Frankenstein's Monster

Update: Jeff G is even more outraged at me for implying that he was one of the dirty hordes. Sorry, my only point in quoting Jeff G below is for the deep (some would say "almost fathomless") sense of irony in the quoted section. Never did I mean to imply that he was a part of the jackanapes that scour our land searching out victims for their ritualistic sacrifice to bring forth the goat with a thousand young. On the other hand, you can read Jeff's series of posts insulting Oliver Willis and perhaps draw your own conclusions as to the irony of his protestations in the comments below.

Well, Jeff is outraged! Disgusted!

Actively, eagerly, and publically smearing a White House Press Secretary based on the word of a couple of unnamed sources and a dubious 1995 story: this is how thoroughly depraved a certain segment of the American left has become. To these rancid ideologues, tabloid gossip and gay baiting have become legitimate tools to use in their increasingly fevered attempt to dismantle the administration they so patently despise. And though they’ll rationalize every single contemptible thing they say or do—knowing that are protected by a cult of ends-justify-the-means groupthink—make no mistake: they know what they’re doing is despicable.

I have nothing but the utmost contempt for these people.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who can spot the massive amount of irony in the quote above.

And then there's the whole Eason Jordan thing. Regardless of whether the guy should be fired, skinned alive or boiled in hot oil until he's piping hot and ready to eat, I still can't find anything material or even meta-physical that the bloggers supplied. I mean, the only thing that bloggers seem to have added to the whole affair is the lynch mob atmosphere.

I mean, how many brains does it take to figure out "we need to see the tape"? The rest of it has just been various forms of calling for his head and standing in judgment.

And then there's Jim Guckert/Jeff Gannon. I don't really understand how Scott McClellan got dragged into this, but need I point out that if these up tight, bigoted wankers didn't use every opportunity to make a big deal about being gay then. . . Well, needless to say that even an idiot can see that line of reasoning and it's pretty comical to see otherwise intelligent people throw reason out the window and come to the defense of bigots exposed in their hypocrisy.

Still, it's quite the spectacle. Me thinks the right side of the blogosphere is starting to like the taste of blood. Again, I'm still a bit unclear as to how they actually how they actually have anything to really do with the scalps of those they are claiming, but the fact remains is that they really are starting to like this heady snort o' power.

Pretty soon, they'll be unstoppable.

Think how cool that will be.
