Cases in points, our last sad pile on, read by no one.

First you can find all our scathing, insensitive, odious and loathsome Ben Domenech coverage here.

Second, we’d like to illustrate:

No worries, Ben. (nt) By: trevino
Ben By: Mike D in SC
I do not know you personally, but I wish that I did. We all make mistakes, especially in the second half of our first score of years. In my own case, it took Navy boot camp at age 20 (more than half my life ago) to get me to start behaving like a responsible adult.It takes a great deal of courage and character to stand up in a public forum and admit your mistakes, and to ask forgiveness. It is the most difficult, and yet the best course of action. You have done the right thing with this post. And this is where the healing begins.

Learn and grow from your errors. And please, continue to post here. You are surrounded by friends here, the ones who know you personally, and the ones, like me, who only know you through our online interactions. These are the people to whom you can turn for support.

As I commented to your father in another thread, you are a valuable asset to this site. Were RedState to lose your talents, it would be that much poorer for it.

If you feel the need for a hiatus, then by all means, take the time you need. We will await patiently for your return. But Ben, please do return. We need your intelligent, insightful, and talented voice in our struggle to make America a better place.

As far as I’m concerned… By: realamerican
there’s no apology necessary.  But it speaks incredibly well of you that you would offer one, regardless.  Good luck, and you’ll be in my prayers.

In no particular order, we shall tackle this swatch of Red State wallpaper samples.

Also Mike D with the masterplan (oooh, God Damn!), who the **** uses the term “score” for two decades anymore, other that pretentious, overwrought chumpsticks?  I’m disappointed a lo and an ere were not used too.  Also, don’t you really mean “the fourth quarter of our first score”? That’s getting sloppy.

Second, thank goodness realamerican is gonna fire up the broadband to C. J.C. to intercede for our fallen hero.  I can only imagine the laudry list going back to Watergate co-conspirators.
Third, that trevino, love that guy.  Just don’t move while I call Munchwagon Control for a tranq dart filled with Thorazine.  Explain to me why people always used to talk about him being reasonable, besides the lonely fact that he’s not this cockmuffin?
Moral of the story “personal responsibility” is for suckers, crackheads, and unwed mothers.  “Youthful indiscretion” is for the Gee-Dee Poster Boy of Patriarchy.

Future excuses for Ben crimes:

Flaming cross on neighbor’s lawn: campfire for smores/someone pissed on a cross once and that was called art, also mind your incivil partisan discourse!

Huge unsupported plagiarized smears: freedom of expression/responsible speculation, they didn’t like me anyway so that is a motive for obscure and improbable crimes, also somebody in a 500 comment thread at Eschaton (probably a RedState troll) called me a motherf*cker, which I will then restate as being accused of having a sexual realtionship with my mother.

Massive, steaming piles of crap shoveled constantly upon the heads of Americans: speaking truth to power.

And in our last word on matter, please see von at Obsidian Wings giving an example of sheer and complete partisanship.  His complete and total blinders to Domenech’s actual actions define partisanship.  Von thinks he needs to defend Ben as a conservative, but he’s not he’s defending Ben as a partisan, and his devil’s advocacy in the matter takes the hostess snack cake out of our shocked and slackened jaws.

    You’re so beautiful to me when you’re beating up chumps, you know?

    It’s bizarre to me how difficult it is for some people to just admit that theft is actually wrong.

    What of course is telling in all this is that when right-wing wankers like Ben get caught with both hands in the frigging cookie jar, other RWWs line up to say, aw, it’s not that bad, at least he didn’t kill somebody or something. Conversely, when a left wing wanker does the same thing, we liberals don’t try to defend the wanker (not that we should) while the conservatives pile on the left wing wanker as if he/she had just had non-consensual sex with Laura Bush, Barney and Ms. Beazley all at the same time.

  3. 3 Clif

    Merciful God, I was just kidding when I said in the previous comment that the conservatives say about folks like Ben that at least he didn’t kill anyone. I was just over at Racist State and Krapansky, or whatever the f**k his name is, said just that. These folks certainly put the capital W in Wanker, don’t they?

  4. 4 Demogenes Aristophanes

    Some clown over at Pharyngula is trying to change the subject from Ben to Martin Luther King. His line: now that we all agree how bad plagiarism is, when are we going to stop celebrating a holiday for MLK, who also plagiarized.

    As if MLK, who had feet of clay, is any way, EVAR, comparable to Ben, who is MADE of clay.

    I hesitate to use the word ‘crypto-racist’ very often. But … crypto-racist.

    I got my first score in the fourth quarter, but I’d had a rough shooting night up to that point.

    These people think they are important and doing important work. Thus, they must never apologize for anything or they might be forced to recognize that they aren’t really doing much more than jerking it on the internet. Which is fine. That is basically all I do anyway. The difference is that I recognize that my silly little world is completely unimportant and still remember that apologies make everything better.

    Cuz I am like six or something. The unkown lunchmeat sandwich should be tossed to the dogs.

  7. 7 Pinko Punko

    But seriously Chuckles, you don’t title posts “onward” and talk about your “youthful exuberance” (crimes) of your tender first score of years.

    THE GUY IS AN EDITOR AT A PUBLISHING HOUSE- you have got to be kidding me.

  8. 8 teh l4m3

    That’s in part because he’s still indulging in “youthful exuberance” — that is to say, exciting activities illegal in many states.

  9. 9 thebewilderness

    No one could have predicted that there would be such an uproar over adding a liar and thief to the WAPO lineup. I’m sure it was in the interest of balancing Froomkins biased facts. Grifters are just as entitled to be heard as anyone else, aren’t they?

  10. 10 Chuckles

    Were someone ot ever pin a crime to me involving fish filets or frozen disks of urine, #Bulls! can be damn sure I am using the youthful exuberance defense.
