Lefty thugs threaten blogger Ann Althouse

Blogger Ann Althouse has been first hand blogging about the protest in Wisconsin. She has even served up some viral video on the events and tons of pictures. Apparently some of the pro union supporters preferred she didn't and have taken to making some ugly threats. The threats have been leveled to both Althouse and her husband Meade.

We will take it from the internet right to [Althouse's address removed]. Do you have any idea where you live? Let us spell it out for you.We understand that you like to eat on the square. You like the Baked Potato at the Old Fashioned, do you? There were five of us in there last Tuesday. You like to eat at Fresco? We’re in the Overture eating, serving, cooking, playing, and performing. At least twenty of us have worked for Food Fight. You like to fucking drink at FAIR TRADE do you? At FAIR TRADE? You are citizen-BANNED from Fair Trade. We will Walker you straight out of the place whenever you show up. We are at every coffee shop on State,open to close, all the time. We will hang up wanted posters of you everywhere you like to go. We will picket on public property as close to your house as we can every day.We will harrass(sic) the ever loving shit out of you all the time. Campus is OCCUPIED. State street is OCCUPIED. The Square is OCCUPIED. Vilas, Schenk’s Corners, Atwood, Willy Street – Occupied, Occupied, Occupied, Occupied. Did you really think it was all about the Capitol? Fuck the Capitol, we are the CITY.

I don't call this four page screed a threat, I call this is terrorism. By publishing her address and detailing her activities, this nut case isn't trying to warn Althouse, he is trying to terrorizer her.

The Underground Conservative has identified the author as Jim Shankman. The Other McCain has more info on Shankman.

As I have said a few times in the comments section, when the left ask for civility, just give them the finger and go on about your business.

In The Land of Make Believe or How to Get Big Hits to Your Blog

You all know that Clifton B loves watching the traffic at Another Black Conservative soar.  I watch my Sitemeter like a hawk.


Since I was forced to take some time off from my blogging, my site stats have been less than stellar and forget about getting on Memeorandum.  In the words of Sam from The Last Tradition: Memeorandum is treating me like an ugly stepchild. 


However, there is a way to get my totals sky high again. Simply make up a story that liberals will love.  One blogger did exactly that and is now rocking the top thread on Memeorandum.


This blogger concocted a story that Scott Walker was asked to leave a restaurant in Madison, WI.  The lefties ate it up like it was Manna from Heaven!  Unfortunately, a blogger decided to dig a little deeper and the story is looking like a complete hoax.  


Even though the story is false, this lefty blogger is still pulling in the traffic on Memeorandum.  Like Troglopundit, I want my own thread on Memeorandum too. So here goes my false story of the day: Sarah Palin and Scott Walker have a secret love child, and here is the picture to prove it.

Now give me the hits damn it!

Hippie Punching: The Professional Left Gets Testy

Ok boys and girls, we are going to learn a new phrase today.  It is called “Hippie Punching”!  In a testy exchange between David Axelrod and a  liberal bloggers this new phrase was born. Basically, the White House is using liberal bloggers to tame the unhappy base. This time though, the White House may have gone to the well one time too many.

The Plum Line:Top Obama adviser David Axelrod got an earful of the liberal blogosphere's anger at the White House moments ago, when a blogger on a conference call directly called out Axelrod over White House criticism of the left, accusing the administration of "hippie punching."

That tension burst out into the open when Madrak directly asked Axelrod: "Have you ever heard of hippie punching?" That prompted a long silence from Axelrod.[...]

"You want us to help you, the first thing I would suggest is enough of the hippie punching," Madrak added. "We're the girl you'll take under the bleachers but you won't be seen with in the light of day." 

So what exactly is “hippie punching”? Moe Lane at Red State seems to have the best definition I have seen so far.

[…]I assume it means “to smack around progressive activists, safe and secure in the knowledge that they lack the internal dignity, elementary sense of self-worth, and bare minimum of personal courage necessary to do anything about it.” […]

Oh, how right you are Moe Lane.  Instead of working directly with the White House to create synergy, the liberal bloggers would have best served their causes it they held the administration’s feet to the fire. Given their willingness to do the administration’s bidding, why shouldn’t the administration treat them like cheap whores?

This spat between the bloggers and the White House is just a taste of the fun to come after the November beat down. Come mid November, there will be Hippie Punching going on all over the place.  Popcorn at the ready, folks!
