Ok

Man writes a column on Wal-mart, its affect on the poor and the use of offshore operations. He references that one of column's subjects worked for John Kerry, reminding us that Kerry used the despicable term "Benedict Arnold CEOs" by calling him "John 'Benedict Arnold' Kerry" to burnish the guy's credentials as a fighter for the poor. Idiot, sorry, I mean Atrios, takes this as a random libel of Kerry as a traitor. One of his commenters points out the 'misunderstanding', and Atrios' response (in the comments) is to facetiously deny that the allusion had anything to do with the column, so his outrage was justified. He hasn't even put up a note on his post to at least let people who don't remember the reference know that there was some reason for it to be there. Wanker. (via Balko)
