One of my favorite bloggers is Jeff Goldstein of Protein Wisdom. Jeff has the sense of humor that just draws me in time and time again. Plus, the man has a way of dissecting bullshit in a calm manner that I just cannot fathom.

I’m a terrible writer. I really am. My brain thinks much faster than my fingers can pound out letters on the keyboard (and you should see how fast I can type). So many times when I sit down to write a post regarding something I’m passionate about, it comes out all garbled. While the logical thinking inside my brain is fairly solid, my writing style doesn’t allow the details to come out properly, and it looks like I’m talking out of both sides of my ass at the same time. Many (and I do mean many) of my posts end up in the Recycle Bin rather than on the blog.

Getting back to Goldstein, and this might be a major shock to a lot of you, but he’s a Jew. Now, as far as my non-Jewish ass understands, that either means his mother is Jewish, or that he converted later in life. Regardless, he readily identifies himself as Jewish which means he takes a lot of crap from Anti-semitic racists. For a prime example, see the comments in this post where a troll ‘gandhi’ rattles off conspiracy theories and blames 9/11 on the JOOOOOs.

And Jeff lets the son of a bitch spew his hatred left and right.

I know that the best way to stop such assininity is to shine a spotlight on it and let people watch as the cockroaches scatter, but I can’t imagine allowing it like that. I don’t have the stomach to not hit that ‘Delete’ button. Part of it probably has to do with the fact that I can’t respond the way I want because of my inability to properly articulate my thoughts fast enough to remain clear.

People like this ‘gandhi’ are the anathema to society, to freedom, to life itself. It’s pure hatred all wrapped up in a smug wrapper of self righteousness. And creatures like that commenter (I dare not call them people) can’t see that they are the very thing they profess to abhor. God bless people like Goldstein who have the wit and nerve to not just break down and beat the ever-loving shit out of the ‘gandhi’s of the world. Lord knows I’m not sure I could.
