Discussion: St. Louis Dispatch Axes George Will's Column Over 'Offensive' Rape Piece

Discussion for article #224103

So any minute now some idiot on the right is going to scream 1st Amendment and censorship. Which will only prove, once again, they are Constitutionally clueless.

Can we fire his toupee?

George isn’t held in the same regard as say, Hannity or Limbaugh. He uses words with more than 2 syllables and stuff, so he can’t fully be trusted. So I doubt you are going to see the RWNJs coming to his rescue.

If anything, Gerson is a step DOWN from Will.

One step for rape victims; one giant leap for the 99%.

It’s good to let the rich know that they are as vulnerable as all the rest of us. I’m sure George Will is highly insulted and a bit perplexed. But he’s also just a little uncomfortable and worried, too. His world just got a little less predictable and so did it for the Koch Brothers, GOP and Wall Street.

His column can be pulled, too. Once a step is taken others are not that hard to make.

All conservative columnists basically swim at the bottom of the same barrel of stench, filth, willful ignorance, bigotry, and hyper-religious zealotry. They just look and sound different and use different words, but they are basically all the same; repugnant. There are no real “steps” at the bottom of that barrel.

“He’ll be replaced at the St. Louis Post-Dispatch by another conservative Washington Post columnist, Michael Gerson.”

Would it have killed them to actually lower the op-ed page’s asshole quotient?

It’s way past time for George Will to make like Pat Buchanan and disappear from the air waves, permanently.

I was going to say Gerson’s no prize.
That being said, I wish the Washington Post would drop him.

You can only shake your head when people like this make comments that only show how so out of touch they are with the mainstream.

“Not exactly a trade-up” was the phrase I was logging in to use . . .

Replacing Will with Gerson says nothing good about the editorial discernment of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

It’s about time Will’s pompous ways and self-righteous opinions were deemed “bad for business.”

Time for Will to move to the Home for Right Wing Bloviators.

George Will carries himself as an intelligent and thoughtful person. He is neither of those things. I have no idea why anyone thinks anything he has to say is worth listening to.

The taxonomic classification of political pundits as nuisance animals is overdue for a downgrade.
