Sorry, but your massive exercise in projection is an equally massive waste of time and effort. You can now go back to your balloon (a nice symbol for the liberal cocoon you live safely within) and continue to call the Right “racist” and “homophobic,” while comforting yourself that calling us this means that those bigoted, hateful feelings inside of you are okay, because you have an outlet for projecting them, while we continue with the serious business of non-racist, non-bigoted adult affairs.

As best I can follow it, a blogger named Sanchez attacked Beauchamp, then people attacked Sanchez for being teh ghai and now Ace and everyone else is suddenly dressing themselves up as paragons of gay-friendly sexual tolerance. Wonder how well that’s going to go over with the loyal homophobic gay-hating commenters?

Truly, this is amazing. The wingnuts’ screechings and accusations are being proved wrong one by one, but they seize on the one fact – that the alleged harassment of a female soldier with a melted face occurred in Kuwait rather than Iraq – and then stand on top of their Throne of Cheetos, pound their chests and shriek “VICTORY!!!”

Just following the “Mission Accomplished’ leader, I guess.

I wondered where that daleyrocks moran went. That guy used to be a pestilential blight on Greenwald’s old blog, but I don’t think he’s figured out how to comment at Salon yet. I hope no one tells him. Figures he’s found a home with Treason In Defense of Slavery Yankee.

I think the wingnuts are all just really disappointed that they didn’t manage to get Beauchamp (at the very least) tossed in teh brig. I’ll bet that they’d secretly prefer to have him Tillmaned, but they’d settle for solitary. I’m sure that getting his computer and phone seized by the military authorities was pretty cool for them (so much awesum!1!! another victory for citizen journamalism!!!), but not nearly as gratifying as getting another ‘non-existent’ actual person (Jamil Hussein) jailed by the Iraqi government was.

mikey

Ace’s latest is to ‘out’ Beauchamp while tearfully decrying the left’s focus on Sanchez’s sexuality.

Right, cuz every time someone’s personal account of their own experience appears in print, the appropriate response is to send out operatives to find out if it really happened.

But enough about that. Let me tell you about how my faith was strengthened when I heard the story of George W. Bush praying with a young person who approached him spontaneously during a visit to his town. That was inspiring for me, was it inspiring for you?

They were rather polite, though, in my one face-to-face encounter with them, a band of perhaps two to three hundred ensconced in what we called “Flagland”–a fluttering, made-in-Taiwan, leather-scented utopia from which they could defend the Vietnam Memorial from hippie moonbats such as myself and my GF. They didn’t try to stop us from traversing their territory or breaking through their line to join the far larger crowd of marching lefty traitor patchouli-stinkin types.

A few of them even broke ranks, and from snippets of conversation I overheard I got the impression that a number of those guys were essentially on the moonbat side regarding Iraq, but just weren’t admitting it to themselves due to sincerely believing that the marchers hate the troops and America. And a few managed to get themselves disabused from those notions, and were welcomed.

There were no reports of marchers defecting to the GoE.

Mr Wonderful: Big bonus points for mentioning phlogiston. I think phlogiston should be worked into conversation whenever possible.
