Jonah Goldberg and Julian Assange

Jonah Goldberg, who claims to be against fascism (at least when it originates on the left), wants to know why Julian Assange of WikiLeaks "isn't dead." In case you missed it, he asks again, "Why wasn't Assange garroted in his hotel room years ago?"

Why would he expect (and apparently approve of) Assange's assassination? Because Assange has the nerve to provide the public information about the U.S. government's illegal wars -- information the government doesn't see fit to share with the American people or the world. So Goldberg reveals himself (if he had not done so earlier) as a State worshiper, with war as the State's most glorious activity.

Which prompts me to ask: Why would anyone be interested in anything Goldberg has to say from here on out?

  1. To have a major conservative pundit from the premier and most "respected" conservative journal in this country all but advocate for the murder of a political opponent isn't just par for the course. This is an ominous development.

  2. Goldberg is a short-hand explanation of precisely why and how I am not a conservative, my affinity for guns and pickup trucks notwithstanding.
