Of course the fact that you're not posting has nothing to do with the fact that
"conservative" positions are indefensible, so you stopped wasting your time
defending them. How do you defend a president who bankrupted your country and
made a mockery of it to the world? Let me guess. It's all liberal
propaganda, a plot, a conspiracy to malign rednecks.

98% right wing bull shit? Is that what the Titan Rain hackers are? David Corn
of The Nation, several writers from CounterPunch, feminist lesbian former L.A.
chapter head of N.O.W. Tammy Bruce, Mother Jones, Kurt Anderson, Michael
Lerner, August Wilson? That's absurd. It is this kind of lockstep hegemony
that caused me to stop posting and start lurking. Just watch Eric suggest that
the problem with Republicans is bigger than Bush and he is crashed down upon.
If you are not doctrinaire in your sublime hatreds you are probably secretly
and scrumptiously fellating the President.
You may wonder if there would be moderation of mostly liberal articles but I do
not. I'm sober and I guarantee you that Andreas wouldn't have an aneurysm over
a silent poster of Plame/Rove/Conyers/Downing Street
memo/indictment/impeachment articles. This is all about content and it doesn't
matter how many times left wing articles were posted (and mostly ignored)
because so was Rush Limbaugh quoting the IRS, Daniel Pipes on Islam and the
suggestion that Europe has a modern tradition of cowardice and the liberal
dander was raised.
Pathetic.

Nevertheless, I wonder if M. A. Camp were posting mostly liberal bloggers and
webbers, would the voice of indignation rise so high? I don't know. I don't
care if M. A. Camp sends silly stuff. I have to delete 27 spams to every real
email I get. I usually peruse M. A. Camp's posting just to see if there's
anything worthy of refutation -- as though I were qualified to refute anything
but what I ate today. I hadn't considered the possibility that M. A. Camp
might be a program disseminating right wing bloggeries, in which case I'd call
it spam and God damn spam and all spammers to hell. But if it's a guy or a gal
out there actually searching out these articles for our attention, then I
support his/her right to submit them regardless of his/her willingness to
comment -- actually his/her submission of them seems comment enough.
It's 98% right wing bull shit. But maybe M. A. Camp is an intelligent liberal
(imagine such) trying to get us to stop kissing each other's ass get to know
the enemy. Ah, there's a public service. Or perhaps he's just another schlump
like me, sending out S.O.S's to the world, hoping someone will recognize his
message in the bottle as the cri de coeur of a lost soul -- and then what? Who
knows? Who cares? Don't read him -- as L. K. recommends on Theoria. [ Where
no one posts anymore. : )] I have no idea if M. A. Camp is a real person, a
program or a joke. And I find myself not caring. I do care that we start
censoring.
