Where is the Outrage Over Right-Wing Blogger Calling for Murder of Five Supreme Court Justices?

Glenn Greenwald brings us the tale of a right-wing blogger who has publicly advocated the cold-blooded murder of the five Supreme Court justices who ruled against the Bushies in the celebrated Hamdan case that relates to Guantanamo Bay (Gitmo), detainees, and these foolish military tribunals (that make kangaroo courts seem terribly fair).

Maybe this should be no surprise considering the far right has spent weeks now advocating the execution of The New York Times for printing already public information on bank spying by the Bushies, or that Senator John Cornyn and former Rep. Tom DeLay both called - not so indirectly - for violence against judges whose decisions they didn't like.

But it's a sad state of affairs. And one would think that at least one sane voice on the right would come out against such a posting. Silence except for people backing up this crazed blogger's demand for murder.
