Wingers came out of the woodwork to support Charlie Sykes as he bravely stood up against the mighty Interfaith Council of Greater Milwaukee and said he was unapologetic in equating Islam with Naziism and Stalinism.
Predictably, one of his biggest defenders was none other than the great Texas Hold Em Blogger, who called Interfaith's request to take down a Muslim-bashing image nothing less than "PC bullying."
It's an odd charge, given if Tex knows from anything he knows from bullying.
Here's how he might treat you at a store if you speak Spanish to some friends at a store:
I stood in Wal Mart yesterday and listen to a bunch of chattering chihuahuas speaking Mexican until I sick of listening to it and finally said, “You’re in America. Speak English or go back to wherever you came from” and walked away.
Or here's the kind of comment you might expect if you're a blogger who takes issue with him:
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
The Brawler previously documented Tex's repartee here (and Tex -- quit visiting the Brawler through your stats page -- it lacks dignity).
Strangely, Charlie -- who links to Tex -- didn't give him a shoutout in a column hailing his supporters in his brave stand to defend a religious slur.
Patrick McIlheran calls Tex "sharp" "on-target" and "interesting."
He's clearly interesting.
Hmmm. First time visitor...read 3 posts...seems this Texas Hold 'Em and Patrick McIlheran really grate on your nerves. Interesting. I rather like them both and find their blogs far more enjoyable than yours, as yours seems riddled with insidious jabs at people you don't care for but with little validity to your claims and little to no substance in your posts. Sorry to see that. Have a good one.

... little validity to your claims and little to no substance in your posts.
Too funny, since the text is taken directly from Tex's blog.
You do know this is the Jeni of Sheboygan blogging fame. I wonder if there wasn't a little truth to some of the claims made about her, especially if she agrees with Tex and Paddy.
