Why Wolcott?


Here's why:
A Love Supreme

If Lee wants to play Sidney Falco to Breitbart's J. J. Hunsecker, lighting his cigarettes and running nightclub errands, it's his pride he has to put to bed at night. But I do draw the line at...

Let me get this straight: Lee Stranahan thinks of Andrew Breitbart as a victim of censorship?

I got nothing.

And Stranahan says it's his "chosen destiny" to befriend Breitbart.

I thought destiny chooses you, not the other way around.

I'd like to know how this clown who claims to have been inspired by comedians like Bruce, Carlin, Pryor and Hicks -- you know, ferocious tellers of uncomfortable truths -- squares his BFF's penchant for playing fast and loose with the facts in the service of smear jobs for despicable crazies? Is he saying Breitbart's Procrustean fabrications are some kind of political satire/performance art?

Despite his disclaimer, I hope for his sake that Lee is only writing this bullshit because he has to work with the guy. Otherwise, not only did this dribbling lackwit miss everything those comedians were trying to tell him, he's apparently too stupid to grasp the difference between censorship and refusing to grant a serial liar license to destroy people's lives with his lies.

May Wolcott be blessed by all the Nine Billion Names, but I wish he hadn't brought Coltrane into proximity with that filth.

What is with the ongoing conflation of being critiqued as stupid or disingenuous with having one's 1st Amendment rights trampled upon? The 1st Amendment is not at all implicated by my assertion that Andrew Breitbart is lying scum. Just another example of the erosion of political thought and discussion in this country - mental sloth wins again.

Stranahan said...

Wolcott quoted part of the piece and selectively edited out the part where I explain how Breitbart ties into the 1st Amendment. Read it or don't, but it's there...

To compare Andrew Breitbart with Lenny Bruce first boggles the mind and then just makes you spit-on-the-floor pissed off. Lenny Bruce was a champion of 1rst Admentment rights and suffered extreme persecution for his trouble. Andrew Breitbart is nothing more than a lying shill for his right wing masters. I suppose calling out a liar for liar passes for persecution these days. At least it does for the right wing.

Stranahan, you're still an idiot with the mental flexibility that would do a blade of grass proud. Breitbart is a bully, plain and simple, not a 1st Amendment hero. Is someone holding your children hostage so you'll write inane shit like this?

First Amendment does not grant anyone the right to slander others. BlightFart is going to lose his case against Sherrod.

All this blather is the Right's efforts to muddy the waters before the case goes to court. God, what sniveling whiners these rough, tough "suck on my rifle" conservatives be.
