Status

Jeff Goldstein (the thinking man’s Argus Hamilton), having had his family threatened, and subsequently having been the target of repeated Denial-of-Service attacks, has now achieved a status that in future will undoubtedly earn him great deference from the Left: he is now a victim.
To members of the political Left, being a victim is like having a Platinum AmEx card and never having to pay it off. It’s like Chobham armor. It’s as good as having a fusion-powered bullhorn.
Therefore:
It is henceforth forbidden to gainsay Jeff. He is a victim.
His opinions on all matters must be respected. He is a victim.
Those who criticize Jeff for any reason at all may be mere insensitive cretins, but odds are they’re card-carrying Nazis. Because, of course, Jeff is a victim: blameless and praiseworthy.
. . . .
What’s that you say? He’s one of those “neo-cons”?
Never mind.
Update: Heh.
