Julian Assange Has ‘Got the Editor of Time Magazine Hanging Breathlessly on His Every Word’

Posted on | December 2, 2010 | 27 Comments

That’s Allahpundit’s description of the biggest celebrity anti-American since Cindy Sheehan. Assange is like John Kerry, Bill Ayers and Alger Hiss rolled into one great big ball of adorable subversion. He’s as sexy as Che Guevara.

Julian Assange is to liberal journalists what Justin Bieber is to 11-year-old girls. He’s Sinatra at the Paramount, Elvis on the Ed Sullivan Show, the Beatles at Shea Stadium.

“Oh, please, Julian — it’s OK if I call you Julian, isn’t it? — please, release some more documents that will undermine America’s national security and, by the way, I want to have your babies.”

Pathetic, is what it is.

This guy is the Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of the Internet. Kim Jong Il with a blog.

The appropriate U.S. response to Julian Assange could be summarized in four words: Predator drone. Hellfire missile.

And then let all these damned journalistic apostles of “transparency” try to get an exclusive interview with the smoking crater.

Yeah. I wrote that. And put it on the Internet.

UPDATE: Does Assange face arrest in Britain?

UPDATE II: The noose tightens.

    You’re in for it now boss. The libertarian wing of the blogosphere jumped all of my butt for saying essentially the same thing. They love the little poofter because he’s a “dissident” who’s a champion for “free speech” and “truth”.

    OT but this just in… another FAIL of the Obama so-called “administration”… Soccer World Cup 2022 will be hosted in Qatar…

    Screw ‘em. WikiLeaks went from bankruptcy from international fame overnight because of that disgusting worm, Bradley Manning. And now they’ve hacked the State Department, releasing extraordinarily damaging classified material.

    OK, so who’s footing the bill for WikiLeaks now, huh? What, they’ve got Google ads? No, hell, no. They’ve got some Sugar Daddy paying the tab, and what that patron wants is to screw up U.S. national security.

    “Transparency,” my ass.

    Shoot the messenger?

    The USA has a two-party system: the Democrats and the Demagogues. All the McCains I know of belong to the latter.

    Way to go all East Germany!

    I can’t wait until all these cries for his head come back to haunt us with an Internet crackdown and a few 1st Amendment infringements. But screw it, Assange’s head is worth giving the government more power and losing some “non-essential” liberty.

    I think we’re looking at this thing the wrong way.

    Assange has raised Hillary’s blood pressure more than even Monica Lewinsky ever did. And because of her control-freak misuse of US diplomats as identity thieves, even liberals like David Corn and Jack Shafer wonder if she should resign!

    C’mon, folks! This is priceless!

    Besides, the same ruling elite that overtaxes us, forces us to strip to fly a plane, illegally monitors our communications, and steals from us to reward its rich friends has been revealed to be a bunch of liars and crooks.

    Delightful political theatre! I want more!

    What are you, ignorant, stupid, or just blindly partisan? We’re already getting the Internet crackdown and the first amendment violations, and there’s good reason to think that the O-bots would play Stasi if they thought they could get away with it. Besides, given his poor judgment, Assange is on track to piss off Putin and the FSB, who will be more than happy to off him in a manner that will leave no proof but plenty of reason to believe they did the deed.

    They’re right. If the government is going to prosecute him, they need to prosecute the NYT, Der Spiegel and all the other papers that printed the cables too.

    So much hyperbole from the right. The constutionalists sure didn’t last long. We drop bombs all over the Middle East for most of the last 50 years, and we’re suddenly worried that some snarky memos are going to upset people, even driving them to the point of terrorism?

    The mind boggles.

    Same old players, same old playbook now that the election is over. Just cry “terrorist!” and watch the TEA Party cheer for more big government.Believing that the government is going to keep us safe is as backwards as believing they’re going to make us rich.

    If Wikileaks had hacked the State Department, they would be guilty of a crime. But you’re the first person I’ve heard make that assertion.

    Truth is only treason in an empire of lies.

    Partisan? OMG! And you’re substituting for Smitty?

  • Anonymous

    I’m doing some of the stuff he did while he’s off in Ashcanistan. Smitty is unique enough that I don’t think anyone could really substitute for him, and I make no pretense of doing so. You will note that his smiling face remains atop the blog, while I, as Unpaid Blog Intern, muddle around in a strictly textual manner.

    Glenn Beck presents evidence that George Soros is funding Wikileaks. MediaMatters says Beck is lying. So who are you going to believe Beck or MediaMatters?

  • Anonymous

    I love that little poofter — so far everything that’s been released has shown that our own government has been lying to us, and has given conformation to everything conservatives have been screaming about for years. Yes the Saudis are funding al-Qaeda, yes Putin is a corruptocrat, yes, the Chinese are helping Iran nuke up, … yes, yes, yes! And that’s just the beginning, there’s hundreds of thousands more cables to come. Finally some truth instead of all the lies we get from the MSM.

    And in a strange, almost ironic twist, turns out that you’re actually on the liberal Time side of the aisle here: http://swampland.blogs.time.com/2010/12/01/wikileaks/

    “I am tremendously concernced [sic] about the puerile eruptions of Julian Assange. . . . If a single foreign national is rounded up and put in jail because of a leaked cable, this entire, anarchic exercise in “freedom” stands as a human disaster. Assange is a criminal. He’s the one who should be in jail.”

    Wow – aren’t you an official sidekick here? What’s up with the name-calling?

    Here’s a quote directly from the transacript of Beck’s show, taken directly from Beck’s site:

    “I want you to listen carefully because this monologue is going to be taken out of context. Here’s what people are going to say. “Glenn Beck says George Soros is behind WikiLeaks.” That is not what I am saying. Could I make it any clearer?

    Read more: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,602342,00.html#ixzz171aeoLiR ”

    Apparently he did indeed need to make it clearer.

    Nope, just an unpaid blog intern. I’m sure if Stacy has a problem with my posting he’ll tell me, and if you have a problem with my commenting, you can either HTFU or find some other, more congenial comments section to whine in. I call ‘em as I see ‘em.
