FREEDOM OF SPEECH FOR ME but not for thee.

The Washington Post’s Colbert I. King vociferously decried the (still alleged) “hateful acts” of the Tea Partiers is his Post column and commentary on WTOP radio. So I decided to ask him for comment on the verified hate speech from his side of the political aisle that I wrote about in my “stay classy” post. I went to the Post web site, found the writer feedback link [hint: it isn’t easy to find], and wrote:

Since you have been so vocal about the (still unverified) "racism" at the Capitol grounds Tea Party rally last month, perhaps you'd care to respond to the bigots on your side of the political fence here and here?

The response? In entirety:

We're sorry, but we don't have a contact information on file for the person you'd like to contact.

The Washington Post doesn’t have – or allow – contact with one of it’s own columnists? Does righteous indignation bruise his fragile ego?

I’d suggest that the Post quit protecting him: if the poor baby can’t take the heat, perhaps he should stay out of the kitchen.
