I've witnessed a lot of hate speech on OS lately and, frankly, I'm fed up with it. Fortunately, much of it has already been exposed and condemned. But not all.

The worst attacks have been directed against my friend and fellow blogger, Dennis Loo.

Dennis is Professor of Sociology at California State Polytechnic Univer-sity. He has written extensively about the Bush and Obama administrations. He is smart, knowledgeable, and articulate. Sometimes I agree with him; sometimes I don't. But I admire him immensely and I will defend his right to express his views. 

Criticizing others is fine, but lying about them is not. Which is why I am furious when bloggers accuse Dennis of supporting the Bush Administration's policy on torture. The accusations are false, malicious, and racist. Dennis has consistently opposed torture and supported the rule of law. 

So for those of you who keep propagating lies about him, I have one comment:

YOU'VE  GOT  THE  WRONG  CHINESE  GUY,  DOUCHEBAGS !!!

The person you should be criticizing is John Yoo, you freakin' morons.

Yoo served in the Office of Legal Counsel during the Bush Administration. He argued that "enemy combatants" should be denied prisoner-of-war status and he gave legal justification for waterboarding and warrantless wire-tapping.

Loo and Yoo are not the same. So for you geniuses who are struggling to high-jump the 80-I.Q. bar, here's a cheat sheet.

             Dennis Loo                                 John Yoo  

• does not like torture             likes torture
• smart                                           smart (and shifty)
• active member of OS            wouldn't piss on OS for a Rolex
• handsome                                  handsome (though I prefer Dennis)
• wears red shirt                         wears blue tie

Feel free to print this and put it in your wallet.

Oh, and next time you decide to attack a Chinese guy with a funny name, do me a favor and insult Yo-Yo Ma. I'd love to see him crack someone's skull with his $5 million cello!
