Don’t think this is the end.

Don’t think this is the end.
For me, the end came when I hit “Stop” approximately 20 seconds in.

“the whole grain bread operation”
What a tool.

A capella!!
I can’t believe he dropped the hammer on the Guatemalan fascists!

I feel like Jonah in the belly of the whale.

Well, that pretty much covers the book. The soundtrack should constitute the audio version, though that would deprive Gilbert Gottfried of the v/o of a lifetime.

Simply because the nanny state wants to hug you doesn’t mean it’s not totalitarian… if you DON’T WANNA BE HUGGED!
Brilliant! Johnah succeeds in reducing his argument to one simple phrase comprehensible to any three year-old! What a wordsmith!
An insistent loop of “don’t wanna be hugged” over some menacing beats… yes! The battlerap is coming together now, is what I’m saying.

Hey, wait a minute– How can Jonah be trusted? He’s not wearing a flag pin!!!

Christ, everyone and their brother knows that FDR and Wilson were a couple of fascist pigs. So that’s kind of boring.
But it’s good to see Ezra Klein is no longer getting a free pass just for having a jewey type name.
I, myself, have not read Goldberg’s book, but that alone is worth the $128,000 bulk rate purchase price.
February 15, 2008 at 7:51 pm
Could someone help me out here? Mr. Goldberg has a “goatee” style facial hair. I seem to remember hearing that some old time Russian Communist-type had similar facial hair, but I can’t seem to find out for sure. But if so, that would be irrefutable proof that Mr. Goldberg is a Conservative Communist.

Awesome! You can just feel the IQ points slip away as you watch. Kinda like huffing glue but not as much fun.

He had me when he said “Nazi.”
February 15, 2008 at 11:43 pm
he’s a man of many words, all of which are “fascism”.

What is Liberal Facism?
This video is brilliant.

As Dr. Johnson once said, “that fellow has but one idea, and it is a wrong one.”

Just played a gig last night, and am sad that I didn’t have this available. The sampling prospects provided here so kindly by MC D. Pants are invaluable. Rest assured, Jonah, we’ll help you get the words out. In underground NYC clubs full of sex and drugs and dancing and art, those oh-so classically fascist meet and greets.

Giant. Honking. Ignoramus.

Wow.
That is 100% pure stupid concentrate.

Strangely hypnotic. I feel like if you watch it enough times, it will all start to make sense.
February 16, 2008 at 2:05 pm
Indeed – the way that its edited, it all sounds like rapping.
Hmm.
February 16, 2008 at 2:50 pm
Capt. T will definitely be sampling this. I’m thinking like “Nineteen..na na na na ninetee. The average age of combat soldier in Vietnam was nineteen”

Cool! I’m, like, Hitler’s grand niece – once removed.

As James Piereson argues in his brilliant book, “Camelot and the Cultural Revolution,” the mythmaking industrial complex kicked into overdrive largely to compensate for the fact that Kennedy was killed not by the American right but by a devout Marxist red named Lee Harvey Oswald. The propaganda campaign to blame “forces of hate” – code for the American right – was one of the most fascinating instantaneous “happenings” in U.S. history. For example, a young Texas reporter got hold of a false rumor that a classroom of schoolchildren in Dallas – aka the City of Hate – cheered when they heard Kennedy had been murdered. The local CBS affiliate concluded the story was untrue. But the enterprising reporter did an end-run and filed the story with the network in New York anyway. And with that, a young Dan Rather was off to the races.

If this was a better managed time then Jonah Goldberg would be likely be peddling his snappy fascist-liberal-f-f-fascism elixir from the back of a tastefully painted Barchetta. Unfortunately, the gleaming alloy air car of postmodern thought has shot towards him two lanes wide!
February 16, 2008 at 8:30 pm
Probably the best 4 minute review of by an author summing up his latest effort in the history of authors summing up their latest efforts.
PS – Does P Load truck with health Nazis? Lookin svelt…mm hmmm.

The whole thing was like an episode of Max Headroom, only with prodigious amounts of dough and bed head.

Jesus Christ, Editors, you are one funny motherfucker. Keep hammering the DP. More! More!

Simply because I insisted that the country should invade Iraq doesn’t mean I should personally enlist… if I DON’T WANNA BE IN THE ARMY!
February 17, 2008 at 9:47 am
WM,JOLF,
JG was rightfully concerned about the “friendly fascism”.

You have to load the pants you have.
They’re not the pants you might want or wish to have at a later time.

Nice try, The Editors, but I’m not watching. Find another sucker…

I’d like to see that as a dinosaur video.
February 18, 2008 at 6:14 am
Wow! A throw-down (or is it throw-up) in that hip-hoppin’-fresh style that’s the signature of Original Doughboy!
February 18, 2008 at 12:35 pm
Does anyone else think Pantload looks a lot like a brown-haired, goateed Jim Gaffigan in this video? After a couple minutes, he even starts to sound like him, too.
No offense to Jim Gaffigan, of course.
February 18, 2008 at 2:39 pm
Finally, something that is even more unlistenable than Lou Reed’s ‘Metal Machine Music.’
February 18, 2008 at 4:13 pm
Get some toilet paper because MC D. P’load’s lyrics are “butt.”
(That’s a rap thing, right?)

I’ve trying to ignore this cobag, but I viewed this one out of boredom. Big mistake. Ok, so when he says “fascist”, he means “authoritarian”, right? Stop me if I’ve loaded my pants incorrectly, but isn’t fascism a specific flavor of authoritarianism that historically has been peculiar to right-wing ideologies? Seems to me the boy’s got mommy issues. He’s like a squirming 10-year-old angry about his mommy kissing him in front of his friends and equating her behavior with Hitler.
February 19, 2008 at 2:40 pm
Jonah is a Pinochet admirer, Thorlac, and doesn’t even use words like “authoritarian”, much less “fascist”, in describing him.

Obviously, my second mistake was trying to make sense of his idiocy. My first mistake was allowing him entry into my consciousness. I won’t make either of those mistakes again.

I’m busy ‘coptering this week. Could someone post the transcript?
February 19, 2008 at 10:52 pm
That’s a big 10-4 Fred X. Quimby
I took my copter, CopterHawk into the canyon this weekend. We just took down some targets, but she wasn’t running as hot as she was before.
My other copter, “Shazam!”, is getting painted.

rap beat…
“I think I pioneered the use of the vocal samples in hip- hop. Think of the Average White Band for “Thinking of a Masterplan” and the James Brown one for “In Control of Things.” No one was really using samples or loops that had a voice in it until…
