Some of you gentle readers may have wondered what happened here on Lew Water's Watch over the weekend, when it went dark and silent and private.
When we last saw Lew's public offerings, he had pulled the offending post in which he criticized a conservative candidate for the state legislature, including the follow up comment in which he accused her of sleeping with her many supporters. A comment which has apparently caused a number of people to publicly call for an apology, which is entirely appropriate.
Relax, Lew doesn't apologize. When he says something stupid, he usually follows it up with something even more stupid to show you he really means it.
Anyway, we left Lew with the offending post removed, and assumed that cooler heads had prevailed upon him to pull the article and start acting like an adult. Since we never wanted this conflict, we chose to meet his de-escalation with one of our own, and we set LWW to private. Then we packed the car and headed to the coast with the mother-in-law.
Alas, Lew's return to sanity, even though lacking the public apology that is only appropriate, was short-lived. We returned from the coast, the mother-in-law having sadly survived, to find that the egregious article including his highly offensive and sexist comments are back live.
So The Watch is back on, and I'm sure the tantrums from the Clark County Conservative over the rights of free citizens to publicly criticize his offensive nonsense will also resume.
I don't know if Lew thought that someone in power ordered The Watch to be shut down, and felt it was okay to repost his stupidity or what, but I assure you, Lew, no one has that power, and even if they did, no one knows who to contact to shut it down.
Multiple people on multiple forums have called for Lew Waters to publicly apologize for his offensive and sexist suggestion that a political candidate is sleeping with all her supporters. Please join your voice to call for this public buffoon to recant his statement. There are boundaries to what is acceptable discourse in politics, and Lew has far exceeded those bounds. Even a supporter of Lew should see that he has crossed the line, and should call for him to apologize.
