Ha! True story.
Earlier today, Media Matters’ Oliver Willis took a swipe at Jonah Goldberg over Goldberg’s 2008 book “Liberal Fascism”:
what jonah goldberg's historical revisionism re: nazis is all about http://t.co/08Notmb6ID pic.twitter.com/GeLlte5DbY

Of course, Willis refrained from including Goldberg’s Twitter handle. But unfortunately for him, Goldberg still found out about it — and promptly gave him what-for:
Hey @owillis https://t.co/E1YkqHLVHF I guess if you're so cowardly that you have to subtweet this b.s., you're too scared to debate too.
— Jonah Goldberg (@JonahDispatch) December 8, 2014
Fwiw, my response still holds up quite well, @owillis watch out for the big words. http://t.co/Y062XyC5RU

Ooo, snap!
Willis tried to play it cool:
i didnt subtweet @jonahnro i just dont need the influx of idiots who think nazis are socialist "because they called themselves that"

But he wasn’t fooling anybody:

@JonahNRO Give me a break. @owillis would pee in his knickers if he had to debate you, Jonah.

Yeah he would!
Parting food for thought:
It's a testament to my book's impact that these mouth breathers are still obsessed with it 6 years later.
— Jonah Goldberg (@JonahDispatch) December 8, 2014
Amen to that.
