Howling Hyenas

It looks like the Rabid Left™ has won another one. The vicious mob in Liberal-Land stands ever vigilant with flaming torches and pitchforks ready to storm the Castle of Reason at the drop of a hat. Personally, I wouldn’t trust the WAPO as far as I could throw one of their presses ...

- Tuesday, March 21 - Editor & Publisher: “Washington Post Launches Conservative Blog, Provokes a Firestorm”

- Thursday, March 23 - Daily KOS: “Ben Domenech - Plagiarist”

- Friday, March 24 - Salon.com: “Washington Post on Domenech: We did plenty of background checks”

- Friday, March 24 - Washington Post: “Ben Domenech Resigns Over Plagiarism Charges”

- Friday, March 24 - Human Events Online: “Blogger Ben Domenech Calls Washington Post Editors Fools”

There’s more from Michelle Malkin, Rick Moran, and Junkyard Blog.

From what I read, Ben is guilty as charged. Not just of plagiarism at his college newspaper but when he worked at National Review. Is that an excuse for the Leftists making prank phone calls to his house and sending threatening e-mails? Of course not. However, as any non-Liberal blogger knows, the blogosphere can be a dangerous place.

I myself have a huge archive of hate e-mail, death threats, vicious personal attacks and (believe it or not) photoshopped pictures of myself and a few cartoon drawings of yours truly that defy explanation. All of this is definite proof that Liberal America has come totally unhinged. I know other conservative bloggers who have received similar invective from the Angry Left and worse.

Part of it I blame on the nature of the internet. We are all so isolated from each other and insulated by e-mail and blogs that there is often an urge to say things we would never say in person (for risk of a knuckle sandwich). The vast majority of the blame however, has to go to Al Gore and the Democratic Party. If only Gore had gracefully accepted defeat in 2000 and if Howard Dean had been less vituperative and if Tom Daschle had been a little more cooperative and if .... you get the picture.

I hope Ben recovers from this fiasco and can get on with his career, a little wiser in his choice of words. As for the Angry Left, there’s no hope. We are doomed to be plagued by them until their unquenchable anger and hatred eventually burns out. I only hope I can hold out that long. It looks like we’re in for a long bonfire as the mad villagers of Leftville scream and dance around the flames with pitchforks all ready for the next conservative to sally forth from the castle ...

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
