Yesterday, Middle Tennessee State professor of guitar and guitar-related activities (cf., “Intro to strumming”; “Advanced techniques in re-stringing”; “Tiny Tim: The semiotics of Tulip Tiptoeing as a critique of corporatism and running dog capitalism”) William Yelverton was so eager to find an example of how the bigotry of the hateful rightwingers — who evidently make up roughly 70% of the US electorate — was physically asserting itself as an offshoot of their opposition to the Ground Zero Mosque, that he haughtily dropped into the comment section here the story of an attack on a Muslim cab driver in New York.
To Yelverton, the obvious needn’t be stated: clearly, the cab driver was an innocent victim of reactionary right wing hatred — with the Ground Zero Mosque as the proximate ideological cause for the attack. And so those who oppose the building of a monument to Islamist triumphalism near the site of Islam’s greatest attack on the US were, to Yelverton, culpable — at least ideologically — for the attack on this innocent Other.
Except, well —
[…] as often at the intersection of politics and violent crime, the story doesn’t appear to fit any easy stereotype: The alleged assailant, Michael Enright, is — according to his Facebook profile and the website of the left-leaning media organization Intersections International — a student at the School of Visual Arts and a volunteer for Intersections, which recently produced a statement of support for the Park51 project and is funded by the mainstream, liberal Collegiate Church of New York.
Naturally, the left (even those newly minted) will tell you this proves nothing: just because the attacker is a 21-year old filmmaker who associates with left-leaning media organizations doesn’t necessarily mean the attacker is himself guided by leftist principles.
— Of course, it doesn’t mean he’s guided by rightwing hatred, either — yet apparently that’s a far less noxious leap. But I digress.
Then there’s this little pebble in the shoe of the lefty narrative:
For one thing, the alleged attacker, Michael Enright, worked with an organization that very much favors the project. For another, the cabby, Ahmed Sharif, says he’s opposed to it […]
Is it possible that the attacker is a right wing nutjob?
Sure. And if he is, I’m certain that’ll be brought to light — just as I’m certain the right will condemn him for it, and the left will view this condemnation as “coded” approval.
But what gets lost in all this is that the cabby, a Muslim, is himself a hateful hater, a bigot, a self-loather, inauthentic — at least, if you go by the criterion the set out by the left: opposing the mosque is Islamophobia, period.
From the right, however, I’m inclined to say of this cab driver that he’s pretty much consonant in his opinion of the mosque with 70% of his fellow Americans.
That people like William Yelverton will be so disappointed to discover such apostasy tells you all you need to know about the two “sides” of this debate — as well as all you need to know about the current state of higher education, particularly in the Humanities.

update: As if to reinforce our assessment of him here as a sad, pseudo-intellectual poser, Middle Tennessee State University professor of Guitar and Lute William Yelverton shows up in the comments (again! — albeit this time under his own name, for once) to accuse me of “slander” and violations to the spirit of the First Amendment — all while using phrases like “Christian right wing teabaggers” (presumably without irony) to represent those 71% of Americans who simply don’t agree with Professor Guitar Hero’s view of the world. Which evidently amounts to this: he is goodly and tolerant; while 71% of Americans are intolerant haters whom he can’t stand and who he wishes would just shut their stupid fucking pie holes and listen to him, or else die die die die die!
Clearly, Yelverton’s “tolerance” and goodliness doesn’t extend to most of us here in the States. But then, we have it coming, being hateful haters and all.
And we have to be haters. Because to be anti-Yelverton is to be a hater. Q.E.D.
And we wonder why a “liberal” arts university education these days is hardly worth the effort…
Listen, Willy. You can pretend that your having mastered a string instrument makes you some sort of intellectual savant. So can Middle Tennessee State University, for all I care. But we know better. You’re a finger-plucking moron whose sole contribution to political discourse is that you provide the perfect emblem for the illiberal and emotive rhetorical style of left wing pseudo-intellectuals.
If you weren’t living in a society made prosperous because of the very classical liberal ideals you reject, you’d be playing Nickelback cover tunes at the birthday party of some blue blood’s eight-year-old daughter.
And deep down, you know it, too.
Given the propensity of the left to publish it’s unimpeachable manifesto at every turn — I mean, just look; they’re everywhere — I’m surprised we wingers haven’t yet learned just how, um, unimpeachable the philosophy really is.
Yeah, really! Check the documentation!
Perhaps the next time they install The Right People™ the collective will work as intended. You know, by the published rules.
It would be nice to do something for the cabbie person I think cause that has to suck getting all stabbed on by a creepy unbalanced weirdo.
Ouch. Note to self: don’t piss off Goldstein.
happyfeet – Didn’t you point out an instance of an aggressive lie being pushed about Enright, something about his Facebook, that you debunked quite quickly?
William the plagiarist Yelverton is just crying out for attention, since he hasn’t had a new comment on his site in almost a week.
Well done, Jeff.
Guys like Yelverton are in short supply, although there are those who think little of him.
/stolen
I feel so sorry for the cat.
…people like William Yelverton…
It would really suck to be one of them. My 12 year old kid is better read, more cogent, logical and funny. If either of my kids had turned out like that bitter, bigoted little pipsqueak, I would be profoundly disappointed. I wonder if Willie’s parents shake their heads and wonder what went wrong with junior.
Slarti – Given that he is a plagiarizing midget, one must think little of him.
Not since they abandoned him in that open field thirty-some years ago.
“Go on, son! There’s a nice kittycat and a bowl of pie-ay-uh over there! We’ll wait!”
Oh. I see one of your links goes to Juan Cole, Jeff.
Professor Cole has never been noted for his attention to factual detail. I hope that only applies to things he writes about that are outside of his purported area of expertise.
“I feel so sorry for the cat.”
Yeah, I just saw that picture on the other thread…
Heh.
For those unfamiliar with Juan Cole’s wishful-thinking approach to reporting, here‘s a case in point.
Could someone please put me the knowledge of the Yelverton-plagiarism matter? I really missed a Big One.
Cordially…
Cole is a cocksucker.
But being a leftist cocksucker who’s almost always wrong is the best way to build a career, it turns out: Marcotte, Greenwald, Yglesias, Klein, etc.
On the right, the key seems to be either go all extremist, or else be staid and milquetoast.
Or maybe not. I’m still putting together a spreadsheet.
Can you actually be staid and milquetoast without eventually going crazy? I know I can’t.
Did someone call my name?
Rick – When he comments, simply google them. He copies and pastes entire comments and others’ posts as his own, rarely linking them, nor quoting them. bh has nailed him about 20+ times doing so, and pointed it out to him.
Yanno, this is why I come here. Bitch-slapping liberals with style…
I’m guessing Willie’s life is chock full of drama, all of his own manufacture.
Then there’s that cute story about the firebombing of Rep. Russ Carnahan’s office that was initially blamed on those damned extremist bitter clinger Tea Partiers…until, oops, it turned out to have been done by a disgruntled progressive ex employee…. Michelle Malkin has the roundup: http://tinyurl.com/38lbthd
All of Bloomberg’s Quislings in the Obamedia who’ve demagogued this issue should apologize to the secular Muslim NY Cabbie and his family for inciting this Leftist pro-jihad mosque vigilantee to moby violence.
It’s time to take a little ownership for your orchestrated Islamo-supremacist advocacy campaign.
/chickens… roost!
The sad thing is I read some of his early work, and it was sober and measured, then he joined the nutroots
and it’s like online Tourettes
To the left it is all about feelings.
JD,
Thanks…so I missed 20 Big Ones! I gotta read the comments more carefully.
Cordially…
The fact is, this was a hate crime. Where did the hate come from? Who is spewing the hate? 99% – the Christian right wing teabaggers. I know. I’ve seen with my own eyes 400 white Christian teabaggers march up Main St. in Murfreesboro against building the local Islamic Center, carrying signs that read, “all you need to know about Islam is 9/11”.
Goldstein is wrong again.
The attack was a hate crime by Enright, who was a white Christian who kept a personal diary filled with pages of “pretty strong anti-Muslim comments,” a police source said, (NY Daily News). He asked the driver if he was a Muslim and began slashing, saying “this is a checkpoint motherfucker … and I’m taking you out,” while the cabbie pleaded for his life. Pretty obvious who had been influencing Enright. Enright’s facebook page showed he was a big fan of Greg Ball, a right wing anti-immigrant tea party candidate. He was involved with Intersession International, which he apparently used as his ticket to go to Afghanistan to pursue a film project. Intersession International released this statement;
The Muslim hate crime is consistent with the characterization of this Mosque issue by conservative libertarians such as Phil Valentine and Ron Paul:
This slanderous and pathetic post is not only disgusting, coming from Jeff Goldstein, who threatens to ‘call my University because he has nothing to lose’ but is a example of the right wing demagoguery that strives to demonize those who they see as the enemy, most often people who don’t think, look, or pray like they do. Further, Goldstein is no friend of the First Amendment, he routinely deletes comments, bans commenters, not because they are slanderous (as he is – mentioning full names and place of employment), but because they have well supported arguments, often documented with links and facts. He is a coward and obviously a bitter person, judging by his donation requests, not so successful.
Read this comment quickly, for it won’t last long, knowing the cowardice of Jeff Goldstein. This is my final comment here. This blog doesn’t respect the First Amendment and is merely a pathetic like chat box for sandwich recipes and ideological masturbation among a small community of like minded ‘regulars’ who really don’t want to hear opposing view, and run from facts they don’t want to hear.
It’s the next thing to check off on the list:
[ ] Reichstagsbrand.
[ ] Ermächtigungsgesetz.
Wow. Yelverton actually used his own name for once. Jeff isn’t a coward. You were warned not to continue commenting under different names, you lunatic. It’s a pity that you don’t understand the First Amendment. But I suppose that sort of thing is inevitable when the extent of your education is a diploma from a fifth-rate high school.
That’s a brilliant and novel definition of slander you’ve got there William. Name and place of employment: SLANDER!
“Further, Goldstein is no friend of the First Amendment, he routinely deletes comments, bans commenters”
My copy of the Constitution says “Congress shall make no law…”
Does yours say “Goldstein” instead of “Congress”?
Noted educator and plagiarist, William Yelverton, doesn’t know the difference between slander and libel or know that they’re impossible to achieve by telling the truth.
Ha. How wrong is our friend? That comment, because it has your name, will live long.
Slartibartfast quoted Shrek in this thread.
I fucking love this place.
That is all.
Oh boy. Let me get my popcorn. I have a feeling mushroom bruises are gonna be bloomin’…
That’s interesting. Does that include your many plagiarizing sock-puppets?
Ron Paul is an odd choice of authority for Mr William though, isn’t he? Not because Ron Paul is something of a nut as regards foreign policy or commentary on group hate, but because it hardly seems plausible that Mr. William would turn to Paul as an authority on any other political issue conceivable.
Bye, willie!
The kid was drunk, and I bet you’re going to find out he has some sort of mental illness.
None of this will matter to the left.
Willy, unless your going to get crucified or burned at the stake for your beliefs you aren’t a martyr, so knock it off, chump. Your posing would be laughable if it wasn’t so shopworn, now it’s just pathetic. You bring out all of the old tropes – bigot this, bigot that, bigot, bigot, bigot – in place of arguments because you can’t argue. You never learned to argue. All you got is old-style argue by accusation. The sort of tactics that have been done by tyrants petty and great through the ages (see: accusations of witchcraft, stalin and Mao’s show trials, Sen. McCarthy, etc.).
The problem you got Willy me lad is that no one here is buying what you have to sell and no one here is scared by your accusations of bigotry. Without that you have no power to shut down debate and now have to face debate never having learned that feelings don’t substitute for a well-constructed argument.
I would pity you if you weren’t such worthless backstabbing dishonorable pud. Instead its contempt – because you aren’t worth despising.
William Yelverton is well know in the Middle Tennessee blogging community to be a narrow-minded hateful oaf who has unadulterated scorn for anyone not of his far-left political persuasions. He once posted a comment at TFree accusing me of sexual deviancy with my own daughter; it was only after great pressure that he apologized, and that apology was very weak sauce indeed.
Even fellow leftists can’t stand him.
He speaks of his fellow Rutherford County residents as dirt for under his feet.
Not a man for to allow to teach young people, that’s for certain.
This blog doesn’t respect the First Amendment and is merely a pathetic like chat box for sandwich recipes and ideological masturbation…
That should be an ad for this place!!!
Why the hell wasn’t I told about this?
Which hand do I use if it’s “ideological”?
Are there Chakras involved?
And which one of you fuckers has the sandwich recipes?
I think William Yelverton, who appears to have the addiction that so many do on the ‘net–that an ill-considered or illegal action on behalf of a partisan denies the validity of what he believes in–is probably a cut above Thor.
I could be very wrong though.
I wonder if Nonie Darwish is one of those Christian teabaggers, like this Goldstein fellow.
I’d also like to note how awesome the “Click here to be a guitar god very fast” ad is.
Oh sandwiches, we got a million.
mcgruder, willie does seem to lack thor’s fecal obsession, so he’s got that going for him.
Mmmmm…. sandwiches.
I should note that the problem with playing Yelverton’s game, which is practiced by plenty of right-wing hacks as well, is that it virtually has to fire back on you.
The RW is full of 21-year old chubby drunks who ride in cabs and try and murder cabbies (BTW, as an investigative reporter, I’m counting down till everyone has to admit that Enright’s “This is a checkpoint Motherfucker!” line is just a wee bit too good to be true)=The left is full of sweaty political canvassers who blog at TPM and firebomb senate headquarters where they work when they have a pay dispute.
The stupid have no concept of the deep game.
Now Willie, what have I just got finished saying about cogent, logical and funny? It’s like you never read anything. Please, disassociate yourself from the straw men and non sequiturs, form an argument and reinforce it with some citations (some passing acquaintance with reality preferred), and throw in some witty bons mots.
Pablo, I clued in on the lack of semen/labial references, but yes, props to your point as well.
I wonder how much of Willie’s comment even he believes.
Half?
If he’s a cut above thor it’s only in the sense that his psychotic behavior is driven by earnestness borne of stupidity rather than a deliberate effort to irritate people. But both will die alone, having left no mark on the world, so I think it’s a wash.
He’s definitely down with the spittle parts I’m guessing.
sorry – stupid busy morning… here was the stupid weak lies about the guy’s facebook
“This is my final comment here.”
Proof that God exists, and answers the prayers of the multitudes.
Cordially…
Promises, promises.
I thought there were plenty of Christians on the left. Odd how this swings around so much, purely out of convenience.
Only in your cartoon reality.
Modifier fail.
Constitution fail.
Own intelligence estimation fail.
This, from the guy whose links are more often own goals than not.
Ah. So, Jeff kicks your ass in rhetoric, and this is where you go next? Classic Little Man Syndrom.
Said they guy who doesn’t understand any of the Constitution. Should we listen? I mean, do we really have to think about that?
I’d ask whatever state that was responsible for your pre-college education to provide your parents with a full refund of all education expenses, as penalty for having failed you so gravely. You clearly have no ability to read and understand, and less ability to think critically.
They’re normally reasonably tolerant, provided you don’t make a jackass of yourself. Which you’d know, had you paid any attention at all.
Wonder how many “Christian right wing teabaggers” make up the student body there at Middle Tennessee State University, where Willy Yelverton uses gentle strummings to poison the minds of young Americans hoping to get an education, but come away brainwashed by demagoging half-wits whose opinions of their own mental prowess far exceed their actual capabilities.
“Right wing demagoguery”? Yeah. Because pointing out the willingness of the left to demonize 70+% of the population as bigoted haters is itself a hate crime in your Orwellian world.
Well, not as successful as a Middle Tennessee State guitar teacher who spends much of his time trolling the site of a bitter, unsuccessful First Amendment hater, maybe. But I get an A for effort!
Coming from a guy with a hole in his head for the piss to seep out, I find the righteous indignation humorous.
Leave it to a leftist to pretend to give a shit about a First Amendment he neither understands or supports — all while demanding the right to urinate all over the private property of another, and to do so under as many names as he pleases.
Here’s a bit of advice, douche: the only thing of mine you’re entitled to is my utter disdain. I post under my own name, and have for years. I comment under my own name, and have for years. That I don’t allow people who used multiple names to troll my site isn’t a function of cowardice. It’s a function of good judgment.
And that’s precisely because it is the cowardice of people who take shots at others from the safety of their anonymity (and you, being so utterly feckless and unskilled, couldn’t even hide your own identity!) that brings nothing to any “discussion” — particularly when all they do is call people bigots, then drop some unattributed quote from some lefty hivemind site into the comments here.
The dumbest person here, William, would run circles around you in any actual debate. Which is why you snipe under fake names. You are out of your depth. And you always will be.
You can say what you want about me, you ignorant snatch. Because you don’t rate, I don’t really give a fuck.

And if so, hot ones?

Because we shouldn’t discriminate.
Oh, for the record, I don’t think you guys are sharing nearly enough sandwich recipes. Jerks.

Too good to be true, or an indication of his mental instability.
just saying.
“Oh, for the record, I don’t think you guys are sharing nearly enough sandwich recipes. Jerks.”
Ha!
Sandwiches we got. Recipes for sandwiches? Are you crazy? They make themselves outta the stuff we got. Like Willie with Slander, I’m making my own definitions today. Thank me. You’re welcome.

I do.
Even though I’m a loser and a failure. And yet, Willy can’t quit me.
Out of curiosity, I just checked how many other people were subscribed to Yelverton’s blog with Google Reader. Including myself? Two.
Can the other person raise their hand so we can share an awkward bro-hug?
Heh, Jeff, I only wish he was smarter so that could sting properly.
If Willie knew some Nickelback covers he might actually be in demand.
“Professor Guitar Hero” that is, in the words of our former Governor, “effing golden”.
Eh? Murfreesboro is about halfway between Alabama and Kentucky.
The smart people live in Huntsville, the rich in Nashville, and halfway between, there’s Bill, and those who have to grit their teeth because they have Bill periodically inflicted on them.
Dear Willy,
I’ve heard there was a secret chord, that David played and it pleased the Lord.
But you don’t really care for music do you?
Professor William Yelverton reminds me of Professor Rick Caric. When a progg lost in the luxury of deep red security, bleat louder. Because overcompensation works so well.
Well then I’m confused Slarti (damn sure not the first time) but Murfreesboro looked about a 1/2 ” short of Nashville which is a rock chunk from Kentucky. Granted, I’m from Texas and we prolly judge distance differently (if it’s a two hour drive your pretty much there already).
That’s SLANDEROUS, JHo!
Don’t make me sue you on FIRST AMENDMENT GROUNDS!
I just came to hear William Yelverton play FREEEEEEEEEEBIIIIIIIIIRRRRRRRRDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!
Probably there’s a new retract button coming out for Firefox, Jeff. At least there’s a huge market for it.
Yeah, LTC John. I am in awe of that one.
I wonder how it feels to have a job as a Professor in a particular field when you know that – and lie awake in the deep watches of the night sweating in fear about – there is a stoned 20 year-old somewhere that can do exactly what you are being paid to do, but he’ll (a) do it better than you, and (b) he’ll do it for beer and weed.
I am laughing so hard I almost peed myself. William the plagiarist yelverton crammed almost every one of his lies, distortions, caricatures, strawmen, and leftist memes into one grand and triumpant display of asshattery. He is too stupid to insult. And the bit about sammich recipes is simply too rich in irony, given he has whole pages devoted to festivals of veggie paella cooked by midgets with oddly bemused onlookers.
Nor Laup !
Because, I know he’s still lurking…willie, you just got your ass handed to you, son. My advice to you would be to skulk away quietly, lick your wounds and grow up. I have utter confidence that you can manage at least the first two of those three things.
This was kind of an orca playing with a baby seal kind of moment, though. wee-willie had no chance, but unlike the baby seal, he did bring it upon himself.
That response to Willie’s comment, and the update, are things of beauty.

I wish that as a young man I had a nice safe haven to fall back onto. I could have lived the life of Riley, going all rustic and outdoorsey (between the hours of 9 and 5), playing piano without any need to actually compete at it, lambasting my host’s community and any strawmanned cartoons of it I cared to project, and generally impressing the heck out of myself at the renaissance man I was.
All without a real care in the world. Because ease builds character and an inflated ego, reason.
I sometimes wonder how Jeff has been able to gather so many intelligent and simply hilarious people to this blog.
This post and update pretty much explains it, I think.
Those who can, do. Those who can’t, teach. Those who can’t teach, teach music. Those who can’t teach music, teach guitar. Those who can’t teach guitar, teach guitar at Middle Tennessee State?
Willy’s cat is getting really pissed at you people.
Mikey – that was pretty darned good by you as well. This thread is goldenizing as we watch.
Wriao!
By Texas standards, Tennessee is wafer-thin.
Nashville is roughly a third of the way into the state, going due south, from Kentucky. Murfreesboro is almost exactly halfway: 55 miles from the Northern border, and 58 miles from the Southern.
I’m sure that the market would select the stoned 20-year old, if that were the case. But I think it’s fair that Yelverton’s only skill be taken as a given. But let’s face it: he’s a professor of music at an obscure-ish mid-southern university, and not a major figure in performance art. So: decent level of talent at his art, which gains him no pass at all, here, when discussing politics.
But clearly there is something lacking in his life, if the paella and the girlfriend and the running and the music and the boating are so unsatisfying that he has to show his ass (but sadly, precious little intellect) over here on a frequent, almost obsessive, basis.

Whoa. Perfesser Bill gettin all emo on our ass.

Let us not forget that willie the racist hilljack is also scared of brown people that can spell.
What about all that Latvian head he was getting?
That’s thor, ahem. He’s the insanely misanthropic loser. This is William Yelverton, the unbelievably stupid loser.
To be fair, Nickelback only has one song, so it would be cover tune.
I just love how the left and the plagiarizing yelverton ilk try to portray the right as violent xianists inciting mass hysteria with their rhetoric, while ignoring that the actual violence in the vast majority of the cases, comes from leftists. I guess the reichwing xianists know how to get the weak minded leftists to do their bidding.
That you do Jeff; that you do.
And next thing you know they never go home, they eat all the salty snacks, and egg the armadillo on to newer atrocities.

It’s what keeps us coming back.
For the benefit of those who may not be familiar with the standard tropes, what Willie teh Wacist Guitaw Pwofwessah engaged in here is known as a flounce. And for as tempted as I am to follow him back to his little Fortress of Solitude and poke him with a stick, I think I’ll just wait ’til he comes back.
“I wish I knew how to quit you, Jeff.”
Jeff, “We’re not worthy!”
The truly amazingly funny thing is that Willie dares to come on this blog and postulate that A) all right-wingers are natural born killers, B) everyone on the blog is a right-winger, yet C) he’s going to come here and issue gratuitous insults to instinctive killers who know where he works!
One is forced to conclude that he doesn’t believe a single dishonest thing he writes.
Every time I think I’ve seen the stupidest thing the planet has to offer, someone like Willie just has to yank open the trenchcoat and prove otherwise.
MY EYESSSS!
Holy. Shit. Batman.
This thread is pure disembowelment gold. Evisceration 301 – Grad level stuff.
One is forced to conclude that he doesn’t believe a single dishonest thing he writes.
That, or he realizes that he just ain’t worth our time. No wonder he’s eating himself up inside; even though we exist as cartoon characters in his reality, he still subconsciously knows that we’re bigger than him. That just can’t be healthy.
I think Squid has the right of it. We aren’t properly fawning with respect to his intellectual gifts and his words of wisdom, and that gnaws at his little psyche.
His webthingy. I didn’t link over. Feels kinda dirty.
And I’ve been to Boys Town in Nuevo Laredo on purpose.
Twice.
Anyone commented over there?
How deep is the crazy line? I wonder cause there’s no hit and run zombies here.
Does anybody read him (apart from trying to learn “Stairway to Heaven” on a beat up Gibson obviously)?
How does it feel to totally and completely beclown yourself, William “The Plagiarist” Yelverton?
This thread is hysterical.
What’s also hysterical is Willie – at his mess of a blog – accusing others of “knowing nothing” about academic scholarship. Irony alert.
How does strumming a guitar give someone academic scholarship? That is especially ironic given his propensity for plagiarism. He would not know academic scholarship if it crawled out his weinerhole and cockslapped him.
#121 SDN:
It can be explained – the belief that all here are rightwing killers ready to be set off and that he comes here trying to goad us – by the martyr-complex he has got going. If he can’t get it reallly (and he really doesn’t want it because he doesn’t prod those who will actually do it for free), then he will bask vicariously in the martyrdom of others, the muslims of Murfreesboro who were oppressed by a demonstration (or so he says) or any other official victim group whose pain and oppression he can latch onto and lamprously live off of.
Next to ‘stolen valor’ there ought to be ‘stolen martyrdom’ as a contemptible behavior. And I think they both have the same roots in known personal inadequacy.
