Is Jonn the Harriet Tubman of IVAW?
A wise man once said:
Ladies and gentlemen, I’ll be brief. The issue here is not whether we broke a few rules, or took a few liberties with our female party guests – we did. But you can’t hold a whole blog responsible for the behavior of a few, sick twisted individuals. For if you do, then shouldn’t we blame the whole blog system? And if the whole blog system is guilty, then isn’t this an indictment of our media institutions in general? I put it to you, readers of TAH – isn’t this an indictment of our entire American society? Well, you can do whatever you want to us, but we’re not going to sit here and listen to you badmouth the United States of America, Gentlemen.
Now, like the Chewbacca Defense, that does not make sense. But, I report you decide:
Is Jonn Lilyea the Harriet Tubman of the IVAW movement?

This is pretty funny. I’m assuming the implication is that Jonn is analogous to Harriet Tubman because he’s helped free at least four real Iraq vets from the subjugation of IVAW. That is hilarious. It is also going to rile the feathers of the leftists in IVAW who think that their ideology has monopoly power over the concept of “social justice.”
They’re going to do two things. 1) Call you a racist. 2) Declare that the problem isn’t just an indictment of the American blogosphere or that particular society, but of the market economics that brought to fruition the dominance of alternative media such as “milblogs.”
How come I have a mullet?
Jonn,
I think that is a question you ought to be answering instead of asking.
