I don’t mind an Internet debate over a substantive topic. I will print whatever I want here and, if you want to post a response, go for it. I also don’t mind challenging myself to see the viewpoint of the other side. I readily go to conservative sites and read their articles. And, if they post a video or article in support, I’ll read it…objectively.
In the course of so doing I somehow got myself on RedState.com’s mailing list. If you aren’t familiar with RedState (you probably can guess their mindset from their name but let me make sure), they are one of the more vitriolic of conservative blogs. Vitriolic but — like the broken clock — every once in a while they make a substantive point.
Today is not one of those days.
I just received a rabid email from the site asking me to personally call and write to the Washington Post to chastise them for their “fabricated” story about McCain agreeing to meet with Hamas (just like Barack Obama evidently did causing Bush to openly mock him in front of a foreign government). Wow, I thought, if this is true people need to know about it. If, indeed, McCain didn’t say he would meet with Hamas — as the entire Internet has reported — I’d like to know that.
So I go to the site and “watch the video” as they implore me to do and what do I get?
A video of McCain saying he would meet with Hamas.
Hmmm. That’s weird, what did I miss? So I read the RedState email again and I read the post again and — oh now I see it — this isn’t a “McCain didn’t say that” argument, this is one of those nuanced “McCain said he would do that only upon the meeting of certain conditions” argument.
Now these aren’t usually the hooks upon which the rabid hang their beanies of outrage but, what the hell, let me watch it again. Yes, let me, liberal blogging fuck, give you, rabid conservative site of much outrage but historically little substance, give you the benefit of doubt. Let me waste MORE time and watch it again.
Nope. Nothing.
You know what? Why quibble with the details. Here’s the motherfucking video for you to watch after which I will get to my point:
Now that we got that all cleared up let’s get to the point. After getting the email, watching the video, re-reading the email, and watching it again do you think “RedState” will let me post a comment? Of course not. Only the select few get to comment. Only those whom they have deemed worthy. Only those who won’t talk back, won’t act up, won’t call them on their bullshit get to comment.
The only real surprise is why am I> surprised.
Why am I surprised that a website that’s gotten fat sucking the teat of President Propaganda’s lies won’t tolerate dissent. They wouldn’t have it any other way! Blocking the non-believers is the only sensible course when you’ve got an Internets’ full of fact-checkers cock-blocking your fake outrage. And, hey, it’s not like there’s not precedent. If all them little kids learned about blowjobs from President Clinton, then certainly we impressionable little pussies can pull a card from Bush, Limbaugh and Coulter and isolate ourselves right?
So they sit in their dark little hovels, flail about for topics of indignation, incite an Army of asses willing to believe their tripe, and spend their days picking the imagined splinters from our eyes while ignoring the trees in theirs.
So. Redstate and all its backers. Try — if you can — to defend your lame little site.
You won’t. You can’t. You’re pussies.
Fuck off.
