INDC Journal - This is Madness By Bill Leftie blogs are now publishing insane speculation (via some random web site) about a married White House staffer being gay - based on an anonymous rumor that he's visited gay bars - and wondering aloud about ties to Gannon. indcjournal.com Stunning. No proof. No reliable sources. Salacious details about private lives. Grossly irresponsible rumor-mongering based on third party anonymous sources published on a random web site. And by the standard they use, even assuming reliability of a completely unidentified source from a shady web site - just unattributed words on a page - I'd be gay, as would the many, many straight guys I know that have set foot inside a gay club/bar at various points in their lifetime with girls that "love the music." Every bad stereotype about "the irresponsible internet" has been adopted by the leftie blogs in the homosexual witchhunt aspect of this story. I'm more than a bit disgusted and alarmed, and someone needs to get sued. Pronto. And responsible leftie bloggers need to denounce this behavior.

I knew Robert Jensen sounded familiar: Message 20853398 To: LindyBill who wrote (90380) 12/13/2004 3:16:29 PM From: KLP of 90476 Re: ROBERT JENSEN and Sullivans Sontag Award II==Turns out JENSEN is a professor of journalism at the UofTexas!!! NO WONDER that our media is so filled with left wing tripe!!! Too bad he won't go and live in France, or better yet, the Middle East. ROBERT JENSEN is an associate professor of journalism at the University of Texas at Austin, a member of the Nowar Collective, and author of the book Writing Dissent: Taking Radical Ideas from the Margins to the Mainstream? and the pamphlet "Citizens of the Empire." rJENSEN@uts.cc.utexas.edu Influential position Source: Star-Telegram Professor ROBERT JENSEN's Wednesday commentary, "A defeat for an empire," was reminiscent of a Jim Wright piece several months back. (See May 2 Wright commentary, "A spoonful of humility, anyone?") The "empire building" theme apparently is still current among liberals. I'd give the good professor's opinion scant attention were it not for the frightening fact that he's in a unique position to influence young minds.

SONTAG AWARD NOMINEE II: "The United States has lost the war in Iraq, and that's a good thing. I don't mean that the loss of American and Iraqi lives is to be celebrated. The death and destruction are numbingly tragic, and the suffering in Iraq is hard for most of us in the United States to comprehend. The tragedy is compounded because these deaths haven't protected Americans or brought freedom to Iraqis. They have come in the quest to extend the American empire in this "new American century." So, as a U.S. citizen, I welcome the U.S. defeat for a simple reason: It isn't the defeat of the United States -- its people or their ideals -- but of that empire. And it's essential that the American empire be defeated and dismantled." - ROBERT JENSEN, Dallas Star-Telegram.
