Also siding with the terrorists by that logic? Multiple White House aides, several prominent liberal bloggers, members of the White House Press Corps, writers for Slate, and I’m sure SNL by Monday. And yet here we are:

“The Republican Party has thrown in its lot with the terrorists – the Taliban and Hamas this morning – in criticizing the President for receiving the Nobel Peace prize,” DNC communications director Brad Woodhouse told POLITICO. “Republicans cheered when America failed to land the Olympics and now they are criticizing the President of the United States for receiving the Nobel Peace prize – an award he did not seek but that is nonetheless an honor in which every American can take great pride – unless of course you are the Republican Party.

“The 2009 version of the Republican Party has no boundaries, has no shame and has proved that they will put politics above patriotism at every turn. It’s no wonder only 20 percent of Americans admit to being Republicans anymore – it’s an embarrassing label to claim,” Woodhouse said.

Got that? Patriotism is now defined as mindlessly supporting the president in everything he does on every issue. Which would be in stark contrast to the claims Democrats have made for the past eight years, which included dissent being the highest form of patriotism.

How we go from not wanting costly Olympics and laughing at absurd awards to siding with people trying to kill American citizens is beyond me. Especially considering that it’s conservatives who want to thoroughly defeat the Taliban while Obama wants to make friends with them. But that’s liberal logic for you.

Incidentally, the DNC is — unsurprisingly — wrong in its claim about Americans associating with Republicans. 42% identify themselves as either Republicans or independents who associate with the Republican Party. Just six percent more identify themselves as Democrats or independents associating with Democrats. That’s the smallest gap in party affiliation since 2005.

Liberals ignoring basic facts and being hypocritical. What else is new.
