MY Vast Right Wing Conspiracy

In My Own Defense

All I can say is this:

(I have to ask, why do you guys on the left have an aversion to capitalization? That really makes you look like teenagers. Maybe you are, in which case, nevermind.)

On whose map is Ben Domenech a “central figure on the right?” Maybe at Red State, but that sure isn’t all of the Right. I’m pretty sure most right-of-center bloggers don’t spend our time there; we spend most of our time in our own circles. And ask anyone who doesn’t spend all day on blogs if they even know what “Red State” is, much less Ben Domenech or “Augustine.” In fact, I do spend a huge chunk of my day reading blogs and I’ve have been to Red State some, but I had never heard of him (as Ben or Augustine) until this week.

But you people on the left just can’t let it go, can you? He’s gone from Red America, but that’s not enough, is it?

Plagiarism sucks, and unless he’s got credible evidence that he DID NOT do it, then I say good riddance, and “youthful folly” or whatever is no excuse. Not for plagiarism. Period. Should he be condemned for life for it? NO, but I don’t think he should be the voice of the right in the Washington Post, either.

But you clowns on the left are just ridiculous. You attacked him because of his father, you attacked him because he was homeschooled. WTF does that have to do with anything? Oh, wait, I know the answer. He must be a “fundie” if he was homeschooled, and it’s outrageous that the “right wing” Washington Post would hire a “fundie.” Can’t allow someone with those sort of views to have words in print! And that father of his! Ben Domenech must have been involved with Jack Abramoff’s crimes! (Because every single thing Jack Abramoff did in his whole life was criminal! I’ll bet he had some illegal shi’ite going on with his mailman, too!) Hey, Ben Domenech probably was in on a coverup, if his dad knew him!

All that bullshi’ite. If you guys had acted like adults from the start and THEN found the plagiarism, nobody would be criticizing you, except maybe his close friends at Red State (there’s something to be said for loyalty even when someone screwed up).

So, when the next person gets rolled out as a replacement for Domenech at the WaPo, I fully expect to see the same hysteria, even if the person is as pure as the undriven snow. You’ll just scream and dig for something and fling feces until they fire him or her, won’t you? ‘Cause GOD FORBID the Washington Post actually does something that–wait for it–is a good business decision. (Damn capitalists!) And to those of you who say the WaPo is “conservative,” BWAHAHAHAHAA!!! I suppose when you’re coming from the far, far left, you might think so. We’ve got people on the right who would probably call the Washington Times “left-wing.” I don’t think I remember anyone ever accusing left-wing ankle-biters “objective” or the least bit cognizant of the big picture, though. Idiots.

And guess what: while you gloat about “your” victory (go right ahead), think about what most people will think about this episode–people who watch the news and read the paper and don’t read blogs. They won’t give a rat’s ass that the guy is a conservative or think it’s a “wingnut” thing; they’ll think, “bloggers = lying hacks.” So will professional journalists. That brush will tar you jackasses, as well. So have fun gloating!

I wrote that when I was 8 for a 3rd grade reading assignment. I swear! It’s true!
