#QOTD, An Unsettling Line From @Instapundit Edition.

In reaction to Walter Russell Mead’s post about the latest round of (presumably) Muslim violence against Christians in Nigeria, Glenn Reynolds writes:

Via Jeffrey Goldberg, who is nonetheless all wet with his call to stop contributing to an Israeli firefighting emergency fund.  That comes perilously close to irony, in fact.
