The views expressed on protein wisdom reflect the opinions of those writers responsible for expressing said views and in no way necessarily reflect the opinions of every other person who happens to vote for a Republican, a conservative, or a conservative libertarian at one time or another in his or her likely racist, sexist, classist, misogynistic, and homophobic life.
Of course, it’s possible that the views expressed here could reflect the opinions of some readers—just as the views expressed by some readers could, in fact, reflect the views of the site proprietor. But I certainly wouldn’t bank on that. Such are the pitfalls of non-moderated comments, I guess.
So, you know—you’re just gonna have to learn to deal with it, cupcake.1

1“Cupcake,” as used here, references a soft and spongy iced dessert treat, and is in no way meant to imply that Mr Greenwald(s) is anything other than something akin to a soft and spongy iced dessert treat, metaphorically speaking2
2The phrase “metaphorically speaking” is in no way meant to imply that the traits of a soft and spongy iced dessert cake should be tied to any of Mr Greenwald’s(’s) personal attributes and behaviors that aren’t, in fact (metaphorically speaking) soft and spongy—and related, in some vague poetic sense, to an iced dessert treat
Mmmmm…cupcakes.
LOL! I see your point and largely agree with it. However, there is logic and there is perception, and I still think this is a perception-loser.
I’d just like to point out that sometimes the views that I seem to express here do not even necessarily reflect my own opinions.
DAMN YOU, me! I said that exact thing, and then you’ve already posted it. loser.
Me’ve. Me’ve already posted it.
I just wanted to point out that when JFK stood before the Berlin Wall in 1961 and proclaimed, “Ich bin ein Faggot” he was merely announcing that he was a bassoon. I would also point out that the normative word to describe what the poor peasant was carrying on his back on his way to the execution of Jan Hus is “bundle of faggots” (same as the assassin of Garfield is always a “disgruntled office-seeker”)
which is why cigarettes are known as “faggots” and “fags” in Britain (or used to be.)
But it doesn’t help.
I am not sure how this association of “sticks, wood” got going with “homosexuals”
But:
If what you write may not reflect the views that you hold or the views of Jeff Goldstein but may reflect the belief set of certain “groups” whose collective opinions may not be homogenious but may reflect the beliefs of Protein Wisdom, which should reflect the beliefs Jeff Goldstein but not necesarily the beliefs of maggie or Dan or … or … um …
Ohhhhhhhhh! Cupcakes!
On second thought, since Jeff has since addded the footnotes, you can have the metaphorically soft and spongy Greenwald cupcakes.
I wonder if Glenn Greenwald has anything to say about this controversy …..
What are you implying, Steve? That John Edwards is a bassoon? WOODWINDOPHOBE!!!
Hey, calm down, it’s not like Annie said he was an ambulance chasing metrosexual with Silky Pony hair….
Are you trying to tell me that I have to come up with my own opinions from now on?
Oh yeah? Well I don’t have to listen to you because YOU’RE NOT THE BOSS OF ME!
Does this mean that I am not part of a monolithic group, acting in unison with my comrades, listening to the daily message through echo-chambers?
So now I have to have more than one lithic?
tw:single29. How does it do that?!
Did someone say “monolithp”? Not funny.
If John Edwards is a bassoon then I am sure that many will want to moisten his reed.
John Edwards is rather buff for a bassoon. I guess that would make him a buffoon.
CLOWNOPHOBE!
Somebody please inform Glenn Reynolds.
in his or her likely racist, sexist, classist, misogynistic, and homophobic life.
Aha! Gotcha! There’s no way I could be any of those things, since everyone knows I have no life!
So put that in your pipe and smoke it, you pipesmoker!
…
…
Aw, crap. Now I have to do that disclaimer thing.
1) “Pipesmoker,” as used here, references an actual tobacco pipe, and is in no way meant to imply that Mr Goldstein is anything other than mistaken in his attempt to categorize this particular commentor, metaphorically speaking. It certainly wasn’t meant to imply that Mr. Goldstein is a dirty, dirty faggot.
“G.O.P. Candidates Criticize Slur by Conservative Author,” by Adam Nagouney, in NYTimes, on March 4, 2007.
Oh, I’m sure that Ann Coulter doesn’t really hate fags. Which is kind of beside the point. However, the best part of that article was this quote from the Edwards campaign:
Yeah, right.
How DARE you compare me to Edwards and Greenwald!
I hate those two faggots!
Oooooh! I’ll do it!
Dear Glenn —
You did it, too!—although you were pointing out how Churchill’s justifications for violence against the US mirrored the blowback talk of left-liberal policy makers, pundits, and academics.
Whereas, say, Greenwald has decided that Ann Coulter calling Edwards “faggot” mirrors, well, EVERYTHING IN THE BLACK HEARTS AND SMUDGED SOULS OF ALL THE HATERS (who it just so happens are all on the right).
Well, except for Phelps and co. But he ACTS like a rightwinger.
Heh.
(Disclaimer: my use of the word “heh” as a singular interjection is not intended to imply in any way that any other person who ever uses or has ever used the word “heh” as a singular interjection necessarily shares or endorses the opinion expressed in this or any other comment authored by me. Comments authored by me reflect only my own opinion and if it offends you, good.)
The upside of this ‘the comments by unmoderated commenters reflect the opinions of the blogger’ is that Jeff now thinks the 1980s flick ‘The Soldier’ starring Kurt Wahl is a terrific B movie, and suddenly relevant given the circumstances, worthy of adding to those lists of foreign and artsy-fartsy movies.
The Trailer:

It’s the movie John Edwards dare not watch.
I think we need to get the opinion of Dire Straits on this. After all, they were the ones that foretold “ the little faggot with the earring and the make up.”
Check the song, they called the whole thing.*
*~ Except the “that’s his own hair” part. It seems to “Jimmy Johnson” pefect to be trusted.
When I’m finally fired from my job for surfing the net as much as I do, I want there to be a record of the fact that I agree with the sentiment expressed in this post. That is, I as a commenter may or may not agree with the opinions or writings of the post authors on this website.
I once gave my son a self-referential surrealist ambiguity for Christmas. However76 (tw) I’m not so sure it lived past New Year’s.
Well, there goes the monolith.
Feh.
…or, to be more precise, HATES like a hating rightwinger.
You know that song Mr. Hate by The Tubes? My fave.
Oh, that’s got to be one of the worst trailers evarrr.
In point of fact, Reynolds didn’t do anything of the sort.
See you at CPAC ‘08!
For the record, all of my “homophobic” rants and name calling were the product of my fertile brain and I am not a Republican.
If I am at the fringe, so be it. I’d rather be at the fringe than assiciated with fools who think I have to toe some imaginary line and confrom to their politically correct nonsense.
(BTW, no one is more “homophobic” than homos, that’s why they want gay marriage, i.e. to appear normal).
What?
We all have to stay hairy Australopithecines?!?!?!
You will be assimilated.
Maybe I’ve arrived late to the fair here but –
Ann “Bucket o’ Deer Antlers” Coulter vs Glenn “Cupcake” Greenwald…GoogleFight!
assimilated
Does that involve Astro-glide?
Unlikely. Republicans want to ban KY so those faggotass faggots will feel the pain of their sin.
Also, a warm cookie to whomever can identify the entertainer who apparently coined the phrase “faggotass faggot”
I thought he was on our side. This isn’t about WWII? Nevermind.
Edward Lear glimpses Glenn Greenwald in a dream and sees the rough beast, its hour come round at last, slouching towards Bethlehem to be born:
Ding Dong the witch is dead ….
Chris Rock?
My guess was going to be Andrew “Dice” Clay.
What do I have to do? Call you a faggot to get some service around here.
first use of faggotass faggot:
I believe it was Julius Ceasar when he and Marc Antony were discussing Cleopatras useless half brother.
There was an earlier Greek version Pustipus de pusti. That went back to Homer, which, you may have noticed is close to homo.
Um…service?
