Here<\/a> is an extreme example of the leftist's reflexive love of underdogs qua underdogs.  A Muslim terrorist stabs an Israeli in the neck. The Israeli pulls the knife out of his neck and stabs the terrorist to death with it.  Now anyone who is morally sane will cheer the Israeli for his effective and morally legitimate self-defense.  But a left-wing group took the side of the Muslim terrorist!  How typical.<\/span><\/p>\n

Peace Now is a leftist anti-Israel group funded by the EU, George Soros and the usual international gang of creeps and cretins. Its opposition to self-defense against Islamic terrorism is so extreme that it even condemns a stabbing victim for fighting back against his killer.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

If Donald Trump is a sort of neo-Calliclean who celebrates the winner qua winner, regardless of how he came to be a winner, the typical leftist is the neo-Calliclean's opposite number who celebrates the loser qua loser, regardless of how he came to be a loser.<\/span><\/p>\n
