I Guess Bryan Will Have To Come Over Here
Above: We were sad that this disappeared!
Apparently, someone’s quite sensitive about something. After a fairly trouble-free afternoon, in which we followed our usual policy of being collegial and nice to everyone while on sites not our own (we take this very seriously), we were banned at HotAir 1.32 seconds after mentioning the foundation money and the paychecks.
Of course, since we’re now banned from the HotAir forums, we have no way of saying anything anymore.
Oh, wait.
Because, wouldn’t it be interesting if Malkin and HotAir’s readers didn’t know that it was all a foundation-funded operation…?
If only we had Lexis-Nexis.
Um. Oh, wait…
UPDATE: Bryan put the comments back up (see screen-cap above) and said this:
So we have a lying smear artist among us accusing us of deleting comments and being paid by a foundation, both of which are false accusations. Eeeenteresting. That kind of thing is actionable, ya know.
As for “Sal,� you want to be banned? That can be arranged. But I’m content to watch you hang yourself first. I know you’re a sock puppet, and I’m pretty sure I know who you actually are. You’re not too skilled at covering your tracks. So be a good little boy and buzz off before you cross a line.

I guess since you were banned it’s fair to say that Michelle at least implicitly approves of the messages that are there. Sounds like contest time to me, find your favorite Hot Air glennicidal comments!

It’s really hard to keep straight how these guys define “smear.” I thought telling the truth about people was, by Malkin’s definition, not a smear.
JK47 said,

So wait, do they take foundation money or not? Evidence? Forgive me if I’m a little slow on this one… It’s a little tough to sort through the Malkin miasma sometimes.

This kills me. I mean, words almost fail me. Plainly, a “sock puppet” “named” “Sal Leno” is very concerned with covering their tracks.
His cool poise is admirable, though. He could “out” Sal, but for now he’s content to make ominous threats.

If there’s one thing funnier than people threatening to beat other people up on the internet, it’s the “I’ll sue you” bullshit. Much like the guy in the bar talking tough, I’m pretty sure that anybody who might actually sue someone would never tell them he was gonna sue them. Plus, it’s always over something so silly that I can’t even imagine what the judge would say if the case actually came before him/her. But it would NOT be pretty…

The internets have grown so sophisticated that “I’m gonna track down ur address and beat you up irl, dick” has been replaced by “IMA SUE YOU FOR LIBEL AND GARNISH YOUR WAGES FOREVER!!1!! ps My brother in law is a lawyer,” as the greatest, most frequent, hollowest threat made. How quickly you can get to “IMA SUE UR ASS” is a nice objective measure of one’s ability to reduce the other party to flatulence.

um. i hate to say this, but this is a really stupid internet slap fight.
if hotair receives foundation money, they should certainly be forthcoming about that with their audience, but they would be in no way unique on that account. lots of groups with various purposes are foundation financed in whole or in part – so what?
if you want some foundation money, just incorporate as a non-profit, file the appropriate documents with the taxman, and plan to dedicate half your man-hours to filing grant applications. if Hotair is the kind of wingnut welfare fully-funded and staffed enterprise you imply (which i have no reason to doubt) the equation is only different insofar as they don’t have to go begging and can thus allocate their resources more effectively. but again, so what?
further, there are pretty complicated regulations regarding the application of non-profit funds to political advocacy, and further regulations that apply if that advocacy primarily takes the form of media campaigning. so, if hotair receives foundation money there has to be a trail of public documents a mile wide. why not just find and post the data somewhere and be done with it?

um, seriously though… i honestly can’t tell through the haze of sarcasm: what’s the point here? where would those moving goalposts have started, and, mikey, which strawman?
um… of course Hotair is a wingnut welfare smar outlet, but um… so what? is anyone surprised? are they not forthcoming about their funding with their (fucktard) audience? if not, so what? so just someone go get the fucking IRS disclosure forms – i used to have easy access to those type of document through a previous job but no longer do – and post them and be done with it. but what the fuck would that prove anyway, and to who, exactly? hotair’s audience doesn’t give a shit who funds them: these people watch MALKIN for fuck’s sake, why should truth or objectivity enter into their considerations? SN! audience is already pretty well acquainted with the workings of wingunut welfare, so why should Hotair be of special interest?
and frankly, there’s nothing particularly unique in the deleting/undeleting/banning/unbanning practices of Hotair. it’s their site, and their standards of discourse apply. is anyone surprised that they ban and delete shit they don’t like?
what exactly am i missing here?

(OT at the start, then sort of on) Gentlewoman: Which feline is represented at the “thumbsnap” link? I haven’t written anything about it yet on my blog, but I lost my girl (Miss Jessica) Dec 22nd & am now without anyone to boss me around for the first time in decades (and I’m the type that needs a pretty strong paw steering the way). My best wishes to you & the cats.
http://zhakora.com/miss-jessica.jpg (she often supervised my work, you see …)
& to change the topic completely: I was just wondering — as much as I enjoy the way the SN team manages to .. er .. deconstruct many of the more inane writings / postings / miscellaneous offal that the right-wing brings us, I am not quite sure how any of you can stand to visit the sites and read the screeds and so on without getting a migraine. I made the mistake of responding to post at Confederate Yankee the other day in which, as near as I can tell, CY’s response to my comment endorsed plagiarism over the well-known uncivil discourse of the unhinged left. I was also accused of building a “straw-man” because I suggested that writers take someone stealing their work a little more seriously than someone dropping, say, the f-bomb. (Not that I ever would, of course.) More than 24 hours later, I am still nonplussed at the total inanity of the response.
I can only imagine you drink lots of beer. (?)

That’s not even sock puppetry. Sock puppetry isn’t just posting under a pseudonym. It’s posting under one pseudonym while talking about how your other pseudonym is the shit. If Gavin posted as Sal Leno and kept going on about how smart those guys over at Sadly, No! are, that’s sock puppetry. Posting as Sal Leno and calling Bryan a fascist is just normal internet behavior.

i don’t mind internet slapfights, i just prefer that they have some actual point ostensibly at issue. e.g. making fun of patsy is fun if it’s ’cause he threatened to out tbogg in a way that actually accomplished that outing and then pretended that he didn’t just do that and then threw a hissy fit trying to reclaim the moral high ground. that was funny.
this is just stupid. if you have proof, post it, go over there and link back to it, and call it a day. otherwise, there’s no there there – so some winger got hysterical after you went over there and antagonized them. neat. is the point that they got hysterical? that’s their entire lifestyle.

And usually on a thread like this, which has already degenerated into a state of such confusion that I am unsure what we were supposed to be discussing.
Just a friendly heads-up: When Teh Felines show up, the thread is officially dead and it’s time to bail. ;)

I’ve heard the RopeaDope Foundation is quietly helping to provide meaningless internet job opportunities to the chronically unemployable in the real world. For a generous stipend, one only has to demonstrate the ability to transcribe faxed talking points and post same with unconscionably enthusiastic endorsement. Funding is sketchy, but appears to have been established from a donation of $8.8BB received from the Republican Party back in ‘04.

Seriously, why isn’t the pork=kryptonite ace-in-the-hole being employed against islamoterrorism both domestically and abroad?
Pardon me while I vent….
a) Because the Gen. Pershing story is a MYTH you idiots! A Muslim that dies in war is considered religiously clean. The obvious–even to a wingnut–reason is that it allowed Muslims to leave their dead where they fell on the field of battle, rather than wasting time gathering them up and preparing them ritualistically for burial. But it also has the side benefit of showing up these Cheeto-stained right-wing morons for the idiots they are.
b) If you had pig fat on it, it would melt off with the hot gas which makes the bullet fly and the gun go boom! And lastly point C….
c) It will make your gun jam!
This has been another episode of Gun Basics for Five Year-Olds and Wingnuts.
If it ever comes to a shooting war with the wingnuts, I’ll wear a kefiyeh when I fight. They’ll think I’m a Muslim, and they’ll grease up their bullets and jam their guns.

Hot Air stimulates the hypothalami of wingnuts. Tis the circle of life.
And here I thought it was the circle of jerk.

The fact is that “Sal” hurls these accusations at HotAir and then disappears because he is a coward. The blogger who libels under a false name, and the suicide bomber who kills himself so that he will never face justice, are cut from the same cloth.

Can Bryan come over to our yard to play today, please ?
My mother said it’s alright, so long as he poos in the house where he’s sposed to.

Well Marita,
It doesn’t look like Patrick Frey (Patterico) wants to debate me. Maybe if you can add Steak and Lobster (Punch and Pie) to the party he”ll come over here and debate me, but probably not. Oh Well.

You were not ever banned. Comments at HotAir are frequently delayed before they appear.

Gentlewoman: That is tragic news about your companion’s impossible dream. I would suggest showing him an atlas, but it’s been my experience that the information flow with felines is decidedly one way — from them to us, and almost never the other way about. I suspect that if we didn’t have thumbs, they’d have no use for us whatsoever.
Are “teh felines” the chaps that occasionally make an appearance in blog posts here? A handsome white fella driving a VW, et al? In any case, thanks for the heads up. I don’t post often anywhere these days. (Though I think Brad is sort of a neighbor …)
Your fella looks both handsome and greatly superior — & I truly do hope that all goes well for you & yours.
cheers,
zhak

Oh dear. I didn’t mean any offense, EGN, truly. (If you look at Miss Jessica’s link, above, you’ll see that she wasn’t very white either. In fact it seriously pissed her off to be a member of multiple long-suppressed minorities & gosh, don’t get me started on her mood around Halloween. Boy howdy!) I was referring to occasional blog posts featuring cats, who make food runs for the SN! crew so that they can carry on the good fight while typing typing typing & almost never leaving their lairs … one of those cats was a white boy, if memory serves.
Mehitabel the Abyssinian said,

Zhak, you are thinking of the Kitty Minions who spend their time labouring in the SN research laboratories. Occasionally they are brought out en masse during cuteness wars with the Poorman Institute, when they swarm through the interducts like so many — umm — flying simian things.
They should not be confused with us, however. If you make the same mistake again, I will track you down and drool on you. I will sink my claws deep into your knee, while wearing an expression of such entranced bliss that you will convince yourself that I am doing it out of misplaced affection.
You are probably used to this from Miss Jessica.
mdhatter said,
February 11, 2007 at 12:57
Thanks Ted, though ‘assed’ is definitely a british verb.
It’s not popular here because conjugation of it is illegal in some states.
The Commissar said,
February 11, 2007 at 14:29
Gavin,
My comments at Hot Air frequently seem to disappear upon posting, and then, after some interval, which I don’t really check, they re-appear. For all I know, maybe some of them don’t.
Presumably there is comment moderation going on, either automated or manual. It never would have occurred to me to care.
The notion that your comment was malignantly deleted and then, under your fierce documentation and ‘calling them out,’ reinstated is trivial and unfounded and just bizarre. Do you regularly get into shouting matches with random strangers on the bus because “they were looking at you funny?”
That’s the level you’re at here.
