Hamsher poufs Gleen(s)'(s) new book, and extracts this pearl of mythbusting:
Myth: The Republican nominee is an upstanding, regular guy who shares the values of the common man.
Reality: He divorced his first wife in order to marry a young multimillionaire heiress whose family then funded his political career.
Gosh. I can’t recall what Gleen(s) was saying about John Kerry’s record, this way. Can you?
ALTantrum!!!
– That ones easy Dan. The SicFrogs like Haspter and the Glenn(s) would brush that aside by simply pointing out sKerry’s case was old news because he was a two-time loser golddigger. Besides, he married the skankoid boozing daughter of a Commie party leader, so theres all sorts of attributes that he has for the moonbats over a Liberal-lite like McGramps.
LOL! I thought they liked those kinds of people.
HOMOFOBE eleventy
wait, wait, I should have said…. she says that like it’s a bad thing. my head hurts.
As far as I know they parted amicably. That, of course, doesn’t go so well with Teh Narrative™. Or I could be wrong. Don’t care, actually. They’re just trying to make hay while, in the meantime, their guy and gal have poop all over their faces.
Okay, my pronouns are replacing unstated nouns willy-nilly. So sue me.
So, you’re saying that John McCain is the same kind of man that John Kerry is. That makes sense. After all, McCain and Kerry are friends and almost became running mates. But I’m not sure why you guys are bragging about that. I don’t remember you having that much respect for Kerry.
And where’s the congratulatory notice on Greenwald’s publication of his third book? Isn’t Protein Wisdom where Greenwald got his start in the blogging world. You guys helped make him what he is today. You should be happy that Greenwald’s talent and hard-work have made him such a prominent blogger. It’s the kind of thing that should make all of you feel good about being Americans.
and most of us don’t have much respect for McCain, so I guess we’re even.
Hi, Ric. Actually, Greenwald(s) bootstrapped themselves up, by virtue of the sockpuppetiness. Classic Ponzi scheme. All of them who got in late lost their cred and even their existence as blog commenters.
And do keep in mind that it was Greenwald’s attack on McCain’s acceptance of Hagee’s endorsement that opened the door for a renewed consideration of Obama’s relations with Reverend Wright. Whether you’d like to consider that an even exchange or not is a matter for your own evaluation.
Mi respecto McCain muchos.
Oh, look, the Caricature is back for more fun. Play nice with the troll, kids. Don’t make him cry like the last time.
okay, it’s a mixed bag o’ McCain respect. for Kerry there was also the matter(s) of “Christmas in Cambodia” his magic hat, Winter Soldier, “I voted for it before I voted against it”….
Yeah, they’re the same. Kerry applied for his own purple hearts, wrangled his way out early, threw other’s medals over the Whitehouse fence in protest. McCain could’ve come home sooner, but knew that he shouldn’t accept favoritism, and spent many more years as a prisoner of war. Exactly the same people. Right.
I respect McCain’s service. I don’t much care for the policies he wants to implement, and in general, what he has done in the past as a politician. I haven’t even decided whether I will vote for him.
“You should be happy that Greenwald’s talent and hard-work have made him such a prominent blogger.”
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!ONE! (hawk) (spit) HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!
Best line of the day, honestly. Wait, you were serious? Well, then, you’re a douche.
– Yeh….Well that sockhead SOB Glenn(s) stiffed Me on the bill for the banjo lessons too, so I hope he completely unravels…..
……Wha…..?
– Oh….he already did?……never mind…….
– I sent Kerry a blank copy of the DDS180 military discharge form to his Senate office. I got a return envelope with a 15% off coupon on the Family size Heintz Ketchup, good at any Ace hardware store.
It’s called a question mark, professor.
Like the Maitre D’ in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, “I weep for the future.”
Oh, and you’ve gotta love this, from Hamster:
Um, the “seemingly insurmountable advantage” that those people seem to have might come from the fact that people, you know, buy their books.
But, wait, there’s more!
While we’re (*cough*-ing), may I *cough* out the name George Soros? No? Well, how’s about the fact that you just encouraged your moonbat army to buy an extra copy, just to inflate teh Gleens’es sales figures? Huh, Jane?
Wouldn’t it be tough if we had to parody these people? No, but it might take just a little more effort.
Maybe Vietnam Vets have a problem with flip-flopping. Didn’t McCain vote against a whole bunch of right-wing stuff before deciding he was for it? Of course, our country’s biggest problem is that we have a large political right that has access to America’s political and military power. McCain’s solution of launching a hostile takeover of right-wing politics is viewed as promising by all the people on the left who are thinking of voting for him. But I’m not sure.
“I don’t remember you having that much respect for Kerry.”
Ih I do, I do.
And remember, Bendict Arnold was a war hero, too.
“Of course, our country’s biggest problem is that we have a large political right that has access to America’s political and military power.”
Fascist much, there, perfesser?
Do you think Caric will ever figure out that McCain is not overwhelmingly popular on this site?
Of course, our country’s biggest problem is that we have a large political right that has access to America’s political and military power.
I have no idea what this sentence is supposed to mean – is the problem that there is a large political right, or is the problem that right-leaning citizens are permitted to vote and hold public office? Either which way it is a nice little authoritarian statement – “Everything would be perfect if we could just deny the right to vote and hold public office to the political right!”
Ric is making me laugh a bit. The differences between McCain and Kerry regarding Vietnam will likely be made quite clear by those that served with them. In any case, folks like Ric, the Gleens, and Ms. Hamster will develop the necessary internal lies required to continue their self assurances that they are champions of the troof. In case they are not creative enough to develop their own material, one of their fellow standard bearers will be glad to broadcast helpful suggestions.

He makes me throw up in my mouth a bit.
JD’s 4th Re-statement of Teh Obvious – Caric is a mendoucheous fat old man. And timmah is an asshat. And, IJS. But not Lauren Conrad.
Normally, Dan’s juxtaposing of seemingly unrelated links in his posts baffles me. In this case, though, is it possible he’s pointing to some guys that think so highly of themselves that they can’t see when they’re behaving ridiculously, poking fun at both Greenwald and Caric?
And, who knew that you could get a free tap into Wikipedia just by buying Greenwald’s book? Why do your own shoddy research, when you can pay Gleens to do shoddy research for you?
That aside, Glenn is a genius. I mean, who of us could have thought that McCain would deviously get himself captured and tortured in Vietnam, held prisoner for years, which would as a result screw up his marriage. Then, the sneaky bastard conspired to “accidentally” meet a schoolteacher who would later inherit controlling share in her dad’s business, which made $100 trillion in profit yearly. Ok, I made that last part up about the profit. The truth is, Wikipedia doesn’t know how profitable Hensley’s business was in 1980, nor has Glenn troubled himself to dig that deep. Too much like work, y’know. But it doesn’t matter, because McCain is married to a woman who is now rich, and everyone knows that rich people get where they are by either scheming, marriage, or (if it’s a Republican) both.
And for sure, McCain couldn’t possibly have fallen in love with Hensley and married her for that reason only. I mean, that’d be behavior too much like a real person, and everyone knows Republicans aren’t really people. No, McCain callously ditched his first wife and threw her over for a woman who would, two decades later, inherit millions of dollars. Because Republicans aren’t capable of human emotion, and aren’t really all that smart, but are evil, crafty and (in the case of McCain, at least) patient if eventual remuneration is at stake.
Really, it was all just a plot for him to become President. I can see that now. Thanks for lifting the caul from our eyes, Glenn! My hands are on you, right beside Jane’s!
Do you think Caric will ever figure out that McCain is not overwhelmingly popular on this site?
No, because that would entail:
1) Reading more than just the headlines and boldfaced type and,
2) Reading comments other than his own.
You know how to always win an argument on the internet? DRIVE-BY commenting.
He also thought that I hadn’t previously mentioned Gleen(s)'(s) new book, which is wrong . . . although I didn’t get the memo telling us not to provide it with free publicity.
Well, actually I did get the memo, but the impulse to ridicule was too great. Mea culpa.
So, you’re saying that John McCain is the same kind of man that John Kerry is. That makes sense.
In the sense that they are both white, male, and Senators … yes, the same kind of man. Similarities tend to fade away after that.
And where’s the congratulatory notice on Greenwald’s publication of his third book?
The sockpuppets and sycophants already took care of that. Mona, for the 1000th time, get your nose out of the gleens cornhole.
The problem for the dems (and in my view, the only real redeeming part of McCain being the republican nonminee) is they’ve fawned over him and his “maverick” stance so much in the past 4 years that any real criticism in the general election is almost specious. McCain’s reaching across the aisle, which caused so much angst in many conservatives (including myself) should in fact reassure democratic voters, caught up in the Hillary/Obama kerfluffle, that if McCain is elected, he’ll certainly be more inclined to listen to their concerns then say, Mitt Romney or Mike Huckabee. Everytime I see the democratic spin machine start turn itself on and go after McCain, I see an exercise in futility. With all the dems talk of conservatives being dividers, for better or for worse, the conservative electorate chose McCain as its nominee, something I think is akin to the democratic party choosing Joe Lieberman as its nominee. Conservatives have reached across the aisle, so to speak, and presented a presidential candidate that unlike a Bush family member, is for all intents and purposes, respected by the democratic party. The mudslinging to come (which is inevitable) will certainly demonstrate the depths of hypocrisy of the democratic party.
Matt Palladin – Well said.
“The mudslinging to come (which is inevitable) will certainly demonstrate the depths of hypocrisy of the democratic party.”
But the media will treat the mud as
“MUDD! New & Improveded! Now with 60% more sticking power!”
JD – Gleen provided a very positive review of his book.
Very positive.
[…] Greenwald groupie is big f*cking liar! […]
I think McCain should pick Lieberman as his running mate; it’d be fun to watch Markos’s head explode, after all the work he did to try to get Lieberman booted.
(Extra bonus blowup: Since Lieberman is now officially an Independent, thanks to Kos, there would be no actual “Party Crossover” on Joe’s part, except for the one that Kos himself caused.)
