I Smear, it’s OK. You Smear, Conspiracy!

Writer and intellectual dim-bulb Stephan R Dujack is upset that he won’t get his chance to smear Alito. Why you ask? He says that Drudge smeared him first.
IN 21ST CENTURY Washington, fame doesn’t last for 15 minutes anymore. It lasts for a single news cycle. There is the big press release. The next morning the major newspapers spell your name right. But by noon the Drudge Report runs a shotgun blast of half-truths and innuendoes, and by evening pundits are sifting through your entrails on CNN and Fox. Can citizen participation in government survive the advent of the Internet search engine?
Funny how when the left attacks you, they are being a patriot. When a leftie is outed for his bizarre views of the world, it’s “smear”. Get a grip. You were treated better than Alito, and most definitely Bork.
The best part is that he seems to imply that all those ‘freedom loving hippie types’ who engineer Google are the problem. *lol* So much for “information must be free!”
In the era of the search engine, no good (or bad) deed goes unpunished.
A lesson for the Dems? Maybe the socialization of information is not so great after all? Then again maybe he is just a cry-baby because his behavior was far worse than Alitos and he was caught?
So what did he say that was so bad? Well he actually agreed with the Dems and used their favorite insult, “Nazi”.
My grandfather, a principled vegetarian, famously wrote: “In relation to [animals], all people are Nazis. For [them], it is an eternal Treblinka.” Three years ago, PETA built a campaign around that quote, but critics charged that the words were not really Isaac’s, only those of one of his characters. My Op-Ed article affirmed that from my personal knowledge Isaac felt that way — that the cattle-car reality of factory farming compared to the Holocaust. And I agreed with him.
So meat eaters are what, unprincipled? Oh wait, they are Nazis. Of course! Maybe the Dems have decided (woke up from the bong induced hysteria) that vitriolic bomb-throwing is not the best way to go anymore? Maybe.
As it turned out, hundreds of decent, honorable Holocaust victims and their families were deeply disturbed by the original essay, and I have apologized publicly for it — an apology I reiterate here. Sometimes using an extreme example to make a point is a bad idea. Sometimes a quote really doesn’t belong in a new context. Too bad my latest attackers don’t get it.
An apology is never good enough for Dems/libs unless they are making it.
BTW, are there dishonorable Holocaust survivors? Or is that label reserved for Americans who rescued them?
I find it funny that he thinks that “Sometimes using an extreme example to make a point is a bad idea. ”. No, it is rarely a good idea.
