Inside the Mind of a Left-Wing Tuber [Dan Collins]

Every once in a while, a troll says something so breathtakingly lapidary in its stupidity, that it’s worth posting. At issue was the lack of party affiliation markers in articles about Portland Mayor Sam Adams’s sexual relations with an 18-year-old boy, which he lied about:

Comment by parsnip on 1/26 @ 12:43 pm #

Should the press right, say, David Petraeus, the Republican leader of military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan?

Or Clarence Thomas, noted Republican member of the Supreme Court?

If a person holds a non-partisan office, the press doesn’t report their party affiliation.

[Major] John, you may try to hide the fact that you are a right wing extremist if you want to continue getting government bucks is what I’m saying.

Don’t ask don’t tell doesn’t apply to fanatics.

Congratulations, root fascist! You’ve earned your own post!

  1. Bob Reed says:

    This is simply a variation on the same tired semantics game…

    Of course the mayor is partisan; he ran as the nominee of a political party-and it wasn’t an independant…

    Reductio ad absurdum…

  2. BJTexs says:

    Oh Bob and Dan: The mayor of Portland is non-partisan because everybody in Portland is a Democrat.

    Silly rabbits!

  3. Dan Collins says:

    What makes it special, Bob, is the threat.

  4. Defenseman Emeritus says:

    Even parsnip’s examples are wrong. I don’t think I’ve ever seen Clarence Thomas mentioned by the mainstream media without them calling him “conservative Justice Clarence Thomas.” Not a party affiliation per se, but serves the same purpose.

  5. Spies, Brigands, and Pirates says:

    I think nipply just crossed the line into Lamb Cannon territory.

  6. BJTexs says:

    Not to mention the fact, DE, that none of the people mentioned were accused of lying about a sexual affair with a teen aged boy.

    But those facts: They are inconvenient don’cha know!

  7. Sdferr says:

    I’m not at all certain that Gen. Petraeus is a Republican. In fact, I’d be inclined to bet he isn’t.

  8. bill says:

    For that matter I don’t recall seeing Ruth Buzzi Ginsberg listed as Communist member of the SCOTUS or ex pres. Bubba Clinton listed as the candidate of the Hillbilly Horndog party or his wife listed as Lesbian Avenger party Secretary of State and so forth. So what’s the point, Parsnip?

  9. Rob Crawford says:

    Doesn’t matter, Sdferr — he came to prominence under the Demon Bush’s reign, so is forever tainted.

  10. alppuccino says:

    If you say that parsnip’s stupidity is bad, won’t it just create more parsnip stupidity?

  11. Rob Crawford says:

    So what’s the point, Parsnip?

    Snippy’s point is that if MAJ John keeps making snippy look the fool, snippy’s gonna go after MAJ John personally.

  12. MAJ (P) John says:

    #11 – I’m not particularly worried.

  13. Rob Crawford says:

    I didn’t think you were. I think it says a lot about snippy, his mindset, and how he thinks the world works that he’d even say something like that.

  14. BJTexs says:

    Well, Rob, alphie/monkeyboi/Neville Chamberlain has a history of wishing Major John ill, as he did on Jules’ blog a while back. That’s why he’s been banned multiple times from multiple blogs.

  15. SarahW says:

    Oh, parnsip is nuts. I thought you knew.

  16. Bob Reed says:

    B-B-But Dan! Obama is post-partisan and is all about Unity!, Tolerance!, and Diversity!, and so are all of his followers; united in the simple single-minded fantasy goal that is! hope-n-changiness…

    They wouldn’t threaten anybody, would they?

    Anyone that would do so must not luvs them no Obama…

    I wonder what the penalty is for leftist that defy the prime sublime directive is; ones who defy the age of O!-quarius paradigm..?

    It might leave a mark…Just sayin’

    MAJ, I find alfie’s attacks personally offensive.

  18. Darleen says:

    veggie of pallor is just resume building for the OFA. He’s gonna show ’em that any gubmint drone had better know what side of the bread contains the ‘bama butter. p

    I mean, since The One’s election, Dems have been quick to do what they’ve always accused Republicans of … calling people who disagree with them “unpatriotic” or “un-American.”

  19. BJTexs says:

    The tuber is a post-hole partisan.

  20. Sdferr says:

    Just a niggling nitpick — the crap that issues forth from this lying moron is actually “outside” the mind of a left-wing tuber. It puts this shit out into the public discourse, to be more obvious about the nit. What the fuck is actually “inside” the mind of a left-wing tuber, if mind you wish to call it, ought best remain there out of view of everyone else.

  21. SarahW says:

    No, really, he’s nuts.

    NOWLEDGE!!!!!!

  24. Bob Reed says:

    Darleen,
    That’s a feature, not a bug, of being a Democrat; projection I mean…

    I remember in the Republicans had contol of both houses in Congress. National level Dems like AL Gore, Chris Dodd, and Teddy the K immediately went to the media, bemoaning the fact that they were cartain! that the RethugliKKKans were going to use the traditional rules of those bodies to completely disenfranchise the Democrats…

    Of course, the leaders of both those bodies went out of their way to ensure them that it would not be the case; even though the Democrats had done the same thing, and enjoyed being able to ram pet legislation through, or deny any floor vote, for the prior half century. In a manner very similar to what they are doing now…

    They wriung their hands at the prospect of being treated the way they had done to others, and when the Republican leader were magnanimous, the Democrats repaid them with obstructionism…

    That’s why I say oppose them!, but do it on principled grounds. Because that’s the kind of behavior the Democrats would never be able to understand, let alone project, on others…

  25. Sdferr says:

    Tit for tat, Bob Reed.

  26. Sdferr says:

    Barack Obama’s administration may be promising the “greatest ethical standard ever administered to an executive branch,” and increased transparency over his predecessor, but it seems to be forgoing at least one transparency practice that was routine in the Bush White House— transcripts of the daily press briefing.

    It’s been four days since Press Secretary Robert Gibbs’ first (and widely panned) appearance before the White House press corps, but no transcript, summary, or video of the event has shown up on WhiteHouse.gov. The delay could be forgiven in a less tech-savvy bunch, but given the Obama team’s considerable online skill, the omission of the the transcript is clearly intentional.

    In contrast, the Bush White House provided a transcript of every daily briefing, searchable and accessible in its own section on their web site. The archive, available via the Wayback Machine but not on the new WhiteHouse.gov, started Jan. 24, 2001. The Clinton White House also provided transcripts of the briefing, according to archives, at least as early as 1999.

    The decision to withhold transcripts is not a departure from the Obama Team’s online posture during the campaign, and signals that’s exactly the posture they intend to take for the next four years. Team Obama got a lot of credit for being an active online presence, which indeed it was, but that presence was built for message control, not openness. MKH at WeeklyStandardBlog

  27. geoffb says:

    “say, David Petraeus, the Republican… Or Clarence Thomas, noted Republican “

    They mention Republican when what the person did, or it is alleged they did, can, they hope, hurt the Republican Party.

    They mention Democrat when what the person did, or it is alleged they did, can help the Democrats.

    The dog that doesn’t bark is just as informative as the one that does. The media by this proclaim their Party loyalty.

  28. Topsecretk9 says:

    Sort of tangentially related but I remember when some official was arrested at HLS for soliciting what he thought was a teenage girl and all the leftards went nuts because they assumed he was a republican (because of the political hires ahem) anyways turned out the dirty old guy was a registered democrat who had given generously to dems. Had they identified him correctly so many dems wouldn’t have had to eat all their kneejerk words. It was pretty funny, they just pretended they never said what they said as if a dem pervert is the norm and/or celebrated.

  29. Spies, Brigands, and Pirates says:

    that presence was built for message control fundraising, not openness

    Fixed it. :-)

  30. Bob Reed says:

    I saw that Sdferr; I think you provided the link in another thread here recently…

    But I’m not holding my breath for the one! to have any real intellectual diverity on his bioethics council; he’s shown already that he doesn’t actually brook much dissent-only enough to showcase in the press…

    I did like the MKH piece you provided; she hits it right in the head when mentioning that there internet savvy image was really only designed for message control and not openness…

    He’s Obama’s General now, so he must be a Democrat.

  34. B Moe says:

    I do kind of wish tuber would give us some hint as to his occupation or hobbies, so someone could try to post on a subject one which there is a chance he isn’t blazingly ignorant. A slim chance, sure, but it seems only fair.

  35. MAJ (P) John says:

    I dunno – GEN Petreaus did make some fairly good, self-depreciating jokes to my unit [back in Feb 2008] about appearing in front of Congress (and Hillary in particular). He may be turned off of politics entirely.

  36. Sdferr says:

    I would guess he’s unregistered or registered as an independent. It seems like the prudent thing to do and if I’ve seen anyone that reeks of prudence in the public sphere in the last twenty years, he’s the man.

  37. Sdferr says:

    Reeks isn’t the right word, but you know what I mean. Loudly bespeaks, may be better.

    Uh…nosepicking?

  39. Rob Crawford says:

    Snippy won’t ever state anything about his profession, hobbies, or real surroundings because he’s sure he’d face a flurry of complaints to employers, law-enforcement, social services, etc.

    It’s what he’d do to anyone who acts one quarter as asinine as he does, after all.

    From wikipedia:

    “Adams began his career in politics as a staffer on Peter DeFazio’s 1986 campaign for the U.S. House of Representatives in Oregon’s 4th district.[6] DeFazio won the race and still serves to this day.

    In 1987, Adams went to work for the Oregon House Democratic Campaign Committee and for then Democratic Majority Leader Carl Hosticka.[7]

    He next worked on Vera Katz’s mayoral campaign in Portland and served 11 years as her Chief of Staff.[8]”

  63. parsnip says:

    The Mayor of Portland is a non-partisan job, so the press doesn’t cite his political affiliation when they mention him.

    Is that simple enough so that even you and Darleen can understand?

    “So non-partisan, a reactionary Leftist Democrat could do it”.

  69. parsnip says:

    I think Darleen’s post reinforces what Matt Yglesias said about why right wing media outlets will never replace the dreaded “MSM,” it simply lacks the human capital to do the job.

  70. Slartibartfast says:

    What is a “non-partisan job”, anyway? If you snuck up on one, could you put wax on its tail?

  71. B Moe, you should watch this. I ran across it last week and keep finding myself muttering “Kitteh! no!” at random.

  72. Dan Collins says:

    It says on his site that Portland is a Progressive Community.

    This is a list of suggested papers and articles on government and media linked from his site.

    Has worked as a “Precinct Person” for Democratic Party

  73. parsnip says:

    Dan,

    I’m pretty sure we can all guess which party Mayor Adams belongs to, but that doesn’t change the fact that he is currently in a non-Partisan position.

    Wasn’t Reagan a “precinct person” for the Democratic Party, too?

    Now you see why the press doesn’t label politicians in the news unless they ran for their current office with a little (D) or (R) next to their name.

  74. Bob Reed says:

    The worth of the human capital in the MSM is deflating rapidly…

    At an exponential rate that is less than zero, expressed in large integers, and the absolute value of which is proportional to the number of days O! has been in office…

  75. B Moe says:

    Do you guys really expect a trained, professional journalist with trained, professional editorial oversight to be as thorough as you all are?

  76. Techie says:

    Depends, are they a licensed journalist?

    Cause, I demand credentials.

  78. Darleen says:

    Veggie of pallor

    a non-partisan JOB doesn’t mean the person holding it was not/is not a partisan.

  79. Darleen says:

    veggie

    Ronald Reagan was a Democrat before he switched parties in (IIRC) 1963.

    and if you don’t think Mayor Adams received partisan cast votes based on his past/current political affiliations or partisan endorsements, then you are only fooling yourself.

    #35 Maj. John:

    I think the subject of this post still thinks that most people become officers with the intent of making a politcal career. I think that style went out of fashion (for the most part) with the turn of the Nineteenth century. It gets in the way of professionalism, and was actively discouraged, and discouraged through less active means by the officers themselves.

    IIRC, in Nimitz’s biography the Sampson-Schley controversy was remembered in the navy long after the actors were long gone, and the navy command was very against that sort of thing – or any kind of politcal promotion/activism. Nimitz was very against it, and IIRC, so was Admiral King – King had to be ordered to talk to the press and give interviews.

    Douglas MacArthur was considered an anchronism in that way, and would have been in a world of trouble if he had not been (a) politcally connected, and (b) talented. In fact, that sort of thing was why Truman fired him.

    Of course, if the subject of this post is correct, then unless a person is elected to a partisan-identified office can that person be a politcal partisan of any kind, or affiliated in any way with a political party.

    I am glad that has been cleared up.

  95. Ric Locke says:

    #44 JHoward, you mistake me, quite.

    monkyboy is incapable of thinking about such subjects because data on those subjects never reaches the portion of his brain that “thinks”.

    He is thoroughly armored with an impenetrable shield of presumption, stereotype, and bigotry. That is a somewhat-active construct; when a piece of data arrives there, it may or may not excite the construct to deliver a stereotypical message to monkyboy’s cerebral processes. If it does, he will respond to the stereotype and not to the impinging data, which never pierces the construct. If it does not excite a response, it is simply absorbed without response.

    “Smart” or “stupid” is irrelevant. He does in fact make moderately intelligent judgements based on the construct, and not on anything that actually happens, which he perceives at second hand if at all.

    Ric

  97. Squid says:

    I’m betting that the albino carrot lives in a precinct with its own share of pedophilic politicians of unimportant affiliation, and that he’s been instructed (much like the object of the previously-named- yet-oh-so-apolitical politician’s affections) to do his part at making such behavior socially acceptable, at least so long as the unnamed-and-unimportant affiliation is of the sort that adheres to the proper orthodoxy (to wit, that buggering barely-legal interns is simply peachy). Why he’s been chosen for such a role is left as an exercise for the reader.

    It’s just speculation, but you gotta admit it makes as much sense as anything else.

    This is priceless…. via Drudge..

    Al Gore is scheduled before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Wednesday morning to once again testify on the ‘urgent need’ to combat global warming.

    But Mother Nature seems ready to freeze the proceedings.

    A ‘Winter Storm Watch’ has been posted for the nation’s capitol and there is a potential for significant snow… sleet… or ice accumulations.

    “I can’t imagine the Democrats would want to showcase Mr. Gore and his new findings on global warming as a winter storm rages outside,” a Republican lawmaker emailed the DRUDGE REPORT. “And if the ice really piles up, it will not be safe to travel.”

    A spokesman for Sen. John Kerry, who chairs the committee, was not immediately available to comment on contingency plans.

    Global warming advocates have suggested this year’s wild winter spells are proof of climate change.

    OMG.. can we get that ice sculpture down to DC in time?

    Al Gore is a fraud and also he hates America even more than John Kerry does. I’m uncomfortable with him speaking to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. It shakes my confidence in their work.

    Curmudgeon,

    Are you saying the sexual antics of Rep. Dan Crane (R-IL) and Rep. Gerry Studds (D-MA) back in 1983didn’t get any press coverage?

  105. happyfeet says:

    You’re just mad cause your company blocks YouTube and you can’t watch your Matt and Kim video.

    oh wait. That would be me. Sorry.

  109. Lt. York says:

    Do you want to know why parsnip is the way he/she is? Do you want to understand the self-hatred, and the hatred of those who advocate smaller government?

    Here it is, from a cat owner: Parsnip grooms cats. Cats groom themselves.

    Parsnip feels useless.

    No wonder parsnip is such a fan of the government; without its largess in all its forms, parsnip would starve.

    No, he’s saying that you are a retarded marmoset.

    Why are you defending a pedophile, rm?

    You see, hor boy is insane and really thinks that changing his name will disguise the sickness in his soul.

    Sorta like a cat covering up on a linoleum floor.

  115. Rob Crawford says:

    C’mon, folks, don’t let snippy distract you with the “he’s non-partisan!” red herring! The real issue is the threat in his comment!

  116. Dan Collins says:

    Thanks, Rob. Perhaps I should have highlighted that more.

  117. I’m a non-partisan…BECAUSE I SAID SO!

  118. Dan Collins says:

    Once we’ve driven all the Reich-Wingers out of military service, we will finally have a Grand Army worthy of the New Rethuglic.

  119. Sdferr says:

    I’m afraid the threat as such — or perhaps better — such as it is, doesn’t make any sense to me.

    On the other hand, that it was issued does make a certain sort of sense, given the past and present behaviors alphie’s shown here and elsewhere. So what’s new, I wonder?

    IIRC, Studds came back to congres to recieve an ovation from his Dem colleagues.

  123. Big D says:

    Remember Mike Tyson in his heyday, when he would beat the snot out of his opponents and finish the fight early in the first round? Something tells me that would be the outcome if Maj John ever met parsnip.

  124. Mikey NTH says:

    Well, Rob, the threat was pretty non-existent from the start. That person – that commenter – having any influence with officer promotions, or any influence within the DoD or the State of Illinois national Guard?

    The lack of attention to that, and the attention to the other, is an indication of how influential the subject of this post is considered.

    From Hitchhikers:

    “Some factual information for you. Have you any idea how much damage that bulldozer would suffer if I just let it roll straight over you?”
    “How much?” said Arthur.
    “None at all,” said Mr Prosser.

    That’s how much damage I expect the subject of this post to be able to inflict on Maj. John: None at all.

  125. Jim in KC says:

    Parsnip’s comment reads less to me like an actual threat than like advice from someone woefully unequipped to give it.

    I wouldn’t let him fix my toilet, either.

  126. Dan Collins says:

    Mayor Sam Adams: Do I make you horny?
    Beau Breedlove: A little.
    Mayor Sam Adams: Bend over.

  127. JHoward says:

    same

  128. happyfeet says:

    What was Beau thinking exactly? This is that Sam Adams person. Now I’m pretty sure money was involved somehow.

  129. Big D says:

    meya,

    If you wish to make the point that Foley’s conduct was creepy and unacceptable, I yield it to you. In fact you will have a very hard time finding anyone here that defended either him or Larry Craig. That, however is not the point of this post.

    Now Dan, you’re simply speculating there. Could have been:

    Mayor Sam Adams: Do I make you horny?
    Beau Breedlove: A little.
    Mayor Sam Adams: Suck this.

  133. happyfeet says:

    This is Beau. He has, um, nice teeth… What aren’t particularly safe for work.

  134. Dan Collins says:

    He reminds me of Bernie Birnbaum.

  135. happyfeet says:

    oh. I found out today our little blocking system has a category for “weapons.” No idea. It was something Mr. Reynolds linked.

  136. Mikey NTH says:

    Or:
    Heterosexual male mayor to femal intern:

    Mayor: Do I make you horny?
    Intern: A little.
    Mayor: Cool. Let’s wait to your eighteenth birthday to actually have sex.

    Problem? What problem? There is no problem. There is no abuse of an employer-employee realtionship. There is no exploitation going on. Get back to your caves, you prudes. Ignore those state statutes on sexual harrassment, ignore those federal statutes.

    Just embrace the double standard, political and sexual.

  137. Spies, Brigands, and Pirates says:

    Well, Rob, the threat was pretty non-existent from the start.

    I don’t see that as relevant.

    The fact that the target of Nipply’s little fascist threat isn’t particularly vulnerable doesn’t excuse him making it.

  138. kelly says:

    Congratulations, root fascist! You’ve earned your own post!

    So listen up all you PW denizens! You, too, can earn your own post. Just continually show up not unlike a herpes lesion in the comments, insult some regulars, fearlessly brandish your astonishing ignorance, and defend gay predators. Use lots of tu quoque and ad hominem in your “arguments,” generally hijack threads, and behave like an asinine prick. Insulting Republicans and thinking that means all that much to everyone else is de rigueur.

    So what are you waiting for? Hop to it!

  139. B Moe says:

    The real issue is the threat in his comment!

    I suppose. Tuberhead threatening Major John is like him calling Mark Steyn an idiot, though, I can stop giggling long enough to try to respond.

  140. Rob Crawford says:

    oh. I found out today our little blocking system has a category for “weapons.” No idea. It was something Mr. Reynolds linked.

    I don’t think I’ve ever tripped that category at work. However, there’s a team outing this week to a shooting range, and we’ve been informed that we’re not allowed to have firearms on company property — even if they’re locked in your trunk, out of sight, and never, ever get near the building.

    I guess they’re serious about the “free fire zone” signs they’ve posted around the building.

    Yeah, look at what happened in that unfortunate Little Debbie/Pillsbury Doughboy relationship.

  146. JHoward says:

    Come on, meya, tell us how that nutty bastard Jefferson intended central banking and the fiat dollar.

  147. meya says:

    “I just didn’t want you to get a yeast infection,”

    What?

    “Come on, meya, tell us how that nutty bastard Jefferson intended central banking and the fiat dollar.”

    Of course not! That fop compared it to the evil of….slavery.

    At least I gradumated from high school, B Moe.

    It’s called “mainstreaming”.

    Who is really named Beau Breedlove? It sounds like a nom de porn.

  153. Rob Crawford says:

    But, you know, at least they didn’t give Beau Breedlove a press pass and let him ask questions during press conferences.

  154. Dan Collins says:

    Obama keeps a list of those he will call upon, I hear. I don’t think he’d call on anyone with that name.

    This may come as a shock to you, but some of us have mastered the ability to further our education outside of the classroom. It is like magic.

  157. Andrew the Noisy says:

    Snippy, your threat to the good Major was well-played indeed. No Corleone capo could ask for better work.

    I’m beginning to think your “cat-grooming” operation is a front.

    Yeah, last place I worked wouldn’t let me get to Browning’s site to get a manual for my shotgun, but they were perfectly happy for me to surf the Communist Part USA website all day long.

    No one will be surprised to find out these stupid assholes are headquartered in Boston.

  159. Slartibartfast says:

    O’Brain, “mainstreaming” doesn’t seem to mean what you think it means. In general.

    Hint: I have a daughter that’s been mainstreamed, and she has no intellectual impairment at all.

  160. otcconan says:

    “A ‘Winter Storm Watch’ has been posted for the nation’s capitol and there is a potential for significant snow… sleet… or ice accumulations.”

    I didn’t know that a Storm Watch had been posted for one building. Bad grammar, there. “Capitol” with an “O” only refers to the building. “Capital” with an “A” refers to the city.

  161. ushie says:

    Are you fucking kidding me? I missed a post in RT that showed parsnip doing the FUll Bozo with a Clarabelle hockey stop, Koko one-foot glide, Krusty Arabian Cartwheel, Chuckles Dutch Waltz, and finishing with a sadass Yorick Death Spiral?
