Speaking in defense of Texas Hold Em Blogger -- who famously called Mexicans (or at least people he suspected of being Mexican) "Chihuahuas" -- Journal Sentinel columnist Patrick McIlheran has written:
He's a good writer who can come up with sharp, on-target commentary without using out-of-bounds insults. It's a shame he used one, giving his foes a lever. May he go on being interesting.
Perhaps he's referring to this anguished cry of defiance to attacks from the "hate left," i.e., people who take issue with him calling Mexicans "chihuahuas.":
And that’s every last one of you. Don’t you ever darken the door of this place again. In fact, go to hell. Go straight to hell.
Here’s all I have to say to you.
If I had to say one more thing, it would end with the words “…and the horse you rode in on.”
You succeeded in making me even more defiant of you. I’d suggest the whole lot of you do the world a favor by taking a header off a bridge but I don’t think we could get that lucky.
By the way, this is my place. And I always get the last word here.
I can't figure out whether that reminds me more of Burke or Hayek. Kirk, maybe?
Then, lest anyone was wondering if he really thought Mexicans were chihuahuas, in comments he says (Brawler's bold):
By the way, I don’t retract or apologize for one word I’ve ever written here.
Ever.
If you don’t like that, the hell with you.
Take that, Patrick McIlheran! I call that sharp, on-target and interesting!
That said, at least he hasn't been leaving threatening comments with us hate lefters, as he has done in the past.
Whallah! dug up these gems that were left with illusory Tenant (who is back after being driven underground by the Sykesian forces for calling Jessica McBride a bad word -- an act for which he apologized and for which he came under criticism from not a few lefty bloggers.)
From June 30th: FUCK YOU YOU COCKSUCKER. I WILL MEET YOU ANY TIME ANYWHERE .... YOU CAN'T MATCH UP WITH ANYONE, YOU SHIT FOR BRAINS PIECE OF SHIT. COME ON ... PLEASE ... FUCK YOU
And from September 11th: FUCK YOU AND THE HORSE YOU RODE IN ON ... YOU GODDAMN LEFTIST PIECE OF SHIT TROLL. FUCK OFF ... I'D HUNT YOU DOWN AND BREAK BOTH YOUR LEGS IF I THOUGHT IT WAS WORTH THE TIME ... MAYBE YOU ARE
Sharp. On-target. Interesting.
Keep in mind, Brawler, that to the right, making racist, sexist and threatening statements is just a piffle when compared to an one word insult, mentioned as an aside.
They are truly fair and balanced.

Wow. That guy is really really scary. He's going to hurt someone some day.
