RBPundit, The Pussy... But, Popularity!
I was going to let it drop, but RB injected himself into another story he knows nothing about this afternoon. The following was in response to my Sandra Fluke piece in March: http://thegraph.com/2012/03/sandra-flukes-boyfriend/
- Earlier today someone pointed out RB's latest asshattery. I figured it was time to tell the story about RB, since he can't seem to stfu about me or The Trenches. Here's what RB tweeted today: https://twitter.com/RBPundit/status/218784276383137793
I was going to let it go for the sake of "unity," but RB keeps acting like I'm an enemy. Truth is, RB is a pathetic coward/deserter in this war. His response over the Fluke piece I wrote in March will demonstrate this.
7 Twitter DMs @RBPundit sent me the day that the Fluke piece got major traction:
1. "Nice job. Lefties are already pulling out the "jew hater" card. https://twitter.com/#!/tbogg/status/180118461085782017 "
2. "You should call out that @tbogg douche. He writes for FireDogLake."
3. "Aren't you part Jewish? (Can one be part Jewish?)" (I love this one. RB is clueless.)
4. "Excellent."
5. "Charles Johnson retweeted this. https://twitter.com/lizardoid/status/180126304635592704 It might be hammertime."
6. "So that means Boehlert will be joining in shortly. LOL!"
7. "Now I'm getting flack for tweeting out the story. You said "Jew" too many times. And this is from conservatives! Ugh!" (I love this one too. RB knows it's bullshit and he doesn't like it, but he doesn't stand up to them. Because, popularity!) - RB begins with "Nice job. Lefties are already pulling out the 'jew hater' card." RB, I wasn't really going for the jew-hater angle. As RB knows, my grandmother's family is Jewish. He sorta knows, because he's clueless about what makes someone Jewish with his "part Jewish" DM. He responds with "Excellent" when I remind him that my mom's mom is Jewish. Then he links to the ponytail proletariat's tweet in which Chuckles implies that I'm only concerned with Fluke's boyfriend's genetics. Then MMFA gets into the act. And finally, RB DMs me about how ridiculous it is that people on "our side" are butt-hurt about the Fluke piece over the number of times I use the word "Jew". Of course, no one gave a shit about the number of times I use the word Muslim or Islam in relation to the word "socialism" in this piece of mine: http://thegraph.com/2011/01/the-socialist-roots-of-the-egyptian-protests/
Then around 5 PM that afternoon, a few very insecure Jewish brethren started going after me publicly over the piece and let their pathetic victimhood flow all over my stream by attacking me with the aforementioned "antisemitic" nonsense too. - Here's how RBPundit responded to me via email over his "friends" attacking me - "friends" I might add, who've never done anything substantive in the fight against the professional left:
- Dude. I'm out.
Is what you're doing right now part of some planned thing? It's putting me in a tough spot. I'm all in on going after the Left but I also have a lot of friends who are seriously hating you right now.
I get that you don't give a shit about squishes who want to be in the "in" crowd more than doing something substantive but they're still potential allies.
What's going on? - SInce I'm anonymous online all I have is my word(s) and I can't support what you're doing right now. I'm not going to be all public about it either.
I've spent too much time building my presence online to have it bogged down over charges of anti-semitism... which I know isn't what you're doing, but it's gone beyond a rational discussion now and reason isn't going to fix anything at this point. - I haven't heard from RB since.
Yes, RB, your friends attacking me over my Fluke piece, that you were delighted to beat people over the head with all day, was a planned thing. I thought you were supposed to be smart boy.
I like the part where RB acknowledges that the piece wasn't antisemitic, but his "online presence" is so built-up that he can't have it bogged down by false charges (which he admitted was a false charge) of antisemitism coming from your "friends". Again, because popularity!
Did I get pissed off at RB over this? Not really pissed - surprised maybe. But, it opened my eyes to who the fighters really are, and who are just blowhards on Twitter.
RB knows I don't attack people unless they sling shit in my direction first, but he's over there playing hashtag games being too afraid to take on leftist activists directly. Sorry RB, tweeting all day doesn't count as "War". Why don't you try breaking a story? It's harder than it looks, Jr. And stop siding with pretend "conservatives" just because they're taking shots at me because you're too embarrassed to face the reality over your cowardice that fateful day that you decided popularity was more important than doing the right thing. You're nothing but a pussy, RB.
