Mark Steyn Picks Up Echoes of Lessing [Dan Collins]

Mo’ better victimage:

On the other hand, if you’re running for president not as an unexceptional first-term senator with a thin resume but as the new Messiah, the new Kennedy, the new Gandhi, the new Martin Luther King, you can’t blame folks for leaping ahead to the next stage in the mythic narrative. Around the world, a second instant sub-genre has sprung up in which commentators speculate how long it will be before some deranged Christian-fundamentalist neo-Nazi gun-nut deprives America of its fleeting wisp of glory. Setting a new standard for fevered slavering Obama-assassination porn, Earl MacRae warned Canadians in the Ottawa Sun this week: 

To be black and catapulting towards the presidency on charm, intellect, and popularity is unacceptable to the racist paranoid and scary in America the beautiful… They do not want to hear that he is a better American than they are, these right-wing extremist fascists in the land of America who no doubt believe it’s God’s will Barack Obama not get to the White House, no method of deterrence out of bounds, in their zealotry to protect and perpetuate Roy Rogers, John Wayne, Mom’s apple pie, and the cross of Jesus in every home.     

And you can’t protect and perpetuate Roy Rogers without a Trigger. By this point, Mr. MacRae wasn’t so much warming to his theme as typing up his first draft for Miramax: “Barack Obama is waving his arms. The crowd is cheering. I see the image I don’t want to see. I see the image that is the terrible sickness in the great republic. I see Barack Obama one minute smiling, the people crying his name. I see Barack Obama grab his chest and his eyes widen and his mouth opens and the crowd screams as Barack Obama, black candidate for the presidency of the United States of America, falls to the ground dead, an assassin’s bullet inside him.”Er, okay. But would it help if I made you a nice cup of chamomile tea and you lie down in a darkened room for half an hour? Right now Obama’s more at risk of being taken out by traces of polonium-210 left in his hotel by a Clinton operative than by Roy Rogers saddling up for Jesus. 

Related: Larry “The Legend” Johnson sees his chances for a sinecure with the Clinton Administration evaporating, mongers fear, gives me permission to “pop a chubby,” which sounds a little Clintonesque.

Meanwhile, another Larry attacks Obama for the grotesque crime of accepting oral sex from him. It’s a small sample, but it suggests that Obama may be losing the Larry vote.

Rough translation: “This is not necessarily a phallus.”

    That sure would cause a ruckus though.

  2. Swen Swenson says:

    Actually, sounds like the Clintons would have a bit of trouble coming up with the polonium-210. Lead poisoning is still an option though..

  3. Dan Collins says:

    What’s funny is that Johnson doesn’t seem to understand that the Clintons are ethically challenged in all the ways he points out Obama being.

  4. cynn says:

    Obama’s not a true black. He’s a hybrid The way I was raised, only actual darkies are fearsome. Unreconstructed, tribal types … what was this post about again? Oh, yeah, Steyn and Lessing. Say no more.

  5. happyfeet says:

    I dunno.

    Men reported being sexually excited by crack and wanting sex while smoking; however some acknowledged difficulty maintaining erections or ejaculating.

    So that adds up. But damn that would have had to have been really really good crack. It’s also possible that this Larry person is not telling the truth. I hope Obama clears this up soon so he can get back to talking about the issues.

  6. Dude,
    Sorry to ruin your fantasy, but I’m not seeking nor will I accept any position in any Admnistration, Democrat or Republican. If offered the slot of Ambassador to the UK, France, Italy, or Spain, I’d do it. But, I don’t raise funds for any candidate, and I’m too radioactive politically to even be seriously considered. But, if the thought of me working towards such a goal helps you pop a chubby, then fantasize away.

  7. happyfeet says:

    That shows a certain self-awareness really.

  8. cynn says:

    Dan, why the slime? Is this supposed to a meaningful comment on the state of politic? Trashy.

  9. happyfeet says:

    Slime?

  10. happyfeet says:

    Oh. You’re one of those people who thinks homo crack sex is dirty. I see how you are.

  11. Dan Collins says:

    Well they’ve taken away your number, and a-given you a name.

  12. RTO Trainer says:

    Larry who?

    How can he be “politically radioactive” if he’s completely inconsequential?

    That he obviously does regular vanity searches emphasizes the point. Or do we beleive that he’s a persistent lurker at PW?

    BECAUSE OF THE NARCISSISM!!!!

  13. Dan Collins says:

    No, he followed the trackback, RTO. At least he doesn’t have staff conducting the searches for him, the way Olberdouche does.

  14. Dan Collins says:

    I swear, though . . . some people are so serious.

  15. CraigC says:

    Larry the Crackhead seems pretty trustworthy to me.

  16. happyfeet says:

    Nonono. Larry’s just a cokehead. Obama was hitting the pipe.

  17. Dan Collins says:

    Well, Larry was hitting the pipe, too.

  18. happyfeet says:

    Oh. Right. Allegedly.

  19. cynn says:

    Isn’t Johnson the little green football guy? He’s coming around!

  20. happyfeet says:

    I thought Howard was the LGF guy.

  21. cynn says:

    Howard Johnson? Apolitical.

  22. CraigC says:

    Where were Darryl and Darryl?

  23. happyfeet says:

    Oh. All I know is from the Max Apple story. I don’t really remember it very well either.

  24. Dan Collins says:

    Yeah, back in the day when you could say HoJo.

  25. Karl says:

    cynn,

    LGF = Charles Johnson.

    Larry is best known for his July 2001 NYT op-ed about how everyone was exaggerating the threat of Islamic terrorism. I’m fairly sure he has stuck to that position, too.

  26. happyfeet says:

    Howard was a lot about ice cream. He got frozen in the end I think maybe. By his secretary.

  27. RTO Trainer says:

    Oh, right!

    This Larry Johnson.

  28. The only heavy breathing over assassinating a president in recent years has come from proggs, in this guise.

  29. MayBee says:

    You may be on to something.
    Obama has apparently also lost the Larry Sabato vote as well.
    Which I think is a sign of deep macaca.

  30. daleyrocks says:

    A man’s gotta eat. There’s not much money left in shilling for Valerie Plame right now so Larry had to fabricate a new gig. I wonder how much he’s getting paid by Clinton for the smears. He’s got his work cut out for him because most of them are getting debunked as quickly as he puts them up ’cause they’re so so flimsy.

  31. Topsecretk9 says:

    I couldn’t get over Larry accusing Obama of supporting a terrorist and Obama’s “terrorist’s ties” when Larry thinks there is no terror threat. It’s a conundrum.

    http://noquarterusa.net/blog/2008/02/15/obamas-terrorist-ties/#more-1535

  32. Dan Collins says:

    I seem to recall something about Bill pardoning Puerto Rican terrorists. Maybe I dreamt it.

  33. Topsecretk9 says:

    HUH
    But, I don’t raise funds for any candidate, and I’m too radioactive politically to even be seriously considered.

    Freudian slip?

    First of all, he does raise funds because he has a “contribute to the Clinton” campaign button link on his website, but that’s pretty candid of Scary – he admits in order to be seriously considered for a position or posting in a Clinton administration one has to but their way in.

    Cool.

  34. MayBee says:

    and I’m too radioactive

    Tops- isn’t he working for some uranium mining company now, with Joe Wilson? Or am I wrong about what they mine?

  35. Education Guy says:

    To be fair, the history of Canada’s black premiers is so long and full that you have to go back generations to where there was an assassination attempt. Europe too.

    It’s because they are so much better than us, what with the outlawing of the evil right wingers moving along at good speed.

  36. Education Guy says:

    Bill may offer Larry a position, if Larry is willing to wear some lipstick and a dress. But only because once Hillary gets elected she is going to ensure that Billy Jeff’s junk has its own security detail, so he’s going to have to get creative.

    Sudan Oil – Jarch

  38. Topsecretk9 says:

    Ken Silverstein- Harper’s Jarch Capital’s Sudanese Gambit

    Paris-based Africa Energy Intelligence (AEI) recently carried a fairly alarming article on Jarch Capital, an investment fund headed by a former Salomon Brothers trader named Phil Heilberg. Jarch has big interests in African natural resources and its leadership includes Joseph Wilson. According to AEI, Jarch has looked for business in Darfur, where Heilberg “has hitched his star to one of the leading rebel chiefs in the region,” as well as in the “breakaway province of Somaliland.” The story says that Jarch’s advisory board includes Tuhat Pol, president of an “Ethiopian opposition movement calling for an armed uprising against the Addis Ababa government.”…

  39. daleyrocks says:

    How is Scary’s TV air time these days? I don’t get cable. Are Olbermann and Matthews still having him on a lot?

  40. MayBee says:

    Thanks, tops.

  41. daleyrocks says:

    EG – Scaty’s a superspy so he’s used to disguises. Just look at that haircut, he can blend in anywhere. Plus, we’ve already established he’s a whore, a two bit one at that.

  42. daleyrocks says:

    Scary

  43. Topsecretk9 says:

    Daley

    He says he will not go on MSNBC because of Shuster and Matthew’s – he’ll only go on Olby if asked.

    Maybee

    You bet. If one googles “jarch” and Scary’s name it’s like the first link. He handles their “security”

  44. daleyrocks says:

    TSK9 – Amazing. All of a sudden Larry is claiming he has scruples and won’t go on MSNBC because they insulted Hillary. You would think he would want to go on and set the record straight. My guess is that he is just not getting invited on the air because there is nothing for him to talk about anymore and people realize he is a buffoon.

  45. Topsecretk9 says:

    Daley

    Most likely.

  46. Topsecretk9 says:

    Maybee

    Their are so many troubling ironies — read Nick Kristof’s blog and then thing that Phill Heilberg -Jarch sold off part and moved the operation to the Virgin Islands.

    http://kristof.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/07/25/evading-sudan-sanctions/

    Also, this is after Heilberg a fews years ago threatened to sue the Sudan for 10 billion because his deal wasn’t going through. Sudan- 10 billion- nothing says champion of the downtrodden then a 10 billion dollar Heilberg of a war torn genocidal third world country!

  47. Topsecretk9 says:

    There – not their. I’m tired.

  48. Pablo says:

    How can he be “politically radioactive” if he’s completely inconsequential?

    “Politically radioactive” is spook code for “bugshit crazy”.

  49. B Moe says:

    From Johnson’s blog:

    (Rezko) is up against Patrick Fitzgerald. Pat Fitzgerald does not go to court unprepared and does not have a record of losing, particularly in Illinois. Remember, this is the guy who nailed Scooter Libby…

    lol.

  50. guinsPen says:

    [one of the demented reasons given for fearing him: That Barack Obama is the new “Manchurian Candidate,” that Barack Obama — as captured Korean War U.S soldier Lawrence Harvey in the 1962 movie was brainwashed by the communists and programmed in his subconscious through a playing card to assassinate a right-wing presidential nominee — is a plant by America’s Islamic enemies to destroy the nation from within.

    Writers who can’t. I welcome our new UGOs!

    John McCain, who has rejected Secret Service protection… John McCain, fool.

    Basil’s lost me here. Is he saying Obama’s out to cap McCain?

  51. cranky-d says:

    Unfortunately, the worshipful, servile attitude of many Democrats and media personalities so far has hindered a tough look at Obama’s friends and associates and his judgment.

    Poor Larry. Tough having to die by the sword, isn’t it?
