Just that you grow up enough to recognize that if you're going to open it that words have consequences in the marketplace of ideas.

It wasn't your cruel and ignorantly flippant remarks about the Duke lacrosse team that convinced the Edwards' campaign once and for all that you were a no-talent hack?<BR/><BR/>[AM]Bill Donohue—anti-Semite, right wing lackey whose entire job is to create non-controversies in order to derail liberal politics—has been running a scorched earth campaign to get me fired for my personal beliefs and my writings on this blog.<BR/><BR/>[VT]Honestly, I have no idea who Bill Donahue is. At this point, I'm just glad that he has served, in some small part, to derail the career of an incredibly reckless and ignorant writer who neither know nor cares about the people she is libeling.<BR/><BR/>[AM]In fact, he’s made no bones about the fact that his intent is to “silence” me, as if he—a perfect stranger—should have a right to curtail my freedom of speech. Why? Because I’m a woman? Because I’m pro-choice? Because I’m not religious? All of the above, it seems.<BR/><BR/>[VT]Yeah...I'm pro-choice, I'm not religious, and I'm ... well, I'm just not aware of what "all of the above means".....so, let's just say that I'm happy that a fraud such as yourself has been denied another forum from which to spout your vitriol, you worthless hag.<BR/><BR/>[AM]Regardless, it was creating a situation where I felt that every time I coughed, I was risking the Edwards campaign.<BR/><BR/>[VT]...or every time that you explicitly accused 3 innocent young men of rape, assault and kidnapping....did I mention that I can't possibly contain my glee?<BR/><BR/><BR/>[AM]No matter what you think about the campaign, I signed on to be a supporter and a tireless employee for them, and if I can’t do the job I was hired to do because Bill Donohue doesn’t have anything better to do with his time than harass me, then I won’t do it. I resigned my position today and they accepted.<BR/><BR/>[VT]HA....HA....HA!!!!! You are such a fraud!<BR/><BR/>[AM]There is good news. The main good news is that I don’t have a conflict of interest issue anymore that was preventing me from defending myself against these baseless accusations. So it’s on. The other good news is that the blogosphere has risen as one and protested, loudly, the influence a handful of well-financed right wing shills have on the public discourse.<BR/><BR/>[VT]Ahhhh...I guess as a non-right wing blogger, I'm not included....poor me....<BR/><BR/>[AM]Bill Donohue doesn’t speak for Catholics, he speaks for the right wing noise machine. You guys pointed this out, you made a stink, you refused to walk into the same stupid trap that is laid out for liberals and Democrats by the right wing noise machine and I think you made a difference. While loyalty played into the pushback some, the real story is that we liberals are not taking this crap any longer and we’re pushing back. And now that I’m attached to only myself again, I’m ready and eager to join in the pushing back with you. Like Lorraine say, Jesus did not say to shut your piehole.<BR/>[VT]Who is Bill Donohue? You know that you'd lose a lot of enemies if you just admitted that your unimaginably ignorant statements about the Duke lacrosse case were just that....unimaginably ignorant????<BR/><BR/>[AM]Obviously, I’m scatterbrained right now. But I’ll be raring to go soon.<BR/>[VT]You won't be scatterbrained soon? That's a big accomplishment for some one who seems to have been in that state her whole life.<BR/><BR/>[AM]In the meantime, I want to share this letter Evan got from Frances Kissling, the president of an organization I adore called Catholics for a Free Choice. She wrote a letter defending free discourse and her religion from being hijacked by the likes of Bill Donohue and other people who dress their reactionary politics up in faith’s clothing. She sent it to the NY Times, and for some reason they didn’t run it.<BR/>[VT]Still don't know who Bill Donohue is, still don't care about your justification of what you said about Catholics.....still don't care about Catholics for that matter....still think you're a fraud...<BR/><BR/>[AM]It’s come to my attention that Donohue’s attempts to separate the Edwards campaign from their employees that were chosen for our skills and talents may in fact be in violation of the tax laws.<BR/>Another thing—this has doubled my committment to reaching out and helping highlight when the religious left fights the right wingers who have falsely claimed to speak for all religious people.<BR/>[VT]Still don't care about your problems with the Catholics. I'm just glad that you've been discredited by your own pathetic constituency, you pathetic fraud.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-9634053387406067192007-02-13T01:24:00.000-05:002007-02-13T01:24:00.000-05:00I am struggling for a way to express my true feeli...I am struggling for a way to express my true feelings in the absence of a those little laughing-head emoticons that are so popular in instant message and chat programs.<BR/><BR/>What a fraud!

Salmen is clearly operating with blinders on as are many of the silent board members. Broadhead's presidency is severely compromised. At the American Council on Education's annual meeting in DC this weekend, the buzz about Duke was the lack of leadership from the presidency. A president may not be able to control the faculty, but he/she has to defend the university's students until the evidence proves otherwise. The Chronicle of Higher Education has the Duke lacrosse case vs. the Guilford football case compared on the front cover of this week's issue. Guilford's president has handled it differently and the case has a lower profile despite potentially more serious issues (like the physical beating of students of another race).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
