The self-similarity of wingnuttery:
It’s all like this. Everything is just like this. Some blank young person who has memorized a 5″x7″ index card of focus group-approved phrases, yelling, yelling, yelling over everyone. And you can say what you want, and be as right as you want, but he’s going to keep yelling, and yelling, and yelling until you get sick of it, and at the end of the day everybody knows that Barack Obama goes to secret Muslim church. Everything is like this. An election won’t fix it. This rules the world.
Via.

I’ve never seen a face that so badly wanted to be punched. It’s like he’s stuffed full of marshmallows. Or maybe he’s just swollen from the deserved beatings he’s already received.
I’m glad he’s on their side.

You can’t argue with willful stupidity, you can only punish it.

What a week! Adolph Obama closes the deal, ready to appease Al Qaeda, making welfare and healthcare available to all terrorists, worldwide. Gay marriage is okayed in two states, now Nancy Pelosi can marry Barbara Boxer, flies can wed bumblebees! Karl Rove is told he’s going to be indicted, John Boehner offers free Ben & Jerry cones on the Senate floor in exchange for poison pills for Democratic-introduced amendments. Shrub finally found out that Ahmad Chalabi is with the Russians too and now Chris Matthews, of all people, actually sweeps the floors of 30 Rock with wingnut carcass. Allah, the all-merciful, has heard my prayers!

I think that fractal diagram of yours is my favorite thing from your weblog.

Not even a cynical old bastard like me would go quite that far. This is what American Football does to people.

Of course, since Chimpy’s talking about appeasement one has to assume he’s projecting.
I wonder what he sold us out on this time?
May 16, 2008 at 7:55 am
For a while, President Bush’s support has been pegged at about 25-30%. I’m sure you can add in a few percentage points for WND/Freeper types for whom the President is insufficiently nuke-happy, and we should have a good third of the voting-age population that are prime candidates for shunning.
Or they could create suburbs and think-tanks and self-segregate. That would work.

This guy is the perfect example of the cloned rightwing nutjob. They memorize their political index cards as well as their bible verses, but know nothing of either.
For the record, I shout back.
Enjoy.

I’m sorry, this is completely wrong. The index cards they use are 3″ X 5″.

44 seconds. I only lasted 44 seconds when actually trying to make it through the whole clip. Then that voice in my head convinced me I wouldn’t benefit from additional evidence of willful douchebaggery.

The Eds. are offering appeasement! Appeasers!
PS: While others glorify that fucking idiot for this, I STILL hate that drooling simp Matthews. That he’s smarter than a infant like James is like being crowned the Smartest 35 year old in the 3rd Grade.
Fuck him. And all the rest of your appeasers.
May 16, 2008 at 11:15 am
Chamberlain appeased the 3rd Reich. Jay B. would have us appease the 3rd Grade. Neville Chamberlain and Jay B.: appease in a pod.

I saw this interview last night. You know this idiot walked out of the interview feeling like he was treated unfairly, but in reality he was completely unprepared and has no grasp of history before 1980.

A blank young person growing up to be a blank old person. Who votes.
May 16, 2008 at 3:24 pm
He’s like the distilled essence of fratboy, which smells like entitlement and shite.
May 16, 2008 at 3:32 pm
Yet another example: debates with wingnuts always devolve into factual arguments, e.g. “What is the actual sum of two plus two?”
It takes so much time and effort to force the wingnut to admit that the answer is actually “four” that the original topic of the debate is abandoned and forgotten.
So at the end of the process, the wingnut walks away having “not lost”, and is all ready for the next argument with the next liberal.

It’s already happening. They call it Rural America.

Tim: According to Kevin James’bio on KLRA, James was an Assistant US Attorney in LA for several years. Now that’s frightening.
James went to the University of Oklahoma as an undegrat and to the University of Houston Law School. Princeton, Yale, and Harvard are off the hook.

Each of us knew in high school one Chris Matthews and one Kevin James.
I’m convinced their success as yammering heads on my moronbox has as much to do with our compulsive nostalgic scratching of high schools scars as with their respective professional assholability.
May 17, 2008 at 1:46 pm
This is hysterical. First Dana Perino didn’t know what the Cuban Missile Crisis was all about, and now this nutjob throws around the word “appeasement” like he’s ordering a Big Mac at McDonalds.
Totally clueless.
Does anyone else feel ‘energized’ by this? lmao!

Ah, then you haven’t heard of how “we” are giving the Saudis nukes. Oh, just civilian nuclear plants, of course. Hey, maybe now they won’t dump the dollar!
