I find it funny how sometimes I write something, have someone else fervently disagree with it, and then within hours get real-life confirmation that I was right all along.

The left is an anti-intellectual movement, but with the ironic twist that they believe they are completely rational

Juan Cole raising money for radical Islam-->

Case in point--the moonbats have been completely and utterly humiliated by actual events. Not to put too fine a point on it, but basically they've been wrong about everything. Not surprisingly, they'll never admit that, in spite of the evidence of their eyes. This is how the left rolls.

Juan Cole is decrying all the neocons he's forced to compete with in the 2008 Weblog Awards for Best Middle East or Africa Blog. He thinks Helena Cobban -- a deranged Hezbollah supporter -- should have been nominated instead of someone like me. He's worked his leftist readers into a tizzy, and they're putting him over the top. I don't really care if I win this award; I won it last year. But Juan Cole certainly doesn't deserve it.

Michael Totten, like Michael Yon and several others, actually went to Iraq and Afghanistan, to report first hand what they saw, yet Cole thinks some whack job with the right, or rather "left" ideology should get the award. Consequently, he's started a moonbat swarm to rig the vote.

You know what they say about the value of turnout at the polls.

Vote for Mike here.
