Then it was discovered several persons DID, and were killed for their efforts. <br /><br />Now Arglebargle suggests the little children should have charged the killer. The school's president <i>did so,</i> and was shot dead.<br /><br />She doesn't live in a bubble, she's living in a waking coma.

Yes, she's an awful writer, but this wasn't an <i>artistic</i> failure; it but was a lack of intellect and humanity.<br /><br />It's also important to look at her imbecilic and monstrous comment in <i>context</i>. Some folks have argued, 'hey, in some situations rushing the shooter is your best option, even if it also sucks.' Fine. But McMegan proposed this, and did so <i>in earnest</i>, after dismissing a host of completely reasonable, practical and effective methods for reducing gun violence. As a few people have noted, this is classic libertarianism: attacking the practical and effective (and democratic) on the grounds of ideology (and personal privilege), while arguing instead for something completely impractical, ineffective, and contrary to human nature.Batocchiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02193752396025012825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2222630007427380394.post-68351217047039770582012-12-21T15:48:43.817-06:002012-12-21T15:48:43.817-06:00If so many people are misreading her, perhaps she ...If so many people are misreading her, perhaps she is not actually a very good writer. <br /><br />A possibility she may not have considered. fishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01522672049371678717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2222630007427380394.post-44758885573890942422012-12-21T14:39:03.927-06:002012-12-21T14:39:03.927-06:00I suspect we'd have fewer suicide deaths if we...I suspect we'd have fewer suicide deaths if we taught young people to get Megan fired.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2222630007427380394.post-19784922966357161512012-12-20T22:16:38.297-06:002012-12-20T22:16:38.297-06:00Arglebargles' backtracking and lame-o lies are...Arglebargles' backtracking and lame-o lies are as usual as unbearable as her original "comments".<br /><br />So- right smack in the middle of a blog about the horrific mass-murder of 5 year olds, she advocated that <i>teenagers</i> "rush" a killer, even tho it probably wouldn't work, since nothing really works does it? <br /><br />Say what?<br /><br />She's incapable of feeling humiliation, unless maybe she finds out her kitchen gadget is a fake/knockoff.

Those of us who are blight...Another winner, Susan.<br /><br />Those of us who are blighted by a deep knowledge of McArdle's canon (or is it cannon?) aren't surprised by any of these fresh contortions. After her initial post on Newtown, I sent a letter to her bosses and posted it in her comments section. (No idea if it's still there, because I don't want to boost her hits count, which must already be in the stratosphere.) I noted that her modest proposal was clearly not made in jest, but that she might try to claim it was if her job was in jeopardy. Some friends of mine sent similar letters. And yet, I doubted she'd actually resort to such an obvious excuse, because running at full-speed away from the obvious is part of her brief as a crank. <br /><br />I've read a lot of comments despairing of Tina Brown doing the obvious thing: firing McArdle. If worthy fame isn't on the rack, Brown will settle for wearing infamy, the thinking goes, and the almighty click will win the day. But Brown is a businessperson, presiding over a fragile enterprise, mulling whether or not to adopt a pay-for-play model for publishing content. If Cerberus could be persuaded that Bushmaster, a hot brand enjoying booming sales after Newtown, was simply too risky a holding for the long term, Tina Brown can be persuaded that McArdle isn't worth keeping. So, if you haven't already done so, I hope you'll send your comprehensive takedowns to editorialATthedailybeast.com.
