Crandolph’s Barbaric Yawp

"We all really have to get  beyond flaming on the internet and get down to the left and right settling differences  with bare knuckles. And I’m dead serious about
being willing to fight the guy. I speak for
no one but myself, but I am fed up with wingnut
hostility, threats and garbage like permits to hunt liberals and have no moral qualms about taking out my frustrations on a wingnut given to fantasizing about beating people into unconsciousness, just to give
him a chance to make his dreams, theoretically
anyway, come true. I owe it to 1,700 dead US servicemen and thousands of dead Iraqis
to pummel the hell out of at least one lying-assed
right wing scumbag. …"

With this tirade the lefty web presence known as Rev. Mykeru calls out a habitually physically theatening right wing net presence named Steve Crager, who in typical Yellow Elephant fashion refuses to show.

The problem with the Yellow Elephant campaign, of course. is that it limits the hypocrisy of volunteering poor kids to do your fighting to the Republican Party and its members.  Anyone who works to elect Democrats who want and wanted to send additional divisions into Iraq and Afghanistan to "do the job right" and isn’t lining up at their recruiting office or sending their own children into harm’s way is, in fairness, equally open to the same criticism.
