Prager Fakes A Sillygasm

Shorter Dennis Prager, dennisprager.com:
Leftism Makes You Meaner

  • Major Premise: All people that say that everyone they differ with is a bad person are fools.
  • Minor Premise: All Liberals are bad people because they are all mean
  • Conclusion: I am a foo. . . wait, can we start over here? This isn’t working out the way I intended.

‘Shorter’ concept created by Daniel Davies and perfected by Elton Beard. We are aware of all Internet traditions.™

He is a foo?

BTW…given that FYWP is set up to eat any comment with the word f00l in it, isn’t posting this sort of cruel?

 
 

I’ll go re-enable that word in the comments

 
 

Kinda like a Yoo but somewhat different.

 
 

Don’t Fool With Fireworks

 
 

I also reenabled the use of “Dennis” in the comments, at least until that Dennis reappears.

 
 

I’ll go re-enable that word in the comments

Thank you, my lord.

 
 

Don’t Dennis with Fireworks

 
 

Don’t fool with Texas, they have enough already.

And my goddamn post not too fast damn you!

 
 

I see Prager is making an implication I see more and more these days:

(a) Tom Friedman is a hateful jerkwad
(b) Tom Friedman is a liberal
therefore, all liberals are hateful jerkwads.

Tom Friedman liberal? And do people like Prager not understand the concept of the plural of anecdote not being data?

 
 

why on earth would the word fool have been blocked to begin with?

[Tintin responds: Troll prophylaxis. I forgot to remove it after the troll went away.]

 
 

He calls his website “The Dennis Prager Show.”

I would mock his ridiculously transparent and pathetic wish to be a TV pundit, but that would be mean.

 
 

From the original article:

Leftists’ meanness toward those with whom they differ has no echo on the normative right.

Are there any true Scotsmen?

 
 

Fūl is a tasty and nutritious snack.

 
 

Previous troll named “fool”, Pliny (Elder?). Up on backstroke, punk bitchez suxxorz, etc.

 
 

Anectdata

 
 

Sure, thinking people are homophobic or sexist or xenophobic is mean.

Actually being those things? A-OK.

Oh, Dennis.

 
 

Alex, I’ll take “It’s always projection on the Right” for $500.

 
 

I also reenabled the use of “Dennis” in the comments, at least until that Dennis reappears.

QUESTION: Can we say “Voldemort?”

 
 

F?l is a tasty and nutritious snack.

Oh, snap. I am going to research that and then make it. And then eat it.

 
Privatize the Profits! Socialize the Costs!
 

“I’m not mocking the losing of the child. But what I’m saying is I think it shows a certain unusual attitude toward taking a 2-hour-baby home who died to play with his other children.”

Only a hateful, mean leftist like Fox News’ Alan Colmes would EVER use deliberately hurtful words like unusual attitude about taking home a dead fetus to show your other children.

Where’s my fainting couch!

Bring me my vapors!

Oh, the humanity!

 
 

And do people like Prager not understand the concept of the plural of anecdote not being data?

No. If you read any wingnut comment thread, they’re filled to the brim with “I knew this one Demoncrap once and he was jerk ergo all libs are jerks” logic. Miraculously, all bad co-workers and/or bosses are all liberals. All of them.

 
 

I have had many interactions with Alan Colmes

Well, you got me there Denny, I’ve never heard of him but I’m sure you’re as right about him as you are about everything else.

 
 

Bring me my vapors!

Close but not quite. Try this. http://www.asklyrics.com/display/twista/higher-lyrics.htm

Not the right usage either but its Twista, cut some slack.

 
 

I’ve never heard of him

He used to be on Fox, basically for the sole purpose of giving Hannity a token liberal to beat up on.

Kind of like what the Washington Generals were to the Harlem Globetrotters.

 
 

I just heard that Randall Terry is going to buy ads during the Super Bowl that show bloody, mangled fetuses. He even filed to run for president (as a Democrat!) so that the network would have to air them. Maybe they’ll guest-star the Santorum family.

 
 

PtP! StC!-

I know! Playing with your aborted fetus (oh wait, IOKIYA Anti-Abortion Crusader Hypocrite) and sleeping with it is called “weird” by the mean-old hateful lefties whereas sweet innocent righties would never ever do horrible things. Like calling a man who lost most of his limbs for his countries an anti-american traitor or say stalking and harassing a kid for proof of why he deserves to die just because he talked about how a government program saved his life, or going into various schools talking about how queer kids deserve to be harassed to death and the people who drove them to suicide are motherfucking heroes.

Or…

Yeah. I love how all he had for proof was the talking points attack on anyone who dares criticize the current Not-Romney and the usual right-wing failure to understand anti-semitism. Noticing the influence that right-wing Israelis have on American policy and lawmakers through heavy lobbying is tout suite anti-semitism even if you are a jew or an Israeli. Wanting everyone in Israel to have all the bombs needed to attack their neighbors because you are hoping their expanded borders will faster bring the day when Christ returns and slaughters all the Jews and sends them to Hell? Proof of your deep and abiding love of the Jewish people. Now, if only they could do something about that “liberal” media and Hollywood and that mind-controlling Soros money working for the Protocols of Zion.

 
 

I just heard that Randall Terry is going to buy ads during the Super Bowl that show bloody, mangled fetuses.

If they were killed by smart-bombs in the Middle East I’d guess that’s just Randall’s fapping material.

 
 

BS-

And the fact that he’s buying Super Bowl airtime instead of serving 20 to Life in prison for his transparent role in the Dr. Tiller shooting is the bestest ever proof I could imagine for how Republicans and Christians truly are the most oppressed minority in these United States.

 
 

bloody, mangled fetuses.

It’s a tired old con, but I guess it still snookers the slow ones. “Mistaking” people venting their outrage over truly evil grim shit for lynch-mob bloodlust: A Convenient Untruth… silly wingnut: syllogisms are for thinkers!

Tree-hugging leads to granny-mugging!

It’s a tired old con, but I guess it still snookers the slow ones.

It’s a desperate attempt to assuage the twinges of conscience that might edge into their thoughts now and then… the alternative is that they are truly monsters.

But one just assumes that some things — not many, just some — are off limits to political pundits and activists.

Among these few things, one has to believe, is the death of a child.

Santorum brought it up, so apparently it’s off-limits except to court praise.

f I believed just about everyone with left-wing views was despicable, I would be meaner, too.

Dude, did you read the column you just wrote? And meaner than what, I must ask?

I got off the boat again. After reading the screed, I looked at the site tabs and found Prager University

The idea behind Prager University is to build a virtual university online. Our goal is to become the un-university.

We want to do right what the real university does wrong: the real university is absurdly expensive; our courses are free. The real university teaches students to despise America; we teach them to admire it. The real university uses grad students to teach classes; we use the best minds in the world. The real university takes months to teach nonsense; we offer wisdom in five minutes. In fact, our motto is “give us five minutes and we’ll give you a semester.”

It sounds like a boast, but the university has set the bar so low, it’s not.

Prager University has no course in Introductory Logic.

They also don’t offer any 5-minute astrophysics courses, which really disappointed me.

 
 

Which is the one that leads to beer keggering again? Cause I need to do more of that.

 
 

The comment about beer keggering was mine.

 
 

Major premise: Egg

Minor premise: Foo Yung

 
 

Pain

This is more fun than writing, which I’m not very good at anyway!

 
 

That was some tasty-looking minor premise.

 
 

I haven’t gotten out of the boat, but is this another wingnut column saying “lookit those people over there, they’re so awful because they all generalize about people they disagree with, without exception”?

 
 

A: Hi Bob.
B: HI THERE.
A: How are you?
B: I’M FINE, THANK YOU.
A: What are you gonna do today?
B: I’M GONNA BE MEAN TO EVERYONE.

 
 

g: That’s pretty much the bedrock…hidden underneath some sediment about Santorum’s dead-baby weirdness.

 
 

Which is the one that leads to beer keggering again?

Everything.

But he already does. Every man who is sexually faithful to his wife already engages in daily heroic self-control.

Heroically not shagging everything that moves it’s our Dennis. Well iffen it could move it wouldn’t let Denis get near it.

Hey, any bets on how soon it takes Jonah to support bailouts in light of this news?

They have a two second astrophysics course, “READ GENESIS!!!”

I’ll wager 50 quatloos on the newcomer.

Blar! Hostess! I went to Jr high a block from where the Twinkie was invented (no autographs,please). We used to steal snack cakes off the loading dock and trucks daily. I still refuse to acknowledge a “snowball” as food.

Aww, fucket.

 
 

Every man who is sexually faithful to his wife already engages in daily heroic self-control.

I have gone four days without sexing and killing a prostitute. ELECT ME!

 
 

You thought you were all safe from overly long mango fiskings. You thought wrong!

Back in the early 90’s I would sometimes listen to Dennis Prager on the radio. I got the impression that he wanted to be a reasonable conservative, but would occasionally toss out a red meat comment to try to hold onto conservative listeners. This was probably not a sustainable formula: By the time Bush came into office the conservative base had become more rabid, and conservative politicians were all over the media so there was little incentive for a liberal to listen to a conservative talk show host. It looks like Prager survived by abandoning what was left of his intellectual integrity.

 
Privatize the Profits! Socialize the Costs!
 

Yeah, it’s sort of like George Wallace once said after losing an election, “I was out-niggered, and I will never be out-niggered again.”

Prager was out-wackoed, and will never be out-wackoed again.

 
 

In fact, our motto is “give us five minutes and we’ll give you a semester.”

Yeah, they have that in regular college, too. It’s called blowing your professor.

 
 

“a hug is just a strangle you haven’t finished yet” – Copernicus the homicidal monkey (paraphrase) – re DFHs.

 
Privatize the Profits! Socialize the Costs!
 

You know, the more I think about this, the more I see into the soul of the rightwing crazy-lying soul.

What Prager is doing is blowing a lot of smoke to obscure the undisputed FACT that Rick and Karen Santorum terminated a pregnancy by choice. Prager and others of his ilk are like a Greek chorus trying to make discussion of that FACT taboo.

The Santorums’ sick bizarre family fetus-cuddling ritual was performed for two reasons: first to assuage their own guilt because they chose to terminate a pregnancy, and second, to provide a GOP-alternate-reality cover story that would be about their grief and not about their choice.

I keep emphasizing the word choice because of course fetus-fetishist Santorum (and possibly Prager—?) don’t believe that others should be allowed to make the same choice as the Santorums made… and they certainly don’t want anyone pointing out their spectacular hypocrisy.

So for PR, the only card they’ve got to play in this case is the “blame liberals” card.

So they play that card, and like shmucks we liberals take the bait and are incensed about how ridiculous the accusation is.

Meanwhile, Prager is quietly chuckling about what dupes liberals are for taking the bait.

Meanwhile, Santorum is relieved of detailed media grilling about the FACT that his family made a choice that he would deny to others— this is spectacular hypocrisy!!!—

Such media grilling is taboo, inappropriate and even rude because it’s just too painful for Santorum to talk about.

Regardless of the jokes we make here about what idiots guys like Prager and Santorum are, these guys are pretty damn clever at moving the goalposts on the media.

So, the eternal question about rightwingers has finally been answered—

They ain’t stupid. They’re lyin’.

 
 

So for PR, the only card they’ve got to play in this case is the “blame liberals*” card.

*Ultimately a dog whistle meaning uppity Negros, womenfolk, and male class and race traitors.
