Pop quiz! After the world learns of an incident where one of your employees karate-chopped a black woman and called her a “nigger,” would you:
- Immediately call a press conference to reassure the public that the two anti-immigration groups you head up are not, in fact, racist.
- Immediately write an essay where you accuse the blogosphere of becoming “a modern day lynching by a faceless, angry, ignorant mob.”
If you’re Bay Buchanan, you choose door number two, and you practically kick it down. On the one hand, I actually do feel bad for Marcus Epstein (the half-Jewish, half-Korean ninja-wannabe). He had real problems, and I’m certainly not a model citizen when I’m drunk, either–and let’s be honest, it’s tailor-made lefty tablog-fodder, so of course it’s going to get blown sky-high.
But damn. A lynch mob. Way to stamp out that fire, Ms. Buchanan.
