Imagine for the moment that I wrote this on a column on Tea Party Nation:
I have an idea. Let’s let Michael Vick keep Chelsea Clinton as a pet instead of a dog. It will be safer for the dog and maybe we will get the satisfaction of having Vick electrocute Chelsea. You know, after more than 30 seconds with Chelsea, Vick will be lunging for the cattle prod.
Vick gets a pet to torture and we get rid of Chelsea. A win-win for everyone.
Next, imagine what the reaction would be. The liberals would come unglued. There would be calls for my prosecution. There would be calls that this website be shut down and who knows what else.
The funny thing is, something very similar to this happened last Friday. Only, instead of Chelsea Clinton being named as the pet to be for Michael Vick, it was Sarah Palin. On Salon.Com, someone posted a letter to the editor, using the pseudonym of Owen Meany, a character from a John Irving novel.
Here is what was said on Salon.com.

As of this evening, Salon.com had finally deleted this post, though an Internet search for Owen Meany looks like he still has his account at Salon.com.
There is, of course, not a peep of outrage about Owen Meany on Salon. Can you imagine if a Tea Party member had said something like that about a liberal? It would be all over the Internet. Heck, stuff Tea Party members do not say ends up on liberal websites, regardless.
Meany is clearly a frustrated, disturbed individual. His letters on Salon.com are obscenity filled tirades. My question is, after this, why is he still a member on Salon.com? Why is he still allowed to post? Why has Salon.com not posted an apology for this outrage?
If you have ever had the misfortune of reading Salon.com, it is clearly a violation of your Eighth Amendment rights against cruel and unusual punishments. And if you have ever had the misfortune of reading Salon.com, you know the answer to all of those questions.
