Loathesome wingnut ‘o the day

This one is always hard to choose, but I think we’ve got a winner:
“The whole idea is to invite retaliatory fire, to tell your civilians not to hide or to flee the areas where the Israelis are about to hit, and then get the civilian casualty numbers up,” Lowry explained. “And then use that as a propaganda tool, and hope the media will report it as if it’s Israel’s fault.”
“The four little kids, for example who were killed right on the beach, right on the Mediterranean in Gaza, you think that’s Hama’s fault?” Carlson wondered.
“Yeah,” Lowry insisted. “It’s wouldn’t be happening, there’s no reason for this conflict except for that Hamas is sending the Rockets over into Israel.”
“Why don’t they tell people, ‘When Israel warns you that they’re about to hit, please flee, please go somewhere someplace safe’?” he continued. “They don’t. And you’ve had various Hamas officials over the years bragging, ‘We’re going to win because we love death more than you love life.'”
It shouldn’t be surprising. The last few weeks have made very clear that the only children these people care about are ones who haven’t been born yet. Callously blaming them for their own deaths — as if they meant to die to make a political point — is just par for the course. They were children.
Let’s face it, when Tucker Carlson sounds compassionate by comparison, you should know by now that you look like a sadistic ass.
(And you know that these kids were just playing outside a shed on the beach where their father stores his boat. And that they don’t have anywhere to hide anyway. More here.)
