This Site Will Never Be

A reader writes:

Do you think Patterico has written enough about your having had the audacity — shallow, uncritical, anti-intellectual lefty-hating GOP cheerleader and overemotional failed academic that you are — to suggest that his calling Barack Obama a ‘good man’ was rather an unfriendly slight on ‘good’?

Yes.

But sadly. that doesn’t mean he’ll ever stop.

  1. Jeff G. says:

    Oh. And Karl? If you’re going to start taking shots at me, have ball enough to do it here.

    Listen: if those interested in becoming the new pundit class want to freeze me out from their linkfests, fine. Incest doesn’t appeal to me anyway.

    But I will say what I feel. And, given the nature of this medium, I will often vent here, as is my wont.

    The best thing about being a blogger — not a pro pundit or a journalist — is that I don’t have to pretend to be something I’m not, nor do I have to shade my language so as not to unnecessarily ruffle the feathers of the moderate middle.

    If that means no more linky from sites who wish to replace the old media with a cyber-replica, I don’t much fucking care.

    This is the home of the outlaw. And yeah, I’ll be self-effacing and ironize that from time to time, but on a very real level I mean it.

    I don’t care about horse race politics. That was Karl’s thing. I care about ideas — and I laugh at those who are trying to frame my criticism of Patterico as that of an unthinking partisan cheerleader to Pat’s wise and moderate thinker.

    Michele Catalano lecturing that right-wingers who don’t believe Obama is good have become what they despise?

    Whatever. Precisely the kind of moral equivalence that rots our system.

    But as long as PJM is buying the columns, though, keep churning ’em out.

  2. dre says:

    You have to admit that O!’s a “good” snake oil salesman.

  3. SarahW says:

    Patterico might not forgive the slight on his honor, I suppose. All too soon, O will provide all the correction for that issue of misplaced generosity, that P. will ever require.

  4. Jeff G. says:

    I knew I should have stayed away from here today.

    Back to gym with me.

  5. Mossberg500 says:

    I doubt Patterico will feel the same way after he posts Now they tell us(XCIX).

  6. Spies, Brigands, and Pirates says:

    Okay, I just skimmed things over there.

    It looks like Patterico’s claim that Obama is a “good man” is primarily based on what he’s said, not so much on what he’s done.

    The Constitution of the Soviet Union said all sorts of lovely things, too.

  7. Jeff G. says:

    I feel sick again.

  8. pdbuttons says:

    pack it up Jeff/your too good for this miserable world

    is why i come to this place
    oh well- this is why i never brush my teeth with luke-warm water
    and neither do the people on your wonderful site
    “Get up Rocky-get up- u still got a shitload more movies to make!”

  9. happyfeet says:

    I think SarahW is on the mark. Baracky will unify. You’ll see. He’s president of a country that only exists in his bitter dark dirty socialist mind. So far.

  10. Mossberg500 says:

    Outlaws don’t do vanilla!

  11. Jeff G. says:

    These kinds of people have to kill me off. They know why, too.

  12. happyfeet says:

    Baracky is not very compromisey they’ll find I think and appeasement is such an ugly word.

  13. SarahW says:

    All the same when my family is cowering behind tombstones, I won’t go razzin’ Patterico that he’ll never be one of them. :)

  14. pdbuttons says:

    i come for the funny
    and the smart
    and the funny
    and the wise-assery
    in case anyone cares
    and the bakery
    and the fuck u attitude
    the not ‘back-off-ery’
    did i mention smart?
    cuz this sites smarter than fredo
    not dumb-like everybody thinks
    smart

  15. happyfeet says:

    Jeez, dre.

    nishi gave me a happy song. It’s all I’ve got.

  16. SarahW says:

    H’feets, I enjoyed looking at Liesl’s boyfriend’s website today.

  17. Seth Williams says:

    Well, some of us value what you do. I know I do.

  18. happyfeet says:

    oh. I promised him today I’d stop calling him that. But the Sittin’ In My Studebaker! song sounds like a hoot.

  19. Pretty Boy Pablo says:

    These kinds of people have to kill me off. They know why, too.

    I think that’s overly dramatic, and I think you overestimate your place in the cavalcade of shit Patterico is taking for his proclamation. But SEK can take a big wet suck on my ass. How fucking tiresome can one person be?

  20. Jeff G. says:

    It may be dramatic, Pablo. But it’s OUTLAW dramatic.

    I was wearing a chain wallet when I wrote it, just so’s you know.

  21. Jeff G. says:

    Oh. And who is SEK?

  22. Pretty Boy Pablo says:

    Yeah, but what kind of hat did you have on?

  23. Mossberg500 says:

    Comment by Jeff G. on 11/9 @ 9:37 pm #

    Oh. And who is SEK?

    Probably some pussy who wears a matching white chiffon dress, pill box hat and high heels.

  24. Jeff G. says:

    An Affliction Vengeance beanie. With a crown of thorns wrapped around it.

  25. Obstreperous Infidel says:

    Good for you, Jeff. These people don’t understand that it’s the ideas that count in the long run. Keep on doing what you do. You are the best.

  26. Pablo & Clyde says:

    I dunno how OUTLAW it is, but that’s quite a hat. And SEK is the really, really tiresome one.

  27. Mark A. Flacy says:

    Maybe Patterico needs some Extreme negative feedback.

  28. Patterico says:

    My problem was never that you wanted to argue that Obama isn’t good. It’s that you *insisted* on questioning my integrity in doing so.

    Now SEK is over there questioning your motives the same way you questioned mine. I don’t think he’s right about that either.

    I guess we’ll see if your prediction is true that I will “never” stop posting about your “audacity.” Somehow I think that’s an overstatement. Because, you know, WORDS MEAN THINGS!!!

    I’ll certainly be more skeptical of your posts in the future where you claim to divine the intentions of others, knowing as I do that you misjudged mine. But 1) I think I’ll get over it, your doubts notwithstanding, and 2) I still think you’re a brilliant writer.

  29. keith taylor says:

    Jeff: I like you. I love your site. Stop fighting this war. We know, and Patterico knows what President-elect Obama is. Don’t stop fighting. I don’t think Patterico will either.

  30. Sgt. York says:

    Folks, it’s all about principle: Stick with it, and at the end of the day, you’ll be able to look yourself in the mirror.

    And in the long run, that’s what counts.

  31. Paleo Pat says:

    You boys play nice now or I’ll send you both to bed without any supper.

    Ya Hear?

    ;)

    -Pat

  32. happyfeet says:

    You should just believe what’s in your heart cause there’s no border between us and nothing can divide us I think.

  33. Darleen says:

    at one time I thought SEK was one of the rare lefty-libs who dealt from reason rather than forcing people into the cartoon non-leftist he carries in his head.

    my bad

  34. SarahW says:

    That studebaker song was alarming and operatic at the same time.

  35. Pablo & Clyde says:

    I’m a principled and honest man who made an unprincipled and dishonest argument!

    The irony here is that, in the abstract, I believe such a thing to be possible — while, apparently, Jeff and his compatriots don’t.

    I think that’s where you’re wrong, Pat. I think that’s exactly the estimation of the situation that you’re seeing. But if the argument about your statement is going to devolve into one about your overall virtue or lack thereof, it’s going to hinge on the statement at hand, which is pointless.

    I don’t think that really helps anyone. After all, we’ve just elected a Marxist president. We probably ought to focus on that.

  36. happyfeet says:

    But calling his cd Gazebo Love was a masterstroke I think.

  37. Pablo & Clyde says:

    Oh, that’s from here, btw.

  38. Went lookin’ for you tubes of little Hitler and Cruel to be kind, Nick Lowe songs, found this one

  39. serr8d says:

    The word ‘good’ just doesn’t leave my tongue with a good feeling, if that tongue tries to use it in the same sentence with BHO. It just doesn’t fit so well with the Baracky I think I know.

    Maybe others know a different one.

  40. Jeff G. says:

    I’m a principled and honest man who made an unprincipled and dishonest argument!

    The irony here is that, in the abstract, I believe such a thing to be possible — while, apparently, Jeff and his compatriots don’t.

    I think the post was principled, if pragmatism and a desire to do something politically is a principle. It’s just a bad principle, and one that I don’t believe Patrick generally follows.

    That was the point.

    As for SEK, he just likes to hear himself talk, and he’ll have better luck over there than he will here.

  41. Seems to me that Patterico was just trying to be gallant to the winning O-pponent. That evening called for it. There’s no need to fear that he’ll go soft on Obama once the Messiah’s program rolls out.

  42. It’s like that bumpersticker in the 80s: “Commit random and senseless acts”, or something like that.

  43. thor says:

    And Serr8d licks his eyes with that tongue, eeh.

  44. Mossberg500 says:

    gas now, bitch!

  45. Gas Station Attendant Thor says:

    Can I fill your tank, and suck your hose like a Russian whore!

  46. Vladimir the Marxist Worker says:

    Я возглавляюсь к Аляске, чтобы содомизировать ту Примадонну и ее дочерей.

  47. accurate pollster says:

    This is the home of the outlaw.

    Those grapes were sour anyway.

    Me? I’d reinvent myself as a short-lived Ostrogoth.

  48. Jeff G. says:

    Wow. SEK saying I wrote that post in order to start a blog spat and get traffic is just too rich. That guy’s entire blog is predicated on such traffic; me, I just reacted to reading the post after someone mentioned it in a comment. The idea that I want PARTY PURITY is also astounding — particularly when I don’t care about any party, and all I really want is intellectual coherence and a bit of respect for the founding principles and documents of this country.

    Nishi is over there saying I have no balls. Karl is taking shots at me. There’s probably a lesson in there for me somewhere.

    If more people want to read Patterico — and plenty of people have fled me for his site — more power to ’em. That I have even a few traditional conservatives who read here still amazes me, given my propensity to talk back and use dirty words.

    Start a blog feud for traffic, though? Give me a break. That’s the gayest fucking thing I’ve ever heard.

  49. Gas Station Attendant Thor says:

    And your mama douche’s with beet juice!

  50. Gas Station Attendant Thor says:

    And your mama douches with beet juice!

  51. Dan Collins says:

    Yeah, but some of those people are nishi, datadave and so forth. So it’s not as though Pat’s never done anything for you, Jeff. ;-P

  52. Patterico says:

    “If more people want to read Patterico — and plenty of people have fled me for his site — more power to ‘em.”

    I’d recommend that people flee other sites for mine *and* yours.

  53. serr8d says:

    I can’t believe Karl hasn’t even returned here to comment.

    And to think I thought he left for a legitimate reason. That thought has worn a bit thin over time.

  54. Vladimir the Marxist Worker says:

    Jeff, скажите, что Patterico, чтобы пойти трахает Sarah Palin в заднице. Ne gandom nekogda, boom boom, suka, chlen marinovanii.

  55. Dan Collins says:

    What Pat said was handsome, and exactly right. Your blogs treat some of the same issues. They do so from different perspectives. It’s not a zero-sum game.

  56. Jeff G. says:

    I injured his honor, serr8d

    It’s a gift.

    By the way, I think datadave was over there calling me a skinhead.

    Just good clean fun, that!

  57. Gas Station Attendant Thor says:

    My Russian whore will fill your gas tank, while taking it in the ass – cause she can multi-task.

  58. serr8d says:

    datadave is a shit-flinging monkey, just like thor. At least nishi was cute.

  59. accurate pollster says:

    [blah blah personal attack blah. – ed]

  60. Jeff G. says:

    My wife commented recently how she’s so proud that I don’t let this stuff get to me like I used to.

    She was right. I want to do what I can to educate, but dealing with most of the trolls doesn’t further that. Occasionally, when they speak on topic, they create an opportunity for me to launch into a point I’d like to drive home.

    Too much of the time, though, it’s personal — and I just can’t ever imagine spending my days going to sites that other people write and pissing on them as a kind of hobby. I mean, don’t these people know how to download porn?

  61. Patterico says:

    “What Pat said was handsome, and exactly right.”

    “Handsome”?

  62. serr8d says:

    “accurate pollster”. There’s a definition of self contradictory I haven’t heard before.

  63. Darleen says:

    JeffG

    I’m almost a full traditional conservative (ie classic liberal) and while I read you both, I love this place and your writing because, dammit man, you make me think AND laugh.

    Pat writes very well, but he can’t help reining in any shocking irrelevancy or risk … it’s that lawyer thing.

    IMHO that’s where the “Obama is a good man” thing popped up. He is willing to make such a pronoucement as “good form” even over all indications to the contrary, and may only later realize that all his disclaimers of being foresquare against any Obama policy he thinks wrong, that all will not count as only his “Obama is a good man” line will be remembered and repeated by BarryO! cultists.

    Pat is a man of good intentions but we all know the road is paved ….

  64. Jeff G. says:

    For instance, “accurate pollster” is doubtless an old troll with a new name. What purpose does he serve? None that I can think of.

    I mean, I already noted that I’d be self-effacing about the OUTLAW thing, and I have: of course it’s corny. But it’s also useful. Whereas ap’s comments? Not so much.

    So away they go.

  65. Spies, Brigands, and Pirates says:

    There’s probably a lesson in there for me somewhere.

    Yes. The lesson is that you can judge a man’s character by his enemies.

    Seems like you’d have more reason to worry if dicklessdouche, SEK, and the rest started saying nice things about you.

  66. Sdferr says:

    Don Boudreaux at Cafe Hayek:

    It is not too much of a simplification to note that America is divided into two groups of persons: those who believe in their bones that what goes on in Washington is largely a serious quest by serious people to tackle serious problems seriously, and those who understand that what goes on in Washington is largely theater scripted so that the actors and actresses appear at first glance to be ‘public servants’ but in fact care for nothing nearly as much as maximizing their power and satisfying their megalomania.

    Alas, the first group greatly outnumbers the second. This fact means that those of us in the second group are forced to attend and watch – and participate in the large audience role required in – this absurd drama.

  67. Vladimir the Marxist Worker says:

    Serr8d, ti raspizdyay kolhoznii, ti pizda s ushami, ia tebya imeyu.

    So that is Jeff might one day throw it down in Russian, translation – Serr8d, you stupid redneck, you vagina with ears, I own you.

  68. geoffb says:

    This from NRO the Corner linked above,

    “The goals are to secure a national holiday in Obama’s honor, to organize celebrations around his inauguration and to celebrate the 200th birthday of President Abraham Lincoln, who was born on Feb. 12 1809.”

    made me retaste dinner.

    Presidents day was bad enough. Shoving together the birthdays of two of our greatest Presidents into one all purpose government union 3 day weekend excuse.

    Now the want to add Obama. A man who hasn’t done anything except be “present”. A Zelig who has thugged his way to the threshold of the highest office on Earth to be celebrated with Lincoln and Washington.

    His narcissism is exceeding all bounds and it hasn’t been one week since the election yet.

  69. Spies, Brigands, and Pirates says:

    By the way, thor: you’re a sovok and a chekist.

  70. Vladimir the Marxist Worker says:

    is = if

  71. baxtrice says:

    I cannot, for the life of me call up the effort call the President Elect a good man, he is most certainly an opportunist. A man who will use anyone or anything at his disposal for advancement. Driving ambition, but for what? By his own words, he has called himself a blank slate, an empty rhetorical spouting suit.

    For 8 years conservatives and republicans have endured some nasty hate and bilge spewed at them. They have been targeted for destruction, and all the while, the repubs and the conservs have withstood it with class and wit, trying to deflect it with the tired old defense of civility. But instead, we were dealt a crushing defeat. Patterico has once again picked up the “civility” defense, while Jeff has decided that it doesn’t work. And that is why they squabble, and while the squabble will continue through the GOP. Some want to indulge their pent up anger just a bit, but others know if we do, the finger wagging will continue.

    We fight a losing game with a Press that has already picked sides.

  72. bmeuppls says:

    I am a conservative. I post here. And at Pat and JOM and Ace and others. Each has overlap. I see posters I recognize on those sites that I see here. The important thing is that we are all interconnected in the meta-sense. That is the conservative fabric that is being woven on the webs. Each site is a piece of the quilt and the commenters (the sane ones anyway) are the stitches that bind the whole into the tent of the conservative movement.

    I think that with that hopey-changey-barftastic analogy, I threw up a little in my mouth, but you know what I mean.

  73. Jeff G. says:

    Off to workout now. I keep putting it off.

    Which is dangerous. Because M’chelle says she’ll put me to work, so I have to stay fit.

  74. Gas Station Attendant Thor says:

    Can I pump some gas while my Russian whore eats some dirty butt?

  75. Patterico says:

    “Pat writes very well, but he can’t help reining in any shocking irrelevancy or risk … it’s that lawyer thing.”

    Well, avoidance of risk is to some extent a “having bosses” thing. I don’t say anything I think is untrue, but there are stories I don’t tell and things I don’t say because I have the image of my office to think about — however much I try to separate the two.

    It hasn’t kept me from calling Retardo Montalban a “pussy” at Sadly No . . . but it has reined me in to a certain extent.

    Also, I will admit that Jeff is naturally far funnier than I am. I don’t take that as an insult, as he’s naturally far funnier than most people. Anyone who flees his blog for mine is a fool.

  76. bmeuppls says:

    Too much of the time, though, it’s personal — and I just can’t ever imagine spending my days going to sites that other people write and pissing on them as a kind of hobby. I mean, don’t these people know how to download porn?

    Their “Golden Showers” of love???

  77. serr8d says:

    Karl, I know you’re reading this. You need to decloak and come back into the fold.

    If thor says anything askance, I’ll personally track him down and slap him until his pussy bleeds.

  78. accurate pollster says:

    For instance, “accurate pollster” is doubtless an old troll with a new name. What purpose does he serve? None that I can think of.

    It was a metaphor. Maybe a simile, I forget which is which.

  79. Christoph says:

    Give the fellow a break, Jeff! I think Patterico is pretty much what passes for a conservative in Los Angeles.

    What you and I consider a conservative would be Attila the Hun in L.A.

  80. Spies, Brigands, and Pirates says:

    I’ll personally track him down and slap him until his pussy bleeds.

    HAHAHAHA!

  81. Patterico says:

    “Patterico has once again picked up the “civility” defense, while Jeff has decided that it doesn’t work. And that is why they squabble . . .”

    Not quite. The only reason I ever squabbled with Jeff is because he said that I was acting in an unprincipled and dishonest manner. I don’t feel the need to “squabble” with people who disagree with me, as long as they don’t attack me personally.

    But I’ll get over it. Jeff says in his post here that I won’t, but I will.

  83. Darleen says:

    Pat

    I certainly understand the cautiousness because of your job. Trolls could make trouble for you.

    I, for one, appreciate the yeoman’s job you do in watching the LASlimes (though I have a bone to pick with you on accepting their reasoning on the Obama tape thing).

    I just have a gut feeling you are going to regret your magnanimity towards BarryO! much sooner than you thing.

  84. lee says:

    I have even a few traditional conservatives who read here

    At the risk of being called a hypocrite, I am one of those.

    This blog is TITS!!

  85. Darleen says:

    thing = think

    argh

  86. baxtrice says:

    “But I’ll get over it. Jeff says in his post here that I won’t, but I will.”

    Let us hope that both of you do, because you and Jeff serve as good examples to the conservative viewership. We don’t need an echo chamber like DKOS but we do need rationed, logical and intelligent men and women on the right to inspire and move us all past this period.

    I read both yours and Jeff’s blog, personally I’m taking Jeff’s side on this issue here, but I will not impugn your character, I just think you’re being a bit naive. :)

  87. Patterico says:

    “I, for one, appreciate the yeoman’s job you do in watching the LASlimes (though I have a bone to pick with you on accepting their reasoning on the Obama tape thing).”

    I accept it regarding the promise of confidentiality, which I suspected might be the case even before they said so.

    I don’t accept that explanation as an excuse for failing to release more information. But I think you know that already.

  88. SarahW says:

    Yes, handsome. In that old “gracious, generous, pleasing,dignified sense”. Although I’m not really opposed to a nice set of guns.

    Comment by keith taylor on 11/9 @ 10:06 pm #

    Jeff: I like you. I love your site. Stop fighting this war. We know, and Patterico knows what President-elect Obama is. Don’t stop fighting. I don’t think Patterico will either.

    Keith Taylor, you’re diametrically wrong.

    I and others life Jeff G. have one picture of Barack Obama and in my case at least, it is of an evil man (pro-infantide and partial birth abortion = evil in my eyes, and Jeff G. has other issues that he may rate rate higher in importance, which Obama also fails).

    Patterico sees Barack Obama as basically decent. I think he’s a liar, a political thug, a megalomaniac, and if he’s not checked, has the potential to become a leftist totalitarian dictator.

    Admittedly he may never. But in the meantime he will still increase the amount of children killed in the United States and weighted against this, during a political campaign when Obama couldn’t afford to get on the bad side of voters he said some half-decent things, which for the most part coincided with his goal of becoming President anyway.

    Clearly I’m wrong, Patterico is wrong, or it’s somewhere in the middle (although in the middle between what I say and what Patterico says would still be a fairly bad man).

    Kevin, anyway, it’s nonsense to say “we” AND Patterico know what Obama is. Someone somewhere here doesn’t.

  90. serr8d says:

    No, not naive; lawyerly. Pat’s covering every angle possible.

    But using a chess analogy, he’s pushing a pawn.

  91. Patterico says:

    Oh, that guy Paleo Pat, who exhorted Jeff and me to “play nice”?

    He is Chuck Adkins.

    Yeah, that Chuck Adkins.

    So when I thought he was an asshole, turns out I was right.

  92. happyfeet says:

    The appearances and strategerizing parts of the argument have fallen away. The people are watching parts. Those were interesting and important and puzzling. Does it really work like that I wonder. The idea that how we disagree with our new president person is key seems predicated on a premise that what is happening is normal, just a turn of the wheel of democracy as we’ve always known it. But it’s not at all normal what we’re seeing. It just isn’t.

    Comment by serr8d on 11/9 @ 11:24 pm #

    Karl, I know you’re reading this. You need to decloak and come back into the fold.

    If thor says anything askance, I’ll personally track him down and slap him until his pussy bleeds.

    I’d beat your hick face until your eyes are blacker than the inside of Obama’s asshole.

  94. Christoph says:

    “… he said that I was acting in an unprincipled and dishonest manner…”

    I don’t know if you’re being dishonest. I doubt it. It’s possible that you might be doing some self-preservation if the Obama regime and its supporters are anywhere as nasty as some people think they are, but I tend to think you’re not lying.

    However, I do believe you lack integrity in this case because one day you’re telling us Obama will bring back the horror of partial-birth abortion (stabbing skull, sucking out brains, etc., your descriptions) and the next day you’re telling us he’s basically decent because of some things he said.

    If one of the definitions of integrity is:

    “Steadfast adherence to a strict moral or ethical code.”

    … then I think you completely fail this test on this really important issue. It was, after all, your last argument about why people should vote against Obama.

  95. Darleen says:

    ewww… Chuck Adkins?

    I feel dirty being even in the same thread as he is….

  96. Spies, Brigands, and Pirates says:

    I’d beat your hick face

    You’re a coward, thor.

    You’ve proven it repeatedly.

    Now, get me my free gas, bitch.

  97. Gas Station Attendant Thor says:

    I’d beat your hick face until your eyes are blacker than the inside of Obama’s asshole.

    My Russian whore would be willing to tongue O!’s asshole, and could fill a couple of gas tanks simultaneously.

  98. Patterico says:

    Yeah, Paleo Pat = Chuck Adkins. The guy who insulted the wife of Mike from Cold Fury, after she had died.

    As Pat said on his own site,

    I sometimes wonder if I have a different perspective on “evil” and “bad” because of that job. When you spend your day trying to prove the guilt of people who shoot and stab other people, often for the stupidest of reasons — well, it makes it harder to call a guy evil or bad because he does some unsavory things in the pursuit of political power.

    Now, considering I also have ten years in at a DA office (NOT as a lawyer) and am now in Probation Dept, my perspective is a bit different. I see the graduations of morality/immorality and don’t view it was a strict good/bad dichotomy. Obama may no be as “evil” or “bad” as some guy who has murdered his girlfriend, but he has done or allowed to be done, things that are unethical, immoral and questionably criminal in his name.

    All sin isn’t the same, anymore than all crime. Obama may still be in misdemeanor land..flirting with felonies … but that doesn’t make him innocent.

    I have seen little indication that he is “evil” (which is a conscious effort to do evil things and know that they are evil things) but I still think his moral bank account is fully in the red.

    He may redeem himself, I fear he will not.

  103. SarahW says:

    I have the odd feeling JeffG took something I said in not the wry and dry way I meant it. My fault if so.

    You might mistake my meaning too, Patterico. I take at face value you are not consciously acting against principle.
    But I think JeffG is right at the same time. I think you might not really know yourself here. He thinks you too wise to be taken in. I think I do too, at least on some level.

    Is it practical, is it wise, to allow Obama “good”? I don’t know. But I won’t do it.

  104. Christoph says:

    Well, Darleen, it was Patterico who used the partial-birth stabbing skull with scissors / sucking out brains / “horror” example. That post made an impact on me. I referred people to it and thought it was eloquent and entirely correct.

    On the other hand, Patterico pointed out to some decent things Obama had said, and I’m sure no one doubts he must have done some decent things in his life. Most people have, even vicious criminals.

    At best that seems to me to indicate the “jury is out” on Obama. I think Patterico concluding he’s basically a nice/decent/good man is ridiculous. And lacking integrity.

    Christoph, I can never address your abortion arguments without derailing a thread completely. But a principled person can accept that D&E is a necessary procedure in some instances, and take great issue with your characterization of any contrary view to your own about that issue as evil. That’s not why Obama is bad.

    Remember that.

  113. Christoph says:

    SarahW, it was Patterico who described it as a horror. I find it hard to believe someone who brings about a horror is “good”.

    “But a principled person can accept that D&E [and/or partial-birth abortion – ed] is a necessary procedure in some instances…”

    Maybe, SarawW., a “principled” person can, but a good person simply cannot under the majority of circumstances where it is in fact used.

    Plus, remember, Patterico called this a horror.

  114. Christoph says:

    “That’s not why Obama is bad.”

    Oh, and it sure as hell is why Obama is an evil sonofabitch, taken together with his support of infanticide under certain circumstances.

    Personally I surmise there’s a strong probability of extra-large negatives. We should be prepared for the worst, and feel relief if BHO turns out to be as innocuous as Eisenhower.

    But, in these charged times, with so many powder kegs laying about, it’s Boy Scout motto time: Be Prepared. (I would say give him enough rope to hang himself, but that might be RACIST!!11!!! )

    You know, a discussion by email would be acceptable to me. I don’t have desire to inflict an abortion fight on other people when they are talking about something else.”

    SarahW, this is entirely relevant to the discussion of whether Patterico’s conclusion about Barack Obama being a decent man is correct, and whether Patterico is showing integrity by calling the man who would bring back such “horror” decent and good.

    As far as usage of partial-birth abortion, I will go with the source himself, the relevant November 2nd, 2008, Patterico post:

    “Radical abortion rights supporters claim that we need to have partial-birth abortion, because (they claim) most late-term abortions are done for medical reasons such as terrible genetic abnormalities. Don’t believe me; believe liberal journalists David Savage and Franklin Foer.

    Even if (you’re not) you are right, you’re arguing against the information Patterico himself says he believes, in bold type no less.

    EPIC FAIL.

  132. lee says:

    ewww… Chuck Adkins?

  137. Christoph says:

    I mistyped Patterico’s excerpt, so I will retype it because it’s critical for an understanding of the last post:

    “Radical abortion rights supporters claim that we need to have partial-birth abortion, because (they claim) most late-term abortions are done for medical reasons such as terrible genetic abnormalities. This is not so. Don’t believe me; believe liberal journalists David Savage and Franklin Foer.

    So Patterico is saying are dead wrong when you write this:

    “I don’t think you have any informed notion of when that procedure is “generally” used. And, BTW, it is almost never used, certainly not the way you describe it.”

    If anyone can do with an education on the subject, it is yourself.

    Getting back to the point of this thread, I’ve said my piece. Patterico believes Obama is decent and I and others think it’s ludicrous. I don’t believe he’s a liar, but I do think Patterico lacks integrity in this instance for the reason I’ve expressed.

  138. geoffb says:

    I see the blogging Right as “organized” on a Federalist model. All try to do what they can in whatever fashion seems to be best to them.

    Disagreements happen and are argued out, mostly in civil and logical ways, and in the end no one has to do any others bidding and can go their own way or not. The best or correct way will work best and by example win the argument.

    On the Left, from personal experience long ago, and from the actions of recent decades, consensus building always flows from the top down. The elite decide how things should be done, seen, thought or talked about and over night that is the consensus.

    The internet linking patterns showed this difference. On the Right links flowed both up to the main sites and out from those to the smaller less traveled ones.

    On the Left the linking goes up to the big sites but very little linking goes down to the smaller sites.

    If your argument is that Patterico is hoisted on his own petard by his previous posts on a method of carrying out induced abortion, that’s different that the one I was having with you. (So I’ll stop having my discussion with you, unless you want to take it private).

    Patterico may well believe that O may be mistaken about his position, but acted in good faith. I dare not speak for Patterico.

    LauraW,

    Since you publicly made the insulting remark I could, “You could do with an education,” and also stated that I’m uninformed on the subject, and I’ve now proven I got my facts on this subject from Patterico, then can you at least publicly:

    1. apologize and admit you are wrong
    2. acknowledge that while you believe you’re right, Patterico is wrong

    … just for the sake of intellectual honesty. I’d like to see it from you. I’m not saying you don’t have it, but just dropping the discussion after your public insult without doing one or the other would be intellectually honest.

  149. Christoph says:

    Sorry, my mistake. SarahW.

  164. Christoph says:

    SarahW, you’re displaying intellectual dishonesty if not cowardice. You made a false statement publicly and you did not have to do so. You called me ignorant and said I needed an education, when you were wrong as Patterico’s post itself, its reference, and numerous other sources would demonstrate. It would be a simple matter to choose 1 or 2 above and it would not go on ad infinitum.

    However, you prefer to leave your insult and false statement on a critical matter of life and death (a “horror”) uncorrected. I had to challenge you on this in public so other people were not mislead by your ignorance.

  165. lee says:

    But isn’t everything about me?!?!

    Why yes sweetie, yes it is.

    Christoph, I don’t accept your characterization, but I won’t discuss it here.

  169. Christoph says:

    “Christoph, why so pissy?”

    Mostly because as much as I might agree with SarahW on other issues, life and death of innocent unborn children is too important to let a blatant falsehood stand unchallenged in the public realm. Well-meaning people could be swayed in a way they wouldn’t otherwise — nor wouldn’t even want to be — if they knew the truth.

  170. lee says:

    Well Christoph, it wasn’t the time or place for Sarah, she politly told you that a couple of times, and pressing the matter is counterproductive.

    Shrillness rarely makes the point you intend.

  171. Christoph says:

    “Well Christoph, it wasn’t the time or place for Sarah, she politly told you that a couple of times, and pressing the matter is counterproductive.”

    She also insulted me based on a falsehood and refused to either back up her position, nor apologize and retract it after I provided evidence to the contrary (provided helpfully enough by Patterico).

    Under the circumstances, she didn’t deserve a great deal of courtesy from yours truly. Further, even if she did, accurate information re: life and death of unborn children (partial birth abortion) provided to others here so they can make an informed decision is more important than anyone’s potential hurt feelings.

    Abortion discussions rarely make friends. Read Patterico’s post. It’s extremely graphic and offensive to supporters of abortion, and minimizers, and apologists.

    Meh.

  172. lee says:

    I’m on your side of the issue, and don’t care about the personal BS. I’m just trying to give you some advice, for what it’s worth.

    It’s possible to to change peoples minds, but only when they are ready, and the ground work is done. Press the issue too much and no one will want to talk to you about it.

    Don’t be that guy…

  173. Gnasty says:

    Man, I wanted to try and keep up on this thread, but between the “thor” character and some russian dude, it takes me 10 minutes just to pull the scroll bar down.

    Dudes. “Meaningful discourse.” Look into it.

    I’ve read PW for quite a while now, as well as Patterico. Definitely different tone, different approach, different culture. Same general motivation and goals, though. Both quality sites in every respect. Patterico you have to read with a cup of coffee and a clear head. PW you’ve got to read with a shot of good rum and a chase of a decent import, not to mention a thesaurus.

    Although, I do rather miss the red pills and the armadillo, but they’re probably so, you know, “Bush Era.”

    I just hope you guys iron out the ruffled pin feathers, and all that.

  174. Christoph says:

    20 minutes ago Patterico wrote this:

    Now I see what this “psycho” stuff was all about. Some guy named “psycho” claimed, in a Protein Wisdom thread, that I invented the e-mail that I quoted in this post.

    It was actually from someone named Cory S., and it was much longer than the stuff I quoted. But I think this “psycho” person managed to convince Jeff that it was all some passive-aggressive shot at him.

    And in the same comment he called Allahpundit a bitch. Hence happyfeet’s reference.

    I get it now.

    Does anyone know what the hell he’s talking about or does he just need some sleep?

    So “psycho” made a mistake about the email. I don’t think Jeff G. would think Patterico would just making up emails. I could be wrong. Maybe Jeff G. believes that.

    But I really don’t think so. Patterico should link to Jeff G.’s alleged reaction to psycho’s comment (wherever that is: I haven’t found it yet), because that’s just a strange thing for Patterico to say.

When you spend your day trying to prove the guilt of people who shoot and stab other people, often for the stupidest of reasons — well, it makes it harder to call a guy evil or bad because he does some unsavory things in the pursuit of political power.

I see the graduations of morality/immorality and don’t view it was a strict good/bad dichotomy. Obama may no be as “evil” or “bad” as some guy who has murdered his girlfriend, but he has done or allowed to be done, things that are unethical, immoral and questionably criminal in his name.

    You are a terminal bigot, and probably clinically insane.


    All sin isn’t the same, anymore than all crime. Obama may still be in misdemeanor land..flirting with felonies … but that doesn’t make him innocent.

    For how long have you woken-up to a bottle of Wild Turkey?


    I have seen little indication that he is “evil” (which is a conscious effort to do evil things and know that they are evil things) but I still think his moral bank account is fully in the red.

    He may redeem himself, I fear he will not.

    UK’s Brown: Now is the time to build global society
    07:03 PM EST

    LONDON (Reuters) – The international financial crisis has given world leaders a unique opportunity to create a truly global society, Britain’s Prime Minister Gordon Brown will say in a keynote foreign policy speech on Monday.

    In his annual speech at the Lord Mayor’s Banquet, Brown — who has spearheaded calls for the reform of international financial institutions — will say Britain, the United States and Europe are key to forging a new world order.

    Well, here we go then — this lovely bit of news apropos the Officer of the New Office of the Imperial Bipartisan Commander in Chief’s Office of Change and President Elect Office. Complete with seal. Good to see just how much the leftists have done for the country,electing this political megalomaniac. Good to see just how much the leftists have done for even, open discourse vetting this political megalomaniac.

    O!

    If shame still existed, the left’d be feeling it. If. Where’s my gas, bitch.

    Ga! I spent yesterday with my bil who is leaving for Afghanistan this week. And FUCKING OBAMA is going to be the president. Hopefully my bil was just tired and … I dunno, perhaps in the military ‘get-ready’ frame of mind, but he didn’t seem in the same confident state he did before he went to Bagdad. I’m afraid that his concern has to do with his new Commander in Chief.

    I’m not terribly interested in debating whether Obama is a good man.

    And, honestly, the more other blogs decide to shut Jeff out – out of pettiness, or personality conflicts, the more I decide I don’t need to read those other blogs. Isn’t it about the ideas?

    We elected a poisonous snake. If you give it any leeway at all you’re going to get bit.I don’t perceive any gradient of ‘goodness’ here.I do perceive a relentless struggle to wrest from me what little personal freedoms remain to me while simultaneously picking my pocket.I don’t see and inherent goodness in that. Yeah. I take it personally.

    And thor. You backhand nobody. you just beclown yourself and make whatever cause you think you’re championing just that more rediculous. So take your establishment Obamas ass kissing self the hell out of here and start getting with Obamas free gas program you snaggle toothed conch bitch.

    Fed Defies Transparency Aim in Refusal to Identify Bank Loans

    By Mark Pittman, Bob Ivry and Alison Fitzgerald

    Nov. 10 (Bloomberg) — The Federal Reserve is refusing to identify the recipients of almost $2 trillion of emergency loans from American taxpayers or the troubled assets the central bank is accepting as collateral.

    And I for one welcome bright thinkers who would resist Obamalot with silk flowers, tiny kisses, and complete, abject, full-on, clinical denial.

    You know, my life depends on the monthly benevolence of a major drug company. I wonder how much longer I have to live once everything’s collectivised and medical research finally augers in.

  189. Mr. Pink says:

    “If shame still existed, the left’d be feeling it. If. Where’s my gas, bitch.”

    You are talking about the same people that have been calling the president a nazi murderer for the last 8 years who now say “everyone should respect the new president” without a trace of laughter or irony. I do not think the people you are referring to are mentally stable enough to feel shame.

    I’m assuming a stunned silence. These are the people who are living and dying over there, who see day to day the difference we are making, can see how far the Iraqi people have come, and are now faced with a CINC who wants rip them untimely away, possibly snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

    The mere ability to discourse with aplomb, efficacy, and erudition, is of little consequence when one repeatedly fails to evidence the desire to do so. As a matter of course, it detracts significantly from the credibility of your positions, and puts you firmly into the category of “wanker.”

    Troll: Making random, non-sequitorish comments only loosely (if that) tied to the conversation, not for the purpose of contributing measurably to the discourse, but rather, just to be a shit.

    Non-sequitorish?

    Good sir, there is no dark corner of etymology where your type of word molestation can hide. Here on PW either you either care for you words or I will beat the ever-living crap out you. I will cause you clots. Your face will be mistaken for a to-go order of veal marsala. Your mother, didn’t she ever wash out your mouth after an indecent grammatical cavorting?

But we’re starting the discussion now. The better things get, the more we can do,” a European diplomat, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said.
    “We are certainly concerned and we are thinking of ways of how to help stabilize the country,” another diplomat said.

    They’re trying to think of way to help stabilize w/o soiling their pretty uniforms. Of course, the outward face will be they they were isolated by Bush. @@. I’m SO GLAD we’ve elected a president the world likes.

    Qualify that with The Republican Treasury and Fed, you flag waving hallucination.

    And yes, I read your anti-charity treatise and all I have to say about it is that I believe you to be an Americanoidessive, which my pet name, combined term, favored moniker for American-paranoid-obsessive.

  235. American says:

    sasha,

    Is this a Russian site now? Do you even realize how your misplaced arrogance makes you look? Of course not. Seeing as Russian is the language of those who accept their spoon fed info and look down on others who cherish their freedom. You think you’re better than non-Russians because of the Motherland’s rich history. Fuck your rich history. You laid down for the military and then you came to this country. Now start screaming indignantly immigrant. It’s what you do. Just look at yourself. You come to PW and start typing in Russian and then scold others for not knowing Russian. This is America Jack! When you know English well enough to not look like an idiot, then maybe you can graduate to lecturing folks on the proper verbs and conjunctions in the language of runaways.

    You got chased from a Russian site didn’t you?

  236. Carin says:

It was 3AM here when he called. So I saw this guys face while he was on the phone just crumple.

    She found someone else. Message to men, the QUALITY of the woman you choose matters. I never cared for her. Spoiled rich kid. And, that letter was merely the final proof that she was a bitch. He was due home just after Christmas, and her new boyfriend wanted to take her away on Holiday. She certainly could go w/o dropping the bomb on him. A woman with any character would have sucked it up at least a few months until he got home. But, that’s not the way spoiled children act.

    Funny when you would talk to guys they say the girl wrote she found someone else. Using the word found means they are looking. Like when a brigade deploys and you see the NCO club fill up with women you never seen before. Sluts all of em.

  278. Mr. Pink says:

    Your parents failed at their job. They raised sponging leeches who derive their value from others. They have no pride in their own accomplishments because they have none, they can only sponge off the success or failure of others in order to feel needed or worthwhile for a short time.

    Nishi’s plea: From the serial Eugenicist who thought that Trig Palin would represent a “bad photo opportunity” for the campaign. An elitist snob squawking about Bell curves and IQ’s for the top 10% who can’t spell and who’s idea of a coherent argument is to repeat the same talking poitns over and over and over and…

    If there is a more concrete example that [premier educations and IQ points do not necessarily translate into common sense political leadership then, at the very least, kate can take her place with Chris Buckley, Turner, Noonan, Will and Brooks as the effete nose sniffing blue bloods who think that style is as important as substance.

    Somewhere Ronald Reagan weeps for the condition of his party and for the blue blood merciless morphing of conservatism and Classical Liberalism.

    Nah, you’re just an inflatable dick.

    America is great country where I earn citizenship according to Constitution and love of America. Also natural born American’s mothers are whores. I love and hate America at same time. It is Russian way.

    SarahW is a class act. Me I think if you wanted to protect the little fetuses then it’s pretty clear thems what wanted that were doing it wrong. Game over, little fetuses. There’s a new sheriff in town.

    …at the very least, kate can take her place with Chris Buckley, Turner, Noonan, Will and Brooks as the effete nose sniffing blue bloods who think that style is as important as substance.

    That crowd would react to Kate as though you’d just served them a shit filet with plague sauce. But then, she gets that a lot.

  285. Pablo & Clyde says:

    An AQ female teen suicide bomber in Baghdad just celebrated BarryO!’s election, al Qaeda is already issuing demands on BarryO!, Iran is saberrattling in his general direction …

    And let’s not forget Putin’s little “Welcome aboard”.

  286. BJTexs says:

    As long as we’re clear that while kate makes her vacuous little pleas for Jeff to kowtow to her merciless, life hating doctrine that she doesn’t gave a crap about anyone not in her “tribe” and that genetically damaged babies really shouldn’t be born (although one has the right to choose) because they mess up the Bell Curve and dilute the gene pool.

    In other words a post modern semi geek little Nazi.

  287. Rob Crawford says:

    Oh, so “pomocon” is really just a way to say Nazi.

  288. Carin says:

    assion Sarah Palin showed during campaign speeches that promised saddling the U.S. taxpayer with cradle to grave financial responsibility for special needs children.

    Yes, i’m sure most taxpayers would much prefer providing cradle-to-grave financial responsibility for those who simply prefer not to work, than those with a disability. Keep talking, thor, it’s so revealing.

  289. ThomasD says:

    And this thing about the gas and “bitches.” I’m still kind of at a loss on that one. Could we please, Please, PLEASE get back to some nice, friendly internecine uber-blogger hair-pulling and gnad kicking? Is that really too much to ask?

    Hi new guy! The best advice I can give you is, deal with it as best you can. Unfortunately there is no Wiki type resource here. Not that there ever could be, a state of flux being what it is. You will likely find multiple narrative arcs within any given thread, and a lot of recurrent themes, memes, and the assorted paradigm shift. There are regulars, irregulars, guest posters, former guest posters, trolls, former trolls, and some truly unsavory types to be found here.

  299. thoriggenstein says:

    The truth is the government will have to exert control over the banks to force their intended investments to work for the people. The banks are afloat on the people’s money, after all.

    First thing the gov’t should do is set a national cap in credit card interest rates and force the banks to write off all the bad consumer debt and forgo the legal warfare against the same citizens who they are indebted to. The miscalculating bastards owe us, and not the other way around.

  300. Rob Crawford says:

    Yep. Pretty damned desperate.

  302. N. O'Brain says:

    Thief.

  303. Sdferr says:

    Insults dave? It is demonstrative, is it not, that you can’t distinguish a normative description from an insult? But that is what you do so reassuringly, after all. Carry on. Maybe think about carrying on somewhere else though, as I’m sure you are aware that the site host doesn’t want you here and has stated as much many times. So to the descriptor moron, we might begin justly adding, trespasser. Thus we’ll have you, dave the moronic trespasser. How’s that?

    Are cries of “go away, it’s our treehouse!” all you can come up with?

    Something inspirational about a particular someone driven to madness. That grimey someone feels himself quite above everyone else, for it fills the void of lack of control in his empty incomplete life. He really gets emotional on what isn’t even his territory. He’s the waxy buttcheese, the stray pube, the greasy weasel dropping, the tucked tail attached to a stinking rump, the contorted face of the snaggle-toothed hayseed.

    Don’t have kids, thorputz. Aside from the benefits accruing in dependent tax savings and a cleaner gene pool, much of what you’ve been saying, if discovered one day on these pages, would inflict upon any passing thorputz progeny an irrecoverable depression. Yeah, seriously.

    Jeff, a good example? Heheh. I think he’s a great example, but then I’m not conservative, too much of an iconoclast.
