The Kos Kidz are absolutely disgusting in this topic at Daily Kos, crowing over the deaths of more Blackwater contractors in Iraq: Copter shot down in Iraq; six Blackwater U.S. contractors among 11 dead.

One of the sickest, most un-American (yes, I wrote “un-American,” and I meant it) commenters echoes their leader Markos:

They aren’t “civilians” (4.00 / 8)

They are mercenaries.  They are being paid big money to take the risk of going to a war zone and getting shot at. Our soldiers are also going to a war zone and being shot at, but they aren’t getting paid anything near what these men made.  

I’m not callous about their deaths, I don’t *want* anybody to die, and certainly nobody deserves to die for wanting to make a living.  BUT I am sympathetic to the feelings Markos had at the reaction to the previous “civilian” death’s in Iraq.

In other words, “Screw them.” Where would anyone get the impression this miserable creature is “callous?”

And please note: these are Barbara Boxer’s kind of people. (Hat tip: LGF readers.)
