As much as I would in general support the idea that Antonia should not have to apologize that decision may truly be out of her hands.<br /><br />ps - Just a reminder that Malkin once stalked a 12-year old boy and his family. Remember Graeme Frost?<br /><br />pps - Anyone else (JJ, The Beav, ACR, Chet, Dawg, Dammit Janet, Montreal Simon etc..) going to post about this other than CC?

We know this. These people apologise for torture, prisoner abuse, illegal invasions, engage in eliminationist rhetoric all the time and periodically burst forth with direct calls for mass murder and genocide.<br /><br />This is just a bad faith attack and Stephen Taylor knows it. He also realised before everyone else that Twitter would be the perfect medium for wingnut swarming and wilding.<br /><br />Just to add: let's all remember Michelle Malkin's direct influence in the suicide of Denice Denton a while back. Seriously, this woman has a body count.Ti-Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06620550471437012866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708375.post-4670616734837619352009-04-29T10:10:00.000-04:002009-04-29T10:10:00.000-04:00Hmm... and the number of liberals who've shot up a...Hmm... and the number of liberals who've shot up a church and cited Antonia's columns as their inspiration is...?<br /><br />I agree that eliminationist rhetoric, even in humour, isn't helpful (since humour seems to be beyond the cognitive capabilities of the wingnut mind), but I think the wingnuts seriously need to STFU on this one.JJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09458917081261136618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708375.post-66252284065911113962009-04-29T09:54:00.000-04:002009-04-29T09:54:00.000-04:00I was just going to post something along the lines...I was just going to post something along the lines of what Ti-Guy said -- Antonia should apologize, with two conditions:<br /><br />* Don't do it just yet -- give it a few days to let the Canadian wankersphere get suitably cranked up over this and take snaps of everyone who clutched their pearls so mightily, then<br /><br />* Apologize and accompany that with a *very* public challenge to Stephen Taylor to start policing the civility of his <I>own</I> flying Blogging Tory monkeys, with links to specific examples, starting with "Neo Conservative," whose entire life philosophy seems to be that the only good nigger is a dead nigger. And second on that list would be Kate McMillan.<br /><br />If Taylor really wants to make an issue of this, then someone should hold him up front and centre as one of the major culprits in terms of bloggy incivility in Canada.<br /><br />If Taylor wants to take potshots, he should be prepared for some heavy return fire, don't you think?<br /><br />We're not done here.CChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11406057201126015750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708375.post-82267006801456366492009-04-29T09:44:00.000-04:002009-04-29T09:44:00.000-04:00Antonia should apologize and we should leave the e...<I>Antonia should apologize and we should leave the eliminationist rhetoric to the right whingers...</I>That doesn't impress the whingers, who see apologies and other manifestations of decency as a sign of weakness.<br /><br />But if she does, I hope she then goes after the little bastards like Stephen Taylor and Jonathan Kay for using their pulpits to marshall wingnut fauxtrage and subject their adversaries (especially the women) to ritual shaming and trumped up humiliation entirely out of proportion to the issue at hand.Ti-Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06620550471437012866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708375.post-72412040739987746872009-04-29T09:05:00.000-04:002009-04-29T09:05:00.000-04:00Antonia should apologize and we should leave the e...Antonia should apologize and we should leave the eliminationist rhetoric to the right whingers; who never apologize for it even when it leads to liberals actually being murdered.Robert McClellandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11441059623685149683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708375.post-27839853076573520442009-04-29T08:50:00.000-04:002009-04-29T08:50:00.000-04:00yeah, they will piss and moan, but i don't see Ant...yeah, they will piss and moan, but i don't see Antonia apologizingRev.Paperboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14561796588927776371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708375.post-8191293622264713582009-04-29T08:41:00.000-04:002009-04-29T08:41:00.000-04:00The wingnuts are going to kick up such a fauxtrage...The wingnuts are going to kick up such a fauxtrage that Zerbisias probably will have to apologise.Ti-Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06620550471437012866noreply@blogger.com
