Earlier this week, we told you about tomorrow’s planned National Day of Blogger Silence, an event meant to draw attention to the plight of conservative bloggers whose voices Kimberlin seeks to silence.
Wolcott, who fancies himself a blogger in his own right, took a few moments of his very precious time to accuse participating bloggers of going silent for nothing more than shameless self-promotion. Seems ol’ Jimmy’s getting a big kick out of the fact that there are conservatives whose lives are being endangered merely for exercising their right to free speech.
If the Internet seems less deranged tomorrow, credit the National Day of Blogger Silence, as RW bloggers go off the air in mute solidarity.

Thus depriving us of their usual hysterics in a protest vigil that cruelly cuts in2 Jeff Goldstein's latest fundraiser. http://t.co/nNYeDliQ

A nat'l Day of Silence is usually associated with the LGBT annual event, proof that there is nothing the rightwing won't shamefully hijack.

Like Seinfeld's Kramer, rightwing bloggers are taking a temporary vow of silence & will communicate their outrage thru the magic of mime.

Comparing conservative bloggers to Kramer? Oh, James … would that we could bottle that wit of yours, it’s so sparkling!
Please. Wolcott’s bloated self-importance has clearly muffled his conscience and impaired his sense of decency. For him to use such a somber occasion to mock those with whom he disagrees politically is truly disgraceful. Wolcott should be ashamed. And he should count his blessings that his own life isn’t being threatened by the likes of Brett Kimberlin; there are “deranged” conservative bloggers who aren’t nearly as lucky.
James Wolcott doesn’t deserve to call himself a blogger; he’s nothing more than a vicious coward.
