For example, Julian Assange you
know that he's been wanted for some time in Sweden for questioning on
accusations of rape, sexual molestation and unlawful coercion brought by
two women in Stockholm. So he's fled and he's been in Britain which
wants to extradite him to Sweden and he fought court cases and he lost
court cases and so now he has taken refuge in and been given asylum by
Ecuador in their Embassy in London from whence he holds forth denouncing
women in Sweden as feminists -- denouncing Sweden as feminist -- Ah,
take that Sweden! -- and posturing himself as a martyr to free speech
and journalism because he claims the US is vamping on him because of
WikiLeaks of classified documents. But the interesting thing to me now
is that this great champion of press freedom and martyr to it taking
refuge in Ecuador's embassy. The current president of Ecuador Rafael
Correa and his regime -- it's a leftist regime but it is authoritarian
-- has been accused of persecuting and jailing journalists who
criticize him and his policies. So I'd like to know what part of "no"
and what part of cognitive dissonance Julian does not understand? So
many troglodytes so little time.
