(Note to literalists: the Watched column presently contains only a smattering of 'warblogs' because the facilitator of the template-change--Dr. Menlo--is not very familiar with them, and will be adding more as they are sent to him. Also, this blog may contain areas of allusion, satire, subtext, context and possibly even a dash of the surreal: wannabe lit-crits beware.)

WARBLOGGER WATCH
Friday, September 20, 2002
Lummox Taranto shows exactly what kind of mastery of logic one must have to receive nomination for an ONA Online Journalism Award. Unable or unwilling to engage Not in Our Name's stance against the war, the Lummox writes, "Similar sentiments [to NION's statement of conscience] are on offer at the Web Site of the World Church of the Creator, an outfit the Anti-Defamation League in 1999 declared the "fastest growing hate group in America." Actually, the statements are quite dissimilar, both in content and tone, as is plain in the passages the Lummox cut-and-pasted. Poor stuff, Lummox, though this "display [of] an original voice, freshness of insight and clear writing" does compare favorable with the rest of the field. posted by Anonymous10:26 PM
