Seattle Paper Publishes Pictures and Addresses of Homes With McCain Signs
-By Warner Todd Huston

Like Obama, the folks that run The Stranger “newspaper” in Seattle are all about tolerance… as long as you believe the same things they believe. If you don’t, well, then you deserve intimidation and a good “outing.” just as Obama has tried to intimidate radio talk show hosts, just like he has tried to use the office of the Attorney General to quash political free speech, The Stranger publication has decided that the best way to force citizens of Seattle to toe the far left political line is to have their homes photographed and their addresses made public for the outrageous crime of having a McCain/Palin sign on their property.
Editorial Director Dan Savage, another boring Seattle gay activist, has helmed this intimidation disguised as “humor” in order to attack his political opposition. Good thing ol’ Danny is all “tolerant” and stuff, isn’t it?
The feature was supposed to be a “funny” take on the Halloween “horrors” of homes that have political signs prominently displayed. But, what the end result actually relays is a different kind of horror. This article indulges in exactly the sort of behavior it pretends to despise. What is more intolerant than publicly ridiculing someone, ginning up hatred for them, and then publishing a photo and the address of their home? What is the purpose of this? Is it so that the more unhinged of your putative political compatriots can know just where to go to… what? Take revenge? Perhaps damage private property? Maybe worse?
The article starts off with this phrase: “Cobwebs and witches are for children and morons.” I would counter to Dan Savage that political intimidation and endangering people because of their views is for Stalinists and Nazis.
Apparently Savage is not only this editor’s last name, it is his creed.

Looks like the wimps over at the gay centered “newspaper” The Stranger don’t have the courage of their convictions, amusingly enough. They’ve pulled their story and re-directed the link to The Drudge homepage.
Apparently, the Stranger folks just can’t take the scorn any more. They know what they did was indefensible and now they are pretending it never existed.
One thing is sure. If I had a dollar for every time the curse word f_ _k appeared in this “newspaper” I could comfortably retire after but a month of issues. Apparently literacy is a four letter word to these high-minded inteleckshuals.
If you’d like to read the text Hell Houses, the story from The Stranger, G’Willie over at GEOBENT took the time to reproduce it before the “newspaper” took it down.

I wouldn’t worry, these aren’t people who are known for physical courage. The time is coming soon when we will have a real showdown with the editors, playwrites, sculptors, and philosophy professors. I wonder who will start crying and running in fear?
All of them! (ò¿ó)
This “paper” is a joke and always has been. The only thing they ever said that was even remotely intelligent [but then as you will soon realize...I am biased...LOL] and didn’t even contain the “F” word….was when the editor said to me that I was “an extremely fine wordsmith but that I was playing for the wrong team”
I laughed off and on for hours…..
I mean, you have to consider the source….
But to my jaundiced eye it was the smartest thing they ever said, except for the “wrong team” part.
But that is The Stranger for you…even when they get it even a little “right” they are still wrong….
I live in Seattle, have a McCain sign on my window as well as one on my car that’s been there for over a year.
Having both of these is a continued reminder of how “open-minded” and “tolerant” liberals here in Seattle are. I have been flipped-off, screamed at, and sworn at because of my bumper sticker. I’m suprised my car has been vandalized.
My car is parked in front of where I work, so of course these “tolerant” people come inside and harass me, not to mention some of my coworkers, even though I tell these people it’s not appropriate to discuss politics at work.
You’re right: they’re only tolerant if you agree with them. Screw this, I’m moving somewhere where people have their heads screwed on straight!
Sounds like it is time for ‘STRANGER’ signs to be put in their yards by activists that don’t agree with there agenda. Let the FREEDOM of SPEECH begin! Havin’ it THEIR way.
