yes, he was killed for lies and for a PNAC Neo-Con agenda to benefit Israel. My son joined the Army to protect America, not Israel”).

Her antiwar venom could easily come right out of the mouth of a more calculating David Duke. Perhaps that’s why he lauded her anti-Semitism: “Courageously she has gone to Texas near the ranch of President Bush and braved the elements and a hostile Jewish supremacist media.”

Via Little Green Footballs[*2] .James Taranto at OpinionJournal’s Best of the Web has also struck on the Harmonic Convergence parallel[*3]

In a speech to supporters Wednesday, Sheehan claimed the support of “tens of thousands of angels.” The Associated Press reports that New York racial demagogue Al Sharpton plans to join Sheehan in Texas on Sunday, while the neo-Nazi Web site Stormfront.org says its backers will arrive tomorrow to “help put up a White Nationalist voice in the protest against Bush’s War for Israel that was started by Cindy Sheehan.”

Next, according to blogger Jonathan Wilson: “Celebrity boxing with Tonya Harding.” The universe certainly has a sense of humor.

This would be funny if the stakes weren’t so high.
