A twisted kind of pleasure

A classic example of the kind of thing I wrote about yesterday, quoting C.S. Lewis on the dehumanization of our enemies:

As news reports surface that Governor Mark Sanford, a Republican from South Carolina who supposedly was a potential candidate for President in 2012, has been guilty of an adulterous affair, one high-school classmate writes on his facebook page:

"Another GOP candidate bites the dust!! 2012 is almost shaping up to be too easy!"

There is something very sad about rejoicing in the heartache and sorrow that a family is experiencing, simply because it advances your own political interests.

I think C.S. Lewis was right; this has to be a symptom of living in a world of pure hatred.
