In theory I think doxxing a person to cause him or her physical harm isn’t quite the thing. Not done in the best families, old boy. But maybe we can think of this in Bush Doctrine terms, as a kind of pre-emptive or preventive doxxing. The SOB was calling for “peaceful ethnic cleansing” and I’m like ORLY I DON’T THINK SO. Now I know most of these wieners are pansies who don’t have the wherewithal to steal a pack of gum. But they’re detestable, evil creatures all the same.

So yeah it was wrong.

But I don’t like neo-Nazis much, if you must know.

The Daily Caller reported that national editor Michael Hirsh had resigned after publishing a Facebook post Tuesday that read “Stop whining about Richard B. Spencer, Nazi, and exercise your rights as decent Americans."

So they are good with backing Spencer, right?

You know, those same Politico standards that allow us to attend an “off the record” meeting with President-elect Chump…

to be dressed down for being insufficiently deferential.

Forth Estate? Fifth Column? They both have numbers, and like Chump we aren’t too interested in the details here at “Tiger Beat on the Potomac.”

Proving once again the old adage that “Two wrongs don’t make a right.” I can easily understand the instinct to attack Spencer, who is apparently a deplorable person, but urging violence or harassment is a tactic we would expect from his side. We have to be better than that. As disgusted as I am by those who think Hitler had a lot of good ideas, there are more moral ways to shame/ridicule those who follow his philosophy. I have always held it’s better to laugh at these clowns than to adopt their hatred and anger as a defense.

And again, as civil human beings, we do what is right. Do you think that an editor at Breitbart would resign after doxxing one of Donald’s sexual assault victims? Hell, no, he’d be right there on her doorstep with an arrow “Trump this bitch.”

Sorry, haven’t gotten to that first glass of wine yet. I get rather grumbly until I do.

When I read your post and got to the “peaceful ethnic cleansing” part, my eyebrows shot up and my jaw dropped to the point where I thought my face was going to come apart like I was a host.

Fuck that bastard. I don’t care what anyone does to him.

I was shopping last night and a friend left a message on my home phone, kind of freaked out about this guy. From his tone it was like he couldn’t believe what he was seeing and hearing. I guess every decent person feels that way. I’m reminded of the famous Orwell phrase, “a kind of playing with fire by people who don’t even know that fire is hot.” I don’t advocate mistreatment of Spencer, but if he looks for trouble and gets it, well, these things happen.

Off the record with the NYT and TV folk and I hear it was a “frank and open” discussion meaning I guess, much shouting and name calling followed by considerable whining on chump’s part just to make everyone there feel bad cuz his fee fee wuz hurted.
I hope somebody told trump to put his big boy pants on.

and @mattinpa I don’t like neo-nazis either …it brings to mind the Blues Brothers and their reaction to Illinois Nazis. But in this case publicizing those addresses was the wrong thing to do.

Never thought I’d write this, but, could we be headed for Civil War 2.0? Really, this white nationalist crap is beyond belief. If these assholes really want to bring it on, I say liberals and progressives should not be shy about standing up to them. We simply cannot stand by and let these Neanderthals drag us back into the 1880s. This might be a call to arms to protect our Constitution and our fellow citizens. The deeper irony is that it might turn out to be a conservative, NRA-loving douche like Trump who wants to take away liberals’ guns.

We could be because I don’t see a solution. They are not going to be influenced by us to change and we aren’t going to change. I don’t know where we meet anymore at all. I can’t live with Neo Nazis, I know that. So either something drastic happens or we really may be.
