So what started off as a joke I think if it goes public could really embarrass the shit out of war monger and socialist fighter Jonah Goldberg. Hoping you guys have some ideas on how to make this go big for monday. We have not started promoting the petition yet but maybe will do that today and I'll start making videos on monday. So far even though he has received many tweets his only response is "I have no idea who that is" which I am totally going to use as a press blurb. If no ideas even a tweet would be great!
Today
this video of Jonah Goldberg surfaced on the Internets. In it he goes after "youth," and "young voters," claiming it was a mistake to lower the voting age to 18, claiming youth are "stupid" and "ignorant".
"It is a fact of science that nothing correlates closer than stupidity and youth."
But the kicker comes at 1:39:
"The fact that young people think socialism is better than capitalism, that's proof of what social scientists call their stupidity and their ignorance and it's something that conservatives have to work harder to beat out of them, either literally or figuratively as far as I'm concerned."
So Jamie took to twitter to give Jonah his opportunity to beat up someone who thinks socialism is better than capitalism - a 145lb tattooed vegan progressive standup comic from Park Slope, Brooklyn. I vowed to become a capitalist if Jonah wins.
Jamie started the hashtag #jonahfightsforcharity and the citizen radio crowd cheered and got involved.
Three two minuted rounds, Jonah would get to wear headgear and boxing gloves and we can turn it into a charity event. We'll do a kickstarter and the winner gets to donate all the money to the charity of their choice. The tweets are in no way threatening but lighthearted and stressing it is a regulated fight where he has a massive size advantage.
Might be fun to put some pressure on him to actually put his jaw where his mouth is. Big men on the Internet never get called out for inciting violence and bullying. Let's give him the opportunity to be more than a digital bully. Let's promote a fair, safe, refereed fight to give him the chance to back up his rhetoric.
Thoughts? Feasibility? Is this a good idea? I know it'd be fun...
