Al Qaeda? Al Qaeda Al Qaeda, Al Qaeda. Al Qaeda Al Qaeda!
Glenn Greenwald has been documenting how reporting on the Iraq War has morphed into the restaurant scene in ‘Being John Malkovich’ … only with a more cynically selected protagonist.

Waiter: What can I bring you this evening?
Diner: Well, I’ll start with a Fuzzy Malkin to drink. Then, for an appetizer, I’d like the Althouse on the Half Shill. For my main course, Rocky Mountain Coulters. Finally, for desert, Onion Rings a la mode.
Waiter: We’re out of the Onion Rings. May I offer you our world-famous Schlussel Suprise?
Diner: No thanks, I hear that the manufacturer has ordered a recall on porcine vaginas.
Waiter: Very well, then, how about our Flaming Bush Twin Towers?
Diner: With cherries intact?
Waiter: Mais naturellement!
Diner: That will be great, thanks!

Don’t take this the wrong way, but I heard Glenn Ellerson is gay. Just sayin’.
Kevin said,
June 26, 2007 at 1:14
Funny Glenn info. You guys on the left know about his tendency to congratulate himself using a different name, right? I realize it’s only typical of leftish pundits, but to the right (we take honor a bit more seriously) it’s hilarious!
Kevin said,
June 26, 2007 at 1:23
Seriously Gavin, I’m getting pretty sick of seeing this. If you want me to continue to berate your readers for the non-forward looking hippies that they are, throw me a bone, huh? Upgrade your blog software to something that’s not chugging along on coal. It’s not expensive… in fact, most free sites will run faster.
In protest of your aged software, I shall now begin agreeing with silly hippies. Until you fix it.

June 26, 2007 at 1:25
yes kevin, understood. glenn may have sock-puppeted. therefore, everything he says doesn’t need to be read or comprehended.
of course, the non-sock puppetry might contain some information that could be of discomfort to a little punk piece of shit like you, but i guess you will never know. hint–there’s a reason why none of you wankers actually takes the guy’s facts and interpretations on–you get your collective asses handed to you.
fascist twerps like you are going to get a good old fashioned Doc Marten stomping sooner rather than later. i look forward to wearing the boots.
Kevin said,
June 26, 2007 at 1:32
Buck the trend, Bubba who’s righteous! Call it ‘Sweet Judy Blue Eyes’. Don’t let those hippies convince you to use their gramatically incorrect titles. Don’t bow down to the man! Even if he’s a weed smoking band, bereft of an understanding of the real world.

Rob, remember to start sentences with caps. It’s some kind of law.
(emphasis mine)
You jerk! Did you just call me ‘little’? I’ll hit you so hard your kids will be born dizzy!
But to be a tiny bit more serious, yes, the fact that he’s a shill for himself does indeed lessen his message. It’s clear he’s used sleazy tactics to promote himself, so why listen to him now? As crazy as Kos or Gavin are, at least they aren’t sleazy. Greenwald screwed up in such a way that makes his opinion completely meaningless. So yeah, I’m saying there is no benefit to either reading or comprehending what he says. He’s a typical narcisistic liberal, but he got caught! Feel free to take him seriously, but you’re on your own.

Marita–
We don’t use Troll-B-Gone any more. We use Have-A-Hah traps. When a troll says, for example, re: the right, “we take honor a bit more seriously,” we all have a good laff and then just ignore it. It’s more cruel that way, you see.

OK, I admit it: I followed Kevin’s link on the “Glenn Greenwald sock puppetry”…
Kevin, let’s discuss the concept of “sourcing”: if you’re making a claim about someone and include a link, the link should contain some kind of evidence–that would be that facty-stuff your ilk find so distasteful– relevant to said claim.

But, of course, everyone here knows you’re a craven little prick who has even now rejected his Lord and Savior, The Almighty Bushmaster! You little lemmings who love to mow your Mom’s lawn (If you know what I mean-nudge nudge wink).

The thing I notice is that when wingnuts slam Glenn it’s never on the facts,trolls immediately try to steer the conversation away from the content of his work. They call him shrill or link to that old lame ass sock puppet thing or say he’s making shit up,but I have yet to see any proof that he’s lying or wrong in what he’s writing about,ever. Unless I missed the time when someone really nailed Glenn on something he got totally wrong,and I’ve been around this here general part of the interwebs for a few years now. I don’t think it’s happened.
There’s pie? Can I have some of the fresh strawberry with whipped cream? Yum.

41. Percentage of Americans who believe “Saddam Hussein’s regime in Iraq was directly involved in planning, financing, or carrying out the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001,” according to a new Newsweek poll. The number is up 5 points from Sept. 2004. Twenty percent of Americans say they believe today that the U.S. has found chemical and biological weapons in Iraq.

Ok Dot, let’s discuss it! I was hopeful that you were as knowledgable on the subject as Robert Green is. It’s pretty common knowledge not to trust info coming from Glenn Ellers, or whaterver he calls himself. I assumed that the left was as in the know as the right. Was I mistaken? Before you force me to prove his scumbaggery, do you disbelieve me? I’m kind of lazy, but will quickly get the links proving what a scuzzball this guy if you doubt me. I suspect you don’t and in fact know he sucks. Eat your pie with pride. Simply say the word, and I’ll describe and link to the exact nature of Glenn Ellers Ellison Greenwald.
Marco opined: “You utterly useless coward…Do not got to Kevvie-baby’s blog. You will permanently lose twenty points off your IQ.”

Screw you, hippies. I find you VERY difficult to converse with. Maybe on the weekend when I’m hopefully drunk? Why the F don’t liberals ever study math?

Marco-ybaby asked: “Kevvie-baby, could you explain what the f^%! IQ has to do with D&D?”
Sure, if you cool it with the potty mouth. Marco-y-baby, any human attribute that is given a value (such as your -20 IQ comment) counts as gay enough to be considered a Dungeons And Dragons reference.

I think Kevvie-baby’s momma has sent him to bed. And, on that note I’d like to apologise for feeding the troll…it may be the five-dollars-a-twelve-pack-beer-flavoured-beverage talking, but the highly reactive nature of this particular prat can be made quite amusing…this troll is anybody’s bitch! As a lurker risking extreme censure, I propose attacking Kevvie-baby in the most puerile manner possible–he will respond first with hysteria and then by running away. Kevvie-baby is not made of the stern psychosis of a Dicklimpy, he is merely a little OCD baby.

Well, you know, wingnut pundits may be demonstrably factually wrong about everything they say, but at least they haven’t been accused of sock-puppetry, so we must believe them. Whereas Greenwald was once accused of that most heinous of Internet crimes, so no matter how accurate and cogent his writing, it must all be dismissed out of hand.
Right.

Wow. “Trying too hard” is my diagnosis. Kevin will be all tuckered out after that performance.
I actually sockpuppeted once, and once only, and all I did was rephrase some of the heinous crap some posters were putting up on a wingnut blog. The blogger caught me, though, and I’ve been banned from the site. I haven’t tried it since.
The weird thing, though, was that I was just saying the same stuff everyone else was saying.

As I understand it, though I’ve not read any actual info, just picked it up in passing, Greenwald’s boyfriend/roommate or someone posted approving comments to Greenwald’s blog under a fake name, & Greenwald was unaware of the whole thing. Not absolutely sure, but I read that somewhere.

Kevin Bacon Holding Playdoh said,

I see poor Kevin has finally decided he’s brave enough to return to his obsessional posting; he gave us a few days off, because even he had realised the trolling hat was wearing him, but now he’s back, and we’ll not notice the exact same traits if we’ve had a few days to forget what how shamefully degrading his previous behaviour was, right…? Sadly, and with genuine sadness it is too, no. Once you’ve shown abnormal behaviour, other people don’t forget just because you internally have enough time to persuade yourself you are back in control, Kevin. And what does you have to offer us with your latest set of compulsive-twitch posts? Slander against Glenn Greenwald which first turned up in the right wing blogosphere a few months ago. So it’s not even fresh material. Nor is the “I’m going now!” line; It might have been a genuinely decent troll if you’d stuck to one explanation of where you were going too, but you change it every week just trying to score a cheap lulz, so people neither believe your claims, nor even have a serious target to direct their hate towards anymore, which surely is the whole point of trolling. You can’t be annoyed with what you cannot define Kevin.
Poor, poor you, Kevin. You’re really to be pitied than scolded… you’ve made a blog now? People here are just making throwaway comments, but this really is your life now isn’t it? Please go ahead and tell us how impressive your life is; of course you are going to claim you are doing it at work, on their dollar… does it feel good to know you are so unimportant and underutilized you can do that? Of course, no one will believe a word of what you say anyway, so please feel free to waste time trying to justify today’s lie that you say your life is. We can all see the little man under the far too large trolling hat he’s trying to wear though. And when the public can see that, well it all becomes rather pointless to continue. But you’ll soon be making another hundred posts in an hour trying to persude us, and by extension, yourself that it does… carry on, little man, carry on struggling under your hat.

No idea, Kenga. Nate, Ace only linked to the facts. “Honestly, Kevin, explain to me slowly (my ears are plugged with dirt and patchouli) why you can talk fact-free shit for an entire thread and you think you’ve somehow made a point.”
Of course I can’t. How you call facts ‘fact-free sh*t” would be a better study though. The expose even comes with ip addresses proving both his location and the multiple ‘addaboy’ names he used. What more do you want Nate? A friggin camera in the dude’s house?
“For fun, let’s even say Glenn Greenwald definitely posted comments agreeing with himself under a false name. What does that prove about his arguments? Seriously. Or do you do that?”
Ok, let’s go that extra mile and say this is true (since it is… how white of you to be able to accept it). It means, he’s completely ok with lying. It means he lies. It means, when you hear what he says, you now have to research it to determine if it’s true, because we know him to be a liar. He could say something brilliant, but we have to take it with a grain of salt, or at least spend some time determining why he bothered to say it. Because he lies. I feel like I’ve said ‘lie’ often enough for you to get what I’m saying, huh? At this point, it seems like a good idea to say, ‘don’t lie, if you want to be believed or taken seriously’. Glenn didn’t know that law, and look at how it cost him!
Ek, totally! I get that you guys are really afraid of Glenn Beck so attempt to discredit him without actually discussing his viewpoints. I just don’t get why :(. Other than his religious convictions, which I care not a bit about, he seems like a fairly typical American (not a hippie-American… you know what I mean). What’s with all the hatred? Where’s the love, hippies? Where’s the love?
