It’s Like Watching A Car Crash In Very Slow Motion

Jim Paine has penned us another non-reply.

If your reader hasn't found an instance where Williams, Deloria or Laduke cited Churchill, he hasn't looked hard enough.

You can probably guess what our response email said, but just in case . . .

Hello Mr. Paine,

WHERE?

For someone who prides himself on being a straight-shooter, m’man, you’re gonna break your own neck trying to screw out from under the question.

You stated, and I quote, “[t]he work of Vine Deloria, of Bruce Johansen, of Winona LaDuke, of Robert A. Williams, Jr. - activists all, Churchill supporters all - the work of all of these is hopelessly intertwined and interdependent, each providing rationale for the others' theses . . . Churchill cites Deloria, who cites Johansen, who cites Williams.”

What books, what page numbers? You’ve smeared the reputations of several scholars and questioned the validity of an entire academic department based on the above argument. Now that the Associated Press is running your dog-and-pony show along with our own yokels, we’d like to know where your evidence is. It’s not a trick question, it’s not a tough question. If you can’t answer it, cowboy up, make your apologies, and take the essay down.

Otherwise, you’ve got about as much right attacking Churchill’s credibility as the Marquis De Sade has preaching abstinence. And we shall continue to call you on it.

John

* We just realized the Marquis de Sade thing doesn't really work as he was forcibly abstinent most of his life, being imprisoned. Shit
