Jesus Christ. For a brief moment there, P.Z. Myers had won us over with his robust
defense of free speech for skeptics; but then, after
Jared Lee Loughner went bonkers and that
abortion doctor got busted - wow. According to James Taranto at
The Wall Street Journal, P.Z. promptly climbed back aboard his turnip truck, just so he could
fall off of it again:Myers seems to think symbolic speech from his political foes is a worse offense than the actual killing of babies. His lack of perspective is so gross that it has led him to outright depravity.
Ouch. Ouch. And Ouch. As they say, read the whole thing for yourself.
Oh well. We wish we could say we're surprised, but we were calling Myers a
"clown" long before Taranto (apparently) even knew he existed. Still, it's a crying shame:
If P.Z. Myers wasn't
a crazy Liberal, he'd be brilliant.

Actually, the NY Times interviewed Loughner's friends, and they remembered him as very liberal. It also appears that like Myers, Loughner was anti-religious.
ReplyDeleteAfter describing how he dissected cats, mice, et al., I'm sure the animal rights folks will start making Myers life more miserable.
Don't serial killers get their start by torturing animals?
I always knew Myers mask would slip sooner or later.
ReplyDeleteP. Z. Myers?
ReplyDeleteNever heard of him.
Kinda looks like Eddie Van Halen gone to seed.
