Liberal media bias?  The hell you say, part 3

Holy Krikey!

preemptive update:  Oliver Willis, suddenly quite unconcerned with the stifling of dissent or the chilling of speech (but still very friendly with barbecue pork rinds, I’d venture), seems rather gleeful over what he calls Chris Matthews’ smack down of Ms. Malkin.  Which I’m guessing is because in his creme-addled brain, Oliver believes the stifling of right-wing dissent is patriotic.  After all, silencing Bush supporters is doin’ the Lord’s work, right Oli?  And can I get an Amen?

…Whereas, say, calling Oliver a hack purveyor of egregious Donkey spin blinded by his own paid allegiances, is the tactic of a digital brownshirt neoconfascistoilpigbushapologist. 

Because black is white, up is down, Siegfried is Roy… And because Abu Ghraib, of course.

  1. Matthews abuses a guest who appeared in the segment at his producers’ request and Willis is happy.

    Yep, that’s the Willis we know, like flypaper to abusing women.

    You forgot plastic turkeys basted in crude oil.

    I think Michelle’s 60 trackbacks, interviews with Rush and likely Hewitt or others will have Matthewes finding out which of his guests have blogs from now on.

    Quit sending me to Willis’s site!!!

  4. Bill in CO says:

    254 swiftboat veterans write a book about John Kerry’s 4 month stint in Vietnam and Matthews goes after Malkin over it?

    Well duh!  I shoulda checked my calendar first.  It’s open season on messengers again.

  5. Joe says:

    What bennet said. There’s no need for all of us to get sick – can’t you just quote the more intelligible bits for us ? Like this:

    Oliver:

    See how much easier that is ?

  6. Charlie (Colorado) says:

    Oliver Willis:  Like flypaper to stupid.

  7. Matt says:

    There just has to be a joke tying Ollie and the 600 lb, stuck-to-the-couch woman, but I’ll be damned if I can find it.

  8. Tman says:

    Wait- hold on there just one minute…….

    John Kerry served……..in vietnam?

    Hmm. Well that changes….umm…..absolutely nothing…

    I’m about sick of hearing the word Vietnam.

    There are enough reasons to not vote for Kerry without this ridiculousness. Like his abysmal senate record in terms of defense. Since we are at war this should take precedence.

    Oh, and Ted Rall is a dimwitted little prick who should be forced to clean taliban outhouses for the rest of his life. Just thought I’d mention that.

  9. Dawn W says:

    Why do I have an unshakable belief that Mr. Kryptonite’s dreams are populated with Malkin, Coulter, Betty Crocker, Krispy Creme and spanking?

    Perhaps my regular visits to Protein Wisdom?  A pre-existing condition?  Overdose of mainstream media hypocricy?  The White Album?  I had my first glass of wine at 4:00?

  10. Forbes says:

    DawnW:

    Was that am or pm? Could make a differencewink

    The best part of the Malkin column was her comment regarding Hardball’s “basement” Nielsen ratings, and his “Neanderthal chauvinism.”

  11. Ian Wood says:

    What’s amusing about Oliver is that he’s attempting to work his way up the Big Media ladder using the Matthews/O’Reilly “Know Little, Talk Much” partisan hack template…right about the time that everybody’s getting sick to puking death of it.

    Timing is everything.

    I laugh at him.  Then I fart.  And laugh some more.

  12. erp says:

    Why do non-liberals agree to appear on these leftwing nutcase programs.  They must know they’ll be slimed.

  13. Silicon Valley Jim says:

    “254 swiftboat veterans write a book about John Kerry’s 4 month stint in Vietnam and Matthews goes after Malkin over it?”

    He couldn’t get the President, the Attorney General, or the Secretary of Defense to appear on his show.  He’s much better at in-person barbarism.

    What the fuck is a “Conervanazi”?

    Applying my knowledge of the comparative linguistics of three Indo-European languages, two of which are distantly related to the third (German+English vs. Spanish/Romance), I’m guessing it means “a Nazi with nerve.”

    Because let’s be fair: it takes a heck of a lot of chutzpah to be National Socialist these days. Credit where it’s due.

  17. McGehee says:

    I find Mr. Caps Lock’s arguments insightful and unassailable. I will now be voting for John Kerry, and a straight Democrat ticket. Except where the Democrat on the ballot isn’t stright, but you get the idea.

    Thanks, Mr. Caps Lock. Keep up the excellent work.

    Hmmm.

    If you think this stuff is crazy.  You should read what they wrote on their “blog”.  It’s mind-numbingly idiotic.

    http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5445086/



    “I’m saying that he had a plan that included not only being a war hero, but getting an ‘early out.’”

    There wasn’t much time to reflect —Countdown was to start about 20 minutes later— but the question formed quickly in my mind. “An ‘early out’? What the hell does he mean by that?”

    The answer magically appeared moments later: “The Swift Boat Veterans For Truth” are going to steer the Kerry-Shot-Himself flotsam into the mainstream media.

    Michelle Malkin, the unfortunate and overmatched author of a self-loathing book that attempts to justify our World War II internment and robbery of Americans of Japanese heritage, became the harbinger of the next mucky smell of low tide.

    – Keith Olbermann

    Amazing.  It’s been weeks now since this stuff has come out and this guy, who is a paid professional, is completely ignorant of the facts on how Kerry got out of Vietnam after on 4 months and 12 days.  On top of that nonsense is this concept that a “self-inflicted wound” automatically means that Kerry is supposed to have intentionally shot himself to get out of combat.

    And it’s Maklin, who was actually invited onto Hardball to talk about her book and not Unfit for Command, who’s responsible for floating this idea!!

    Is it stupidity?  Is it incompetence?  Is it just laziness?

    Anyone got a theory?

  19. In case you haven’t noticed, and as a result of a shamelessly rigged election in Florida, in which thousands of African Americans were arbitrarily disenfranchised, we now present ourselves to the rest of the world as proud, grinning, jut-jawed, pitiless war lovers, with appallingly powerful weaponry and unopposed.

    In case you haven’t noticed, we are now almost as feared and hated all over the world as the Nazis were.

    With good reason.

    In case you haven’t noticed, our unelected leaders have dehumanized millions and millions of human beings simply because of their religion and race. We wound and kill ’em and torture ’em and imprison ’em all we want.

    Piece of cake.

    In case you haven’t noticed, we also dehumanize our own soldiers, not because of their religion or race, but because of their low social class.

    Send ’em anywhere. Make ’em do anything.

    Piece of cake.

    Our president is a Christian? So was Adolf Hitler.

  20. Jeff Goldstein says:

    Listen →

    In case you haven’t noticed, your entire post doesn’t include a single original thought or fresh observation. 

    In case you haven’t noticed, invoking Adolph Hitler and comparing him—however obliquely—to President Bush, is boring, silly, and the mark of a mind that should have quit while it was ahead—say, after Breakfast of Champions.

    And so it goes.

  21. ed says:

    Hmmmm.

    “Our president is a Christian? So was Adolf Hitler.”

    You know I’ve seen this same exact nonsense on other blogs.  I guess this … guy … is spamming blogs with the same post.

    Cut-n-Paste dude.  What a joy to come across you yet again.

    It’s bad enough when I have to spend half my time educating liberals who haven’t bothered to learn anything about the issues being discussed.  Now they’re wasting my time by posting endlessly regurgitated spam.

    joy.

  22. IXLNXS says:

    Maybe the joke was the fact someone suggested Kerry had entered the military and got an early out because he “planned” to use his military service record thirty some years later in a bid for the presidential election.

    As in thirty years ago Kerry knew he would be running for president and planned each move from there.

    I got the joke. Shame others didn’t see it as well.

  23. ed says:

    Hmmm.

    “Maybe the joke was the fact someone suggested Kerry had entered the military and got an early out because he “planned” to use his military service record thirty some years later in a bid for the presidential election.”

    1. Kerry has had a JFK fixation since his teen years.

    2. Kerry joined the USN, like JFK.

    3. Kerry volunteered for a coastal patrol craft, like JFK.

    4. Kerry got a few medals, like JFK.

    5. Kerry ran for Congress, like JFK.

    6. Kerry is running for President, like JFK.

    You’re right.  No correlation there at all.

  24. Bill Quick says:

    Vonnegut actually posted that crap on his own blog at much greater length.  This bit of paraphrased vomit comes from a faker, I suspect.

    My only surprise was to discover he’s still alive.  More or less.

  25. Lou Hebert says:

    First visit to this blog. I am humbled by the greatness of this thread.

  26. Jason says:

    Oliver who?!?

  27. David Gillies says:

    Here’s a funny thing, from glancing at the comments on this chunk of crap: one of Fat Albert’s commenters called ‘oxymoron’ tried to shoot down someone called Roger Snowden by stating that the ‘effective range of the shrapnel’ from a grenade is 15 yards, so Kerry couldn’t have accidentally hurt himself with his own grenade. Bullshit. The 15m figure is what’s known as the ‘casualty radius’ of a grenade, not the safe distance from where it goes off. Within the casualty radius of a fragmentation grenade, everyone who’s not behind cover gets a bit (or several) of steel wire going supersonic, and is like as not rendered immediately hors de combat. But bits are still going mighty fast at longer distances than that. Let’s assume Lurch was using an M79 grenade launcher firing the M406 fragmentation grenade (this is a reasonable assumption: the M203 was not comtemporaneous with Kerry in Vietnam) In fact, if one Googles on m406 grenade danger radius, one obtains as the first hit a Microsoft Word document version of a USMC Sergeant’s course which clearly states that the danger radius of an M406 grenade is 130 metres.

    I can’t believe anyone goes to Olivers site.

  29. David Gillies says:

    BTW, ed, had Kerry got his Swift Boat t-boned by a North Vietnamese destroyer and manufactured a tale of heroism from it, your parallels would be even more eerie.

  30. I don’t think there was any such thing as a North Vietnamese destroyer, or there’d be a couple of extra chapters in the Kerry bio.  Wherein he saves some of his crewmates, and gets washed up on a small island.

  31. jeremy in NYC says:

    I think there was a TV show on that.  John Kerry was “Skipper.”
