Treason?
There are strongly opposing views and opinions on the “cap and trade” bill. Supporters claim that dissenters are committing “treason,” while dissenters are calling supporters “traitors.”
Cafe Hayek links to two responses to liberal author Paul Krugman’s charge that dissenting opinions regarding the bill are tantamount to “treason against the planet.”
LGF conveniently ignores the wild statements of Krugman and, instead, Charles Johnson cites a blog entry that criticizes other anonymous bloggers who call supporters of the bill “cap and traitors.” Johnson and the author of the post to which he links must think that a few dissenters are more troublesome and warrant more attention than Nobel Laureate Paul Krugman.
Meanwhile, in the real world, influential writers, e.g. Nobel Laureate Krugman, are calling dissenters traitors and big blogs, e.g. LFG, are ignoring this abuse of influence.
Charles must think that when Republicans and Conservatives try to whip their own into line, that’s bad.
Ironically, watching how he handles differences of opinion and then criticizing others for demanding a bit of cohesion is hilarious.
Oh, and I would just love to see some of his sycophants wander out of his protection and try to debate on a neutral field, using the same nics they use there, without the protection of running to him and his spies for protection whenever things get dicey.
But, after reading how some of his inner circle really behave and think, debating them away from LGF would be like debating a block of salt.

Charles is an assclown.
