The American Mind

Mike Stark who garnered attention last year to stalking Sen. George Allen slinked his way into CPAC Friday.

After pulling off his creepy stunt he had the audacity to complain there more not military recruiters signing up college kids:

There are no military recruiters here. No United States Marine Corps. No Army, no Navy, no Air Force or National Guard - hell, not even the Coast Guard is here. Thousands and thousands of College Republicans, but not a single recruiter in sight…

Why?

Well, I have a theory or two (Michelle Malkin doesn’t agree with me, but more on that later).

Let’s try this: CPAC didn’t want to be embarrassed when pictures were released that showed recruiters standing around looking lonely. Similarly, recruiters know it’s a better investment of their time to troll “the other malls” rather than to recruit these nice white college boys.

Stark showed up at Bloggers’ Row this morning. I missed him, but Ed Morrissey didn’t take his bait:

He brought his weak-assed crap to me and started going into his schtick. I stopped him and told him to go back to Huffington Post. He looked taken aback to be greeted with nothing more than tired disgust, and said, “I thought we were peers.” Uh, no, Mike, we’re not peers. You’re a provocateur and a self-involved assault artist. Jeralyn Merritt, John Aravosis, James Boyce, and other real thinkers on the Left are my peers.

Stark slunk off after I refused to play his little game, probably to write something about how mean-spirited conservative bloggers can be, or maybe to plan his next performance-artist event. Anyone who finds this kind of mischief supportable has rocks in his head.

By publishing his rant The Huffington Post only encourages Stark to stalk Right-wingers. Just like conservatives should call out Ann Coulter for her offensive verbal bombs the Left must tell Stark he’s a foolish, twisted freak.
