Andrew Sullivan’s Hypocrisy on Privacy

Andy might be some trouble over the malice used in attacking this family. I tell you who I would really be worried is ArcXIX. I think this was the person that started this slime. I don’t think it would take a John Edwards to get a jury to see the malice in this users libel.
Sucks to be him or her.

Yes, he has a fixation on the NR crew kind of like a rabid dog having a spell, doesn’t he? They do largely seem to have figured out not to bait him or even respond to him any more.

[relictele]

The red mist descended when he realized that society was putting its foot down on the gay marriage issue: he’s been unable to concentrate on anything else for some time.

And we can all breathe a sigh of relief and move on.

Sorry, Andrew, your "sigh of relief" and ability to "move on" are not on the list of important things to do. I'm certain you understand.

[Roscoe Karns]

Did this ArcXIX creature even do a mea culpa? I know, stupid question.

[Skywalk]

It actually reminds me of some *I stress SOME not all or most* libertarians and paleocons who used to be opposed to certain policies of Republicans and now seem to have cast their lot in with the Olbermanns and Raimondos of the world, even as they cast aspersions on former ‘allies’ or sometime co-ideologues.

[Tublecane]

I read him daily following 9/11, and he was blockbuster. I think the gay marriage issue drove him crazy.

[elcid1970]

Andrew is a militant in-your-face flaming faggie.

So who cares what he thinks?

What’s he going to do, hit you in the face with his manbag and then kick you in the shins?

[Opinionated Blowhard]

I've given up trying to understand what happened to Sullivan. As prior posters pointed out, he used to be reasonable (even when he took Lib positions). Now he's an Obama worshipper who peddles Leftwing smears. I've simply stopped reading him or caring what he says, other than to check in at times like this for the amusement value of watching how hysterical he has become.

[Edison]

No they did not. They can’t even take it down because so many other blogs have copied it and put it up.

[pharmamom]

No! His rat-dog might get whiplash if he whopped you with his bag! (I have a whole riff on rat-dogs in purses, way, way back on my blog.)

[pharmamom]

Is he HIV+? I made a crack about weird viruses causing frontal lobe damage, but if he is positive, he may truly have frontal lobe issues. Lack of inhibition and poor judgment would be hallmarks. Sort of like having a viral lobotomy.
