In January of
this year, David Sirota announced via his Facebook account that, “After almost
four years of working in radio, I no longer work at Clear Channel Denver.”
The folks at TalkRadio
630 KHOW did nothing to assuage the notion that he was fired.
In early 1999,
an “overzealous” Sirota was fired for racially
charged and dishonest “dirty tricks” in a Philadelphia mayoral race.
The day after
the Boston Marathon bombings this ultimate badass coddled pussy penned a
1,026 word screed at Salon, which I
refuse to link, bearing the headline: “Let’s hope the Boston Marathon bomber is a
white American.”
It reads in
part:
“…if you care about everything from stopping war to reducing the defense budget to protecting civil liberties to passing immigration reform, you should hope the bomber was a white domestic terrorist. Why? Because only in that case will privilege work to prevent the Boston attack from potentially undermining progress on those other issues.”
How
contemptible, despicable, shameful and disgraceful.
Not satisfied
at ginning up ire over that loathsome screed, Sirota marshaled his lexicon of deceitful
bile for a second column which he titled, “I
still hope the bomber is a white American.”
The last
paragraph reads:
“The reason to hope that the bomber is a white American is because in a country where white privilege and double standards so obviously affect our national security reactions, that outcome will better guarantee that the reaction to Boston is a bit more measured.”
Poor little,
heartbroken David. The Boston bombers were, indeed, Muslim.
Sirota is an attention whore desperately seeking
gainful employment. I don’t know how
much Salon or the Puffington Host are paying him, but those sites are snakepits
and Sirota has emerged as the viper du jour.
The cocooning of our betters (academics and liberals)
regarding Islam and Islamist extremists breeds colossal ignorance and a
stalwart conviction that they are never wrong and never at fault.
The Left's and
the media's reflexive search for right-wing perpetrators is not unique to this
attack; i.e.: NPR’s “All
Things Considered”, James
Kitfield, Tim Lister and Paul Cruickshank, Jessica Stern, and Adam Lankford. I’m
adding Megan Garber to the list
of stupid liberals.
As James
Taranto noted, “What the hope-they're-white crowd really wishes for is a reason
to treat their domestic political adversaries as enemies of the state.”
Gabriel Malor succinctly
notes, “The media’s habitual blaming of the political right is endemic and
incurable. Media figures sincerely believe the right wing is violent, so
naturally assume that violent people must be right-wing. This won’t be the last
time they make that mistake.”
Sirota must be
cramping up by now. The bombers who shot
beloved MIT campus policeman Sean
Collier in cold blood didn’t
have gun permits.
The Boston
police commissioner, Edward Davis, said the authorities believed that the Tsarnaev
brothers had
planned more attacks beyond the bombings at the finish line of the Boston
Marathon and the FBI is hotly pursuing a
12-man terrorist “sleeper cell” linked to them.
Sirota has
subsequently been mocked to within an inch of his manhood because his Twitter
account featured an avatar of him poorly making a fist and appearing to be
terrified a throw a punch. So the
Twitterverse lit up with #siroting. The resulting scorn forced him to change it.
The primary criticism of my @salon article is my Twitter photo. So funny. OK, so I changed it. You win! LMFAO.

As you can
see, I joined in on the fun with the Photoshop™ featured with this post. I thought showing Krusty the Clown about
to throw a punch in David’s direction was great editorializing.
By the by, have
