A year ago today, left-wing blogger and Democratic strategist Markos Moulitsos Zuniga of the Daily Kos cheered the brutal murders of four American civilian contractors in Fallujah–all of them war veterans with distinguished records, three of them fathers–with the following infamous words:

“Screw them.”

(Scroll down in the comments section. It’s there.)

Initially, Democrat advertisers condemned Kos’s atrocious statements and withdrew their ads. But as Dean Barnett reported a few weeks ago in a Weekly Standard piece, Kos is now stronger than ever–and awash in daily traffic and ad revenue from the hate-America Left.

April Fools’ Day lesson: Bashing murdered veterans pays. No joke.
