Look, the point is, liberals are BAD!

Digby makes an excellent point:
The ubiquitous right-wing accusation against those of us on the left, for years, has been that we're in league with al Qaeda and assorted other "Islamofacists," because we hate America and want to let them destroy it. Ann Coulter got a whole "book" out of this, Treason. Basically, we're accused of wanting to just surrender to al Qaeda.
Which would seem to directly contradict the newly ubiquitous right-wing accusation that liberals are the ones pissing al Qaeda off by being so, you know, gay and licentious and liberal and did I mention gay? Dinesh D'Souza has just gotten a whole "book" out of this idea, The Enemy at Home: The Cultural Left and Its Responsibility for 9/11.
So, to recap: we're a treasonous "fifth column" guilty of helping, and wanting to surrender to, al Qaeda, so they can suspend our freedoms. But, at the same time, we're guilty of being the ones making al Qaeda mad, so the only solution is to suspend our freedoms and surrender to al Qaeda so they'll stop being mad.
Either we're guilty of surrendering to them, or we're guilty of not surrendering to them. Conservative logic, dear readers.
