As predictable as insect hatching cycles...

A bomb goes off in Baghdad - trolls erupt on conservative blogs...  The comments are familiar, and only occasionally related to whatever post happens to attract them. 

The usual stuff from Monty Python's Trolls of the Surrender Caucus: "People have to wear armor in a prime target area - run away!"  "They assassinated a politician - run away!"  "They attacked our soldiers - run away!"  "They murdered civilians with a car bomb - run away!"  "They used a word for casualties that hurts our feelings - run away!" 

Are they putting up points on some phantasmagorical political scoreboard?  "Posted a trite jibe, and used the term 'chickenhawk' on the Hugh Hewitt board - chalk up 2 for 'jessicalange.'"  Even as they put themselves on the same side as the terrorists, they imitate terrorist tactics.  It makes them pathetic rather than evil, I suppose, but only because what they do is so insignificant.  What a waste of pixels...
