After I posted links to the Daily Kos and Democratic Underground yesterday where various moonbats were floating conspiracy theories that Bush ordered New York Times reporter David Rosenbaum’s death, a large number of lefties wrote back to say some of the comments at my mom’s site, Lucianne.com, were beyond the pale too. One should note that this isn’t a rebuttal of any kind, merely a “so’s your mom!” kneejerk response (literally in this case, as the capacity for certain lefties to insult my mother in grotesquely personal terms appears to be limitless). Whatever hypocrisy people may or may not see in my calling attention to the Kossites and Democratic Underground Dwellers is in no way a defense of their own statements.

Nevertheless, I should say that I agree that some of the posts at Lucianne.com about Rosenbaum were inappropriate, unfunny and uncharitable. Many other LDotters said as much. And I doubt my mother would disagree (she can’t read, let alone censor, every post she disagrees). But, while some of the posts were in poor taste, they weren’t, in fact, deranged and paranoid which was the essence of my implied criticism of the Democratic Undergound types in the first place. And lastly, I’m not my mother’s keeper, nor she mine.
