Let’s see what our dear politically correct leftist friend in comicdom Busiek is saying lately. For example, here’s what he says in response to an article from the far-left UK Independent:
“If we just stop testing, the numbers will go way down!” What a fucking clown…Trump dismisses uptick in coronavirus cases and suggests a ‘stop’ to testing https://t.co/nx8V8IJbE1

Sounds more like somebody doesn’t appreciate the notion everyone could go to get a medical check, which could help reduce the number of patients faster in the long run. And the UK Independant isn’t exactly a reliable source free of distortions. I guess no comment from Busiek on Nevada’s Democrat governor failing abide by special rules like wearing a medical mask at a restaurant in Las Vegas. Because only conservatives are a concern.
Busiek even posted this fishy comment:
Analysis | What happens when a police officer gets fired? Very often another police agency hires them. https://t.co/OiGfj2QTQp— Kurt Busiek Resists (@KurtBusiek) June 17, 2020
I notice he doesn’t seem to distinguish between honest and corrupt police officials? How odd. But, clear enough he’s taking the side of those who would riot, not because they believe in justice, but because they’re exploiting a most tragic incident for more mayhem, which has led to at least a dozen more people being murdered during the ensuing riots. And what does Busiek think of the vandalism that’s been committed against statues of Abe Lincoln, after all he did to abolish slavery in his time? I guess Busiek must be really sorry he wrote any story even remotely starring Captain America, who’s a form of law enforcer himself, even in the Avengers.
Here’s some posts Busiek wrote that relate to the recent allegations against Cameron Stewart (who illustrated at least one project for Busiek, in Marvel’s 1000 special):
If it’s “not illegal,” that doesn’t mean it’s not bad.
It’s it’s “not as bad as that other guy,” that doesn’t mean it’s not bad.

Even as it was, the fact that Bogart and Bacall worked out as a couple does not make serially pursuing young women who see you as an inspiration somehow a good or blameless thing.— Kurt Busiek Resists (@KurtBusiek) June 17, 2020
And holy cow, anyone with the “It’s not as bad as Eddie Berganza” excuse — whatever happened in your life to make you think that Eddie Berganza was the dividing line between acceptable and unacceptable?— Kurt Busiek Resists (@KurtBusiek) June 17, 2020
And I don’t know how to wrap my head around the idea that “once she’s 18 it’s not predatory any more.”As if no one over the age of 18 can be manipulated or toyed with or taken advantage of.

That there are people who think of the serial manipulation of young women for sex as human error, as if those who did it didn’t intend to do it but just, I dunno, tripped, is…well, not surprising, but saddening.Won’t somebody think of the abusers.

I have to wonder what’s the use of commenting on the topics when Kurt once gave his backing to allowing transgender men into women’s bathrooms. Or at least, if the men happened to be claiming they’re women/dressed as such, as though that alone would automatically validate entrance and invasion of privacy. When you support disturbing causes that can enable offenses at women’s expense, there’s little point to the current argument.
He even cited some items first posted by an alleged conservative who turned out to be quite a phony:
It’s like the woman whose husband thought he was a chicken, @BillKristol. She didn’t want him cured because she wanted the eggs.Or in this case, the judges and deregulation. https://t.co/JLANIQk3Oe

I must not be one of your friends, Mr. Secretary, because I sure the hell don’t know that.I don’t think all that many people around the world know that either, and those that do are deeply mistaken. https://t.co/MKCUnpla82

So he embraces the work of Bill Kristol, who shed his right-leaning guise to reveal himself as more an ally to the left a few years ago? Got it. Now I understand why the Weekly Standard folded less than two years after the 2016 election, as they unmasked to reveal that, despite some suggestions to the contrary, they were never true rightists to begin with. Kristol by now is a joke. And so too is Busiek, with the dreadful way he’s been going about with his leftist politics.
