X-Post: Dishonest Donald Douglas: Fascist First Amendment Fail

Three stories, common theme:

American Power: Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day

"MY free speech rights are sacrosanct. YOUR free speech rights are fascist*."
(*Donald Douglas epithet / misused word of the week, apparently.)
((Also, dig the side order of "Might Money makes right."))

Palin: Calling For Chick-Fil-A Boycott "Has A Chilling Effect On Our First Amendment Rights" | Video | Media Matters for America



"MY free speech is sacrosanct. YOUR free speech chills free speech."
(And by the way, how DARE you use your free speech to expose mine for the bigoted tripe that it is.)

May I present "conservative, heterosexual, white male" John Rocker:

"Over recent years, it seems the term “free speech” has become more of an oxymoron than an absolute in our society. Technically, as our Founding Fathers intended, we are all given the undeniable right to voice our thoughts and opinions freely without fear of scorn and/or ridicule derived from non-agreement. I supposedly have the same right to express myself as you do. In a perfect world, my rights should be no different from yours. I’m quite certain that given the current stage of the world’s social climate, however, anyone ascribing to the ridiculous notion that our world is perfect is kidding himself. Our “perfect” world was replaced many moons ago by the defective reality in which we are all forced to reside – and one of the most blatant areas to view the erosion of perfection is seen in the lack of ability many in this great country have to speak freely without fear of chastisement."

"MY free speech is socra.. sicru... ... the gooddest. YOUR free speech hurts my conservative, heterosexual, white male feelings."

An American Nihilist X-post

James O'Keefe, and the Sinking of The Lubesitania: It never happened.

A reply (revised and extended) to: Are Breitbart bloggers forbidden from writing about the O'Keefe "prank"? - Media Matters for America, and this comment by Andy Kreiss (1 hour and 1 minute ago, as of this writing) in particular:

"One exception was The Blaze, another poster tipped me off that it was being discussed there. A good number of the wingnuts there were very suspicious that the incident had even happened ( they don't consider CNN a reliable source), even as it was reported on Glenn Beck's site, including responses about the incident from O'Keefe himself."

The same thing is happening among the commenters at HotAir, at least at Allahpundit's recent post "CNN accuses James O’Keefe of bizarre prank"... This may be the meme folks on the right go with... ...it just plain never happened.

If any of this was even planned at all, it was all that guy Ben Wetmore's fault, and James DildO'Keefe had nothing to do with it. (that seems to be the line DidO'Keefe is runnin' with; Ben wrote it, and JimmYo rejected the idea, outright. -- which is no kinda way for a bro to stick up for a bro, if ya ask me...) The fact is, there were no sex toys or mood music on the boat James and his low cut shirt were waiting on that day (dubbed "The Lubesitania" at tbogg's place), and you just go ahead and prove there was... You just prove it. I dares ya... I double-dares ya...

AND... even if it was actually planned, and James actually was involved in it, the thing on The Lubesitania never actually took place. Therefore, no harm, no foul, right?

At least until somethin' better comes along, that seems to be the meme folks on the right are going with...

Also, via a commenter at an earlier TBogg post on the subject, this has to be DildO'Keefe's joint:



(John C. Reilly even looks a little like disgraced conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart in this vid, if ya ask me...)
