VRWC CLAIMS YET ANOTHER VICTIM: CHARLES KAREL BOULEY
Well, I guess I've arrived. Bill O'Reilly has gone on air, quoted a piece I wrote completely out of context and then had a debate about the whole thing, all without once consulting me or inviting me on as a guest. Guess that would be too fair and balanced...

For the record, I never wrote, have written or said that I wished Tony Snow or anyone cancer or any other fatal illness. And when O'Reilly read the piece on air, he left out the part about how I wished him a speedy recovery and the support of family and friends to help navigate the waters ahead. Again, goes to fair and balanced, I suppose.

But this has taught me a great lesson: the right can't take it. These compassionate, God-fearing individuals that stand for truth and justice have written over the last 48 hours things like "I hope you die a long, agonizing death by cancer you motherf*****. Only, before that I hope you all you(r) loved ones suffer the same fate ahead of you and give you an idea of what's in store for you. You are a reprehensible c*********," "You people are the most hateful, intolerant, misguided, self diluted, selfish, twisted people in our society. You and your ilk will be the down fall of our great county. Not the people on the right, not the terrorists, it will be the left. Hope to meet you on a dark side street," "I hope you die of AIDS you sick f*****...," "I hope your partner died in horrible pain, he deserved it and so do you...," "If your mother is alive I hope she dies in front of you in a painful way..." on and on I could go.

Too late!

I agree, though, that these people were way out of line to say such horrible things. Instead they should have followed Bouley's lead, couching their mean, hurtful words in passive-aggressive faux-sympathy:

I don't want you to die a long, agonizing death by cancer. But I admit, I had the thought. It's terrible, I know. And it would be truly unfortunate if your mother died in front of you in a painful way. I would never wish such an ordeal on anyone. Even you! And if it did happen (which, like I said, would be awful), I would hope you'd have the support of your family and friends. But in the back of my head, there's Big Star's "You get what you deserve..."

See, you can say whatever you want, as long as you pin a "This is what I don't want to happen" disclaimer on it. Now you're bomb-throwing the Charles Karel Bouley way!
