I’ll never pooh-pooh that argument again.

Hey, you know what’s really hateful, though?

I made a frowny face, scrunched my eyes really tight, and channeled Mothra to beam a wave of high energy into Palin’s house of worship.
Goddamn and it worked!
It would have been funnier if people had died.
Let’s not jump to conclusions, Dan, maybe it was an unavoidable consequence of last nights exorcism.
All I mean is, speaking as a sociopath.
HMMM. where was thorazine that night? He seems to have a permanent hardon for the woman.
Now, there will be no jumping to conclusions. Shit, if they’d found Tiny Fey fleeing from the scene with matches and lighter fluid they’d still be careful before they said this was politically motivated.
You’re only a sociopath in humor.
Say, speaking of sociopaths, I wonder what’s happening in Russia? Edward Limonov’s narratives have a sociopathic charm, don’t you think, and he is, much like Sarah Palin, a political hero within an angry subset. In His Butler’s Story Edward illuminates the difference in a ___, a ____, and a vagina with electric comedic effect. I must have loaned the book out to someone-I-don’t-know-who because it’s not in my eclectic library at the moment. I’d quote the passage for the sake of lifting our sociopathic gaiety with one of Edward’s most profound genitalia kneeslappers but I can’t find that particular heathen text!
Tina. Whatever bitches.
I think it would be supremely satisfying if all of Sarah’s fans sent a dollar to her church for a rebuild. There would be enough left over to keep the church a perpetual thorn in some arsonist’s side.
I don’t think $5 would buy much.
“I don’t think $5 would buy much.”
Some clued-in pagan god you are.
Cordially…
It would have, of course, been ok if Spector was a Polish comic. Then the humor would have been authentic.
On the Palin thing: I’ve been saying for some time that the left has been lurching toward violence, and this looks to be likely another trial run at “revolutionary” tactics. But no, I don’t know that for a fact…yet.
Alright, Rusty, that was an image, we didn’t need, specially this early in the morning. Thor, by the way f@#% yourself, if that’s anatomically possible. It’s a strange world
where someone who tried to kill Americans at home, presumably to help out the enemy gets
the red carpet treatment, and is vouched for
by none other than the President Elect and one who called attention to that fact, is vilified; like Goldstein to use the trend 1984 analogy.
The sad thing about the trolls here is that they can never say that something is wrong without first making sure who is connected to that thing.
Thor is a genuinely shitty person. Period. A person who deserves constant ass whippings. Just because he’s that shitty.
thor really must try to suck this bad. He really, really SUCKS.
thor, thor, thor. You know, I used to think thor just had some sort of schtick goin’ on, he seemed that transparent in his ridiculous comments. I was kinda surprised Karl got so upset; thor, I thought, was risibly silly in his “RACIST!!!” slurs. But, you know, thor has continued in his “in your face” childishness for such a long time…and then I thought, “OMG, he’s that guy! The one who, at the party, just salivates at the possibility of being as offensive and contrary as possible, because it’s the only way he can have any fun! He doesn’t really care about his targets, and he won’t respect his host–he just thinks it’s brilliant of himself to get into people’s faces and be obnoxious! If he sees a group of women, he starts talking about how funny or literate an act of rape is! If he sees a group of men, he starts taunting them about their gayness or inability to get the ladies! If he sees a chick wearing a cross, he gets right up into her grill about how stupid she is. If he sees a guy who looks kinda disgusted with him–well, thor just takes that as a challenge. LOOK AT ME! I’M WILD! I’M A REBEL! I’M AS COOL AS MARLON BRANDO! Let me tell you how wild it is to get a stick of butter and wave it in some bitch’s face and watch her get offended! I’m OUT OF CONTROL, you squares! I’m Ric Ocasek and Pia Zadora all wrapped up in one delicious ooze of REBELLION!”
Man, his act is tired.
Arrested adolesence and malignant narcissism wrapped up into one package, ushie.
Which is why he is utterly ignorable.
And add ‘without any real power and influence in real life’, which explains why he comes onto the internet to do his act.
Evidently–from reading the comments to your second link–only republicans make lame ethnic jokes.
Who knew?
Yeah, Mikey NTH, I’m thinkin’ if he was really all that, he’d be too rich to bother with us’ns.
I think Joe Biden had a pretty good idea.
because it’s the only way he can have any fun!
It’s the only way he can participate, Ushie. He doesn’t have the chops to do anything constructive, all he can do is tear down. He is the classic failed poet, note that they are always in love with obscure, second rate, foreign language authors. Nobody else has bothered to read them so their expertise goes largely unquestioned. He brags about using shitty music to fuck stupid chicks, because he is incapable of relating to emotionally mature adults, especially if they are even remotely intelligent.
Sad little lonely boy, just smart enough to know that he isn’t quite smart enough.
Um, I doubt very seriously that he is going to get in any man’s face with anything.
Oh, ugh, yeah, B Moe, I jsut read where he uses Feist’s music to con dumb chicks into bed like that’s evidence of his own brilliance.
Shudder.
he is going to get in any man’s face with anything.
Except maybe his nuts. In his secret fantasies.
#25 ushie:
Arrested adolesence, malignant narcissism. His conquests are important, even if they are the drunk chick at the bar or a stream of inults on a blog. They are all he has.
Me? I’ve won arguments at the Michigan Court of Appeals, and I think this is the first time I’ve mentioned that because it really isn’t relevant to anything here – including this thread.
The arson at the church could be anything – local dorks, insurance scam, nutty parishoner – anything. The likliehood that it was politically motivated is slim based on prior arson investigation of church fires. The fire marshall’s investigation will provide more light.
Mikey NTH: you think he tells as many people as possible the next day that he nailed this or that drunk chick? Wouldnot put it past him.
ushie, when he first excreted himself onto this site, he was bragging about hiring destitute Russian teenagers in Moscow and using them as “slaves” (his term) for housework and sexual favors.
So, yeah, I’d say.
#28 ushie:
Anything to prop up an ego without actual accomplishment. He bragged about getting a ride in the back-seat of a jet trainer. Most people would refer to that as a good story, a lot of fun. He took it to how Russian pilots and fighter doctrine were so superior to anyone else’s.
I’ve taken a date on a little cruise that the USCGC Bristol Bay and its ATON barge did up the Detroit River and out into Lake Ste. Clair. A nice little trip at sunset on a summer’s day. It was fun, and a nice gift from the Coast Guard regulars to the auxiliary, but it doesn’t go any further than that. It certainly doesn’t give any insight into icebreaking operations.
I think I’ve changed my mid – he isn’t so much as a mayfly, he is a lamprey.
Thanks, Dan………..
I jsut read where he uses Feist’s music to con dumb chicks into bed like that’s evidence of his own brilliance.
I think that explains his fixation on Larry Craig, he is fascinated by it. Glory Hole sex would be the next step, after all.
Lamprey…yup, they’re ugly as sin, too.
And destitute Russaan teenagers as sex slaves? Calling Gary Heidnik, Mr. Heidnik, please answer thor’s courtesy phone.
Sure, a fire at the Wasilla Bible Church might have been set by anyone for any number of reasons. Now, if there was arson at Trinity UCC, we’d know the motive instantly. Anyone else recall the moral panic of a few years back about black churches being torched?
I guess, in my mind, the difference between other church burnings in the past and this church burning is that this specific church was Palin’s and involved in a program that isn’t popular with gays. Either, or both, of those factors make it more likely it was political. I’m not a huge believer in coinicidence, but acknowledge that it happens and that I may be wrong…maybe politics is the furthest thing from the motive. But admit it, it’d be a big coincidence.
I don’t presume to tell Jeff how to run his blog, but I’d have banned the lot of them ages ago. It isn’t a matter of “repression of Teh TRUTH!!! wingnuts”, but simple matter of keeping the threads operating.
Take a look at the [Sympathy for the Blago] post. Then look back over the threads from the last few weeks. Parsnip (whom we already know is a previously banned troll, makes me wonder what Alphie did to finally get the B& hammer), thor, and to a lesser extent, ‘Cleo, contribute NOTHING to the discussion and try everything in their power to derail any discussion on the topics at hand.
Karl had enough of it eventually, and there are probably quality posters that will give up after a while. Do we keep them around and risk stuff like that further?
No, Techie.
There can be good reasons for banning, and our dear root vegetable (what’s it all about?) probably meets most of the criteria, but it isn’t a solution. For one thing, there are 2 to the 32nd power IPs out there, and will soon be two to the 48th. Bans aren’t effective when it’s so easy to change the basis of identification.
But the main thing is — the bully wants the lunch money, sure, but it isn’t the point. What the bully wants is to force you to give him the lunch money. You see the same effect in vandals, who proceed from the same assumption. They can smash it; they are therefore more powerful than you are, because you have to build it and can’t protect it.
The only effective response to bullies, vandals, and other thugs is defiance. The main thing with thor and Semanticleo is don’t let them change the subject. When they holler “Look! Over there!” don’t look. Turn and face them, and sneer when they fumble the knife they intended for your back.
The reason thor, especially, keeps coming back is that he’s successful. He can always derail the debate, so that instead of whatever the putative subject may be, the discussion is about him, as his ego requires. Sematicleo and alphie specialize in non sequitur, depending on outrage to satisfy their self-images. Stay on topic and don’t let them egg you into personal insults, sneer at the personal insults they always descend to, and go on.
Regards,
Ric
In the thread of Ric’s comment, BACK ON TOPIC.
Wow. Only Republicans enjoy racist humor? So I’m to assume that the writers of Family Guy secretly slip in all the racist jabs to keep Rethuglicans watching despite their overall anti-gov’t/progressive message?
Me, I just like Stewie…
#35
Kinda makes ya believe he bought his third wife, (what does that tell ya), from a catalog of available Russian women willing to do ANYTHING to get to America.
I swung by to see how things are going at PW, and, well, I’m not surprised.
Ric, do you actually think that thread was successful? What was it, 500 comments? Endless repetition of the same question — and the idiots never answered it. Oh, they didn’t “derail” the thread, though. No, just got you guys to run around in circles, chasing your tails. It was the old joke definition of insanity — doing the same thing, over and over, expecting a different result.
Ignoring the trolls doesn’t work. Facing them down doesn’t work — they have nothing to fear — and their very presence is enough to destroy any attempts at conversation.
The trolls won. Knock yourselves out trying to convince yourselves otherwise, but the trolls won.
