Another Althouse Thumping
I've read Ann Althouse's blog for a long time. When she delivers a thumping, it is direct, to the point and quite lethal. As is here take today on both The ruckus over The Path to 9/11 and especially to those left wing bloggers calling for hard core suppression of free speech.
Now, why in hell did you look at that? Don't look at that! What repulsive right-wing prurient urge made you want to look at that Limbaugh-style political porn star… Tom Brokaw.
ADDED: And everybody also wants to look at the very parts of the show that most rile its opponents.
MORE: How insanely repressive. You know, mainstream politicians really should worry about bloggers. Ironically, the bad judgment shown by bloggers here is about wishing for hardcore repression of speech, but free speech is our lifeblood!
Clearly Bill Clinton, Sandy Berger, Madeleine Albright and American Airlines have good cause to sue Disney/ABC, the BBC, Australian and New Zealand television, and any local affiliate that broadcasts the show. How can we further help their lawsuit? I think a first step is paying close attention in each country to how the show is being marketed. Get us copies of ads, promotions, etc. that show local broadcasters and others promoting the show as true and non-fiction. How else can we help their suit?
Oh, yeah, bloggers really ought to want to encourage lawsuits by public figures who think something inaccurate has been said about them. This is the worst case of myopia I've seen in my years of blogging. You guys are complete idiots.
Do read the whole thing. It is pure art.
UPDATE: Thanks to Ann Althouse for linking back to this post. It really was art.. Also, do not miss Sister Toldjah on this, well worth the read.
