Spitting on Marla Ruzicka's grave [View All]

[otohara]

The litany of distortions and petty personal attacks is absurd enough that it's almost comical -- until it is not. Debbie Schlussel, a right-wing political "commentator" and self-proclaimed heiress to Ann Coulter, has a truly nasty piece appearing in David Horowitz's hysteric Front Page Magazine, in which she asserts that humanitarian activist Marla Ruzicka deserved to die at the hands of Iraqi terrorists.

Schlussel just can't believe the amount of media coverage Ruzicka received following her tragic death in Iraq earlier this month -- especially given that Ruzicka wasn't a sports hero, or a victim of sodomy.

"There are plenty of young American men and women Ruzicka's age and younger who've been brutalized or killed in Iraq and Afghanistan. But none of them got the wall-to-wall fawning coverage that Ruzicka got -- unless they were anally raped or formerly played pro football," writes Schlussel. "While it's a sad day when any American gets killed by Islamic terrorists, it's measurably less sad when that American aided and abetted them -- and belittled our troops."

"For Marla Ruzicka," she concludes, "some might call it poetic justice."
