That’s gay
Marko wrote the excellent Why The Gun Is Civilization. It shot up all over the internet and was mis-attributed to a marine major. Heck, even Neal Boortz read it on the air and attributed it incorrectly. But now, the gun-toting scientologists are using it in their advertisements.
Apparently, and I found this quite interesting, the stolen and mis-attributed version omits one word.
On the bright side, I guess Marko is kinda famous.

I’ve sent an e-mail to the man pictured to the right. He is a noted gun advocate/writer.
Hi Alan,
I just saw you on C-Span giving a talk on April 8th 2008.
You said, “Guns save hundreds of thousands of lives a year.”
You said this after describing a situation in which a women killed her intruder.
I think this claim needs to be fully explored for veracity because if it is true, we gun control advocates will need to take pause.
If on the other hand, this statement is off by say 99.9%, then it is arguably a lie. As a non-fiction writer, your moral and ethical integrity are in question.
I’ve posted this e-mail on our blog so that you may defend your statement publicly. Please go there to respond.
Thanks
Cliff

Cliff, are you retarded? There is no one pictured on the right. I mean, I realize you’re spamming to draw comments to your site (after all, you did leave the same comment twice) but for fuck’s sake, make your spam make sense!

Ah, googlebombing for astroturf…

Except that comments get tagged with nofollow, so google ignores them.

It’s like he fails at Internets.

Why not, he failed at logic and morality.
