Excerpt:
Consistency is considered a virtue in most cases. But when it comes to jumping to conclusions and accusing the right of being responsible for the actions of mentally unbalanced people who become violent and commit hate crimes, or seem inspired by the far right fringe, the Left has demonstrated an ideological uniformity that turns virtue into embarrassing idiocy.
Call it "premature evisceration," as the Left on several occasions has risen up in its self-righteous might to smite the right for its perceived "hate speech," only to tiptoe away later with egg on its face when it was discovered that things were not quite as they seemed at first blush.
The most recent example of the Left's premature evisceration occurred last week with the stabbing of Ahmed Sharif, a Muslim cab driver by Michael Enright — a 21 year old film student, recently returned from Afghanistan where he was embedded with the Marines to shoot a documentary on the war. Enright, an admitted alcoholic and AA member, got into Sharif's cab and, after some pleasant conversation according to the cabbie, blurted out the question, "Are you a Muslim?" He then stabbed Sharif nearly killing him, and made his getaway. He was captured within minutes, accusing Mr. Sharif of trying to rob him.
