Truest statement of the week

The right-wing of the blogosphere has been alight with embittered glee at this sudden about face by a prominent antiwar group: the headline of a blog post by Michael Moynihan on Reason’s "Hit and Run" -- "It’s Different When Obama Does It, Part 35" -- pretty much summed up the general sentiment. Not that Moynihan and the top editors at Reason said or did anything to protest Bush’s wars -- back when they were popular, that is – but still: the transformation of Code Pink from a solid antiwar group into a gaggle of political whores is a sight that has the War Party guffawing. How soon before Medea’s calls to end the war morph into "win the war" -- no doubt under the general rubric of an Afghan "war on poverty"? Scary stuff -- and it isn’t even Halloween yet.

-- Justin Raimondo, "Code Yellow: The selling-out of the antiwar movement" (Antiwar.com).
