INDC Digital Brownshirt Contest! With a Prize!
Posted by Bill
Long-time INDC Journal readers might know about my Salon.com bashing fetish. A while ago, before I really hit my stride with any moonbat pictorials, I enjoyed semi-regularly fisking the various idiocies and maniacal ravings of the formerly relevant leftie e-zine. Before I even had a blog, I used to spend vast amounts of time arguing for intervention in Iraq on Scott Rosenberg's blog. Why? Because I used to like Salon; in fact, I used to be a paid subscriber. And I slowly watched in disgust, as the once left-leaning, hip online magazine first slid into the abyss of frothing, virulent, barking-mad moonbattery, and then went even further, embracing a pretty good approximation of treason. Salon has featured writers that glorify terrorists, humanize and render sympathetic the "Iraqi resistance," and published reader forums that celebrated the deaths of 9-11. I haven't collected the worst of it, but type the word "Salon" in my search box over there on the right, and you'll get a pretty good idea of what I'm talking about. I despise Salon. I actually hope that Salon folds. I believe that Salon is a media organ that is not merely featuring innocuous dissent, rather, providing a supportive forum for people that are actively working against the best interests of the United States in an overt, disturbing way. But I digress ... One thing that Salon is doing to stave off the persistently drooling dogs of bankruptcy is staging a Salon Celebrity Cruise, a la the NRO Cruise. I've previously blogged about it here and here. And guess what leftist darling is their featured guest of honor?
That's right, Joe Wilson. Salon seems to have lowered his profile a bit since it was revealed that Wilson is a liar that jeopardized the interests of national security for a disturbingly virulent strain of partisanship, but he's still there, right on top of the billing. So, just for fun, if you'd like, I figure that we could help the editorial staff at that fine news magazine own up to the fact that their hero celebre is a dishonest partisan liar with no credibility. Here's what you do: Citing any number of online links and resources (just pasting a link and/or snippet or two will do) ... The NY Times' Grudging Admission James Taranto's Wilson-Plame Round-Up The Daily Howler's Deconstruction Clifford May's Semi-staid Ha-Ha Dance
Joe Conason, Political Columnist Joan Walsh, Managing Editor David Talbot, Editor/Founder/Chief Executive Officer Andrew O'Hheir, Salon contributing writer
A simple, short, POLITE, non-profane sentence and a link will do. We've raised $4600 for the Eggers family and helped raise nearly $40,000 for Spirit of America; I don't see why we can't take a few minutes to don our "digital brownshirts" and helpfully shed some light on our friends over on the far left coast. Now here's the contest aspect: whoever starts a dialogue with Salon and gets the best give-and-take (with the greatest number of exchanged e-mails) wins a copy of Michael Moore Is A Big Fat Stupid White Man. In the event of a tie (a very real possibility, because they might not even respond), I will draw a winner from the entries. It might be fun to see what, if any, responses anyone gets. Take a few seconds. have some fun. Fame and fortune (or at least a featured INDC link and a really cool book) await! Forward me a copy of your e-mail. It can be brief or complex in structure - all entries are eligible to win. Don't let me - or your country - down. (Cue stirring music) Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the TRUTH; (Joe Wilson links via Instapundit, who is on a damn tear - just hit that link and keep scrolling upwards) UPDATE: Salon is actually covering for the bastahd! If you write to them, stick to the WaPo and NY Times resources. Posted by Bill at July 15, 2004 10:53 PM | TrackBack (6) CommentsThe funny thing about Salon's perception of what is happening is that the "Republican base is mobilized". Like we all got a call from Karl Rove's people on Wednesday with marching orders. That's what cracks me up about moonbats, really. Tinfoil lot, all of them. Posted by: willow at July 16, 2004 11:22 AM Yes, taht's why the e-mail that I send them will cite the NYT and WaPo. Posted by: Bill from INDC Journal at July 16, 2004 11:23 AM A thought just occured to me. If they can't believe that we actually have ideals that we believe in, and act on those ideals...

Posted by: willow at July 16, 2004 03:03 PM Come my minions ... I expect each and every one of you to enter this contest! It's a short e-mail, and it'll be fun to get their reaction/denial/etc. Posted by: Bill from INDC Journal at July 16, 2004 04:32 PM What I like about the Joe Wilson picture above, is that he's on the outside of the porthole, drowning. Posted by: fugio at July 16, 2004 06:02 PM Something tells me they won't respond. But what the heck. Posted by: McGurk at July 16, 2004 07:35 PM Still can't tell why DNC would not want you at the convention in Boston. Posted by: Drew at July 19, 2004 02:07 PM |
