The First Amendment is for purists and extremists, evidently. And sensible, sober, realistic political thinkers like John Kerry know when it’s time to call a Hobbit a Hobbit and boot those hairy-footed, do-gooder midgets back to the idealistic fantasy land that belched them forth, lest people begin taking them too seriously as an alternative to the sensible, sober, realistic political establishment — one that believes unemployment benefits create jobs, and that cuts in government spending mean the destruction of the private sector.
Unsurprisingly, the writer covering this, Business Insider’s Glynnis MacNicol, seems to find Kerry’s reimagining of the First Amendment sensible, sober, and realistic, herself obliquely decrying the rise of talk radio and the internet.
Up is down. Black is white. Benny is the Jets.
Why is “f*@# you” sounding more and more like a reasonable response to these creatures? Yes, “f asterisk-at-crosshatch you” is exactly what I mean.
How precious is that?
Pretty damn precious, all in all. Just as special as that first little turd the potty training tyke deposits in the toilet for all to see. A gem, a diadem of insight, utterly exempt from its own purpose.
Well, to people like John Kerry, who want all the power, all the time, we ARE dangerous extremists.
Wear it proudly, outlaws. We are known by our enemies.
Would it really be so bad if Big Media just ignored us? I mean, as things stand now, when we’re not painted as a rampaging horde of vicious racist ignorant God-bothering gay-bashing zombie pedophiles clinging bitterly to our guns and Bibles, we’re credited with “historic victories” that bring the economy crashing down.
I honestly think we’d have an easier time getting our message out without all the “help” from the Blatherers Guild.
Yes, “f asterisk-at-crosshatch you” is exactly what I mean.
Is that how that’s pronounced? I’ve always said “eff-star-at-pound you!”
If you shrink government, these people are in a LOT of trouble.
Sort of like these guys will be, after all is said and done: http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/mysterious-company-dissolves-giving-1-million-pro-romney-142445497.html
Someone should beat John Kerry to death. And the media should ignore the event, because John Kerry is an inconsequential pimple on the ass of America. Work for you, John?
Remember: this douchebag was the Democrat’s nominee for president in 2004. With John Edwards for VP, no less.
If shame existed for the donkeys, the memory above would cause them all to drown themselves. Fortunately for the cleanliness of our navigable waters, they have zero shame.
It should be pointed out that Glynnis MacNicol is not actually a business “insider,” but is instead the former editor of the liberal blogs Mediaite and FishbowlNY. In fact, if you look at most of the “insiders” that write at Business Insider, I think you’ll find that very few of them seem to have actual “business” experience.
But hey, the site loves to focus on tabloid-like stories, so why not? It’s not like all the REAL business insiders, as opposed to the Liberal Arts pretenders, aren’t hanging out at Zero Hedge all day or anything… ;)
too bad the mbm doesn’t have the balls to ask j’effin’kerry about this:

Business Insider trying to deconstruct Rick Perry some more.
Written by a super elite former Newsweek intern business “insider.”
Other than aggregating random stories about who bought what house, that site really is a joke.
Let’s not forget Krauthammer told us we should go home, too. And he greatly fears Palin and Bachmann, but considered Huntsman a top tier candidate. But he’s on “our” side, so.
Nuance.
Uh oh…. HuffPo is mocking Obama
anyone check the temperature in Hell lately?
that is Henry Blodget’s site he’s an ethically-challenged douche
but Perry is working very hard to pander to some very questionable elements
hf
who? how? define “pander”
Don’t forget that anyone who is actually running invokes the ire of the lightning pokemon.

Gee, I thought you *liked* the Hispandering immigration romantics.
I think the media should stop covering idiots. Starting with Sen. Kerry.
You know, I often get Kerry confused with Biden.
I don’t know why that is. huh.
pander[ing] to…
cupcakes.
what number?
and which colors?
I need help with John Kerry’s revolutionary nom de guerre?
I got the “o.b.a.” part down pat (being “Old Boston Asshole” — easy to remember). But I can’t recall whether he settled on a “K” for Kerry, so’s he could use it as a mnemonic to remember his own name (you New Englanders who’ve run into him in a queue didn’t fall for his rhetorical trick when he asks “Don’t you know who I am?” did you? He really can’t remember, but disguises that with this ruse to appear to want to get ahead in line, on the odd chance someone will blurt his name out.) Or an “S” for wet noddle, being a sort of truth-in-advertizing for the younger set, who appreciate that sort of thing.
So which is it? Koba? Or Soba?
Physics Geek,
I think you have hit the nail on the head.
The death of shame in America is the driving force behind these fascist assholes, and the general acceptance of their fantasy world.

Fuck that horse-faced mother fucking douchenozzle. Good Allah, between him and Wunderkind Ezra Klein, they made my ears bleed. 2+ years of unemployment creates jobs. that kind of asshattery should fucking hurt.
K for ????????.
some very questionable elements
Good deal.
Hopefully they’ll have loose tungsten we’ll garner something.
Or gleen, even.
Wait, were the lefties all for equal time on the radio, especially since Air America folded?
You shouldn’t be too hard on Kerry. He’s probably still suffering some post-traumatic stress from the Christmas he spent in Cambodia.
Kerry’s about half right, which is as close to being right as he’s likely to get.
Soap box. Ballot box. Jury box. Cartridge box.
Soap box? Not for thee, says the traitor.
Ballot box? We’ll just station your friendly Black Panther outside. It’s not like he’s intimidating, after all.
Jury box? Regulators don’t need juries.
That leaves the cartridge box.
