Sanjay Sanghoee, in a piece that ran this evening on The
Huffington Post, goes on a vicious and accusatory rant in an effort to expose
the reprehensible right-wing entertainers who make money for their own vicious
and accusatory rants. Perhaps you already see the irony, but there’s more.
There’s always more.
In between insinuations of a possible homosexual relationship
between Ted Nugent and Rush Limbaugh and cheap digs at Nugent’s music, Sanghoee
rambles on about Rush Limbaugh’s recent comments concerning Sandra Fluke – you
remember, the comments Rush apologized for making – and asserts that the
Founding Fathers would turn in their graves at the thought of capitalists who
have the audacity to behave as…capitalists.
After beating the dead horse that is the Rush Limbaugh/Sandra
Fluke exchange for awhile, he goes on to blather about Ted Nugent’s alleged
threats at the recent NRA events. Only he forgot to mention that the “threats”
were not actually any such thing. He claims that in a nation where free speech
(for the time being) reigns supreme, speech that he finds to be offensive
should be considered a crime.
[Um, Sanjay, “freedom of speech” is not part of the Bill of
Rights to protect individuals who want to lay prostrate at the feet of our
leader, praising him with every breath. Free speech is only necessary to
protect those who have something to say that others might find offensive.]
But what amused me most about this particular piece was the fact
that Sanghoee could not let go of the idea that it’s always right-wingers who
support, condone, and incite violence. “Ted and Rush make a lot of money by throwing Molotov cocktails into the
public discourse,” he says. If you want a good giggle, go back through
Sanjay Sanghoee’s posts at The Huffington Post and awisefool.com. He’s
sympathetic to Occupiers worldwide. So if you want to throw a verbal Molotov
Cocktail, Sanghoee will be there to nail you to the wall. But if you want to
throw a real one, break things, set things on fire, or attack local law
enforcement, he’ll give you a glowing review.
