Moral Relativism Gone Wild

So I was just wondering last night what Daily Kof has to say about Kim Il Jong and I stumbled on this lovely example of the Left's utter inability to differentiate between security and depravity:
So, what's this all about? Is it just an attempt to bolster the credibility of our Secretary of State who ...

spoke of the recent imprisonment of three Saudi dissidents, whose only offense was to peacefully petition for a constitutional monarchy. ''That should not be a crime in any country," she said.

... at the same time that the American Library Association reveals that law officers have requested data about the reading habits of our citizens at least 268 times since 2001?

Condi was chiding a repressive, terrorist-sponsoring regime for throwing people in jail who merely demonstrated for freedom. Kos compared it to looking at 268 library records in a country of nearly 300 million people, over a period of four years.

Q: When did the Left stop standing by people who demonstrate for freedom?
A: When George Bush started standing by people who demonstrate for freedom.

It would be laughable, but these are the people who are setting the agenda for the party that won nearly 50 percent of the vote in the last two elections.
