According to a recent Wall Street Journal hit piece on conservative bloggers (and the rest of the blogosphere’s “fools and imbeciles”),

… right-leaning blogs exhaustively pursue second-order distractions–John Kerry always providing useful material–while leaving underexamined more fundamental issues, say, Iraq.

While this diatribe is clearly nothing more than a WSJ peon’s misguided attempt to catapult himself into Internet infamy (and MSM stardom), I’d like to remind him of the following “distractions” covered by Red Alerts recently:

• Hezbollah’s terrorist activities in Venezuela

• YouTube’s support of jihadism and child exploitation

• The modern American slave trade

• Growing anti-Semitic sentiment in the U.S.

• Urban war in the Parisian suburbs

• Ted Kennedy’s betrayal of two U.S. presidents to the KGB

• The Iranian threat

• The North Korean threat

and of course, the following distraction from “more fundamental issues, say, Iraq,”

• Why we haven’t won in Iraq
