GOLDHAMMER
Posted this rant with personal attacks against Cincinna,
Free Republic, & American Conservatives. 

http://artgoldhammer.blogspot.com/2011/03/double-language.html

What response do you all think this whining Liberal should get?

Here is what the Harvard Intellectual had to say:

“Cincinna, a regular commenter here, occasionally pretends to value my insights, but what she posts elsewhere about me puts me in mind of those politicians who specialize in double discourse, saying one thing in one place and another in another. On Free Republic, a mouthpiece of the American extreme right, or “small-state American conservatism,” as Cincinna would no doubt characterize it, she is rather less polite than she is here.”
Cincinna said
“He is so full of Leftist knee-jerk anti-Sarko venomous hatred it makes the author’s anti-Libya intervention position unintelligible. He never mentions the total incoherence and lack of leadership in Obama’s war in Libya. Psycho-babble is nonsense when discussing foreign policy & political motivation. All that is missing here is an analysis of Sarko’s short stature. Napoleon complex? Why not?
Goldhammer’s undisguised contempt for Nicolas Sarkozy, to the point of suffering from SDS blinds him. He has also written extensively, ranting against Conservatives, GWB & Sarah Palin at length on his Blog.
He is suffering from a severe case multi polar PDS - Political Derangement Syndrome, BDS PDS SDS & now MLPDS his fear and trembling at the possible election of Marine le Pen.
As a supposed historian, his misinformation about Sarko’s political & personal history is mind-boggling.
His facts are all wrong about Sarko & the Human Bomb story. Obviously he was not there, never read the newspaper accounts, never watched the video on YouTube widely used in the 2007 campaign. It caught it all on tape.”

His response: “Thanks, indeed, Cincinna, for this succinct summary of my failings. I did indeed make an error about the Human Bomb story, because I am, alas, fallible and was writing under deadline pressure. I neglected to check a detail, which I once knew but had forgotten. But given the many syndromes with which I am afflicted, it’s a wonder that I can write anything at all, or that you bother to read and comment on what I do manage to write day after day. I assume, by the way, that the writer at Free Republic and the commenter on this blog are the same Cincinna, and that the Free Republic writer is not some crank signing your name to her rants. If there happen to be two Cincinnas obsessed with the same error in my piece, I apologize.

Incidentally, I’m curious about that remark concerning my “fear and trembling at the possible election of Marine Le Pen.” Since you have on this site referred to Marine Le Pen, if memory serves, as a neo-fascist, anti-Semite, and Holocaust denier, would you not advise “fear and trembling” at the thought of her election? In fact, I don’t believe that she is any of these things—indeed, her skill as a political tactician told her to abandon those aspects of her father’s rhetoric that tarred the party with these accusations—but I still view her emergence as a genuine contender as disastrous for France. Don’t you?’”
