A whimsical gloss

On the previous post.

Sometimes I wonder if those who profess “alarm” at the hateyness coming from the bipartisan tea party movement (who they’ve taken to characterizing as “the far right”) are equally alarmed by demonstrably illiberal attempts to shut down such hateyness.

— Or is the shutting down of the “right wing” hateyness out of “earnest” hateyness of evil right wingers a good thing, given that the second hateyness is acting as a corrective to the first hateyness, and given that hating evil is not really hate hate, but rather an iteration of goodliness and righteousness? Because the hatred marshaled to silence “right wingers” is akin to being intolerant of intolerance?

And when I say, “sometimes I wonder,” I really don’t. I merely opened that way for rhetorical effect.

Just so’s you know.

    Some hateyness is better than other hateyness.

    They’re stopping the hateyness for the good of us all. They’re patriots, really.

    Oh, sure Jeff. And as we all know so well, blowjobs are not really sex either…

    Now that the Alinky-esque Obamites have successfully used America’s traditional inherent tolerance of actual diversity-the diversity of ideas-to tear down the system from within, that same tolerance they were afforded is, like, no longer necessary nor is it convenient.

    You know, along with the whole antiquated idea, and now inconvenience, of legislators suffering the will and consent of the governed…

  6. Bob Reed says:

    Oh yeah, Jeff, nishi is back on some other thread palavering about wondering why you aren’t for the rule of the majority anymore, now that the majority is the coalition of minorities and guilt-ridden progressive whiteys.

    It’s like when Luke totally has to flip his wig to beat Vader into submission but then he’s all like “Oh no! I’m becoming my father and this dude that looks like Cheney and Pope Wuzzanazi had a lovechild and so I’ve got to restrain the hate that let me beat my father, ’cause it’s used up its usefulness.”

    So you know, their hate is all Jedi n’ whatnot and thus, like, totally righteous.

  8. Jeff G. says:

    Heh.

    Be your hate, Luke.

  9. ThomasD says:

    Certain people do get it because they don’t want to get it. Nor are they willing to engage honestly or openly about what they might actually espouse.

    It’s all very SEK like lately.

    certain people don’t

    If I had the time, I’d go infiltrate me some OFA, then incite them to bust winders, then blame it all on them, and I’d totally not get arrested because they don’t bust leftists for violence anymore.

  13. ThomasD says:

    JD you betray your lack of true hateyness by your over the top all caps pseudo hateyness.

    True hateyness means total commitment to dishonesty.

  14. JD says:

    I AM A HATEY HATER SO STFU YOU EVIL TEABAGGER !!!!!!!!!

  15. Bob Reed says:

    True hateyness means total commitment to dishonesty.

    Imagine that line, as being delivered by the Yoda of hate…

    Just who would be the Yoda of hate anyway? “Cuz guys like AlGore, Wright, Frank, et al, are well accomplished in the dishonesty part, but far from Yoda-esque perfection.

  16. JD says:

    Yoda – Total commit to dishonesty, is true hateyness. Become the hateyness.

  17. McGehee says:

    “True hateyness means total commitment to dishonesty.”

    Imagine that line, as being delivered by the Yoda of hate…

    Yoda: “No. Think not. Feel. Or feel not. There is no think.”

    Which, I’m really not sure that line wouldn’t have worked perfectly in a Star Wars script.

  18. ThomasD says:

    In the script, or while writing the script?

    Duh. Anything you hate is by definition worth hating. If it wasn’t, you wouldn’t hate it.

    Q.E.D., muthafucka!

  20. Doug Stewart says:

    ThomasD, et al:
    If you’ve not seen Red Letter Media’s epic reviews of The Phantom Menace (7 part, 70 minutes) and Attack of the Clones (9 part, 90 minutes!), then you’ve no idea how true your statements as to the idiocy of Star Wars really are.

    Those reviews are crass, debased and definitely NSFW but are possibly the most well-written and insightful deconstructions of how George Lucas killed one of the best movie franchises ever. I look forward to his 150 minute review of Episode III.

  21. Andrew the Noisy says:

    I concur. Red Letter Media is pretty awesome. Confused Matthew’s bitch-slapping of the Matrix sequels is equally good, and has some fine javelins to toss into post-modernism’s fat ass as well.

  22. Mike LaRoche says:

    Avatar is in that same vein of lameness.

  23. McGehee says:

    In the script, or while writing the script?

    You have to ask?

  24. ThomasD says:

    My hateyness for what that coochie Lucas did to the series knows no bounds.

  25. Nishi the Kingslayer says:

    more i-know-you-are-but-what-am-i.
    Unless you can rise above the PeeWee Herman style of argumentation, you are still going to be royally, thoroughly, screwed for 40 years of elections.
    Read my lips…. ‘feets an i arent the ones you have to convince.
    these guys are.
    Puffy WHITE multichins like Breitbart, Beck, Erickericsson, Goldberg et al screaming I AM NOT A RACIST just isnt going to convince anyone but the inhabitants of the alternate reality/closed information loop that is the Republican Confederate Party.
    And you are not “bipartisan” you are all conservatives.
    Do you know the Balloon-juice lexicon definition of “conservative”?
    conservative– a repubulican trying ti scrape the bushcheney off their shoes when no one is looking.

  26. ThomasD says:

    You have to ask?

    Straight line. I was hoping someone would finish the thought.

  27. Doug Stewart says:

    @Mike:
    He skewered Avatar too, to GLORIOUS effect.

  28. Jeff G. says:

    I wonder if happy likes that Nishi is using him as a wedge here. He must be thinking, “but I was one what’s been on your side. Why you doin’ me like that?”

  29. Andrew the Noisy says:

    I love it when dumb honkies denounce screamery while ALL-CAPSing their way to enlightenment.

    It is to laugh.

  30. happyfeet says:

    nishi is nishi and me is me…

    I am not a wedgie.

    liberal: a Democrat trying to scrape the overflow Obama off their chins while no one is looking.

    ‘feets an i

    Why do you hate ‘feets, griefer?

  33. Jeff G. says:

    My progressive theology is a bit rusty. Which is higher in the kingdom of prog heaven, balloon juice or SNL?

  34. Puffy WHITE multichins like Breitbart, Beck, Erickericsson, Goldberg

    Racist AND anti-Semitic? Boy, that’s ugly.

  35. Silver Whistle says:

    It’s all about the Jeff daddy-love with the griefer. Daddy isn’t impressed, so the griefer stamps her feet and pouts. Then starts hanging out with the crazy kids, just to upset daddy. Kind of like Rebel Without A Clue.

  36. Jeff G. says:

    nishi is nishi and me is me…

    I think you should be telling her that.

    She keeps joining you two as over and against everyone here.

  37. happyfeet says:

    yes well I can’t help that and y’all know better

  38. Mike LaRoche says:

    more-i-know-you-are-but-what-am-i
    More lack of sentience from the nishbot. I love how she goes on and on about the permanent Dem majority. That little girl is in for a rude awakening this November.

  39. bh says:

    Remember, we’re to believe this was all caused by the stem cell debate. nishi is now hard left, everywhere and always, because of the stem cell debate.

    Go to the doctor, griefer. Get a scan. Your health is the most important thing.

    *** waves at griefer ***

  40. I am Nishi's Klan Kloset says:

    Joos? Don’t git mah started on Joos. They eat Arab children and then drink they blood lahk the vampires they is. Saw it on SNL, I did. I hollered “Ford save me!” and ducked fer cover.

    ‘Course, I knocked over mah imam, and he called me a crusadin’ sonofabitch, but I got over it with some meditatin’ and a bottle of 100-proof SoCo.

  41. Mike LaRoche says:

    Haha, that’s great Doug. Thanks!

  42. baxtrice says:

    With so much being labeled as “hatey” or “hatey like behaviour”, I’m waiting for the definitive work on how not to be hatey. Bets on NYTimes being the first to publish this?

  43. Alan Kellogg says:

    It’s a Poe. Or whatever you’d call it when religion really isn’t involved. the anti Tea Party movement is simply an expression of this simple truth: No statement concerning a social movement can be expressed in such an way as to make it an obvious joke to members of the Mainstream Media.

  44. Nishi the Kingslayer says:

    i think you should gulag ‘feets, Jeff.
    he is not adhering to the party line.

  45. yes well I can’t help that and y’all know better

    Do we? I hope so. I know I wouldn’t want to be associated with an antisemitic racist who has obvious anger issues.

  46. bh says:

    i think you should gulag ‘feets, Jeff.
    he is not adhering to the party line.

    Geez, ‘feets, the griefer really has it in for you. Kinda like a dirty socialist hoochie if you ask me.

  47. Jeff G. says:

    i think you should gulag ‘feets, Jeff.
    he is not adhering to the party line.

    Well, I guess it beats snuffing out his kind at birth.

  48. i think you should gulag ‘feets, Jeff.
    he is not adhering to the party line.

    See? The purity test. I can feel the anger.

  49. Jeff G. says:

    By the way, how Nishi has shown up and just taken over the thread, leaving ideas in her wake?

    Has me so hard right now.

  50. bh says:

    Ideas!

  51. Jeff G. says:

    yes well I can’t help that and y’all know better

    Kinda like we’re all joined to Team R’s fail no matter if we agree with them or not.

    I sense a pattern emerging…

  52. bh says:

    It’s all about the Jeff daddy-love with the griefer. Daddy isn’t impressed, so the griefer stamps her feet and pouts.

    I recommended becoming a stripper, SW. But does the griefer listen? No, the griefer doesn’t listen.

  53. JHo says:

    i think you should gulag ‘feets, Jeff.
    he is not adhering to the party line.

    i think you should defame and misrepresent, nuggie.
    we’re not adhering to the party line. or yr ego. lawls. <3

  54. Silver Whistle says:

    If she’s going to get them off, bh, she’ll have to get a new handle. Something more erotic, like Honey The Silver Pole Ryder.

  55. happyfeet says:

    Kinda like we’re all joined to Team R’s fail no matter if we agree with them or not.

    does this come with mustard?

  56. happyfeet says:

    of course we are all conjoined to Team R’s fail…

    our politics is binary

    When Team R goofballs do things like nominate Meghan’s daddy or get all Palin worshippy, it reflects poorly on all of us. Even thems what know better.

    It’s just the way of it.

    Can you find me much in the way of Team R taking any kind of care to carefully parse Team Dirty Socialist’s faction what is indifferent to our little country’s fate from its faction what actively wants to see our little country brought to her knees? No. Mostly we just lump them all together.

    The not Team R world lumps us all together as well.

  57. ThomasD says:

    The stupid, mebbe it’s a virus?

  58. McGehee says:

    My politics is hexadecimal.

  59. McGehee says:

    Beat the Democrats in 7DA!

  60. MissaA says:

    “who they’ve taken to characterizing as “the far right””

    OMG, do you even know what the phrase “political right” signifies? It doesn’t matter how “bipartisan” it is, it doesn’t matter what parties the individuals belong to. The political beliefs that they espouse are right-wing. Very much so.

    God, the American political spectrum is so ridiculously slanted towards the right and neoconservativism that the people there can’t even tell what right-wing political positions are anymore. Add political illiteracy to every other educational failure in that country.

  61. Yackums says:

    Yeah, that JFK…Now there was some serious wingnuttage.
