SCENE:\u00a0 Mitch BERG, driving down Larpenteur Avenue, is behind a Subaru.\u00a0 The Subaru, coated in liberal campaign stickers dating back to when the car was new (Wellstone’s first re-election campaign), suddenly blows a tire.\u00a0 It tries to drive for a block or two on the flapping flat until it pulls over<\/em><\/p>\n

BERG pulls over behind it and gets out to offer help…<\/em><\/p>\n

…and is visibly dismayed to see Cat SCAT,\u00a0designated \u201cfact checker\u201d at progressive blog \u201c\u201dMinnesotaLiberalAlliance.Blogspot.com\u201c, and office manager at a\u00a0small phrenology practice, clamber out of the malfunctioning door.<\/em><\/p>\n

SCAT:\u00a0 Merg!\u00a0 There is going to be an epidemic of white right-wing male violence!<\/p>\n

BERG: Yeah, Big Left has been warning us about that for a long, long time.\u00a0 In the meantime, while we wait, and wait, and wait for that to happen, all the actual violence is coming from the left. James Hodgkinson, the murder of Brooks Jennings, Floyd Corkins and his attack on the Family Research Council, the various “Anti”-Fa thugs and their attacks, the assaults on Sarah Anderson and Shane Mekeland, and a long, long list of other attacks<\/a>.<\/p>\n

SCAT: Yeah, but you’ve got people on the right\u00a0calling\u00a0<\/em>for violenbce!<\/p>\n

BERG: Such as?<\/p>\n

SCAT:\u00a0 Ted Nugent!<\/p>\n

BERG:\u00a0 A man whose commercial peak was 40 years ago, whose peak infliuence as a pundit was 25 years ago, and who was cashiered from the leadership of the NRA for being a loose cannon.<\/p>\n

SCAT:\u00a0 \u00a0You\u00a0conveniently omit\u00a0<\/em>Lester Crrunkins!<\/p>\n

BERG:\u00a0 \u00a0Who in the flaming hootie-hoo is Lester Crunkins?<\/p>\n

SCAT:\u00a0 He’s a prominent\u00a0<\/em>Republican Party official who called for the violent establishmebt of a white homeland!<\/p>\n

BERG: And where’s he from?<\/p>\n

SCAT:\u00a0\u00a0Prominent!<\/em><\/p>\n

BERG:\u00a0 \u00a0Where?<\/p>\n

SCAT:\u00a0 \u00a0Er…<\/p>\n

BERG:\u00a0 \u00a0He’s from a town in western Oklahoma, he was the only person who showed up at the convention so he elected himself chair, and he’s been castigated by his county and state parties.\u00a0 \u00a0And that’s only after they found out who he was in the first place, since the only reason anyone knows who he was was the media flocking to report on a “prominent” Republican calling for violence.<\/p>\n

Which is intended to draw attention away from the likes of Maxine Waters and the other Democrats calling for violence – which is what I call “Berg’s Seventh Law”, by the way.<\/p>\n

SCAT:\u00a0 (Winds up to try to punch BERG.\u00a0 Swings.\u00a0 BERG dodges the punch easily and steps back).\u00a0\u00a0<\/em>:<\/p>\n

SCAT:\u00a0 (Winded<\/em>) .\u00a0 \u00a0That was self-defense!<\/p>\n

BERG:\u00a0 Of\u00a0course\u00a0<\/em>it was…<\/p>\n
