Trenchant analysis<\/a> regarding Washoe\/Helen Thomas:<\/p>\n

Lately it seems it’s not a complete post unless I include some of the ugliness coming out of the hard right, and ugly is exactly the word for this misogynist post<\/a> from Dan Collins at Protein Wisdom.<\/p>\n

I can understand not liking reporters who make your favorite politicians look like the chumps they are, but Helen Thomas isn’t a grandstanding ass like Russert or Matthews, and the shit hurled her way by the Right has always been mean-spirited first, and funny almost never.<\/p>\n

I guess Collins was just feeling a little blue when he posted that.<\/p>\n

When your movement’s been repudiated, movement wankers reach for their Goebbels.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Of course, the left would never make insidious comparisons<\/a>. I’ll leave Coulter out of it. And crap . . . I meant to post this to the Pub, but that’s what happens, I guess, when I post while cooking.<\/p>\n

It is, of course, deeply insightful (it’s funny because it’s true!) to call Bush “Chimpy”: how could one not see the resemblance? It’s another thing entirely to speak the truth about an old hag and feminist icon, because . . . it’s not chivalrous?<\/p>\n

Well, perhaps this is preferable?
\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I don’t think Norwegianity Guy is any particular kind of “mis-” or “-phobe”; I just think he’s not very bright. Bloody Joopacabras<\/a>. Still, he got one thing right: the post was ugly.<\/p>\n

UPDATE: Collins, incapable of discerning the difference between a reporter insisting on having a question answered and a preening jackass like Tim Russert or Chris Matthews or a predatory partisan attack dog like Ann Coulter, reiterates his intense dislike for Helen Thomas in his usual childish manner<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He also manipulates his readers by quoting me and including my link to him, but not my other two links, one showing why Collins is blue, and the other explaining what Goebbels<\/a> did [NB, wingnuts: not to be confused with these<\/a>] so Collins’ readers could draw their own conclusions.<\/p>\n

It’s the petty little things wingnut propagandists do that irritate me. Manipulating my copy and links irritates me because it’s dishonest in a petty, shallow way. As opposed to the Goebbels strategy of scapegoating certain opponents and disparaging their appearance, credentials, their very existence.<\/p>\n

Helen Thomas is ugly<\/em>. That’s Dan Collins’ way of dealing with a reporter who can’t be cowed<\/a> by the wingnut noise machine. So he disparages her appearance, just like the Nazis did the Jews<\/a>. Just like the Republicans do Hillary. Just like punk-assed losers do when they can’t hold up their end of a debate<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Look at the economy. Look at the occupation. Look at the current saber rattling. What other president has screwed up America this much? So lowered our standing in the world? Helen Thomas called Bush the worst president she’d seen, and the wingnuts can’t handle it.<\/p>\n

Sad, pathetic people beating up on old ladies.<\/p>\n

UPDATE<\/u>: Now Collins has updated and is inserting phony links into his excerpts of my blogging. Under some circumstances this could be funny, but, unless they read this, I doubt his readers are going to understand what’s going on as Collins jerks them around like the somewhat educated doofusses they are.<\/p>\n

Read the comments<\/font><\/strong><\/a>. Savor the profound depths of the wingnut minds hard at work denying reality. Collins readers’ are welcome to start a thread at Zanby<\/font><\/strong><\/a> if they like (which is what I use for comments since I’ve never had blog comments that weren’t spammed to death).<\/p>\n

And, btw, I do admit defeat. I’ve never had any children, and since I don’t even know where Collins lives, a Biblical rod* isn’t going to help me straighten out his defaming ass.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I live in Vermont.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 *Nimrod.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 And as far as those phony links go, the only one that’s just for fun is the “cowed” one.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 The others represent a commentary on your foolish assertions, and the very first link I provided was to your post.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 And FYI, the plural of doofus is doofae.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 What do you make of the Google link from my original post?\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 Any of those writers misogynists, just for calling Feinstein a cunt?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
