When Will Teh Gays Stop Persecuting Normal People?

Shorter Gary “NOT Gay” McCaleb, The American Genius:
For the Human Rights Campaign, Diversity Is Not Enough

    • Silly faggots. They need to learn that “diversity” means tolerating people who don’t tolerate faggots.

  • ‘Shorter’ concept created by Daniel Davies and perfected by Elton Beard. We are aware of all Internet traditions.™

    And ONLY people who don’t tolerate faggots.

     
     

    In a fight like this, you don’t win over hearts and minds using intimidation and mischaracterization as the central weapons. Nor will praise for diversity, followed by a demand that your opponents lie down and surrender their defenses, be something the American people are likely to respect. Indeed, Mr. Solmonese seems to claim some “right” to advocate absent any opposition — which is little more than demanding the power to oppress others with his views.

    In 2009, our lawyers witnessed Ms. Mitchell leading and counseling anti-LGBT community members at a public D.C. hearing on testimony that was deeply hurtful towards our community. Now, Ms. Mitchell is a registered lobbyist on behalf of National Organization for Marriage in Minnesota, which goes well beyond any professional or ethical obligations of legal representation.</blockquote.

     
     

    Geez, I got to the gearhead thread too late and got sidetracked by brining and now it’s all about the gheys again. Better get back in the kitchen.

     
     

    Yes, truly it is a mystery why the HRC, would object to the presence of a committed enemy of the rights and goals they hope to achieve. Clearly any hypothetically open minded LGBT rights advocacy group should be perfectly fine with finding bigots in positions of power.

    Gays…brining…head…gear…there’s something there, but I can’t quite pitch on it.

     
     

    I didn’t want to get out of the boat.

    I’ve worked in high-tech companies for 30 years. If anyone in any of those companies so much as subtly disrespected anyone based on race, creed, or gender / orientation, they would be humiliated and brought before HR so fast their head would spin. The bigots had better wake up, bigotry is not well tolerated in the real world.

     
     


    For the Human Rights Campaign, Diversity Is Not Enough

    That title doesn’t make sense. It’s like saying, “For a swimming pool, water is not enough.”

     
     

    But just what was so “hurtful”? It was the message of Mitchell’s client, Stand4Marriage DC, a citizens’ group formed to protect marriage as the union of one man and one woman, a principle that all history shows to be the ideal way to create and nurture the next generation. But Solmonese casts this noble proposition as a slur, claiming that Mitchell was really “discriminating against gays and lesbians wishing to marry.”

    I try, really try, not to hate people but they make it so damn hard.

     
     

    I’m tempted to give the whole thing a thorough Fisking but my cardiologist would be unhappy with me.

     
    The Very Reverend Battleaxe of Knowledge
     

    This attitude is just part of the American DNA. The pilgrims came over here to escape “religious persecution”—since the government tolerated sects other than theirs, they were being persecuted.

     
     

    Indeed, Mr. Solmonese seems to claim some “right” to advocate absent any opposition — which is little more than demanding the power to oppress others with his views.

    Gary also accused them of intimidation… that must’ve been some letter! Wait, it looks like they publish their own “pro-equality” ratings and downgraded F&L, and that they don’t consider them a “National Corporate Partner” anymore… ZOUNDS! As if this organization has a “right” to have an opinion and express and advocate its views in a way that in no way has any illegal or oppressive effect on anyone! The nerve!

     
     

    I seriously can’t get over this: THE GUY WROTE A LETTER. You know you have gone off the deep end when you can pretend that is oppression.

     
     

    the power to oppress others with his views

    Having views is oppressive? HA HA I’m oppressing you all with my opinions! AND YOU CAN’T STOP ME!!

     
     

    Nor will praise for diversity, followed by a demand that your opponents lie down and surrender their defenses

    And after you lie down, please pin your arms behind your back and lift your ankles over your head.

     
    The Very Reverend Battleaxe of Knowledge
     

    THE GUY WROTE A LETTER.

    Reminds you of when “I shall write a very strongly-worded letter to The Times!” was a serious threat.

     
     

    maybe it would dawn on him that since those practicing homosexual behavior in America represent perhaps 1.4 percent of our population, his characterization of those who support marriage as the union of a man and a woman as “unpopular clients” will strike most folks as silly.

    OK, let’s see how much FAIL he packed into that small space:

    1) All of us straight persons are opposed to gay marriage. Thanks a lot, you bigoted fucker, for implicitly claiming I agree with you because I happen to have been born straight. (I guess it could be worse; he could be trying to practice his deeply-repressed homosexuality on me when I’m just relieving myself in the privacy of the local pub’s Men’s room stall.)

    2) The phrase “unpopular clients” refers to the legal profession’s moral obligation to stand up for the rights of all citizens. No one is requiring Ms. Bigot, Esq., to represent persons she does not like, even though she may be obligated to do so. We’re complaining that she’s putting her professional skills to work hurting innocent persons. Just as we engineers are not supposed to build extermination camps, and doctors are not to perform experiments on children, lawyers are not supposed to abuse their profession to hurt innocent persons.

    (Of course, if the firm in question had asked her to perform pro bono work on behalf of oppressed gay clients in a bigoted place, American Stinker would be caterwauling about how horribly she was being harmed.)

    Shorter shorter: I WANNA BEAT UP THOSE OUT GAYZ CAUSE IM JELUS!!1!

     
     

    I’m oppressing you all with my opinions! AND YOU CAN’T STOP ME!!

    See the violence inherent in the system!

     
     

    Having views is oppressive? HA HA I’m oppressing you all with my opinions! AND YOU CAN’T STOP ME!!

    You call that oppression? Where’s my goddam letter?

     
     

    Demonstrating the duplicitous nature of the HRC’s tactics even more clearly, Solmonese’s letter also admitted that he and others “fully recognize that the legal profession has the duty to represent unpopular clients and take on controversial cases.”

    ZOMG he conceded the validity of a possible objection?? Wadda fork-tongued two-faced weasel.

     
    The Very Reverend Battleaxe of Knowledge
     

    Oh, and that guy in the picture is just so totally not gay AT ALL that just looking at him butches me up so much I wanna go do some fag-bashin’. Who’s with me?

     
     

    Indeed, Mr. Solmonese seems to claim some “right” to advocate absent any opposition

    Indeed, Gary seems to claim writing a letter expressing disagreement is horribly oppressive. Publishing it on the internuts, not so much.

     
     

    Oh, and that guy in the picture is just so totally not gay

    He’s got my gay-dar spinning so fast I’m using it for a fan in my office.

     
     

    Demonstrating the duplicitous nature of the HRC’s tactics even more clearly, Solmonese’s letter also admitted that he and others “fully recognize that the legal profession has the duty to represent unpopular clients and take on controversial cases.”

    The letter goes on to point out that working as a lobbyist for an unpopular client is not really part of that legal duty.

     
     

    If HRC really respects diversity, then Mitchell’s presence at Foley & Lardner guarantees it.

    What you need at the widget factory is a vocal Anti-Widgeter.

     
     

    Of course, McCaleb would never oppress anyone with oppressive letter-writing.

     
     

    I’m oppressing you all with my words and there’s nothing you can do about it!!

    That was said here to resounding applause, tensor. Libs can justify intolerance like no other.

     
     

    You know, there’s never a checkmate for “God did it.”

    I actually don’t so much mind “God did it.” Fine. God did it. Makes as much sense as anything when you get to the fringes of human knowledge. My problem is with the willful ignorance and contrariness as to the observable facts of what, exactly, it is that God has done and how it has been done.

    No. you stupid fuck. Jesus did not ride a fucking dinosaur.

    There are none so blind as those who will not see. Suck on that proof, lib.

     
     

    Oh. And just because you’re too stupid or lazy to understand some basic mechanisms of how the world is put together doesn’t make them unknowable mysteries that only the Divine are party to. It also doesn’t give you the right to burn those who do understand them as witches.

    Sorry.

    Why? Is the Ho Muslin?

    No offense, Spear, but you’re coming off kind of intolerant of Applejack.

    Also: Pinkie Pie? Rilly?

    I am intolerant of bronies. Kill them all, I would. They fucking deserve it at least as much as does denbob.

     
     

    Applejack is just sort of there. I don’t hate her by any means, but I can’t relate to her at all.

    Pinkie Pie is clearly the most entertaining aspect of the show. She never fails to make me laugh out loud.

    Eh, I’m just kidding. I bet his blood is as shopworn as his posts are.

     
     

    Well thanks but there is no credible answer there.

    As far as I remember it isn’t explicitly forbidden, unless perhaps Dennis has fangs or something. Dennis may be haraam in some circumstances and halal in others, like if you’re really really hungry and the game’s on so you can’t leave.

    I don’t mind people who ascribe the way the universe works to a supreme being somewhere. But if you claim that the universe doesn’t work in a way that it plainly does, hell, you’re not just offending common sense, you’re kind of pissing all over God’s work too. After all, it’s his creation. Gay people, evolution, the Big Bang, all God’s work.

    Make your favorite stuffing (NO, it’s NOT “dressing, it’s stuffing god fucking damnit and please, for the love of all that is holy actor, just fucking stop already!). I like a mushroom, herb, oyster and chestnut bad boy m’sef. Mound that STUFFING shit on a greased half-sheet pan then plop the booby bits on top. You should have extra stuffing which you may cook in its own fucking dish but it is STILL STUFFING GOD DAMNIT. The breast goes into a 350 Fahrenfuckingheit oven. And here’s the best part – it only cooks for 70 to 90 motherfucking minutes! The legs you damn well better put on a rack over a deep sided oven pan of some sort and those go in for the last 40 minutes. BAM MOTHERFUCKERS!

    GUHHHH?

     
     

    You BASTARD! *slap, passionate kiss*

    LET’S DO IT AGAIN!

     
     

    I watched my mom make stuffing a couple of times–I have croutons, oysters, giblets, onions and a whole cupboard full of unopened spices. Chicken stock too. I know that has to go in there. And an egg? Don’t you just mush all that motherfucking shit together and start stuffing?

    Also, yes, it IS called stuffing. Dressing is what girls do to their fucking girly barbies.

    I was supposed to get french bread and rip it into small chunks and let it dry for a couple of weeks, but I forgot. So I got lousy bagged croutons.

    I haven’t a clue how to make gravy, other than opening that packet and whisking in water…

    Again, I’ve said too much.

    It’s true, once I discovered I could buy Richart with food stamps I decided to Occupy a preschool and force halal vegan gaybortions down their tiny throats. Or I would if it didn’t take too much effort.

     
     

    Oh hell, let’s see…. Ok, fouund one that looks like a good starting point, I’ll make it right.

    butter

    1 cup celery, finely chopped – if you can have some of those tender leaves from the inner stalks, add them, great flavor there

    2 cups onions, chopped

    1/4-1/2 cup fresh parsley, minced

    1 tablespoon sage, minced OR if all you have is dried, crush one heaping teaspoonful between your fingers into the mix

    1 tablespoon thyme, minced OR same as above for sage

    3/4 teaspoon salt

    1/2 teaspoon black pepper, ground

    1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, freshly grated

    1/8 teaspoon clove, ground

    1 cup chicken stock

    one or two eggs

    Whoah! They missed the bacon! Couple strips bacon, sliced crossways in 1/4 inch strips. Put the bacon in a skillet and cook on medium-high until browned and crisp. Plop about four tablespoons butter in the pan, add the onions and celery and reduce heat tomedium. Cook, stirring often until the onions are soft and translucent – prolly five minutes or thereabouts. Add the herbs and spices, any oyster liquor you have, plus the stock and a splash of port or madeira if you have it. Hmm, sweet vermouth might work too. Also. So bring that shit to the boil then simmer for about five minutes. Remove from heat and dump it into a large bowl. Let it marry and cool for 10 or 15. Taste and correct seasoning – if you used unsalted butter and low sodium broth you might need to add salt. Otherwise, it’s probably too fucking salty and you should just kill yourself*. Chop the oysters roughly** Stir in the bread crumbs, oysters and the beaten egg.

    Bob’s yer fucking pedophile uncle, ya got yer stuffing, bitch.

    *Obligatory eliminationist rhetoric (and FY Chrome, eliminationist is so a word)

    ** It sure sounds like it could be a VsomethingR but it was not intended to be such

     
     

    A spoonful of honey helps the halal vegan gaybortion go down. Although if you believe the MRAs, little kids will go down for candy.

     
     

    Tsam – when I make turkey gravy I drain the juices into a big cast iron skillet and start heating it up then whisk in flour until very thick. Add water, cooked and chopped giblets, salt and pepper and poultry seasoning to taste then simmer until it thickens. The key is to add the flour to the drippings and get it smooth before you add any water. I like to save a cup of the water from boiling the potatoes for the gravy.

     
     

    Forgot to mention a dash of Kitchen Bouquet.

     
     

    fine tsam, I didn’t want to help anyway. Cunt.

     
     

    Lordy, the (few) comments are solid gold:

    The one diversity that is Krypton to libs is diversity of opinion. In their perfect world, skin color, gender, cultural dress, all the superficials must be wildly diverse in every institution regardless of those individuals’ qualifications, but everyone must hold the exact same leftist opinion or be shunned by the hive. “Diversity” is the code word for anti-white racism and leftist group think.

    Not sure what Superman’s dead homeworld has to do with this, but other than that …busted!

    If there’s one thing libs are infamous for, it’s the monolithic cultural & philosophical unity they always display. Not to mention Teh Bisexual Pot-Smoking Vegan’s Burden: keeping the helpless long-suffering whites under our hobnailed Birkenstocks.

    Once again, the left proves that enough is never enough. No matter how much they get, they will always demand More.

    This is true! See, there’s this wacky concept called “Progress,” & it effectively keeps moving the goalposts ever-forward toward an ideal society, while also subtly altering the characteristics of said society. Disagree? STRONGLY disagree? No biggie – feel free to crawl up your own ass & die, with my sincere blessings. But if you want to “turn back the clock,” be ready for a fucking world of pain … a lot of people suffered & died to get us this far, & nobody today wants to re-fight battles that were won before they were even born.

    Think about this: Today I looked up the definition of “diversity” on the Merriam-Webster web site. An antonym of diversity is “community”.

    Whoa, duuuuuuuuuuuuude! That is SO HEAVY.

    So is “analogy” … & the one that comes to mind here is trying to get your pet gerbil to do your algebra homework.

    This would actually sound pretty cool if the lyrics weren’t so fucking awful.

    No. Just … NO. That makes Anthrax teaming up with Public Enemy look like a great idea. The Lars & Jim-Bob Travelling Pose-A-Thon should’ve packed it in a very long time ago, & that pile of POOP is the horrible proof.

    When you fuck the mangos, you get mango chutney!

    Foley & Lardner, LLP is a large and successful law firm. Focused on serving business clients, it has more than 1,000 attorneys in over 60 offices throughout the United States and across the globe. And although a firm that large is necessarily diverse, we recently found that diversity is not enough when the Human Rights Campaign is looking over your shoulder.
    Specifically, on Nov. 8, HRC President Joe Solmonese sent a letter to Foley & Lardner Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Jay O. Rothman. The letter took the firm to task over the fact that Cleta Mitchell — a renowned D.C. lawyer — is a partner there.

    The gays don’t just shut up when you throw them some tokenism?

    INCONCEIVABLE!

    Seriously, he’s whining that hiring a few gays to do low level tasks didn’t get the law firm a blank check from gay rights organizations.

    Wrote Solmonese:
    In 2009, our lawyers witnessed Ms. Mitchell leading and counseling anti-LGBT community members at a public D.C. hearing on testimony that was deeply hurtful towards our community. Now, Ms. Mitchell is a registered lobbyist on behalf of National Organization for Marriage in Minnesota, which goes well beyond any professional or ethical obligations of legal representation.

    MY GOD! Truly history’s greatest monster! How dare he notice that one of the firms lawyers was working as a registered lobbyist. Why the right never ever notes when a lawyer or judge has connections no matter how nebulous to liberal leaning groups, even if it’s just the ACLU (which defends anyone) or the “connection” is rejecting a wingnut argument on its “merits”!

    But how anyone could ever DARE to notice when a wingnut lawyer is working for the main group working against their basic livelihood and PUBLICLY COMMENT on it is just…there are no words for that level of perfidy! What’s next, noting when legislators vote against gay rights and arguing that they should be replaced through legal democratic processes?!? Maybe stern disapproving looks?!?!?

    IS THERE NO END TO THE MADNESS?!?

     
     

    the one diversity that is Krypton to libs
    […]
    Not sure what Superman’s dead homeworld has to do with this

    It’s more that libs use Diversity in fluorescent tubes and high-powered lasers.

     
     

    But just what was so “hurtful”? It was the message of Mitchell’s client, Stand4Marriage DC, a citizens’ group formed to protect marriage as the union of one man and one woman, a principle that all history shows to be the ideal way to create and nurture the next generation. But Solmonese casts this noble proposition as a slur, claiming that Mitchell was really “discriminating against gays and lesbians wishing to marry.”

    If I recall correctly, this “defense of one man/one woman marriage” like nearly all wingnut “defenses of principle” was just a giant rehashing of general slurs against gay people includng a bunch of recycled Scott Lively horseshit, the standard lines about how gay families are worse for kids that ignore all real studies, and otherwise arguing about how their supposed “sickness” made them unfit for marriage.

    But leaving all that aside and the fact that a wingnut has yet been able to “testify on behalf of heterosexual marriage” without bringing in a bunch of bigotry and religious nonsense with little to no connection to reality, we get this.

    A) If all she did was give legal advice to scum as her job, that would in itself justify the letter even if Solomenese understood that wasn’t something a lawyer could necessarily help. That’s also part of the lawyer duties, taking shit for sticking up for the legal process.

    B) She didn’t just represent them, she worked as a lobbyist, i.e. employee of the political organization. That’s, as the letter noted, beyond the scope of simply representation.

    C) I’ll note that none of these objections were even raised by the fucker. The first thing he ran to, was “but but but we were defending marriage, how dare you call it “hurtful” even though we called you demon-spawn cocksuckers who deserved to burn in hell atop all the children you molest”.

    D) Does he even understand what political organization means? Cause writing letters chiding their opponents is what everyone does whether they have a legitimate beef with the horseshit of their opponents or they are the conservative side bitching about nothing. Hey, like this, whining about how the liberals sharing their opinion is the real hateful messaging. How dare they slur us by calling our deliberately inflammatory rhetoric designed to short-circuit the thinking of the dumber representatives “hurtful”.

    Seriously, it’s like the parodies of bullying you get in cartoons where the kid goes “hey, stop punching me, it’s hurtful” and the bullies get in a circle and agonize about how they never meant to do something “hurtful” when they were pummeling kids smaller than them.

     
     

    Ironically, it was just two years ago that HRC praised Foley & Lardner for its diversity and “support of LGBT equality … within its own workforce.” Now, just because one attorney within this huge firm defends marriage, HRC is dropping the hammer?

    Yeah, how dare you in the past praise a token action on behalf of a large law firm and criticize a new more modern action with new information. That’s hypocrisy!

    I must admit, seeing wingnuts struggle to understand what hypocrisy means so they can fling it back at liberals is always good for a laugh!

    Durr, not changing our opinion no matter what information presents itself is how we live life, so not doing that, that’s hypocrisy right?

    Can we get a little tolerance and understanding here?

    For what? A lawyer from the firm worked as an employee for an organization working against the basic rights of the group they are advocating rights for. An organization, I’ll note, that has repeatedly broken numerous state laws for refusing to disclose donors and which has recycled arguments, employees, and so on from official hate groups. And the Gay Rights group wrote a letter criticizing it. There’s plenty of tolerance and understanding and the full letter actually is basically explaining specific sources of disagreement and schism despite other areas of respect and recognition.

    If it got any more weak it’d be an UN non-binding resolution.

    Also, I love the wingnut habit of only quoting other wingnuts even when they are talking about a specific object that they could just as easily link to. It’s almost like they don’t want any of their readers to actually look at the piece itself. Compare that to most liberal takedowns of conservative horseshit that link it straight up so the commenters can go there and rip it apart themselves mango-style.

    META-MANGOS!

     
     

    hi everybody! i’m back from the middle of freaking nowhere! that actually makes me kinda sad…virtually cut-off from civilization is at times very blissful…

     
     

    Demonstrating the duplicitous nature of the HRC’s tactics even more clearly, Solmonese’s letter also admitted that he and others “fully recognize that the legal profession has the duty to represent unpopular clients and take on controversial cases.” Yet he appears to be waging a public relations war against Foley & Lardner for doing just that.

    Public Relations War! Why that’s almost like a real war! Or you know the actual targeted harassment, murder, beating, and general dismissal of their created families that gay people face. Also, again, I love the second failure to understand hypocrisy.

    Especially since he quoted their problem in the sole part of the letter he used to demonstrate “liberal perfidy”. That the lawyer’s duties and volunteered aid exceeded that normally given to clients and was consistent with her role as a full lobbyist which denotes support for the mission and alignment of her firm with the organization in question.

    I won’t even get into IT’S ALWAYS PROJECTION! Because it’s all projection. For all the blather of how it’s improper to “demonize by association”, that’s been the right’s main tactic for a long time including smearing any judge who rules against them as “being a paid stooge of the X lobby” and working tirelessly to unseat them in order to scare judges out of following the law as written and kowtowing to the terrorist organization full of crazies.

    But I digress.

    If Solmonese were to look at this more objectively, maybe it would dawn on him that since those practicing homosexual behavior in America represent perhaps 1.4 percent of our population, his characterization of those who support marriage as the union of a man and a woman as “unpopular clients” will strike most folks as silly. And his take will readily be seen for what it is: pure propaganda.

    Why it’s almost like there’s some percentage of the population without a direct stake in the situation who recognize that the use of the majority to deny a minority group basic rights and equality is wrong or something.

    And almost like Solmonese was referencing the fact that said group of people who recognize the wrongness of that were outnumbering the group who wanted to fly their bigot flag high. Hence why you wrote an entire post trying to pretend like mild rebuke was the same as demon tentacle rape instead of just writing “but dem faggits is bad” like you wanted to.

    Hell, it’s why you’ve been hiding behind the euphemism of “traditional marriage” for at least 10 years. Because out and out bigotry is no longer supported.

    Also, seriously, he’s arguing that gays are few so…what? They don’t count, their rights are meaningless if enough people just hate them? Huh, wonder why your arguments have been laughed out of courthouses and otherwise ended up as bigoted junk.

    But but but judge, they are only a handful of the population and besides they right nasty letters to oppress us!

     
     

    In a fight like this, you don’t win over hearts and minds using intimidation and mischaracterization as the central weapons. Nor will praise for diversity, followed by a demand that your opponents lie down and surrender their defenses, be something the American people are likely to respect. Indeed, Mr. Solmonese seems to claim some “right” to advocate absent any opposition — which is little more than demanding the power to oppress others with his views.

    Never mind.

    IT’S ALWAYS PROJECTION!

    I was going to let that tag slide. Just focus on the little takedowns, but no, you need to drop that massive load of projection and creamed corn all over the Thanksgiving table. Yes, the group using their first amendment rights to express their disappointment with an organization they were previously partnered with is “silencing the opposition” and the whining about how the other side is daring to use their first amendment rights is the one totally not “claiming the right to advocate absent opposition”.

    Fuck, your whole thing has been a whine that your ally lobbying and expressing the views of their hate-filled clients was fisked and examined and responded to instead of just letting it hang as the last word. The projection, captain, it’s visible from Neptune!

    If HRC really respects diversity, then Mitchell’s presence at Foley & Lardner guarantees it. And if that’s the wrong kind of diversity for Mr. Solmonese and the HRC, it is the right kind of diversity for Americans who care about strong families, grounded in the durable relationship of one man and one woman, in that wonderful and unique union called “marriage.”

    Common use definitions of words? Fuck that, I’m a skeevy wingnut lawyer. DIversity now means shut up hippie about discrimination and praise exclusionary unions!

    Seriously, though, diversity is one man one woman marriage? That’s not even an argument by wingnut standards. I know you are just a flak for one of the wingnut welfare programs to flood the justice system with idiots, but seriously, could you at least try?

     
     

    In conclusion, it’s a pretty standard flak piece for wingnut sides of any argument. Act like total dicks, get response, act like response is Hitler Times 20 and is robbing your free-speech while arguing that your arguments should be protected from criticism or response.

    Copy, paste, publish.

    Gary McCaleb serves as senior counsel and senior vice president of Direct Litigation with the Alliance Defense Fund

    Yeah, no shit, an ADF flunky wrote this tired sloppy piece. My word, a recognized Hate Group objects to gay people trying to note when their fellow ally is helping the Evil Empire? You don’t say!

    What I notice most though is that it is so over-the-top and boilerplate at the same time. They are bitching about a letter…a fucking letter and doing so like they hit find-and-replace on the “bitch about HRC” form. I think the smart goons are realizing the anti-gay money is drying out like a motherfucker and the social support for being an anti-gay bigot is disappearing faster than David Copperfield’s career and are trying to ease their way out the door leaving the true believers and other accumulated suckers footing the bill.

    Especially since for a find-and-replace, this was still subpar with no actual arguments other than, but but actual using your first amendment rights is unseemly.

    All I can say is, I hope you all stay in that boat and rot together, forever remembered like Anita Bryant and George Wallace as history’s losers.

    It’s far more than you deserve.

     
     

    Hmm, only 6 comments, well, let me see the tigers.

    Holy fuckballs.

    Where to begin?

    Okay, they don’t know what diversity means, other than they agin it and it is responsible for every minor grievance they have ever had in their lives. Diversity made men on television buffoons, Diversity is the reason we ignore the massive black on white crimes that they know are occurring but the media cover up, Diversity is the reason that raping their secretary is now called sexual harassment, Diversity forces me to pray to Mecca!

    I don’t know where to begin. I don’t know if I should begin. Okay, one mango from each of the tigers and then I flee.

     
     

    Tiger 1:

    The progressive version of diversity is the entire problem. From my observations over the years of seeing “diversity”, I see the opposite of assimilation. Diversity does nothing but promote separatism. Think about this: Today I looked up the definition of “diversity” on the Merriam-Webster web site. An antonym of diversity is “community”.

    …Hoo boy. There’s just so much packed into even this mango. Um, diversity promotes “separatism”, right, yeah, wanting to be included in the organizations trying to keep them out is nothing but demanding “separatism” and keeping people apart. Why if this was in the comments of say, “gays keep out of our marriage” argument, this would be really ironic and make this guy look like a tool.

    I also love the wingnut means of understanding complex issues. I looked in the dictionary for the definition of “diversity” or “racism” and picked the first definition that supported what I wanted to believe or would make the other side look silly.

    Why did I waste all that time writing a thesis paper on Mitochondria and aging, when I could have down two dictionary searches, hit print and saved myself months of writing and research?

    Also, that “antonym” thing?

    Here’s the full list of antonyms:

    alikeness, analogousness, analogy, community, likeness, resemblance, sameness, similarity

    Mirriam-Webster divides them per definition of a word. So if a word has multiple definitions, you get separate lists. I think you know where this is going.

    Yeah, he used the wrong definition going with “the quality or state of being different ” instead of “the quality or state of being composed of many different elements or types “.

    I’ll however note that the “community” that goes as antonym with the correct one would be the one used in the following sentence and probably is the one he is most thinking of anyways:

    “The Gated Community fought hard to resist the diversity of its first out gay family”.

     
     

    Tiger 2:

    Yes, ‘diversity’ is one of those sweet-sounding rainbow unicorn all-inclusive kumbaya aren’t-we-fair-and-openminded terms that has been appropriated by the left to mean whatever they want it to mean.

    And we can stop right there.

    He goes on to bitch about, you guessed it, dictionary definitions of diversity as if it wasn’t a commonly understood term that any actual human not living in a segregationist paradise would recognize instantly and again missing the point. I promised only one mango, but this later line is too perfect to pass up.

    Webster’s New Collegiate says “The condition of being different.” It neither advocates diversity nor does it say, “different from what.” It’s a meaningless term when applied to human beings except in the most superficial and objective ways, which is all the Left cares about. It’s got to “look like America,” whatever that means. We are losing our language to the propagandists.

    Not being white means you ain’t human and if you think you’re different than you are an idiot, because how could you not be human, which means white. I read dictionaries, I iz smart, you all idiots and propagandists trying to confuse me with brain words.

    Tiger 3:

    For years we heard that gays only wanted “Equal Rights”, but what they really want are Superior Rights. If they get their way on the Gay Marriage issue, they will only demand More “rights”, like the “right” to public perversion, or the “right” to force us “breeders” to watch. Leftists and liberals are nothing but spoiled children, if they don’t get what they demand they simply throw a tantrum until they get it.

    Yeah, they say they want the same legal treatment as straight couples, but really they want the right to force me to watch their lithe squirming bodies, hot oil in the sun as their masculine bodies strain and writhe with the passion of their thrusts, firm buttocks, fine chiseled abs, oh why was I born so homely. No, think of Jesus, sexy shirtless Jesus on the St. Andrews Cross. Oh, whip me Daddy Jesus for my naughty naughty thoughts.

    Also, IT’S ALWAYS PROJECTION. Yes, leftists are the ones who “never stop demanding bullshit when given an inch” and throw a tantrum if they don’t get their way. Did you have to look into a mirror to gain all that insight into the “liberal mind”?

     
     

    Tiger 4:

    Okay, this one I’m doing in Mangolettes.

    This HRC is a single issue advocacy organization. It has as its announced sole mission the advancement of LGBT lifestyle as a “right”.

    A “gay rights organization” advocating solely for gay rights?!? INCONCEIVABLE!

    It is just such immaturity that motivates OWS to ask for government employment guarantees and more taxes from people who work, while 47% of the population pays no income tax.

    I am a machine that can only repeat wingnut talking points. Cadillac Welfare Moms, Young Bucks with T-bone steaks, special rights, dirty hippies, it’s a condiment, essentially!

    Actually, that’s unfair, every comment is that. From every wingnut blog ever written in at least the last 10 years.

    I think the big companies that send money to these HRC folks in return for being labeled a “good guy” need to take a second and honest look at the HRC, and stop supporting attacks against traditional values.

    Um, the gay mafia does not exist, the HRC did not shakedown protection money from these people, they recognized companies with comprehensive non-discriminatory policies and who seemed to actually have out gay employees on staff or otherwise seemed to support gay rights.

    And since Rule 1 is IT’S ALWAYS PROJECTION, I’m now wondering about how anti-gay groups run fundraisers.

    Yeah, you better donate or Ima tell all your clients you a faggot. Oops, did I knock over your mother’s ashes? Better add another zero to that check.

    Tiger 5:

    Diversity is the reason why all TV sitcoms make men and Christians and rural folks look like buffoons.Diversity is the reason why the now common crime of a pack of blacks attack a lone white person is a local police problem that barely makes the news while the much rarer crime of a pack of whites attacking a lone black is a federal government imperative that makes the news for weeks. Diversity is the reason why any woman can get any man fired for sexual harassment without showing so much as a shred of actual proof. Diversity is the reason why no one can read a Bible in public schools but any public school can have a “Muslim” day and force students to pray to Mecca as a class assignment. Diversity is the reason why when Mexican students in US public schools beat up American students for wearing a US flag shirt on Cinco de Mayo, it is the American kids who are considered in the wrong. Diversity is the reason why a white or asian man will have the exact same job title and pay rate as a black man with literally 1/5 the skills sets and half the work ethic.

    You thought I was kidding before, didn’t you? Shame on you.

     
     

    Tiger 6:

    The one diversity that is Krypton to libs is diversity of opinion. In their perfect world, skin color, gender, cultural dress, all the superficials must be wildly diverse in every institution regardless of those individuals’ qualifications, but everyone must hold the exact same leftist opinion or be shunned by the hive. “Diversity” is the code word for anti-white racism and leftist group think. “Diversity training” denigrates whites (men and Christians) and exalts non-whites, women and atheism plus every religion other than Christianity including the Church of liberalism .

    IT’S ALWAYS PROJECTION! redux. Honestly, this one pisses me off the most and not just because “diversity of thought” is the big code word they invented to make a mockery of diversity programs and try and argue that being an illiterate and anti-reality bigot was a “protected class” that needed to be given free positions in colleges to counter “liberal biases” of acknowledging reality. Though that is a big part of it.

    But it’s the sheer balls on that argument that this comment makes so blindingly clear.

    There is no group more internally argumentative and inquisitive on the planet than liberals. You get two liberals in a room together and it’s merely a matter of time before they are having an argument or strong disagreement. I went to a birthday bash with a friend I largely agree with on politics and we still got into a mild disagreement on tactics on an issue we both strongly support.

    It’s the flipside of being the anti-authoritarians, of actually supporting diversity of thought, of real thought, not simply pretending every issue has “two sides” and reality must stand politely aside as “both sides” divide themselves. And it’s part of the search for truth.

    And it’s used to support people in universities, which is all about the internal debate to discover truth, who simply want to shove the authoritarian line down everyone’s throat regardless of reality and who really want to suppress the diversity of thought in our society in favor of the type of unthinking drones who post this kind of illiterate horseshit on American Stinker websites.

    And yeah, that’s what all these tigers were, a bunch of zombies spewing out the same old horseshit, a complete lack of ability to think their way out of a wet paper bag, and of course the projection, the massive fucking PROJECTION.

    And that’s really all that can be said about this whole sack of shit. These rotten mangos and tiger pelts can sink to the sea floor, never to be seen again.

    Mango trip over.

    Everyone can now come out of hiding again.

    It’s so lonely here.

     
     

    You just want more free money from the government.

    It’s not free, it’s mine. I earned it and you spend it on forced gay sex education to preschoolers and lazy people.

    You’re the government now?

    That sort of privileged entitled belief that you own everything might just very well be the sort of thing that people protest in the streets, say by occupying major centers of commerce and the centers of major cities until their message was heard.

    But now I’m just idly thinking while I wait for my check to clear for the forced anal rape of more pre-schoolers. I know, it’s a bad habit, but you know how it is when you vote for Democrats. It starts with social justice and ends with spending your entire paycheck on watching kids get raped by comprehensive sex education.

    If only you had warned me before I got hooked, then you really could have made a difference.

    Hi gang.

    Although I lived in NYC for many years, I never went to the Macy’s parade, not because it’s hokey, I can dig hokey, but because they have it at some ungodly hour of the morning. But one year when I was doing the bike messenger bit, I happened to be riding down Central Park West late one Thanksgiving Evening, when what to my wondering eyes should appear, but all the balloons for the parade being inflated on the streets next to the museum. Snoopy, Woody W., Ronald McD, etc, etc, all sort of half blown up and some in some really obscene poses. Nobody was around except the crew and a few locals. It was too cool! In a few more years it got to be a big thing and big crowds would come watch, but for a couple of years I had it pretty much to myself. A little chemical enhancement never hurt either.

    Then for awhile I lived in Hoboken, which is right across the Hudson, and on the north end of town, right by the Lincoln Tunnel, are the warehouses where they build and store the floats for the parade. Well, the same thing happens there……people come to watch while they drag ’em out, line ’em up, and drive ’em away. The last one to come out is always Santa’s sleigh, and everybody would cheer………………you could get right up close to the floats while they were waiting to go, and if nobody was looking you could even get up on them and your friends could take your picture.

    I didn’t have any family in NY, and seldom got to go to any big Thanksgiving gatherings, but there were compensations……………………….

    Happy Turkey Day Sadlies!!

     
     

    If you hate the corporations and the wealth we create for you, liberals, you are welcome to live in mud cities in the name of tolerance while we move on to the stars with high technology and hard work.

    Going Galt, yeah. We are leaving you worms behind.

    Where is your free ride gonna come from now?

     
     

    Happy Thanksgiving US friends! tsam, I hope your stuffing and gravy turn out.

     
     

    If you hate the corporations and the wealth we create for you, liberals, you are welcome to live in mud cities in the name of tolerance while we move on to the stars with high technology and hard work.

    Oh, GARSH. How’s about a little reality omelet for breffus? OK, here’s the deal: those smarty-types making neat things like iPods? Yeeeeeeeeeeeah, probably liberals. Also, all the people making art, music, film, pretty much all things of beauty? Things that make your heart sing? (And some of them getting pretty rich doing it, too, fucknut!) Pretty much ALL LIBERALS. Guess what? Some liberals are rich. And guess what? It’s not the 1% you should worry about going Galt. It’s the 99%ers who make sure that you can lead your lives of douchedom that you should fret about going Galt. The 99% MAKE YOU POSSIBLE.

    Also, please insert a turkey into your rectum, post-haste.

     
     

    Oh how fun, a Thanksgiving turkey!

    Yes please, leave for the paradise of free markets that is Somalia. All you need is a boat and an AK-47 and unlimited riches are yours for the taking.

     
     

    Hey! Get your hand outta there!

     
     

    The filth and squalor of Stockholm, when compared to the sublime beauty of Detroit, speak more eloquently than any words of the beneficial impact of economic stratification.

     
     

    The sad part is that I think people like 1% enjoy Stockholm precisely because Detroit exists, kwim?

     
     

    Indeed LC, those failed European states…

    oh wait…

     
     

    Jeffraham Prestonian: … including the one I worked for until I refused to steal for them? Whose “ethics” department was to catch whistleblowers before th company had to give the DoJ another $1.7B?

    What, you used to work for Rick “Eraserhead” Scott’s health care Medicare fraud outfit? My fellow Floridians elected him Governor, but only because Messrs. Dahmer, Manson and Gacy were indisposed and unable to run.

     
     

    Liberals don’t hate corporations, nor the wealth they create. Liberals hate the greedy, slimy CEOs and executives who are awarded multi-million-dollar bonuses while stripping their companies to the bare bones, moving jobs overseas, avoiding any and all taxes at all costs, lobbying both GOP and Democratic congressrats for any breaks and regulation cuts they can imagine, no matter what the cost to the consumer.

    You fucking 1%-ers are in for a rude awakening, and it’s been decades in the coming.

    On a lighter note, Happy Turkey Day to all the Naughts!

     
     

    Sadlies: don’t ask us why we tolerate Obama’s intolerance to gay marriage
    We’re not “hypocrite” hypocrites.

     
     

    It’s a little early for me to be up! At least lemme get my coffee!

     
     

    BTW, there appears to be some kind of Arrested Development marathon going on at IFC. Yay!

    Jokes about there being an arrested development marathon going on in my brain will get you banned.

     
     

    Is Obama’s ‘intolerance to gay marriage’ the reason why he doesn’t defend DOMA, Dennis from Richmond, VA?:

    Obama has previously expressed his personal opposition to the Defense of Marriage Act but had never stated an opinion relating to its constitutionality.

    The administration had a March 11 deadline to respond to two lawsuits against the measure in New York. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals — which includes New York — is the only federal circuit to have never decided the basic legal question of whether a law discriminates against gay men and lesbians.

    Republicans immediately ripped the White House’s decision, calling it a distraction at a time when they said the focus needs to be on the economy.

    “While Americans want Washington to focus on creating jobs and cutting spending,the president will have to explain why he thinks now is the appropriate time to stir up a controversial issue that sharply divides the nation,” said Michael Steel, spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio.

    Representative Lamar Smith, R-Texas, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, called the move a “transparent attempt to shirk the (Justice) Department’s duty to defend the laws passed by Congress.”

    “This is the real politicization of the Justice Department — when the personal views of the president override the government’s duty to defend the law of the land,” Smith said.

    White House press secretary Jay Carney said the administration had to make a decision before the court-imposed deadline. He stressed, however, that the law will continue to be enforced.

    House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-California, praised the administration’s decision, calling it a key step forward in the push for equal rights for gays and lesbians.

    http://articles.cnn.com/2011-02-23/politics/obama.gay.marriage_1_jay-carney-obama-administration-justice-department?_s=PM:POLITICS

    More recently:

    I need your help to fight for equality, to pass a repeal of DOMA, to pass an inclusive employment non-discrimination bill, so that being gay is never again a fireable offensive in America,” said Obama. “And I don’t have to tell you, there are those who don’t want to just stand in our way, but want to turn the clock back, who want to return to the days when gay people couldn’t serve their country openly. Who reject the progress we’ve made. Who … want to enshrine discrimination in state laws and constitutions — efforts that we’ve got to work hard to oppose, because that’s not what America should be about. We’re not about restricting rights and restricting opportunity.

    Obama also cited the White House summit he held to fight youth bullying, saying it was an issue his administration would continue to press.

    “Together, we also have to keep sending a message to every young person in this country who might feel alone or afraid because they’re transgender,” he said. “They may be getting picked on or pushed around because they’re different. We’ve got to make sure they know there are adults they can talk to, that they are never alone, that there is a whole world waiting for them, filled with possibility. … And I want all those kids to know the president and the first lady is standing right by them every inch of the way. I want them to know we love them and care about them, and they’re not by themselves.”

    The dinner was the last one under the helm of HRC President Joe Solmonese, who has led the organization since 2005 and recently announced he would be stepping down.

    “No president has done more to improve the lives of LGBT people than President Obama,” said Solomnese in his introduction of the president. “No longer will gay and lesbian couples be kept apart when we are at our most vulnerable, at the hospital, thanks to President Obama. He kept his word, and he ushered in the end of DADT while others promised to reopen the wounds of that discriminatory policy. And unlike those who want to keep same-sex couples as strangers under federal law, our president has called the Defense of Marriage Act unconstitutional and indefensible.

    Spend some time with your family, Dennis, isn’t that what your late sister would’ve wanted, instead of miserably failing with your comments here today?

     
     

    If there’s one thing libs are infamous for, it’s the monolithic cultural & philosophical unity they always display.

    You just don’t know how often I hear that complaint about Occupy! Ok, it’s never, but you didn’t know until I told you.

    Think about this: Today I looked up the definition of “diversity” on the Merriam-Webster web site. An antonym of diversity is “community”.

    Yea verily, think ye also on this: today I looked up synonyms on thesaurus.com web site. A synonym of community is “commune.” Also “stomping ground” which sounds violent, so I’m guessing dude is a Stalinist.

     
     

    you are welcome to live in mud cities in the name of tolerance while we move on to the stars with high technology and hard work.

    Mud cities at least won’t vaporize you, and I find breathable air is rather a nice thing to have around. Anyway, no hard feelings Mr Galt, enjoy your life on a star!

     
     

    I think the big companies that send money to these HRC folks in return for being labeled a “good guy” need to take a second and honest look at the HRC, and stop supporting attacks against traditional values.

    Ooh, is he going to write them a letter and tell them that?!!!

     
     

    Okay, catching up on mangoes while waiting for the family to get back from Thanksgiving morning mass…

    The one diversity that is Krypton to libs is diversity of opinion. In their perfect world, skin color, gender, cultural dress, all the superficials must be wildly diverse in every institution regardless of those individuals’ qualifications, but everyone must hold the exact same leftist opinion or be shunned by the hive. “Diversity” is the code word for anti-white racism and leftist group think.

    Obligatory pop culture reference to show that conservatives are hip, check – pop culture reference is in fact seventy years old, check.

    But, really, that’s seriously not true. Compare the arguments people have on Sadly, No! or (much more so) Balloon Juice with the way every comment in PJMedia can be summed up as “Roger Simon Johnson is right: why do you think he’s right?” Compare the way progressives relate to Obama (took less than a year before the withering criticism from the “professional left” started up) with the complete absence of any criticism of Bush by the Gooper base until after 2008 (“he was a liberal all along! WE KNEW IT!!!”) Or, if you’re going to the extremes, compare the way the far left invariably splinters into a dozen different parties while the far right remains one party (BNP, BZO, FN) goose-stepping in lockstep to whatever the Fuhrer says.

    Sorry. Differences of opinion are FAR better suited to the left than to the right, where they basically don’t exist (or if they do, are subsumed to the need to serve The Greater Movement).

     
     

    Diversity is the reason why any woman can get any man fired for sexual harassment without showing so much as a shred of actual proof.

    Yes, it’s true! It’s fucking IMPOSSIBLE for a man to survive an accusation of sexual harassment! Just ask Herman Cain!

     
     

    There is no group more internally argumentative and inquisitive on the planet than liberals. You get two liberals in a room together and it’s merely a matter of time before they are having an argument or strong disagreement. I went to a birthday bash with a friend I largely agree with on politics and we still got into a mild disagreement on tactics on an issue we both strongly support.

    It’s the flipside of being the anti-authoritarians, of actually supporting diversity of thought, of real thought, not simply pretending every issue has “two sides” and reality must stand politely aside as “both sides” divide themselves. And it’s part of the search for truth.

    And it’s used to support people in universities, which is all about the internal debate to discover truth, who simply want to shove the authoritarian line down everyone’s throat regardless of reality and who really want to suppress the diversity of thought in our society in favor of the type of unthinking drones who post this kind of illiterate horseshit on American Stinker websites.

    Fuck. I should’ve known you or someone else would’ve gotten this already… consider me ahem’d.

     
     

    Shorter Kevin D. Williamson:

    Questlove’s sexist joke about Michele Bachmann proves that he’s a bad drummer.

     
     

    Liberals don’t hate corporations, nor the wealth they create.

    Indeed.

    But if they were to acknowledge that, their argument would fall apart and they’d no longer get to make their long-winded intellectual tirades against the evils of socialism and how silly people on the other side of the aisle just don’t understand [whatever]. So you can sort of forgive them for talking to the straw men, it’s much more up their alley.

     
     

    Today I looked up the definition of “diversity” on the Merriam-Webster web site. An antonym of diversity is “community”.

    this should be in scare quotes…well actually diversity is, but the whole thing should be…because obviously before *today* the antonym for diversity was something other than community…like it’s changed suddenly because of why?

     
     

    Going Galt, yeah. We are leaving you worms behind.

    Could you? Could you, please? Like, could you ACTUALLY do it already instead of just standing at the door like five-year-olds bellowing “MOMMY, if you don’t give me back my cookies, I’M GOING TO LEAVE AND NEVER COME BACK!!!!” Because see, like Mommy, I’m perfectly aware that it’s an empty threat and that you have no intention of leaving all the creature comforts of your current position just to make a philosophical point, and unlike Mommy, I’d actually be thrilled if you did carry out your threat.

    Going Galt? Oh NOES!!! Please, please, please, please, please, please, please, pretty please with a cherry on top DON’T throw us into that briar patch!

     
     

    Where is your free ride gonna come from now?

    certainly not to the black friday sales! really, that whole thing is so overwhelming to me that it makes me feel claustrophobic/appalled/angry all at the same time…yeah, corporations are awesome…i’m going to fund my own research project that says black friday really is the cause of the demise of the nuclear family…

    I hate to break it to you, sweetpuff, but five seconds into the “galt paradise” the 1% will be wondering why the food isn’t magically filling the refrigerator, which is now off and defrosting in their unlit mansion, which wouldn’t even exist in the first place, and wondering why they’re knowledge on how to short casino deals in the rigged game of the Stock Market didn’t somehow translate into all those “meaningless and easy jobs” that must be so because why else would poor people do it.

    And I know it’s just a parody, but that space Galt idea sounds capital, puts me in mind of B-Ark.

I’m making ham, mashed potatoes, gravy, green bean casserole with the French Fried Onions and Cream of Mushroom soup (just like the Pilgrims made), yeast rolls, aforementioned cranberry nut bread, pecan pie, pumpkin pie, and cranberry sauce. No turkey. We’re not all that fond of it and I don’t want the freezer packed with turkey bits I have to find a use for. We need room for Cloud’s home-made ice cream in there.

    You’re supposed to feel grateful because he’s working hard and being productive to advance humanity… note the lofty goal, “humanity”… and we should show our gratitude by abolishing all taxes on him, lest the work he do actually go to benefiting “humanity” as opposed to just himself.

    5) Profit”

    Not to mention that guys like that (the guy who cured polio) have a tendency to be working with public money in the first place. The private sector has its moments, plenty of them, but how much of what it does is simply taking something invented by underpaid researchers working with federal grants, and then once all the little bugs have been worked out of the system, swooping in and marketing it for mass consumption? Like, say, the Internet (thank DOD)?

    Hell, who was it who was talking about “going to the stars” up above? Going to the stars went something like this: the Communist government of Russia got there first, the Keynesian (which to them means communist) government of America got there second, a bunch of other governments got there, and then, half a century after Gagarin, whatsisface finally comes up with SpaceShipOne. Thank Christ we weren’t counting on the free market to beat Russia to the moon.

    It’s always like this with these entitled fuckers. “I took the risk that led to the innovation, so I demand the following:

    Ok, my husband is an entrepreneur, so he meets lots of other entrepreneurs and lots of investor types, and what he tells me is the further away from really doing anything someone is, the bigger their ego tends to be. IOW, the VCs who never did anything but invest are the absolute worst about bragging how smart and important they are to the economy, the VCs who did something a million years ago next, and those who just did or are currently doing something are the nicest, humblest, and most understanding because they either remember or are currently experiencing how hard it is and how much depends on pure luck: so many great ideas just run out of money or never get traction because of completely external things(there are exceptions on both ends, but most have fit this pattern). Of course, the dumber a person is the less likely they are to succeed either as a real innovator or as an investor of other people’s money, as even the best luck can’t always conquer the power of the stupid, so my guess is “oh yeah, I’m so TOtally a 1%er” is filled to the uttermost with p00p.

     
     

    From previous thread:
    My vote is for frozen and flung at her front door,,,
    Turkey-pult?
    Gobblelista?
    Poultrebuchet?

    Catapoultry. D’UH.

     
     

    I hunted down and shot my first turkey this year.

    Scared the hell out of the other shoppers in the frozen foods aisle…

     
     

    D-K Dub’s dad’s stuffed like Thanksgiving turkey
    His ass full of sausage, his mouth with cock jerky
    All that butter and lard keeps him tender, not sore
    But the tragedy is DK’s mom’s still the whore.

     
     

    McGravitas’ pop is an insatiable beast,
    For gobbling on knobs, his favourite feast
    And potato dildos mashed all up in his bum
    But the real slutty whore is Subby’s fat mum.

     
     

    Your dad is a sex pig all covered with gravy
    And can’t get enough of the dinks of the navy
    He’ll take any old sailor, a native or foreigner
    Yet your mom’s still the grocery-store whore on the corner.

     
     

    Your father has had many birds up his ass
    In ramming meat he belongs to a real Master Class
    Of anal play, your dad knows a helluva lot more
    Than anyone save your mom the slutty whore.

     
     

    The father of Substance McG
    Fucks all teh men he can see
    But he cannot compete
    With the innumerable feats
    Of the slatternly whore, his mommy.

     
     

    Ahh Sadly, No. Where else can you find a “your mom’s the whore!” flamewar set to poetry.

     
     

    Your dad loves Thanksgiving pigskin,
    A football he shoves right in
    His holiday crack
    With a blitzing attack
    While your mom whores herself out again.

     
     

    squash casserole ready to go
    broccoli cheese casserole ready to go
    All that is left is to pop them in the oven when the turkey is done and make the balsamic glazed green beans

     
     

    Two men make up limericks to mock
    used-up whore moms and worn-out dad cock
    you really both needn’t
    argue whose antecedent
    is worse: you both come from admirable stock.

     
     

    Ahh Sadly, No. Where else can you find a “your mom’s the whore!” flamewar set to poetry.

    I can haz Sestina?
    But I will settle for six lines, cleverly rhymed, and every word beginning with the letter s.

     
     

    Acrannymint had me confused. Then I realized she wasn’t playing.

     
     

    tigris’ dad loves to engage in filthy sick couplets
    or maybe bigger groups, like quint or sextuplets
    he loves group sex because his ass craves many dicks
    but your whoring mom is the queen of turning tricks.

     
     

    I’m just not that creative. I am however intrigued by people’s choices of nyms. I recognize some of the literary/music/movie references. I just use an acronym. Considering my name is very common that isn’t a big reveal.

     
     

    People can use pseudonyms here? Why wasn’t I apprised of this option?!

     
     

    Ok, my husband is an entrepreneur, so he meets lots of other entrepreneurs and lots of investor types, and what he tells me is the further away from really doing anything someone is, the bigger their ego tends to be.

    I think this holds true for the entire human race. The people who really matter tend to be those who don’t feel the need to talk about it all the time.

    I don’t know how it is that living mere minutes outside of DC, we have access to anything even RESEMBLING that level of cuisine. DC only very recently became a “food town,” I think.

     
     

    You’re trying to make me jealous, and it’s working.

     
     

    In a fight like this, you don’t win over hearts and minds using intimidation and mischaracterization as the central weapons.

    But enough about the religious right.

    Seriously, watch your step if you get off the boat; you could cut yourself badly on all the oblivious irony lying around over there.

    It’s wrong, and it’s impolite, but that doesn’t mean it’s not funny or true.

    No, it is funny and true. And I actually really enjoyed it, but felt pretty bad for enjoying it, because I think it makes me hypocrite. I usually come down pretty hard on people who use gendered insults. (And isn’t weird that the worst one are always for women? Hmmmmmm.) It’s a great song, Fishbone was amazeballs, The Roots did them right, they’re an amazing group of musicians…but I still feel kind of…ooky about the whole thing.

    Being a longtime HUGE, HUGE Fishbone fan that particular secret insult felt like a gift to me. I just wish it hadn’t been THAT gift. Aren’t there any songs about dicks and assholes?

    Wait…

    I have a song called “Disorganized Fun” in my liberry, which somehow seems apt…although I don’t know how *fun* One L is.

     
     

    “She’s Come Undone” (or “Undun”, I believe) would be especially appropriate, as it was written by Randy Bachmann. And his son did “She’s So High”, which would work too.

    Be careful out there on Black Friday, Sadlies. So far I count a shooting and a pepper spraying incident inside the store by a “competitive” shopper, according to police.

     
     

    And I am trying to talk to my 13-year old kid about the dangers and shallowness of our consumerist society. He hears some of that, I think.

     
     

    Tell us again how tolerant Southern Conservatives are, Dennis:

    NASHVILLE, Tenn. – A Nashville man claims he and his 10-year-old daughter were the victims of road rage Thursday afternoon all because of a political bumper sticker on his car.

    Mark Duren told News 2 the incident happened around 4:30 p.m. while he was driving on Blair Boulevard, not far from Belmont University.

    He said Harry Weisiger gave him the bird and rammed into his vehicle, after noticing an Obama-Biden sticker on his car bumper.

    Duren had just picked up his daughter from school and had her in the car with him.

    “He pointed at the back of my car, the bumper,” Duren said, “flipped me off, one finger salute.”

    It didn’t end there.

    Duren told News 2 that Weisiger honked his horn at him for awhile, as Duren stopped at a stop sign.

    Once he started driving again, down Blair Boulevard towards his home, he said, “I looked in the rear view mirror again, and this same SUV was speeding, flying up behind me, bumped me.”

    Duren said he applied his brake and the SUV smashed into the back of his car.

    He then put his car in park to take care of the accident, but Weisiger started pushing the car using his SUV.

    Duren said, “He pushed my car up towards the sidewalk, almost onto the sidewalk.”

    Police charged Weisiger with felony reckless endangerment for the incident.

    http://www.wkrn.com/global/story.asp?s=12208009

    That’s all you need to know about conservative tolerance, folks.

    Keep whining, Dennis, it makes you seem so mature.

    Black friday. Walmart. Acid washed jeans. SCORE

     
     

    Phew!

     
     

    Everyone’s out shopping, aren’t they?

    Some of us are Canadian, eh? But thanks for having your consumerist orgy today – traffic on teh way to work was much lighter than usual.

     
     

    So the secret of your incredible magnetism lies in your acid washed jeans? I KNEW IT!

     
     

    Not shopping. Drove the tractor a few miles up the road to do some bush-hogging (sure) and had as peaceful a morning as one can on a 45 year old diesel tractor with a five foot mower deck.

     
     

    No shopping today. Going to the dog park.

    So, is Haley the biggest whiny-ass in the universe, or what? Fuck, any conservative will tell you: Liberals don’t own guns!

    See, this is the same threat level as the wingers who populate my local rag’s comments section, all het up at the OWSers, and how they’re ripping off the taxpayers by not paying to camp, who threaten to haul their tents out to any park they want just to “I’LL SHOW THEM” everyone. That claim gets made a couple dozen times a day in any OWS-related article, and it cracks me up, every time. Show me any cause that’d cause a winger to live in a tent for two days (let alone two months) in cold weather. Abortion won’t do it, raising taxes on the millionaires they’llnever be won’t do it… so, what, then?

    So far I count a shooting and a pepper spraying incident inside the store by a “competitive” shopper, according to police.

    the pepper spraying was done by a woman who was a FOX News devotee. Obviously, she felt she was feeding the homeless.

    1.) What they did was give the teen(s) $500, and said, “Have fun camping out to buy your own goddamned Christmas shit, and;
    2.) Went back to watching TV, and ignoring the fact that Wal*World was advertising (“Commercial — time for more nachos!”) that they’re going to be open 24/7 for Black Friday, so teen(s) are out partying like a motherfucker on the extra money, and spending a couple of nights with their hook-up of choice. Possibly gay hook-up, too.

    Brownback is perfectly justified in griefing a teenager over something as important as #heblowsalot!

    The liberal media are to blame for the rising tide of #heblowsalot that Brownback now faces.

    Fortunately, as of the time of the construction of this comment there are a mere 229 Google hits for #heblowsalot.

    With any luck his noble morality-affirming act of trolling will prevail over any minor outbreak of Brownbackian #heblowsalot blowback..

    Sadly, none of this will erase the ugly fact that …#heblowsalot, as well as that #heblowsalot.

    There once was a swimmer called Dennis
    Who used for a snorkel a pennis
    He sucked and he blew
    Air did not come through
    And a watery grave is where Den is.

     
     

    Oooooh, I like Dennis poetry.

     
     

    “There’s two moar films in that series!”

    Hmm, the same goes with you.

    Binkies 4 Brownback sounds great since he sucks so much, but I’m afraid he’ll just lose them all since #heblowsalot

     
     

    “The few guys who brought guns to tea party rallies were in compliance with the law.”

    Then America has some fucked-up laws and Dennis I’m sure would support a group of armed “Black Panthers” carrying guns that are in complicance with these fucked up laws in front of Nikki Haley’s house

    Been playing with the new camera. Bagoas did NOT want to go out in the cold, pelting rain.

    You should take more pictures. Of food.

     
     

    In fact I demand pictographic essays of food prep every goddamned night.

     
     

    Pup, I think you have a genuine fanboy.

     
     

    Okay Twitter-users, now’s teh time to add some velocity to #heblowsalot. Brownback’s booboo is trending locally after having been picked up by TPM, Gawker, Wonkette and Slate today. Just tweet anything with teh hashtag attached.

     
     

    You really CAN find anything on amazon….

     
     

    Bagoas did NOT want to go out in the cold, pelting rain.

    Someone has stolen your dog and replaced it with a small knitted soft toy.

     
     

    I’ll do my part, DK-W.

     
     

    For the love of pants people, just ignore me. Every time you take the bait and respond to me you give meaning and purpose to my soulless shell of a life, thereby encouraging me to continue being a purposefully belligerent, contrarian toerag.

    There is absolutely no purpose in pointing out my obvious fallacies, my hypocrisy, or my ability to conjure up whatever “facts” I need by massaging Google. I don’t listen and don’t care, does it look like silly things like the truth or objectivity matter to me? My purpose in life is to annoy you and get a response, and without that response my happy feeling of self-superiority goes away. And without that, why would I even be here?

     
     

    Thanx vs. Starting to look like I need a Twitter of my own. hrmf. mmmummble. offamahlawn.

     
     

    Id like to be able to bug you on as many platforms as possible.

     
     

    … purposefully belligerent, contrarian toerag.

    How lyrical!

     
     

    ,,,and without that response my happy feeling of self-superiority goes away,,,

    Unlikely. Pennis is incapable of losing that smug feeling of self-superiority. His skillz at selectively ignoring facts are EPIC. He can twist reality liek too many hits of acid.

    Teh savage beatings that troll get here is one of teh draws. Subby did it in verse, St. jim regularly delivers quality bitchslaps so severe that make the intartubules spin. Even if it’s not your thing a lot of teh replies are quite entertaining.

    If you’re really upset or offended by troll feeding, then contribute something else to the convo. I made a Neal Horsley comment earlier that just got left alone! Neal Horsely!

    Plus that thing about teh killfile add-on doohickey.

     
     

    Oh, you mean the person who opposes Republican wealth redistribution to the people who need it least,

    Shorter Olexicon: “Republicans made him do it!”

    Maybe you should have a moment of silence for him…..with up-tinkles.

     
     

    Dennis: Now with less than your daily requirement of fuching ferrets.

     
     

    Yeah really. I miss the fuching ferrets and the Bigfoot updates.

     
     

    Dennis is a demonstration of an old Texas saying:

    “You can ‘t fix stupid.”

    Bless his heart.

     
     

    “You can’t fix stupid.”

     
     

    Now, you’re working my side of the street, Dark Avanger. You leave the grammatical errors and misspellings to the professionals!

     
     

    So Dennis admits that Republicans redistribute wealth to those who least need it? I can’t see how that helps your arguement

     
     

    That’s one of those rules of the Internet:

    . Skitt’s Law
    Expressed as “any post correcting an error in another post will contain at least one error itself” or “the likelihood of an error in a post is directly proportional to the embarrassment it will cause the poster.”

    It is an online version of the proofreading truism Muphry’s Law, also known as Hartman’s Law of Prescriptivist Retaliation: “any article or statement about correct grammar, punctuation, or spelling is bound to contain at least one eror”.

    Language Log quotes the following example, from Paul Ordoveza’s How Now, Brownpau? blog:

    “For too long, we linguistic pedants have cringed, watching this phrase used, misused, and abused, again, and again, and again. ‘This begs the question…’ [we hear], and we must brace ourselves as the ignoramii of modern society literally ask a question after the phrase.”

    While Mr Ordoveza’s point is entirely valid (“begging the question” is a logical fallacy, meaning to “beggar the question”, or assume your conclusion in your premise – not to raise the question), the plural of ignoramus is ignoramuses.

    It was apparently first stated by G Bryan Lord, referring to a user named Skitt, on Usenet in 1998.

    Well after all those death threats against Obama are because he is a Democrat who has the temerity to get elected

     
     

    OMG INDOCTRINATION

    “Emma Sullivan, a senior at Shawnee Mission East High School in Prairie Village, was in Topeka on Monday as part of Kansas Youth in Government, a program for students interested in politics and government.
    During the session, in which Brownback addressed the group, Sullivan posted on her personal Twitter page: “Just made mean comments at gov brownback and told him he sucked, in person #heblowsalot”
    On Tuesday, Sullivan was called to her principal’s office and told that the tweet had been flagged by someone on Brownback’s staff and reported to organizers of the Youth in Government program. […]
    Sullivan said the principal ordered her to write letters of apology to Brownback, the school’s Youth in Government sponsor, the district’s social studies coordinator and others.”

     
     

    So Dennis admits that Republicans redistribute wealth to those who least need it? I can’t see how that helps your arguement.

    One well-known rule of the internet is that when a lib starts a sentence with “So,”, the next thing written will be a lie.

    This has been proven time and again.

     
     

    Another truth of the internet is anything that Dennis says is a lie and is said with the dicks of many reich men in his mouth

     
     

    Well he hasn’t denied that Republicans redistribute wealth to the people that need it least, America has invaded middle eastern countries over less

     
     

    So, Olexicon, what you’re saying is you admire me and you have no argument.

    Interesting.

     
    The Very Reverend Battleaxe of Knowledge
     

    So, DenDen—people being allowed to stalk around with penis substitutes AR-15s and T-shirts talking about “The Blood of Tyrants” at any Bush appearance…I assume you know of examples? Please share.

     
     

    Dennis admitting that Republicans redistribute wealth can be seen here

    “Oh, you mean the person who opposes Republican wealth redistribution to the people who need it least,

    Shorter Olexicon: “Republicans made him do it!”

    by saying “Republicans made him do it” you tacitly admit that Repbbicans redistribute wealth, so if you want to stop being a whore for rich assholes now would be the time

     
     

    By his lack of answer I think Dennis would be fine with a group of “Black Panthers” carrying submachine guns outside Nikki Haley’s house

     
     

    Poor Dennis, suffering the attacks of libs here whilst carrying on the GWB tradition of compassionate conservatism.

     
     

    We need a brutal cleansing flood of second amendment solutions to water the tree of liberty with the blood of you violent libs.

     
     

    Wrong, Olexicon, I didn’t admit anything. I was fascinated by your ability to both justify a death threat against a sitting governor of a state by blaming his actions on Republicans. I thought actor blaming Lee Harvey Oswald’s actions on right-wingers this week was going to be the most absurd thing I’d read by any liberal, but then you came along and had to one-up him. The competitive spirit is stiff here, I have to admit.

    The funniest thing I read by a liberal this week were two simple words by Cerberus up above…….”In conclusion”.

     
    The Very Reverend Battleaxe of Knowledge
     

    By his lack of answer I think Dennis would be fine with a group of “Black Panthers” carrying submachine guns outside Nikki Haley’s house

    No, no, Lex—the people outside with the guns have to be lighter-skinned than the people inside. (Although I’m sure there are—were, rather—plenty of Black Panthers lighter-skinned than Nikki Haley.)

     
     

    Racist, Battleax.

    No need to worry. Republicans make you that way, so everyone here will understand. They’ll say you were just kidding.

     
     

    So Dennis what’s your take on all of the death threats against President Obama?

     
     

    Shorter Dennis

    “Reading comprehension is not my strong suit, but taking offense at stuff people never actually said by twisting their words that shit is my specialty”

     
     

    Dennis didn’t address the love the conservative in TN showed the liberal by forcing him off the road, so don’t expect him to say anything negative about death threats not made to a conservative.

     
     

    P.S. Next time we’re coming armed. Also this time.

     
     

    Any thoughts on the “Occupy Shooter” who loves Israel just like a Tea Partier, and says Obama is the antichrist just like a Tea Partier?

    How about the “Occupy House Majority Leader” who colluded with Obummer on the debt ceiling increase?

     
     

    So Dennis what’s your take on all of the death threats against President Obama?

    Unlike tsam and his merry band of supporters here, Olexi, I’m against death threats.

     
     

    Dennis
    -against Death threats, but for carrying submachine guns near the President

     
     

    I’m sure that’s why the Occupy hippies gave the White House shooter a moment of silence and a round of up tinkles, Pennis, because he was just like a Tea Partier. Makes a lot of sense.

    Oy.

     
     

    Dennis reminds me an awful lot of MRA’s who bring up the incredibly rare instances where women are misandrist to nullify the argument that misogyny exists.

    But Dennis can blather all he wants. For every case of fringe, lefty nuttiness, there are a thousand cases of right-wing nuttery. That’s just a fact.

     
     

    Probable location of liberal Detainee # 3697 who brought assault rifle to Bush rally:

    Cell Block D, Enhanced Interrogation Facility #6, location classified

     
     

    I heard that the Occupy hippies had a candlelight vigil for the Occupy shooter and the candles were making baby candles and one of the babies looked at me*.

    * Source: Fox News

     
     

    Much like the yearly moment of silence for the Oklahoma City bomber at Anne Coulter’s house

     
     

    Dennis-against Death threats, but for carrying submachine guns near the President.

    Didn’t say I was for it. Just said it was pure liberal hyocrisy to freak out over it then and since then to this day but then not only remain silent about a death threat against a governor, but in your case, justify it on grounds that it’s ok to do to Republicans because they redistribute wealth to the folks who need it least.

    Libs are incapable of recognizing their hypocrisy. It’s amazing.

     
     

    I MADE A POOPY LOOK I MADE A POOPY

     
     

    Libs are incapable of recognizing their hypocrisy. That’s probably because they’re antisemites in league with GEORGE SOROS and SAUL ALINSKY!

     
     

    But what about the FUCHING FERRETS, huh? Huh?

    I suppose it’s possible D is not aware of all Sadly traditions. He also has not stated a clear position (heh) in re: the up on the downstroke technique.

     
     

    Dennis
    -Not able to understand that nobody is for death threats, silence does not mean condoning, but sure smearing the White House shooter as being part of the Occupy movement that’s alright in my book

     
     

    Much like the yearly moment of silence for the Oklahoma City bomber at Anne Coulter’s house

    That is patently unfair. The Tea Party Patriots only held a rally to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the OKC bombing.

     
     

    For every case of fringe, lefty nuttiness, there are a thousand cases of right-wing nuttery. That’s just a fact.

    Saying that on a liberal website doesn’t make it so, vs. Neither does ignoring left-wing nuttery or describing it as fringe, try as you might.

     
     

    Amidst the trollery, an appropriate musical interlude: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVQKiqCZ9No

     
     

    No but it actually being true and documented does.

    And describing something as “fringe” does not mean that I excuse it.

     
     

    vacuumslayer, please tell me you didn’t just try to prove your point about what is documented fact and what is nothing more than your own biased conjecture by pointing to a weblog at DailyKos by some guy named ‘goinsouth’.

    Please tell me you were distracted by the baby. Something, anything like that.

    Please.

     
     

    Someone tried to shoot Obama? LEFT-WING NUTTERY

    Attempted assassination of a Democratic congressperson? LEFT-WING NUTTERY

    Right-wing blogger kills a hundred children because they were “socialists”? WHAT PART OF LEFT-WING NUTTERY DO YOU LIBS NOT UNDERSTAND?

     
     

    vacuumslayer, please tell me you didn’t just try to prove your point about what is documented fact and what is nothing more than your own biased conjecture by pointing to a weblog at DailyKos by some guy named ‘goinsouth’.

    Please.

    In what way was that conjecture?

     
     

    They’re just called barbecued pennies kid, don’t try putting them in the vending machine.

     
     

    In what way was that conjecture?

    Silly VS, you linked to DailyKos! Don’t you know it’s biased and untrue unless it’s reported by Fox News or another solidly established conservative media institution?

     
     

    Hang on, vs, I’m going through some old Free Republic threads to prove the opposite is true. BRB.

     
     

    LALALALALA I CAN’T HEAR YOU LALALALA

     
     

    Because Free Republic is exactly commensurate with Daily Kos.

     
    The Very Reverend Battleaxe of Knowledge
     

    I’ve been kind of out of it for a few days what with The Apocalypse Thanksgiving and The Opening of the Hellmouth Black Friday, but you don’t mean to suggest to me that some of these assholes are trying to palm off the teabagger sniper on OWS do you?

     
     

    My main quibble with VS’s link (no offense intended cause it makes a ton of good points) is that it speaks of Ku Klux Klan racial terrorism and anti-Wobbly union-busting in two separate breaths. As I recall, the Klan was just as much a tool of the rich and powerful and an instrument of class warfare, as of racial warfare, staunch anti-unionists from start to finish. (Helps that so much of the union movement was full of immigrants, especially Catholics – and especially, I’d imagine, with racially integrated unions like the Wobblies).

    Otherwise – the Wilson quote about Birth Of A Nation is usually considered a myth, I believe. That’s kind of another quibble, because his own racist beliefs are on the public record: he was the one who officialized segregation in a lot of government offices.

    As for the 1930s Business Coup, has anyone ever established if that really happened or if it was just cocktail party fantasizing? I lean towards the latter just because it seems incredible that any coup plotters of that kind would have been fucking stupid enough to rely on Smedley Butler to lead their coup, the guy’s hatred of Wall Street was very much on the public record. It’s also possible, I suppose, that Butler somehow heard of the coup or heard rumors of such a thing and decided to blow the whistle by pretending that they’d approached him.

    Like I said, no offense meant, because the link still makes a ton of good points and its main thesis about double standards is spot on.

     
     

    Just a “gee whiz” sort of non-sequitor here, but I’m having trouble finding just straight-up statistical analysis of left-wing vs. right-wing terrorism and/or violence. There are a lot of places with a political bent trying to make a case for either side having a monopoly…but while the Right obviously owns this, I’m having trouble locating JUST DATA. I don’t know if I’m searching for the wrong things or what, but any help would be appreciated. And this actually isn’t about Dennis now, I’m just honestly curious about the STATS now.

     
     

    OK, Chris. Um, thanks for that.

    I was actually just going with the first semi-credible link I found. Dennis claims it’s “conjecture,” but has not informed me as to how the things mentioned on the page are unproven.

     
     

    Dennis was an internet troll
    crying “Libruls R all on the dole”
    His logical fail
    was tepid and frail
    but for mockery he has a role.

     
     

    Sorry. Bad timing, I know, but it takes a good text to get me arguing and quibbling in the first place, if that helps any. 🙂 And none of the things I pointed out take away from the article’s main point.

    (For one thing, the Business Plot may or may not have been real – but if a similar accusation had been made against a left-wing organization, is there even the slightest doubt that HUAC, the FBI and the rest would have investigated the shit out of it and not given it a rest until they’d have a ton of heads on a platter? Hell, they didn’t even wait for outside accusations before deciding that the Wobblies or other people like them were dangerous radicals plotting to destroy America).

     
     

    Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer…do.
    I’m half crazy….all for the love of…you.
    It won’t be a fancy marriage
    I can’t afford a carriage
    But…..you’ll……..look………sweet

    B—u—i—l—t……………………………….f———o————-r………………………………………………………t————————w————————o……………………….

     
     

    Shit, I don’t even need to link to any stats to make Dennis look like the stupid asshole he is on this one. This is easy: Dennis, link for us any instance you can find of any liberal doing the equivalent of any of these:

    – shooting abortion doctors or placing bombs in Olympic parks
    – placing bombs at MLK day parades
    – Shooting up a church because those are the people they can get to
    – Having a shootout with the police on the way to shoot up the Heritage Foundation
    – blowing up daycare centers at federal buildings and slaughtering babies to show displeasure with the federal government. Or, for that matter, flying planes into federal offices as a “protest”.

    Feel free to point us to equivalent liberal crimes. And no, two scary black guys standing outside a single, largely black voting precinct in Philadelphia and claiming to be “New Black Panthers” is not considered an equivalent.

     
     

    I mean, I thought it was the sort of thing that everyone–save the truly delusional–just knew. Like global warming exists. But, yeah, people still want proof for that, too.

     
    The Very Reverend Battleaxe of Knowledge
     

    But speaking of OWS, yes, Dennis, they may not accomplish anything specific or concrete. Neither did the Bonus Marchers. What happened to them, however, turned my Dad, growing up in a solidly Republican area, into a rabid Democrat who was still foaming at the mouth about Douglas MacArthur 57 years later. How many more incidents like the Oakland chemical assault will it take to have the same effect on a lot of 18-year-olds today? Or will there be another Douglas MacArthur incident?

     
     

    Ha.

    Now, now, N__B, that’s Dennis’ line. He trained long and hard to deliver it. Leave that up to the professionals.

     
     

    I cant believe people actually want proof of global warming

    Oh dear God.

     
     

    In the 30 seconds of free time I’m going to have during the next three days, I’m going to the Champs Élysées McD and ordering a Royale. Or, you know, not.

     
     

    Everything is shopworn. Even Neal Horsley gets old after a while …

     
     

    “STILL” I guess I should have clarified…considering whom I’m dealing with here.

    I can’t prove evolution for ya either, Dennis. But no matter how many goal-post moving trolls challenge the theory, I know it’s true.

     
     

    Dennis prefers Faux news for his science rather than Nature or Science or the Journal of Geophysical Letters. Obviously I must surrender to Hannitty’s knowledge of science vs. the National Academy.

     
     

    I will not present anything new to the troll except to point out that he is spending a great deal of time trolling on a snark blog.

    I mean, loser, you know?

    Don’t bother Dennis, dancing badgers and all.

     
     

    Sigh. At least they could have sent us some good trolls instead of the junior varsity squad.

     
     

    It might be worth noting that the various saints above are being kind. This script kills users and those who kindly respond to Dennis in their saintly persona are allowing others to safely filter them without losing the substance of their other comments.

    And of course there’s the filtered comment feed, which takes an asterisk as a wild card:

    http://djur.desperance.net/sadlyno/rss/feed?bad_users=|St.*|Conserva*|jurass*|Dennis|

    So if you bookmark it, libs, you can be rid of Dennis, Dennis parodies, and the folks who were kind enough to Saint themselves.

    It might be worth noting that the Dennis comments are pretty low volume and myself I don’t filter him. The largest part of any troll thread is the responses to the trolls.

    Anyway, thank you to the saints! I should really be better at that.

    I have a weakness for bad, cheesy steampunk movies. Like Wild Wild West, like League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, like the last Zorro movie, like the Three Musketeers movie that came out this year. About the only time the general public and me have agreed on a steampunk movie was RDJ’s Sherlock Holmes (quite looking forward to the next one, especially if it brings Moriarty out in force, I’m curious to see how they handled him).

    And yeah, X-Men: First Class was very solid. With the exception of “X-Men: Wolverine,” though, the X-Men were always my favorite superhero movies.

    Just like can’t prove that for every case of liberal nuttiness’ there a thousand cases of conservative nuttiness. And not to burst your bubble, but hanging out on liberal blogs all day long is never going to be your path to enlightenment, even if 1,000 DailyKos diarists tell you it can be.

    I will not present anything new to the troll except to point out that he is spending a great deal of time trolling on a snark blog.

    I mean, loser, you know?

    Right?

    I mean it’s all “address my points, libs, or I win” which is kinda like “I can out poop you”…

     
     

    The fact is, it is the liberals that are destroying USA.

     
     

    Stupid libs. Hanging out on liberal blogs all day long is is my path to enlightenment, find your own.

     
     

    Actor, you don’t have the slightest problem at all with being a complete ashore on the internet, so why would you disdain that in anyone else?

    You’re sending mixed messages.

     
     

    Heh. iPhone autoFill error…’ashore’ should’ve been ‘asshole’.

     
     

    Actor, please prove evolution for vs.

     
     

    Every time I say stupid things, it’s my iPhone doing it. I am a slave to what my electronic device tells me to post.

    P.S. Teleprompter President LOL

     
     

    Gocart, you need some new material or a new gig, one of the two.

     
     

    Gud morneeng everyone. Today is the day I’ll reach enlightenment, I’m sure! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

     
     

    Dennis please prove to us that you are not from another planet.

     
     

    Substance – I’m glad you posted the links. I’ve been meaning to get greasemonkey and the sadly, no all sorts of good things script for firefox on my mac for a while now.

    Guilty Pleasures – Yellowbeard and Army of darkness to name two

     
     

    Dennis, start your own blog instead of making clueless, dumb-ass comments as a parasitic commentator here.

    How are your kids, BTW? Any ready for college yet, like Liberty University?

     
     

    N_B: I visited that McD’s in Paris as a teen. My friend explained (in French) to the counter person that we wanted it to go, you know, in a bag. The staff was not only confused by the request, but it took them some time to locate a sack. The customers laughed and pointed at us as we left, and we generated enough attention from others on the street that we ducked down an alley to eat. I’m curious if customs have changed.

     
     

    My sister and I would watch “The ‘burbs” and “Beastmaster” every time they came on.

     
     

    Omg, Tigris is my new BFF!! I have seen “Beastmaster” so many times!

    What about the Conan the Barbarian movies?

     
     

    Guilty pleasure movies (don’t laugh):

    “300”

    Yeah, I know it’s cheesy, and overwrought and ahistorical and whatever, but I like it! Anyone who sees only homoeroticism, or shallow political analogy or militarism or butchered history is missing the point. It’s a fantasy, based on a graphic novel, loosely based on a historical event. The imagery is gorgeous!

     
     

    I’ve admitted before I love 300. Don’t feel bad.

     
     

    Dennis, please prove Maxwell’s electromagnetic equations for Actor.

     
     

    I don’t think I’ve seen any of the Conan films, but yeah, I’d watch them. I tend to like over-the-top so I’d probably like 300, but a lot of films like this are a toss-up between omg awful and so awful they’re awesome. “Frankenstein vs Dracula” is I think the only film I’ve seen that managed to be both at the same time.

     
     

    Thing is like 300 for non-ironic reasons. I think it’s great to look at for one. Besides–and this is genuinely embarrassing to admit–I enjoy the occasional badassery in slow motion.

     
     

    Hmm. I smell new thread.

     
     

    What about the Conan the Barbarian movies?

    The very first movie I had to review during my mercifully brief stint as a move reviewer was “Conan the Destroyer.”

    I instantly understood why so many movie critics are so cranky.

    A laff riot! Tigris must see it. There’s a point at which the Persians are obviously ordering from the Acme™ catalog and the roadrunner is Spartans are not affected.

     
     

    Actor, please prove evolution for vs.

    One thing I can prove, DenDen, is that evolution failed you

     
     

    Fags/poofters are women haters. Lesbians are are men haters. They’re nasty narcissistic deranged arseholes who are fucking the world as well as themselves. What a shame we were deceived into tolerating them. The Moslems will get them in the end and nthe world will applaud.
