TBT: The Brutal Truth

The attention whores at AmericaBlog are at it again. Whenever Aravosis isn't marginalizing his own liberal audience between "Liberals I Like" (read: capitalists) and "Liberals I Don't Like Because Their Fear Of Money Will Ruin The Democratic Party" (e.g. non-capitalists) during his contribution drives, there's always his pal Chris in Paris that's railing like Cotton Mather on the evil, wicked, mean, and nastiness that is .... smoking:

Who would have guessed that even small towns in the south are instituting smoking bans? What a pleasant surprise and I wish that the spineless government in France would have followed through with it's no-smoking program instead of cowering to the 25% who smoke.

Gee, aren't we being as sanctimonious and intolerant against a minority as rightwing Christian fundies are, eh Chris?!?

Smokers have set themselves up for the grassroots movements around the world and have only their own behavior to blame for the bans.

Wow, I recall reading a simular threatening line in Lincoln's Cooper Union Address:

In that supposed event, you say, you will destroy the Union; and then, you say, the great crime of having destroyed it will be upon us! That is cool. A highwayman holds a pistol to my ear, and mutters through his teeth, "Stand and deliver, or I shall kill you, and then you will be a murderer!"

Newsflash for you Chris: if the grassroots slave-owning movement didn't intimidate Lincoln back in his day, where in the fucking hell do you get off saying that your buddies in the grassroots anti-smoking movement of today is going to intimidate smokers into compliance to your bourgeois, petty-assed demands -- demands that you claim are the fault of smokers because of their behavior?!?

Anyway, great news on the smoking bans and send us some help over here!

Chris, here's some help for you and the homosexual community - cut bait from that "smoking ban" pale horse right the fuck now. Just shut her down, Bruno. Why? Because, regardless of my previous post, if you won't grant me the freedom to smoke a fag, you can French kiss goodbye the freedom to marry one. Intolerance? Yep. At least mine doesn't hind behind neither the blatant hypocracy of the Bible nor the hypocracy of personal capitalist gain in the guise of A-list blogger net-activism so, please, put this all in your peace pipe and smoke it until you're ready to make a more (dare I say) Democratic compromise.
