Hold your fire! Hold your fire!
Well, there haven’t been this many complaints since S,N! started featuring excerpts from Amber Pawlik’s Sex, the would be competitor to Madonna’s book of the same name.
After our mocking of Kyle Williams, several people left comments arguing that:
And that was 2 weeks ago. Which makes our mocking it little better than pointing out that Youppi is orange. Youppi knows, you (we) idiot.
A lot of Republicans fail to grasp this, I think. They believe that simply because Republicans are in office, government is better. Regardless of what you think about the GOP, that’s ridiculous.
Not only that — but Kyle has World O’Crap on his blogroll. Ahead of Hugh Hewitt’s even!
Which means that both on the haircut front and the general shift in Kyle’s writings, there are, as someone pointed out, better targets out there (the People’s Front of Judea comes to mind.) We would however disagree with this:
I’ve never been comfortable with the way this blog attacks a child for speaking his mind. He may not be David Corn, or even Thomas Sowell, but that might be because he’s SIXTEEN.
If one is going to publish a column (and write a book,) we think that makes him (or her) fair game. As Gavin M. wrote:
Kyle is a World Net Daily columnist, and ‘speaking his mind’ in this context means writing an opinion column read by several literate adults, in addition to World Net Daily’s regular readership.
It’s not like we’re going through high school newspapers looking for “wingnuts” to mock. Kyle’s recent column though, along with blog, we must admit, indicate maturity, thought and intellectual honesty that continue to elude the likes of Charles Krauthammer or Brent Bozell. That, more so than his age, seems like the perfect reason to knock it off.
just wait till he gets laid. the kid is gonna grow his hair long, start listening to the dead, and put a “mean people suck” bumper sticker on the chevy celeberty
Yeah, and you know what else, sometimes Andrew Sullivan says things that are pretty well-thought out and introspective, so nobody should make fun of his stuff anymore either.
Jesus H. I thought this was still S,N! Isn’t part of the whole point of this site to classlessly make fun of any- and everyone? Seb, I say it’s time to start a search to find the youngest possible wingnut to knock off. Even if you have to start searching through high school newspapers!

That is what it says on the mission statement at our corporate HQ. Well, looks like the kinder, gentler S,N! isn’t going over too well either.
If you need us, we’ll be at Kennedy High School in Little Rock going through the school newspaper.
Kyle is no longer a wingnut, he’s a conservative Christian, y’know the kind of guy you can disagree with but not think “What are you? Nuts? Nuke Mecca?” or that he’s going to leap at your throat screaming “Bush is god! Die unbeliever!!!”
Look through his recent stuff on WingNutDaily, I’m pretty sure they’re thinking about firing him.
Ah, don’t listen to Yosef, Seb- he’s a big meanie 😉
I think there’s one thing we can say about this whole wingnut-kid thing: Seb saw the savagery of teenage wingnuts and prepared for war; Brad saw the savagery of the teenage wingnuts and wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding for the teenage wingnuts.
I’m just proud that Wo’C is the choice of 16-year-olds who write for WorldNetDaily. I think I will that in my masthead.
(And I do admire Kyle for putting up a new photo, femmy hair and all. I think Mike Adams is still using his junior high photo; Doug Giles’ is from his days as a pimp, I believe.}

I don’t believe you, Yosef. There’s no way Andrew Sullivan has ever posted anything well thought out.
Since Adam Yoshida isn’t biting, maybe Kyle can be our wingnut mascot. …Our ‘mascot in an ascot.’
Doug Giles’ is from his days as a pimp
In other words, yesterday.
It’s perfectly normal for people to mellow out after a successful sex-change operation, even if it’s just tonsorial.
Truth is, Kyle does sound like someone who’d be on our side had he not been homeschooled and forced to look like a Romulan his whole life.
You realize that if you humanize Ben, then some poor misguided liberal girl will end up wanting to sleep with him. She’ll think she’s saving the world, and plus, the fact that he writes books is HAWT. And that poor misguided liberal girl will end up having an satisfactory tumble in his dorm room, Ben will decide that he must love her, and his poor heart will be broken.
And then he’ll write another book about how the wimmins are very bad or something.
Hrm. I was going to say this comment ran out of steam, but I don’t think it found any steam to begin with.
“I don’t think it found any steam to begin with.”
Welcome to my world.
From his latest blog entry:
Ah, it looks like the president will be announcing his SCOTUS pick tonight. Is there really any hope that he’s going to nominate anyone but the pick of the parasitic GOP establishment? I mean, really, does anyone believe that, other than the people on Free Republic?

I think Kyle’s a mole. He’s far too reasonable to be a real Wingnut.
If he is a mole you must continue to attack and provide him cover. If not, you should lay off and try to turn him.
Jesus, I almost feel like Karl Rove now.
Does that mean you feel like you need a shower now, Jimbo? (It should.)
I just humbly offer my servies as someone to hire who would do awful things. Prices upon request.
