i'm appalled

I have been ducking around in the tubes to see what people are saying about Julian Assange and I am appalled. Some paragon of groupthink is pissed because Assange reminding us that Taliban are also Afghans will supposedly give rightwing warmongers something to bludgeon us lefty peaceniks with. Excuse me, Agonistas, but yer fucking Democratic-Fascists are every bit as warmongering as yer Republican-Fascists, and I personally appreciate the man using the attention he's getting to remind the public of certain fundamentals we seem to have completely forgotten.

People are accusing Assange of being an "attention whore". Mother fuck. You get out there and do that and see what it's like. People seemed to lap up Sibel Edmonds' intermittent attention-gathering blitzes, which drove me crazy, because she NEVER came out with anything to add to the nothing we got from her to begin with, but the woman had to be plenty scared that the public forgetting her would make her disposable. And how much the MORE so does this have to be for Julian Assange, who IS splatting it all out there at every opportunity?

I know, I know, some of you are suspicious of his motives, or of the fact that he's still walking around, or whatever it is you are skeptical about, but just SUPPOSE for a moment that everything you've been hearing about Wikileaks' mission is TRUE, and Assange is their frontman. I find myself afraid to mention in pixels the people I know are supporting him in case it gets some really great journalists in trouble. I believe it. I believe it because I've been watching it play out, and I've been noting all these people I respect giving him support, and I know goddam well anyone working that hard to wreck the lethal secrecy of criminal governments is heavily in danger of being assassinated. The only protection he has is popularity with the public. AND HE DESERVES IT.

Fuck you.

No. Really. Fuck you.

You scumbucket groupthink bloggers are empowering the bad guys with your petty bitching.

I hope each of you chokes on a pretzel.
