it's so cruel what Mitt Romney did to that dog

Charles Davis in The New Inquiry has a modest proposal for the anti-drone left.
We should be extremely wary of claims to innocence by any “victim” of the Obama administration. We know Republicans will stop at nothing to undermine his presidency, so when confronted with hundreds of children burned to death by Hellfire missiles under his watch, one must ask, Who does it benefit? If their charred remains will be used to undermine the left’s enthusiasm for the president, depressing voter turnout — a classic tactic of Karl Rove — can they really be said to be innocent at all?

This post was deleted for the following reason: We've got a pretty active and contentious drone post going and we'd like to corral political stuff into fewer threads if possible. Feel free to post this there. -- restless_nomad

If it was satire I must have missed it.
Did you not read to the end? Do you think a little girl's last words after being killed in a drone strike were "It's so cruel what Mitt Romney did to that dog"?
