ASKING THE IMPORTANT QUESTIONS: Is your birdwatching society racist?

Nope. Noooooooope. Cockburn isn’t going any further here. He isn’t even going to engage with the evidence. Cockburn does not believe, for even one fraction of a second, that a Manhattan-based environmental group for birdwatching enthusiasts is a hotbed of racism, heterosexism and all-around evilism.

Dig deeper into Politico’s story and it’s obvious that Audubon’s internal agony is based on injecting national politics into typical office drama and griping. An employee claims an independent contractor used a racial slur; another is upset that her male colleagues got a raise but she didn’t. Best run off to Politico and burn the whole organization down.

Read the whole thing, which is (a) a hoot and (b) a reminder that as Dr. Helen has written, that dopamine hit of smugness is what being a leftist is all about.
