Andrew Sullivan, wrong again
On September 26, 2009, Andrew Sullivan, writes: “No Suicide: That’s the one thing we know for certain now in the case of the Kentucky lynching…But the most worrying possibility – that this is Southern populist terrorism, whipped up by the GOP and its Fox and talk radio cohorts – remains real.”
A U.S. Census worker found dead in a secluded Clay County cemetery killed himself but tried to make the death look like a homicide, authorities have concluded.
Bill Sparkman, 51, of London, might have tried to cover the manner of his death to preserve payments under life-insurance polices that he had taken out. The policies wouldn’t pay off if Sparkman committed suicide, state police Capt. Lisa Rudzinski said.
“We believe it was an intentional act on his part to take his own life,” said Rudzinski, who helped lead the investigation.
Apparently, when not investigating Palin’s uterus, Sullivan is content with making up causal accounts for which he has no evidence. Andrew, if you have an ounce of Catholic moral theory remaining in your bones, discard the slanderous speculations and return to that in which you used to excel: offering careful arguments with respect and rigor.
No Apology: That’s the one thing we know for certain now in the case of this case of Andrew Sullivan crying wolf…But the most worrying possibility – that this is just more partisan hyperbole, whipped up by the Daily Dish and the liberal blogosphere and MSM cohorts – remains real.
I know Sarah Palin’s uterus did this crime too. Either it killed Sparkman or was in on the insurance fraud.
I would like some evidentiary justification for the proposition that A. Sullivan “used to excel” at “offering careful arguments with respect and rigor.”
Andrew Sullivan blames Michelle Malkin for misquoting him:
Being Andrew Sullivan means never having to say you are sorry. He is a malicous hybrid of Michael Scott and George Costanza (who likes beagles and who is happens to be gay too). Don’t worry, somehow Trig was involved in this crime. Just give Sullivan a chance to show you.
Michelle Malkin gives Andrew Sullivan a good whoopin over Sullivan’s Southern Man hyperbole over the Bill Sparkman death. Nicely stated Michelle.
All this means is that the police who investigated this death are in on the right-wing conspiracy.
