UPDATE: It's unfortunate that hate based blogs (e.g. Little Green Footballs) are using this loss to justify their political beliefs.

It's much more difficult to advocate for something you believe in where it reaches people who can't be reached by the internet, and where you are in actual danger of getting hurt or losing your life.
Whereas you, LGF, are a group of cowards, Ruzicka and many other people (Doctors without Borders, the Red Cross, all of the military forces from around the globe who are assisting in the rebuilding, et al) are brave. Whereas you are a destroyer, all of those people are builders. Whereas you disgusting hatemongers, they are worthy of our admiration.
I'm not about to link to the post, because I don't care to give them the satisfaction they would certainly get from seeing they upset someone with their attack.
