As everyone should know by now, Obama has requested that his supporters forward the email addresses and web sites of his opponents to flag@WhiteHouse.gov so that the government can ... enlighten them.
So ... on August 9, 2009, I felt it was my civic duty to report my own little web site, which gets about five visitors a day and has never been mentioned by any newspaper or website. I sent the following message to the new White House snitch address:
I think you may agree that, in the long run, the greatest danger to Mr. Obama's goals to transform America could be the words and the ideas originating from the author of the web site www.LeeroyFDermit.com.
Apparently the White House agreed! Just four days later, my site was one of a handful targeted by the New York Times!
The NYT article was entitled Godwin’s Law Comes to the Town Halls, and it attempts to prove that millions of Americans are making unsubstantiated associations between Obama (or Democrats) and Nazi’s or Hitler, that they are motivated by racism, and that racism is also the driving force behind the dissenters in the town halls.
As evidence, it cites my dispassionate intellectual article that primarily defines Fascism. My article also makes a secondary point about the fascist tendencies of the Democrats, but it does not compare anyone to Nazi’s or Hitler.
Perhaps the NYT didn’t notice that I wrote my article on April 3rd – four months before the town halls began. The NYT apparently also didn’t notice that there was nothing racist in my article or anywhere else on my site.
Could this attack by the NYT be a coincidence? Could the NYT really believe that my undiscovered site somehow proves something about the beliefs of millions of Americans who have not yet discovered it?
Are we supposed to believe that the NYT author did a Google search for “Obama fascism OR Nazi”, which returned 10,100,000 web pages, and then after reviewing millions of pages, decided that my site was one of the best examples to prove his main thesis?
Astronomically unlikely.
Or… could it be that the White House used the NYT in what it thought was a smart move against a dissenter? Did the most powerful government in the world, use the most powerful newspaper in the world, to attack the least powerful blogger in the world?
Yeah. That’s not fascism.
Feel…
the power …
of the Dark Side.

"Racism" is such a convenient charge to level against anyone who doesn't agree with the leftist totalitarian party line. It's used even where race can't possibly be involved. Perhaps there should be a corollary to Godwin's law: "When someone points out the malfeasance of a leftist, the probability of that leftist accusing someone of racism approaches 1."
