ORCINUS WAS CORRECT

I noted here some time ago that Orcinus was correct about the conservatives: In their tiny world, almost everything bad is the fault of liberals. Via Atrios and Walcott, today I learned that Dinesh D'Souza exemplifies this attitude in his new book.

Walcott notes these gems:

"In this book I make a claim that will seem startling at the outset. The cultural left in this country is responsible for causing 9/11."

"I am saying that the cultural left and its allies in Congress, the media, Hollywood, the nonprofit sector and the universities are the primary cause of the volcano of anger toward America that is erupting from the Islamic world."

"There is no way to restore the culture without winning the war on terror. Conversely, the only way to win the war on terror is to win the culture war. Thus we arrive at a sobering truth. In order to crush the Islamic radicals abroad, we must defeat the enemy at home."
