I’m not going to spend a lot more time on this one, but some intetesting and somewhat bizarre twists and turns make it worthy of one more post.

Yesterday I posted about the arrest of one Maurice Schwenkler, a 24 year old man charged with smashing out 11 windows at the Colorado Democratic Party headquarters in Denver. During the course of my post, I poked a bit of fun at the guy’s decidedly feminine appearance and wrote something to the effect of “believe it or not, that’s a dude”.

Well, believe it or not, out of all the other points in the story, that’s the one I got taken to task over.

A trackback came in on the original story today from an anarchist-type website, from a post called ” More Evidence That Mainstream Right-Wingers Are Morons“, in which the author takes several bloggers to task for not realizing who Maurice Schwenkler really was in terms of politics and, uh, gender identity.

From the article:

Alright, the really shitty news first. A transgendered anarchist woman was arrested last night, being accused of breaking out Democratic office windows. Why someone could possibly be angry at the democrats is, of course, completely beyond me. After all, they stopped the war in Iraq, ended corporate globilization, have moved swiftly to end fossil fuel use and minimize consumption… oh wait, no, of course not. And they never will. “Gee, I think the puppet on the left shares my beliefs,” “Well I like the puppet on the right.”

So in one fell swoop, democrat operative Maurice Schwenkler has become transgendered anarchist activist Ariel Attack.

Only in America, folks.

This is being covered to death elsewhere, so I’ll leave you with a couple of links before moving on to more pressing issues…. between the Maher and Malkin posts, pretty much all known aspects of this story are covered.
