Well, there's the WBW folks, to begin w/. That'd include Doctor Menlo, Grady Olivier, Amir Butler (who might do it anyway), Jak King (although he's Canadian, so that might not apply), and Brad Olson.

Then, there's some fellow travelers (so to speak), including Norm Jenson.

Do Norman Mailer, Kingsolver, Rall, etc., count?

But, for WBW, Igor Boog appears able to make reasonable arguments w/o too much ad hominem. And many readers like the Rittenhouse Review, too? But if they want to go, by all means, let them volunteer.

Well, it's gotta be people who have actually used the "chickenhawk" slur, or something vaguely similar.

And most of the ones that do aren't worth the attention. Hell, even Shropshire is getting far more limelight than his writing merits.

"Hesiod Theogeny" -- counterspin.blogspot.com

Mark Konrad of Vanguard News fame is the only one at Dr. Weevil's site who has even spoken up on Shropshire's behalf. That alone says something about the company the antiwar Left keeps nowadays.

Oh, and Stephen; Happy New Year, you lapsed agnostic Jew, you! ;-) Your first one with your bride too. Make it special, my man.

Yeah, after the WBW crowd, Hesiod is leading the pack of utter imbecility. His latest was that Bush wants to conquer Iraq to add it to the American Empire he's building to emulate the Roman empire. Scheer stupidity.

I would recommend sending Michael Moore. He has been campaigning against the Iraqi War. I would also send him just on general principle. (The principle being I despise him.)

Re: Hesiod from counterspin.

I've had my run-in's with this guy. He frequently uses the term "chickenblogger" to refer to the pro-war bloggers - right off the top with insults.

Not having a strong classical education, I didn't know until recently that the strange name 'Hesiod Theogony' was a handle, leading to the conclusion that Hesiod is another one of those chicken lefty psuedos, unwilling to back up his insults with his real name.

I'm looking forward to these guys deciding to be even-handed and sending people to be human shields in Israeli restaurants, seders, and buses, guarding against terrorist attacks.

Let me know when they do that. I won't be holding my breath.

Check this out. I'm stunned.

In a spirit of goodwill (which may not last long), let me ask seriously, what do you expect if you routinely describe anti-war people you disagree with as idiots and/or cowards? You complain about being smeared. Haven't you done your share, since September 12th? From what do you presume an immunity from invective? None of these are rhetorical questions. I'd really like to know.

The USAf should make a comprehensive dossier of all the sites that the soi disant human shields are hiding out, and move them to the top of the list marked 'Obliterate'.

First, wonder if this does anything?

Max, I don't know who started the shit-slinging. But I do know who won't stop it. Rein in the WBW monkeys and maybe others will follow suit. I haven't noticed you over there admonishing them for invective. I'd wager you'll find a lot more of it over there.

There, you'll find Shropshire characterizing someone on a near-daily basis as "a fucking moron", or "Nazi". Dunno about you, but that sounds a little more severe than "idiot" to me.
