Larry Thornberry and I have both annoyed an Australian leftist academic with our respective commentary on the events in Ferguson.
Binoy Kampmark, who teaches at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, wrote a piece "analyzing" conservative commentary in the wake of the grand jury's decision not to indict Darren Wilson. Kampmark has been associated with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange and unsuccessfully ran for the Australian Senate under the Wikileaks Party banner. In addition to taking Larry and I to task, Kampmark also criticizes NRO's Rich Lowry and Ian Tuttle. Here is what Kampmark writes about Thornberry and me:
[must read quote of Kampmark's absolute ignorance]
.......Since the grand jury did not see fit to charge Darren Wilson with Michael Brown's death, the Left not only wants to put a noose around Wilson's neck, it wishes to delegitimize police officers altogether. This is something for which Larry and I won't stand and if our stand manages to annoy a left-wing academic half way around the world then we have done our job.

It is very easy to annoy leftists. State facts and they can’t handle it.
“To anger a conservative, tell him a lie. To anger a liberal, tell him the truth.”
“Me and Thornberry annoy...”?
He annoys me with his atrocious grammar.
TRUTH: It's the new hate speech.
I like that one, I had forgotten it...thanks!
