I'm on boycott here (as Kos correctly referred to it as), so I'm going to keep this short. I think everyone knows that I was going to respond to what happened, that's why I'm writing this now, and I'll be on boycott again.
I'm going to keep it short (at least short for me).
Most here know what I think happened at MyDD, and who did it, and what the reasons were behind it. You can find it on the rec list right now if you aren't up to speed.
My name is what I said it was on Hillaryis44 site: Paul F. Villarreal.
I'm not:
- Taylor Marsh
- A GOP operative (sorry, Geekesque)
- Anyone else, including Rush Limbaugh, etc.
If you want to know who I am, you can find out pretty easily.
Why did I say who I was?
Because I'm tired of what I consider to be the fascistic tactics being used by Obama supporters. Someone has to stand up to the bullying, and I think most people understand that I am the kind of person who would fit that bill. I'm seen people get death threats, pictures posted of people and people then being asked to harass that person, everything.
Enough.
Stalin might have started out a leftist, but look where he ended up. Then look in a mirror.
There is something unbelievably ugly and pernicious that is happening during this primary season. You think, many of you, that it is because of people like me. I think that it is because of people who own and run blogs, and people in the MSM who might want to read some Shelby Steele.
Whatever.
The bottom line is, it's happening. And we are breaking down in ways that make the right-wing very happy.
So celebrate tonight. I will not be here, and I will not be on MyDD (I don't do other usernames games; not me). You will be rid of me as you hoped, many of you.
But think about what I am saying here and what I have said elsewhere. The feelings and passion I have are real, and there are many others who feel just as I do. We're serious, and we're upset. And we're determined.
I will be back, soon. But not here, and not on MyDD. Not right now, anyway. If you want to find me, you will. If not, best of luck to Senator Obama now and if he is nominated for the general election.
I'm not breaking down, melting down, or anything else. I'm the same person I always was and have been. The same person who congratulated the Obama supporters on the night of the Potomac Primaries and who can step back and see the big picture at any time. But I'm a pit-fighter when it comes to politics and things I believe in. And that's what people like and hate about me. I understand that.
Ok, take care. Enjoy my humiliation tonight, and take care of yourselves. Some I will see soon, some later.
Oh, and the diary which I had which got linked to The Hotline insider mag and virtually every right-wing site on earth? I did not make the video inside of it. Someone told me that the diary was discussed in the Wall St. Journal's print edition. I have no idea if that is true, and had no idea about the massive linking to the diary until I stumbled upon it while doing a Google search for Hillary Clinton. Things went from there. I had no intent for it to be used/linked like that, and I offered it to nobody. They saw it, they took it. You have to remember, A LOT of media are looking at these sites, so what you say matters. And that is a good and bad thing. Would I post that diary again? Of course I would, and all of you would expect nothing else from me.
If you look at it from the Wall St. Journal/Hotline/instapundit... angle, I understand why MyDD did what they did, as I explained over at Hillis44. It all fits now, makes sense now. I know media and politics, and they did what they thought they had to do. No hard feelings (well, maybe a little with JS :)). Seriously, I bear no ill will to them or anyone here, including all admins, C/E's or Kos himself. Yes, that includes DHinMI. ;)
You're all good people who have to make tough decisions. All of us do, even me.
Take care and see you soon enough.

I'm not sticking around for the comments, to let you know. I have to be a good boycotter. ;)
