Nit Twit
Longtime Sadlynaughts will remember Josh “Tacitus” Trevino, a fascist blowhard with George Will-style prose pretensions whose advocacy of scorched earth and concentration camps in Iraq, “outings” and stalkings of pseudonymous bloggers, and awe-inspiring wizardry with toy lightsabers made enough waves that even the many Sensible Liberals (Crooked Timber, Obsidian Wings, Armando) who value civility over decency and had long given him cover as an “honest conservative” were forced to acknowledge his flaming sociopathy. He kinda disappeared after that, closed and robots.txt-ed Tacitus.org, left Red State.com, allowed his personal site to wither, and collected wingnut welfare from Pacific Policy Institute in relative silence. I thought – hoped — he had at last found a sense of shame, but I should have known better; apparently he’s found strategery work for someone called Chuck DeVore, a California Senate candidate who seems to think Carly Fiorina is a flaming liberal or something. Also, Tacky has taken his chairborne bloodlust to Twitter:
As an American, I am outraged my tax dollars go to Israeli defense! I prefer they go to Israeli offense. #flotilla
When is the MV Rachel Corrie supposed to arrive in Gaza? I need to know how long I have to stock up on offensive puns. #flotilla
After examining the facts on #flotilla, I condemn Israel: for being too nice, too soft, too accommodating to the scum of the earth.
Before you ask me if carrying a Hezbollah-themed slingshot is casus bellum, I’ll just say it deserves a good beatdown at minimum. #flotilla
The rage of the #flotilla fanatics against Barack Obama makes me think good thoughts about him for the first time since 2004.
Only way the #flotilla story gets better is if it’s revealed the IDF drew Muhammed on a bulkhead.
WIN: RT @Neal_Dewing: @Jinjirrie there is no functional difference between anti-Zionism and antisemitism.
Why is it that every complaint of Israeli “brutality” turns out to be Israelis doing about a tenth the damage they rightfully could?
And that’s an unfollow. RT @Jason BP CEO Tony Hayward wants “my life back.” Oh really? You want *your* life back? Kill yourself!
They say what Israel did to #flotilla is unjust. I agree: why are all six ships still afloat?
#Flotilla also makes clear that murderous Jew-hatred in the West did not die with the Third Reich. It merely evolved.
@Nikkonito #Flotilla is the Cuban Missile Crisis with everyone raving about Cuba’s right to the missiles.
The only thing worse than giving Israel a blank check is giving Israel blank rounds.
Then, just to prove he really means it down to the last sip of Mountain Dew Code Red:
My PS3 name is same as my Twitter handle. If you support #flotilla, come find me on MW2 so I can shoot you.
Yeah! It’s like the good old days around here. Can a Pasty post be far behind?
P.S. Cardinals suck.
Nope, ceasefire with Goldstein is still in effect. No kidding, he’s actually a better human being than Trevino.
P.S. True, but not as much as the Cubs, Mets or Giants.
Yeah, I had to unfollow this dude a few months ago when I realized his tweets were not amusing, even in a wingnut carwreck way.
“Losing a lot of left-wing followers over my #flotilla tweets. Tragic: they’re the ones who need me the most.”
EWWWWW.
Well, I needed nausea in the morning anyway. I’m a pacifist but can someone, anyone, please put down this mad dog.
I wish he would volunteer for the IDF, but I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t have him. Maybe he can become a Batman-like figure in Gaza. Admittedly it would certainly end up more like Kick-Ass, but win-win I’d say.
Nope, ceasefire with Goldstein is still in effect. No kidding, he’s actually a better human being than Trevino.
This world. I no longer want to live in it.
At least he hasn’t talked about cockslapping in, like, a year…

I’ve seen this line of “moral” “argument” a number of times now. Does it generalize? If somebody’s on trial for assault or robbery, do they get to tell the judge, “Your Honour, I should not be convicted of this crime. After all, I did not kill the victim, when I clearly could have, so I am obviously a good guy.”
And by the way, Han shot first. #original canon
a fascist blowhard with George Will-style prose pretensions
So straight out the wingnut cookie cutter then.
So … using this “logic,” it follows that:
I can has wingnut welfair gig now plz?
There is no functional difference between ant-Obamaism and racism.
Actually, wingnut logic, properly applied, shows that the fact you wrote the above proves you are both an anti-Semite and a racist.
And a poopyhead. Also, too.
There is no functional difference between anti-POOPyheadism and anti-PENISism.
There is no functional difference between Trevino’s mom and a vacuum cleaner.
Yeah, I had to unfollow this dude a few months ago when I realized his tweets were not amusing, even in a wingnut carwreck way.
I’m beginning to wonder about your liberal bona fides.
I need to see your papers, please.
Or at least your tits.
There is no functional difference between Trevino’s mom and a vacuum cleaner.
One sucks while the other blows.
Shorter Trevino:
“Please, please, please believe I have a penis.”
Or something. I need more coffee and have too much stuff to do today.
Like thinking about how people who are treated less than human, damn near need Israeli permission to take a shit, have had their land taken from them repeatedly, and see their kids get shot up by F-16 fighter jets for simply holding rocks, might have a grievance against the government that does that stuff to them.
Which, apparently, makes me an antisemite in league with the likes of Hitler.
I wonder when the Holocaust Guilt will finally end for some folks …
there is no functional difference between anti-Zionism and antisemitism.
There’s no functional difference between Trevino and a kosher ham sandwich.
FYWP!!
That was supposed to have a blockquote in there quoting someone else.
I’ve done enough stoopid here today. Have fun, kids!
My PS3 name is same as my Twitter handle. If you support #flotilla, come find me on MW2 so I can shoot you.
It’s almost worth buying a PS3 just so I can kick this guy’s ass up and down cyberspace.
I’m beginning to wonder about your liberal bona fides.
What? Just like our hosts here, I like to keep an eye on the wingnut freaks.
Actually, I purged my account of everyone except Karl Rove and Peter Kinder a while ago…it was getting bad for my blood pressure.
Or at least your tits.
Really? Usually my ACLU card is quite enough.
Or at least your tits.

Anyone can get an ACLU card. Not everyone has tits like yours…
Maybe he can become a Batman-like figure in Gaza.
Oh, in his dreams, maybe. After I read this–
–I immediately thought, “spawn camper”.
Actually, I purged my account of everyone except Karl Rove and Peter Kinder a while ago…it was getting bad for my blood pressure.
Yeah, I avoid pretty much all wingnuttism now. It was bad for my belief in the value of human life.
Which is actually kind of ironic.
Why is it that every complaint of Israeli “brutality” turns out to be Israelis doing about a tenth the damage they rightfully could?
Accounting for the fact that not even a tenth of Israeli brutality goes reported in the American media… does everything somehow even out?
All that bluster must be a compensation for something. I wonder what.
Anyone can get an ACLU card. Not everyone has tits like yours…
Y’know, I fail to see the correlation, which leads me to believe that this is perhaps another permutation of the “etchings” trope that you are fond of using.
Yeah, I avoid pretty much all wingnuttism now.
I had to tune out politics for the last two or three years of the Bush administration. I just could not do it anymore.
Is it my imagination or does nearly every thread around these parts eventually touch on the topic of T&U’s boobs?
Is it some kind of unspoken rule? Like it doesn’t become a real thread until the magic boobs are invoked?
Y’know, I fail to see the correlation
Perhaps I could etch it out for you…
This thread is too depressing. I’m going back downstairs and thinking up more pr0n names.

PJTV distinguishes itself through the cunning use of logic;
Shorter PJTV: “Palestinians will have their country back, but first they have to stop asking for it back.” Why didn’t anyone think of that before?
As usual, the gems are in the comments section;
What kind of dumb fuck thinks –
Then again, this is the same website that’s compared Guantanamo Prison to a Caribbean cruise before. And these are the people who think “refugees” describes the Batista thugs who bailed out of Cuba on CIA golden parachutes back in the fifties and have been using it to run the local mob ever since, so perhaps it’s not surprising that “refugee” translates as “rich welfare chiseler” in their language.
Is it some kind of unspoken rule? Like it doesn’t become a real thread until the magic boobs are invoked?
Dude. I have no idea. I think they’ve been doing something behind my back…
“Palestine” is the ultimate welfare state. Supported by the UN, socialist Europe and the American State Department. Highest per-capita income in the Mid-East. Bleeding heart central.
Holy shit. That is brilliant in its sheer insanity.
Highest per-capita income in the Mid-East.
Wait…what?
CIA Factbook, please help…
And…
¹ includes relatively wealthy West Bank settlements.
I think they’ve been doing something behind my back…
Kind of a “throw ’em over your shoulder like a Continental soldier” thing, I’m guessing.
Is it my imagination or does nearly every thread around these parts eventually touch on the topic of T&U’s boobs?
INTEREST!
CIA Factbook, please help…
Well dude, the CIA clearly has a liberal bias. It’s all Obama’s fault.
I fucking love how they say “highest per capita income in the Middle East” when Saudi Arabia is RIGHT FUCKING THERE – and on the other side of it, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, the UAE…
Surfing some links, dum diddly dum dum … oh, what have we here?
Chickenshit likes a real critique the way Dracula likes garlic – oh how shocking. Funny how their Stoopid-Pride™ vaporizes like piss on a hot griddle the moment anyone that can tie their own shoelaces points it out.
Given his “#flotilla” comments, I think I can guess one other reason why Lightsaber-Boy isn’t being prolific on the Interwebz these days: it rhymes with “slack fan in the bright house.”
“Is it some kind of unspoken rule? Like it doesn’t become a real thread until the magic boobs are invoked?”
Personally, I keep tracking this site for T&U to ask for someone to throw her a bone.

Poor verb choice while Actor’s in the house.
But yes.

Damn, I need to buy some new bras, then.

Am I *that* obvious?
Why is it that every complaint of Israeli “brutality” turns out to be Israelis doing about a tenth the damage they rightfully could?
But your honor, consider all of the people I didn’t kill!
N_B, if I can’t get actor to read something lascivious into all of my posts, then I’m not working hard enough.
I’ve had a comment on this thread either deleted or eaten or just not appear twice, now. The hell?
It’s been eating mine too.
Am I *that* obvious?
Um. Yes.
N_B, if I can’t get actor to read something lascivious into all of my posts, then I’m not working hard enough.
Boy, this is a tough one…can you give me a hint?
Sadly, I’d have more sympathy for the Palestinians (and less for the Israelis) if just about every comment coming out of the Arab world, and a goodly chunk on the western political left, on the Palestinians’ situation didn’t eventually disintegrate into “Arrrgh blarrgh Jews baad argle bargle Israelis fake Jews anyway blaaagh crush kill destroy!” kind of bullshit. I’d also have more sympathy if some of the same leftward offenders would stop blaming Israel for shit it didn’t even fucking do, and/or if what is now Jordan had kept its side of the 1947 accord and coughed up the land it was contractually obligated to provide for a Palestinian homeland. But, see, it’s too difficult to actually do nuance, especially since that’d require most of these dumbshits to actually know anything about history.
Frankly, I think most of the Arab world needs to just face the facts: Once your turf gets aggressively colonised by the British Empire, you ain’t never getting your land back the way it was. And if we’re going to start cancelling countries by fiat because they were created by the British Empire at the expense of indigenous inhabitants, a fuck of a lot of us need to start packing.
No comment nom-nom-nomming, but the world-renowned “Sadly, No!” cyber-hamsters are obviously off their feed. Poor things.
This thread would lose a sprint to a glacier even with a 100-yard head-start.
Um. Yes.
Thank you for that SA to my SQ.
The weird thing is that the comments appear, then disappear on the refresh. Weird.
Maybe he can become a Batman-like figure in Gaza.
Oh, he wishes. When I read this–
–I immediately thought, “Spawn camper.”
The weird thing is, my comments initially appear on the page, then disappear when I refresh. Weird.
So dumbass pretended he couldn’t read Spanish during the MEChA nonsense, and now he’s supposed to be the über Jew?
His identity is as much a joke as his civility.
Frankly, I think most of the Arab world needs to just face the facts
Thank goodness we have tough minded westerners to force those irrational Mohammedans out of their Moon-god fantasies and into contact with the hard facts.
Srsly dude, this is Sadly, No!, not National Review. Peddle this bullshit somewhere else.
A theory:
Many conservatives are so gung-ho about Israel because it gives them a chance to prove they’re not bigots.
The thought process would be “See? It can’t just be that we hate brown people from bigotry. We love those jews who are beating the hell out of the brown people over there!”
Which is why they’re also so eager to accuse all who criticize Israel as anti-Semites.
Christian conservatives also love the Rapture-iffic qualities of a State of Israel, of course. But this lockstep philosophy of Israel-is-always-right seems to permeate through all core conservatives, even the less religious ones. You know?
Many conservatives are so gung-ho about Israel because it gives them a chance to prove they’re not bigots.
I also think the idea of Israel appeals to them…a small, tough state standing up against the forces of evil and darkness, you know? And if that state’s militaristic and oppressive, even better!
Frankly, I think most of the Arab world needs to just face the facts</i
So exactly what does this have to do with blockading food and medicine from Gaza?
Or building settlements by bulldozing the homes of Palestinians?
While we’re facing facts here.
Posting to kill the renegade italics tag from last post.
Just sunk into my conscious mind, that that’s Donny and Marie Osmond as brother and sister Leia and Luke.
Nice photoshop bomb. Perhaps the best ever.
Conservatives love Israel because they too picture themselves dealing out violence against their enemies and settling old scores. Pew pew fwoosh pew pew shhhpckow!
Fuck it. Pardon the incoming run-on posts (if WP allows it this time), but now I’m mad.
Sadly, I’d have more sympathy for the Palestinians (and less for the Israelis) if just about every comment coming out of the Arab world, and a goodly chunk on the western political left, on the Palestinians’ situation didn’t eventually disintegrate into “Arrrgh blarrgh Jews baad argle bargle Israelis fake Jews anyway blaaagh crush kill destroy!” kind of bullshit.
Oh, bullfuckingshit. I’ve never heard a leftist either here or in Europe say anything as asinine as “Jews bad,” much as the GOP enjoys pinning antisemitism on us – the only movements I’m aware of who do that are the far right parties in Europe, who have a lot more in common with the American right than with the left on either side of the Atlantic. I’m going to say this once; being against Israeli politics or even Israeli statehood is not antisemitism, any more than being against Rhodesia or South Africa was anti-white racism.
I have heard antisemitism much more often from Palestinians, and when it takes the form of terrorism (or any kind of violence), all the liberals I’ve ever asked about it have denounced it quite strongly (myself included). In a passive form, it’s just the local Jeremiah Wright – yes it’s wrong, yes it’s racist, but yes, I can more than understand how they come by it. This is a people who’ve been systematically and deliberately destroyed over a period of sixty years by an oppressor that happened to be Jewish – not some Aryan strumpet who decided to vote for Hitler because she didn’t like the way their noses looked. A little motherfucking perspective here, if you please.
I’d also have more sympathy if some of the same leftward offenders would stop blaming Israel for shit it didn’t even fucking do, and/or if what is now Jordan had kept its side of the 1947 accord and coughed up the land it was contractually obligated to provide for a Palestinian homeland.
I already told you about the leftward offenders, and see above for the rest of that as well. We know there’s plenty of blame to go around. We know that Arab governments and Palestinian parties both deserve a shit ton of it as well. What we’d like is some kind of acknowledgment that there are two sides to the fucking story and that the Israelis deserve a little bit of the blame also. The people who came over from Europe in the early twentieth century, demanded for their own a land that they’d never been to, then waged a twenty-year terrorist campaign against the British Empire and the local Arabs when they weren’t immediately given everything they wanted, deserve just as much of the blame as the Brits do.
Finally,
Frankly, I think most of the Arab world needs to just face the facts: Once your turf gets aggressively colonised by the British Empire, you ain’t never getting your land back the way it was. And if we’re going to start cancelling countries by fiat because they were created by the British Empire at the expense of indigenous inhabitants, a fuck of a lot of us need to start packing.
You might have a point if colonization at the expense of indigenous inhabitants was some quaint thing of the past, water under the bridge we can all get over because it hasn’t happened for sixty years; it’s not. It’s an ongoing process which Israel still engages in every day with the tacit approval of its American backers. Why do you think Israel’s one of the only remaining countries in the world that hasn’t declared its borders?
Here in the twenty-first century, we also expect countries to behave a certain way regardless of how these countries came about. Colonization is not a legitimate policy in the modern world, and neither is segregation. Liberals during the Cold War didn’t want South Africa wiped off the map or its whites sent back to Holland/England, but they did want it to stop practicing apartheid in its domestic policy, and aggression against neighboring countries in its foreign one. The reason that finally happened in the eighties was that the Western embargo forced the regime to start negotiating in good faith – it hasn’t happened with Israel, and I don’t think it’s going to.
Thank goodness we have tough minded westerners to force those irrational Mohammedans out of their Moon-god fantasies and into contact with the hard facts.
Right? How stupid do you have to be to think that your colonizers should grant you basic rights? They should be thankful we aren’t sending the Israelis smallpox blankets!
Jim–yes the hamsters are definitely not on their game today. I can barely get the page to load.
White Men! White women! The swastika is calling you. The Jew is using the black as muscle against you. And you are left there helpless. Well, what are you going to do about it, whitey? Just sit there? Of course not. You, are going to join with us. The members of the American, Socialist, White peoples party. An organisation of decent, law abiding white folk. Just like you.
The Jew is using the black as muscle against you.
Is that a promise or a threat?
Because I could use the “action”
Either provide an actual quote, with cite, or kindly SHUT THE FUCK UP.
Now if you’ll excuse us, we were discussing T&U’s breasteses.

Haha, the ol’ lightsaber pic. I remember what a hissy fit Trevino pitched the first time y’all posted it.
Nope, ceasefire with Goldstein is still in effect. No kidding, he’s actually a better human being than Trevino.
Bah!
“Nope, ceasefire with Goldstein is still in effect. ” Booring. Fuck Captain Klonopin and the cockslapping he rode in on.
No kidding, he’s actually a better human being than Trevino.
Not saying much. Isn’t he the one that whined about liberals not giving him money to make his house payment and support his family because he couldn’t find his dream job in semiotics or some such, or am I getting my right-wing crybabies mixed up?
2004?
Does he mean 2008?
