We're sorry we're not as heinous as the righties

I've been out of the blogging loop lately when it comes to national issues and blog rumor mongering because honestly, the weather has been too nice to sit inside and stew over this crap.

So I missed most of the brouhaha over some liberal blogger tossing nasty bullshit over at Protein Wisdom. Apparently the lefties haven't been in a big enough uproar over it, according to the always outraged righties.

In his own inimitable fashion, Skippy catches me up:

the hardly-ever-right wing is all a'twitter that the rest of us haven't risen up in an uncontrolled rage over the disgusting and evil child molesting that deb's comments invoke. most of the right wing have decided that deb is indicative of the left, and since we've not condemned her en masse, we, by default, agree with her.

* sigh * where to start, where to start?

firstly, let's point out that nobody apparently bothered to look at deb's site meter. if they had, they would have discovered that deb has been a blogger for less than a year (tho granted, her dust-up w/jeff has certainly boosted her traffic).

secondly, take a look at the technorati list of who links to deb. ignore all the blogs that have linked to her in the past two days, after which she posted the disgusting jon benet ramsey metaphors on protein wisdom.

you'll see that a total of 12, that's right, an even dozen, 12 blogs had linked to deb's site south(west)paw in the past year.

our point? well, it's not like deb was very active in the circle of progressives that we visit on a daily monthly basis. it's not like deb was ever one of the deeper thinkers, or even one of the snarkier pundits on the left. in other words, deb was pretty much not anybody.

so, we are sorry if somebody we didnt' know said something we didn't know about to somebody we don't read threatening his child we didn't even know he had.

The only reason the righties are pissed about this is because its a liberal who made the comment. They defend Ann Coulter (who gets massive attention from her outrageous death wishing crap on everyone just left of Barry Goldwater) as if she's some sort of martyr--but we're supposed to get all bent over some lefty dumbass who nobody knows and nobody reads.

Uh..okay. We're sorry we don't suck as bad as you guys do.

Better?
