Just how much of an idiot do you need to have made of yourself to merit a dressing down from one of the Sadly’s favorite whipping boys,
Warner Todd Huston?
Up until now, that’s been a rhetorical question, mostly because no one thought that level of idiocy was even possible - it’s a mythical quantity of idiocy, something like absolute zero Kelvin. We just all pretty much assumed that, although we could theorize about what such idiocy might look like, we’d never actually see it.
Alas, we have once again misunderestimated
David Horowitz.
If you haven’t heard by now, the rightwing blogosphere is
all in a tizzy over the fact that some of the questions in the last Republican Youtube debate have come from supporters of various Democratic candidates. The shrieks of rage have been growing ever louder, until, as is usual in these particular situations, it becomes a self-feeding cycle of hate, a ragegasm that only culminates when the circling jackals have found just the target to latch on to. Last time around, it was twelve year old Graeme Frost. This time, it appears as though the preferred game was setting up to be the gay General, Keith Kerr, who had the temerity to ask tough questions about the Republican party and Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell (Incidentally, did you ever notice how their preferred targets always seem to be the more vulnerable members of society? You know, people like little kids and hated sexual minorities. Can’t help but wonder if that has anything to do with why their ilk is always fighting the enemy over here, instead of over there - vulnerable domestic “enemies” don’t shoot back the way real live enemy forces do).
Horowitz received an unsolicited email claiming that Kerr was “not a real General”, and apparently proceeded to publish it on his website without even the most rudimentary fact-checking on it. This was all it took for the carrion beetles of the internet, the Freepers, to spring into action, trying to track down Kerr’s home phone number, address - anything at all they could find to try to do to this serviceman what they did to Graeme Frost the last time around (remember, the personal information on Frost was dug up in the first place by a Freeper goon).<more at link>
"the carrion beetles of the internet"!!! :rofl:
