What's wrong with snark?

and

You say:

"He closed with this: 'But we also expect progressive radio to be accountable to it's audience.'Since there is no audience, then, they are accountable to nobody."

My blog did not include the "Since there is no audience, then, they are accountable to nobody."

There you go! Get linked by a righty blog, and get your words twisted and distorted.

Oh, and mine is a queer blog not a lefty blog. I can see where it might seen lefty given that the vast majority of anti-gay rhetoric comes from the right.

I added the "no audience" bit. There is a tag malfunction. I'll fix it.

I'm not familiar enough with your blog to know (or care) about your orientation. I'm not famously anti-gay - I took part in a gay bashing once, but it was on the side of the victim, so you can save your stereotypes.

Sorry to disappoint.

Oh, you asked a question: What's wrong with snark?

In proportional doses, it's fine. And fun.

But it's a crutch that too much of the left leans on to the exclusion of everything else. "Eschaton" and "Kos" are *ALL* snark, no meat.

Unlike most conservative bloggers, I make a point of reading the moonbats fairly regularly - and it's depressing. For too many, it's all snark, all the time.

Of course there are snarky conservative blogs. They bore me quickly, and I rarely read them.

Mine will probably bore you to tears then.

Who are you?

Do I know you?

The name sounds familiar...

Um, Mitch, it's Gloria Wise, not Dorothy.

Doh!

WHenever I think charity, I think "Dorothy Day", here in Saint Paul.

Blah.

Thanks.

>>"Who are you?"<<

I'm guessing you and he . . . um . . . "travel" . . . in different circles.

I interviewed Nick Coleman last week about the Air America Minnesota memogate issue. Nick said a signicant percentage of those who emailed him from listening to his show on Air America self identified as gay. That's why he found Janet Robert's policy so bizarre.

Andy didn't say you were anti-gay - read what he said - so why get so defensive?

Um, talking about something doesn't imply defensiveness.

"Andy didn't say you were anti-gay "

He said: "Get linked by a righty blog, and get your words twisted and distorted" and "I can see where it might seen lefty given that the vast majority of anti-gay rhetoric comes from the right."

So you're right. He didn't say "Mitch is anti-gay". Merely that because of my politics I feel an irresistable, uncontrollable compulsion to mangle and twist the thoughts of "queers".

My mistake.
