Right-Wing Victim Culture, Take Two
This is really, really, sad. But it made me laugh anyway. Last week, David Horowitz accused America's youth of being fascists hell-bent on committing assault with a deadly baked good (see the archives). Ann Coulter was also the target of pie-wielding thugs-- after the publication of her book 'Treason,' in which she....uhhhh, accused the American left of being un-American fascists. Are you sensing a trend?
Well, it looks like Sean "Slanthead" Hannity took some time on his show to let Horowitz air his grievances against fascists and their golden-brown, graham cracker crusts of mass destruction. Complete with a clip of Coulter under attack by said fascists. To her eternal shame, she doesn't even stand her ground with the aplomb of Bill Kristol, another victim of authoritarian desserts. Instead, she makes like a nerdy kid playing dodgeball, and runs like crazy. But I kid the reactionary kooks.
Oh, and just so you know, Hannity makes the hilarious assertion that he's "Number One" one the list of some of these fascists-with-pies. Wow! Apparently some of the folks that right-wing hacks constantly label as fascists don't take too kindly to the accusation, and insist on serving up their own brand of whipped-topping vigilantism. Hannity, Horowitz, and Coulter-- you might call it a 'hack trick.'

The real tragedy is that while these people are fighting against health care, veterans' rights, and a living wage, they're expressing their outrage over the existence of pie-throwing pranksters. If that doesn't demonstrate that these people are clowns (and that the pie-in-face-routine is their business), I don't know what will...
