Which, I know, doesn’t actually amount to “news”, but we must keep in mind just what they are – from Mediate:
Political humor website Wonkette has long been trending toward nihilistic snark for snark’s sake, but Jack Stuef’s column “honoring” Trig Palin’s birthday is about the most irredeemably vile, unfunny thing I’ve ever seen. As if jokes about Trig’s Down Syndrome aren’t bad enough on their own, Stuef goes the extra mile to pen kneeslappers about incest, child rape, and fetal alcohol syndrome. I don’t want to reproduce too much of it here, but this quote is fairly representative:
Today is the day we come together to celebrate the snowbilly grifter’s magical journey from Texas to Alaska to deliver to the America the great gentleman scholar Trig Palin. Is Palin his true mother? Or was Bristol? (And why is it that nobody questions who the father is? Because, either way, Todd definitely did it.)…
Can I get a show of hands out there on who thinks Mr. Palin has just been granted a license to beat the snot out of Stuef any time he likes? As long as Palin is modestly cautious (ie, does it in a red State), no jury would ever convict. Texas would probably be the best place to do it – there, he’s probably get an award.
What sort of diseased mind do you have to have to write something like that? I mean, seriously, is there any sense of shame or common decency in such a person? I guess not. Spend as much time as liberals do hating and after a while there is no sense – no judgment – which would bring such thoughts to a screeching halt before it made it to the page.
Just keep this in mind – this is what we’re dealing with: people who think like this. Remember that the next time someone says we need a “new tone” or that we should compromise.
UPDATE: Buycott Papa John’s! In the resulting fracas from the disgusting piece, a battle has developed over Papa John’s – they pulled their advertising from Wonkette after they were alerted to the article. Wonkette is now urging a boycott. I urge everyone to get a Papa John’s pizza some time this week.
