Well, this is a shame
I have seen the blog wars ongoing between Charles Johnson over at LGF and too many top conservative blogs who seem to be backing one Robert Stacy McCain. I am a centrist conservative who tries to be tolerant of differing views. But I have to say I must make a stand here between two camps. One camp promises hope for the conservative movement, the other is a cancer leading to its inevitable death.
After saying he disagrees with Excitable Chucky on many issues (hey, AJ, try disagreeing with him in his comments, or down dinging one of his comments, let’s see how quickly you find out just how intolerant and nuts CJ actually is. Or, heck, try disagreeing with him on your own blog, or in comments at another site. Yes, he does search, follow, and destroy)
But when I look at what The Other McCain has written over time, I find myself repulsed well beyond my moral limits of tolerance. Anyone who thinks “race†verses “human beings†is off track. Way off track. And anyone who defends slavery is plain insane. LGF noted a detailed analysis of McCain blathering which has pushed me to the point I must make a public stand. Some disturbing excerpts of the thinking of a sick mind:
Except, there are a few major issues with this whole line of reasoning, namely, that talking and writing honestly about the history of racism doesn’t make one racist, and the rest of the stuff is taken completely out of context, is “someone’s mothers great aunts nephews cousin heard,” and fabricated. Documented time and time again. Are we no longer allowed to even discuss it? Does discussing racism and slavery make us racists?
I’m sorry to see you go down this road, AJ. I’ve read your stuff for a long time, had you on my feedreader, linked a few times in my Sunday Patriotic Pinup posts, as well as other posts. But, you’ve made your choice to align yourself with a far left progressive who is still somewhat involved with nice anti-Jihadism, but, is intollerant of anything and everything that doesn’t fit his narrow world view. Religious folks, Republicans, Conservatives, people who are tough on Jihadis, people who do not drink the AGW kool aid, you name it. There might me a reason why so many Conservatives have either moved him to their left side blog links, or dumped him altogether, and are constantly treating him the way we treat Kos, The DU, the Huff Post, etc.
Say, AJ, what do you think of Kilgore Trout, a moderator at Little Green Footballs, dropping tons of racist and disgusting comments at Hot Air, then cackling about it?
