Thought provoking comments at McBride's Media Matters

Earlier this summer Jessica McBride opened her site to comments. While comments originally were unmoderated, she soon changed that policy due to purported abuse. The Brawler suspects the real reason is that she couldn't stand seeing her "insights" getting flayed by people unfairly invoking reality or facts.

Given her concern about abusive discussion -- and her scorn for those who operate behind the veil of anonymity -- the Brawler was amused to find this piece of sterling insight from one "John" who attacks the tireless john williams. Remember, Jessica approved this comment, which has something to do with Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (the "madman of Iran" in Jessica's parlance)speaking at Columbia University:

Jeff, libs, live in a theorhetical world of "rights". Most libs like Johnny Williams are sissy boys, who love their rights, and masturbate to the freedoms that they have not, would not, will not nor cannot fight for nor win for themselves.
Johnny Williams has no clue what enemies of America would and will do to him, if given the oppurtunity.
Johnny Williams lives in a FREEDOM VACCUM, in which he is a spoiled PRICK, because SOMEONE ELSE made the ULTIMATE SACRIFICE, AND, Little Johnny DimWad, USES the FREEDOMS afforded him AND HIS 2 DADDIES BY OTHERS, to SPOUT ABOUT America being FREE, and HIS OWN FREEDOM to be a COMPLETE FUKJOB and LOSER.
Theorhetically, JOHHNY was GIVEN the RIGHT to WIPE HIS LAZY FAT AZZ with OLD GLORY. Johnny loves that, because it illustrates the GREATNESS of AMERICAN TOLERANCE, that SOMEONE ELSE'S DAD, UNCLE, GRANDFATHER or BROTHER earned for JOHNNY. MY 24 YEAR OLD PURPLE HEART MARINE SOON TO BE GOING BACK NEPHEW EARNED.
Johnny THEORHETICALLY is the EXACT situation that our MADISONIAL FRAMERS were thinking about!!!!
Yes, a FLABBY ASS-HAT liberal, hooked on Mountain Dew RUSH!!!
And The Adams, James Madison, John Hancock, Alexander Hamilton ET AL, had struggled to FREE, Johnny Williams to WELCOME SWORN ENEMIES of the U.S. to speak.
Yes Johnny dimwit,We could LET MAHMOUD speak. But don't INVITE him?
The Invitation by Columbia, merely EMPOWERED the IVORY TOWER pricks to POSTURE as morally superior.

DESPITE THE USE OF THE PLATFORM FOR PROPAGANDA AGAINST US/U.S.
These bastards take themselves, way way too seriously, and the damage they do, is REAL.

It's stuff like this that reminds the Brawler why the GOP is the party of ideas.

Recall that in July, Jessica said this: "I will not allow anonymous trash comment postings on my blog. If people don't have the guts to say who they are, they are not welcome to comment on my blog."

Jessica, how do you define "trash"?

And yes, the Brawler moderates comments, due entirely to a nasty comment someone posted here about ... Jessica McBride.

Why even moderate comments if you're going to allow this kind of sick (not to mention incoherent) rambling? More to the point, why posture about preventing abuse and "trash" through moderation and requiring ID (is "John" - one of the most common names on the planet - her idea of ID'ing oneself?) if you're not going to even temper outright cursing (intentional misspellings are the thinnest of veils - although, perhaps these were unintentional, as the dude doesn't seem too educated).
