Get A Brain, Moran
to pry him out of his chair.
Rick Moran, who already has chair sores on his butt from all the time he spends posting five-thousand-word wingnut screeds at his own aptly-named blog, is adding a few more lesions to his capacious keister by regularly posting to the less aptly-named blog at The American “Thinker.” In one of his most recent posts there, Moran is spewing his usual fast-food-flecked spittle and bile over those perfidious fags who are boycotting Proposition Eight supporters
Rather than trying to change their opinion, [the homos] are making these people enemies for life. And carrying out pogroms like this against people who oppose gay marriage based on their religious beliefs borders on bigotry.
Let me see if I have this straight. Companies that bankroll a divorce-by-plebiscite of tens of thousands of married gay couples in California aren’t bigots. Instead these companies are the victims of a “pogrom” by bigoted gays who choose to spend their money with companies that won’t support laws enshrining second-class citizenship for gays
Pogrom, indeed. Listen, you super-sized scumbag, when mobs of rioting gay people start burning houses and killing Mormons, then get back to me with this “pogrom” nonsense. In the meantime, why don’t you explain to me why a gay boycott of anti-gay businesses gets your man boobs in a twist, while the American Family Association’s boycott of gay-friendly businesses like Ford, McDonald’s, Hallmark and Disney goes unmentioned by you. I suppose the answer is that a future without Big Macs and super-sized fries is just too dismal for you to contemplate.
[Thanks, Tbogg]
Listen, you super-sized scumbag
Sticks and stones may break his bones, and would be a decent start.
And that still wouldn’t be a pogrom.
If someone could somehow infect Moran and his ilk with self-awareness, he’d kill himself out of shame.
Actually, I bet you’d have to infect him with shame, too.
Let’s not forget the Prop H8 supporters who attempted to blackmail business who had donated to the anti-8 cause into donating to them as wll (and demanding even more money for their side).
I want to say he boycotted Dunkin Donuts after seeing Rachel Ray’s scarf, but that picture says Sadly, No.
Wow…so this pogrom would be like the gay version of Red State’s “Project Leper”?
Guys, be nice. Moran is just scared, because he knows he won’t last a month in the Pink Reich’s interior design and outfit make-over concentration camps. His broken, lifeless body will be dumped in a mass grave behind the Frank Lloyd Wright designed building where they teach how to make fabulous looking meals that taste amazing but won’t break your wallet.
Why am I not surprised by the lack of tolerance for a different point of view by you liberals? Just business as usual in the “Reality Based Community.”
So I take it all is forgiven and I can return as an object of ridicule without cautionary tales of fat suits and malls?
“Why am I not surprised by the lack of tolerance for a different point of view by you liberals? Just business as usual in the “Reality Based Community.”

Yes Cliff , you are infringing upon Moran’s first amendment rights by calling him out . Just ask Sarah .
You are also trampling upon bigots’ right to be bigoted .
The sad thing is that I consider Rick to be one of the more reasonable wingnuts, at least compared to Ace of Spades, the Redstate crew, the Corner etc…

FOOD, GLORIOUS FOOD
Is it worth the waiting for?
If we live ’til eighty-four
All we ever get is gru…el!
Ev’ry day we say our prayer —
Will they change the bill of fare?
Still we get the same old gru…el!
There’s not a crust, not a crumb can we find,
Can we beg, can we borrow, or cadge,
But there’s nothing to stop us from getting a thrill
When we all close our eyes and imag…ine
Food, glorious food!
Hot sausage and mustard!
While we’re in the mood
Cold jelly and custard!
Pease pudding and saveloys!
What next is the question.
Rich gentlemen have it, boys:
In-di-gestion!
Oooo no, teh gheys are making “enemies for life” out of a church who spent over ten years plotting how to attack them on this issue alone and who up until 1978 practiced open racist discrimination against African-Americans, refusing to allow them into leadership positions (including not letting black kids have any leadership roles in the Boy Scouts) until they were threatened with federal lawsuits and their tax exempt status was dragged into question.
Oh, yes, by all means, let’s stop the protests and be BFF.
You liberals talk about how much you love equality but you see no shame in insulting any number of fast food sandwiches and I don’t see any of you standing up for the rights of conservative bloggers to marry their foods of choice. Hmpf.
It’s just like Kishinev in 1903! Okay,without all the killing and burning and looting, but other than that, the same thing!
Putting this into perspective, one of the places gays are considering boycotting is the Cinemark chain of movie theatres, which might result in an increase in the price of wagon-wheel size tubs of popcorn slathered in slimy butter-like gloop.
Hence, Mr. Moran’s interest in the subject.
Rather than trying to change their opinion, [the homos] are making these people enemies for life. And carrying out pogroms like this against people who oppose gay marriage based on their religious beliefs borders on bigotry.
Which is it, Rick – opinion, or religious belief?
Heh.
Pogrom (n): “Mob attack, condoned by authorities, against persons and property of a religious, racial, or national minority.”
Having lost in Iraq, having lost the election, I’m glad to see conservatives going back to doing battle with their first, most natural enemy: the English language.
Why don’t any of these retards have a spell-check? That is seriously, SERIOUSLY annoying.
Would that be a gay or gay married Big Mac?
Shorter Rick Moran:
We appalling bigots are appalled that you would call us on our bigotry.
How flattering to be recognised !
The Homo’s chose love (bad)
A horror to those who choose cheese (good !)
By dint of effort ceasless
Will be the larger issue
Till you pry the cheesies from largish cold dead fingers (so sad)
I guess the Homo’s should invest in Cheesies , sweeties and snacks (sneaky)
Fren’s fer life !
Then put out the Fruit Cocktail (Veddy crool)
Vanilla cream pies may have civil rights Chocolate cream pies may not. Meringue pies are not allowed to marry. Banana crean pies don’t have to pay taxes.
When will we know that all pies are equal?
So they’re publicly posting information that’s freely available to the public? Those nefarious bastards!
I’m still waiting for the cries of “Glory to God!” due to the recent fires. The devastation is obviously God’s comment on their passsage of Prop 8. I mean, Orange fucking County fer chrissake! Praise the Lord!
When will we know that all pies are equal?
When we all have pie in the sky, bye and bye. (It’s a lie, It’s a lie)*
* With apologies to my homeboy Woody
I have declared that Mormons are not allowed to marry. The one true Catholic church, and all that. Their marriages are null and void, and they can have civil unions if they want legal rights.
The world must obey me. Starting….now.
If a company made substantial donations to Hamas or Hezbollah, would he expect Jews to keep patronizing that company?

What? You actually expect consistency from a conservative? Besides, them’s scary AY-rabs, not good God fearin’ Christian (or at least Christiany) white folks.
I want to bring together some of my younger compatriots in a cabal. The idea is, they stay closeted, marry a bunch of Mormon girls and THEN come out. All together now…
In the spirit of Proposition Me with H8, instead of starting “now” the ban on Mormon marriages would have to be retroactive to December 23, 1805.

Which of course means all those Mormons are just a bunch of bastards. But then, you already knew that.
In the spirit of equal time I think we should apply the same principles to the second largest sponsor of Prop H8 – the Catholic Church.
I’m detecting a flaw in your plan PeeJ. Those Mormon girls might actually expect you to father lots and lots of children.
Shorter William Teach:
Your intolerance for my raging bigoted intolerance means that you are the real intolerant ones! Bwa-ha-ha, Arghhhh! Avast ye scurvy liberal dogs, etc.
Waaah! When people defend themselves against people who attack them it makes the attackers the victims!!
The bigotry is bad, the whining because their bullshit isn’t acceptable like it was in “the good old days,” is infuckingtolerable. That’s why when anyone talks about a return to “traditional values,” you should kick them in the junk. Not too hard, just hard enough to serve as a warning that attempts to affect such a return will be really painful.
Blacks are the real racists, gays are the real bigots, and sexism only actually works against men. Also, the ones with real, unchecked power in this country are unions, college professors, and community organizers.
Here’s what they Morans of the world think: “Now that we’ve lied and sleezed our way to a bare majority of proposition voters by throwing 40 million bucks and an army of fear-mongering door knockers at California voters (mostly coming from out-of-state), that means the culture war is over and we won. The people have spoken, so all you pansy hairdressers and child-molesting, bare-ass chaps wearing perverts need to STFU, go back to your ghettos and hide yourselves from the eyes of decent people’s children like you used to, so we never have to turn on the 10 o’clock news and say “Ewww, gross!” ever again.”
Ipso Fatso
There is no lack of tolerance here, you blithering idiot. Mormons, Catholics and gay-hating evangelicals are welcome, nay, encouraged, to never, ever marry someone of the same sex. Find me one gay (or liberal) person who thinks that straight people should be forced to marry anyone.
Have a libertarian friend explain it to you: the most fundamental right of a citizen in a free society is the right to be left alone. You do what you want, I do what I want, and as long as nobody is getting hurt, then we should stay out of each other’s business.
How much more conservative do you want?
Yes, well, being the multi-millionaire owner of a large record label isn’t very punk either.
Still, you can’t argue with a song about EPA standards.
Doh, wrong thread.
Nevermind….
At least they’re giving the Massive World-Wide Jewish Control bullshit a rest.
“…when mobs of rioting gay people start burning houses and killing Mormons, then get back to me with this ‘pogrom’ nonsense.”
I love it…thanks!
Also, the ones with real, unchecked power in this country are unions, college professors, and community organizers.
Damn! You mean I am in charge of running the world and nobody thought to tell me? No wonder everything is going to hell. Now where did I put the broom, dustpan. and mop. I am going to have to do some serious cleaning up around here.
standing up for the rights of conservative bloggers to marry their foods of choice. Hmpf.
Can they help it if they eventually return to their childhood sweethearts? The ones that have stood by them through thick, attempts to be thin, and morbid obesity?
Oh and since I am now officially Emperor of the Universe, I hereby consign Troofy and all his fellow rightwing racist fickwits, with all their heirs and assigns unto the seventh generation, to perpetually clean the toilets at the Tuskegee Institute with their tongues.
Unions, college professors, and community organizers are actually the public face of unchecked power, but they are in the end tools. The force behind them—the one with the real power, the one that’s really calling the shots—is the Homosexual Agenda. I know this because I just read a fascinating, compelling book about their elders’ protocols.
And I get to hear it all, in a watered down form, every time I foregather with my relatives. I’ve watched my MIL and FIL be slowly poisoned in retirement by cable TV and talk radio. The kids are the worst, they took wing-nutitity, the processed and officially sanctioned version, in with their mother’s milk, and thought they were imbibing an appropriate political attitude. Nobody ever told them anything different. All political discussions take place from the poor-aggrieved-persecuted-WHITE-people viewpoint. And the idea that casting themselves thus doesn’t exactly show them to their best advantage isn’t on the table. They’ve never known a white person, no matter how successful, who does not posit themselves a victim of the government’s benevolence and favoritism for minorities. In fact, they would consider that attitude an indicator of success.
Well, I shouldn’t be taking time up with my personal complaints. Sorry.
Hey Mooser –
Move up here to Montana or to my native state of Oklahoma. There are whole states full of those jackoffs.
I’m detecting a flaw in your plan PeeJ. Those Mormon girls might actually expect you to father lots and lots of children.
Well, that can be fixed with a little snippity-snip. The real problem with PeeJ’s plan is that you would never get a self-respecting queen anywhere near those stupid magic underpants that Mormons wear. If the church had magic chaps …
See this YouTube clip about Matt Taibbi’s “The Great Derangement”
Community Organizers?!?!? I scoff upon that! Now where’s my rifle?
If the church had magic chaps …
Oooh. That’s an interesting twist we can include. And jock straps – there must be jock straps!
mmmmm, jock straps…..
Pogrom, indeed. Listen, you super-sized scumbag, when mobs of rioting gay people start burning houses and killing Mormons, then get back to me with this “pogrom” nonsense.
Anti-Prop 8 badgers have been destroying Montana towns in revenge stampedes.
Anti-Prop 8 badgers have been destroying Montana towns in revenge stampedes.
Only in eastern Montana. Here in the People’s Republic of Missoula they are dancing in the streets under the rainbow banner. Besides I heard it was the gay prairie dogs that took out Glendive and Miles City. They were just too embarrassed to admit it.
Okay,without all the killing and burning and looting, but other than that, the same thing!
Central to the point.
Without any brief for Moran, I’m unclear that “ha ha you’re fat” strengthens an argument.
Speaking of bigotry.
Also, isn’t the Anti-Defamation League supposed to issue a standard complaint when someone diminishes the idea of a pogrom?
The fact is, I think your a butt.
…DrDick is out in force today!
look up “out in force” – then pick another idiom (idiot)
I’m unclear that “ha ha you’re fat” strengthens an argument.
If it was good enough to discredit Michael Moore and Al Gore, it’s good enough for this guy.
I call fake Troof.
This one isn’t even trying to be irritating.
my analysis of Prop 8
trite, irrelevant, kind of hard to argue
Ok, so this Truth either has some kind of personality disorder or there are two of him on this thread.
Frankly I find him to be a boring representation of a typical right-winger. Not worth engaging.
The dweeb thinks that he’s intimidating people? This shit just gets weirder and weirder.

Typical Rightard delusions of adequacy. Personally I find his over the top man crush rather tedious and tiresome. He can’t understand that I just am not all that into him. If he had half a brain I might engage him, but unfortunately that organ is totally missing. I have seen retarded stoner freshmen with better analytical skills and insight. Ignore him and he will eventually go a way.
“Bile” is so last month.
If you try “spewing,” none of the cool kids will talk to you any more.
Oops, you did say “spewing”!
You have to spend a month posting in kitteh before we’ll forgive you.
I think you all know it is true.
…and you’re conceding “trite and irrelevant”?
Troofie –
I am sorry that you flunked out of the community college and are doomed to clean toilets for the rest of your life, but that has nothing to do with me. Your “explanation” of Prop H8 clearly reveals the reasons for your failure. Prop H8 passed because of a multimillion dollar intervention by the very conservative Mormon and Catholic churches. Talk to me again when you have some tenuous grip on reality. Your obsession is really quite tiresome and unenlightening.
Even the slower members of the thread are acknowledging it
look up “acknowledge”
Well douchebag Truth is back. What the hell is with this obsession thing? Is Twoofie a failed academic or something?
D.N. Nation said,
Blacks are the real racists, gays are the real bigots, and sexism only actually works against men. Also, the ones with real, unchecked power in this country are unions, college professors, and community organizers.
Great summary of social conservatism. I’d add: The U.S. is, and has always been, a Christian nation with a majority Christian population and therefore Christians are a persecuted minority subjected to, ahem, pogroms and the like.
Oh, and that the Rule of Law is paramount and under constant threat, so we have to give retroactive immunity and dictatorial powers to the current president. But not the next one.
Can you please explain, Professor, how churches can buy a vote?
What are you, completely ignorant? Why do you think the presidential campaigns (raise and) spend hundreds of millions of dollars? Just to pass the time? As I said elsewhere – get a brain.
Und vy ar ve now in Ismaning, bitte?
What are you, completely ignorant?
Yes. This has been another edition of ….
Probably also a failed academic. That is the only reason I can think of for this vituperative obsession.
Oh and John Stuart Mill was wrong, they really are all stupid.
Mi but hurtz!
they aren’t man boobs, they are junkfood titties
I only ever knew one other guy that had such a big ol’ hateboner for academia for no apparent reason, and he was a Second Life-playing libertarian IT consultant, so T.T. is in good company here.
Most apropos wingnut name EVAR.
Boycott = pogrom?
Yeah, I bet the Roma in Europe would get a real chuckle out of that analogy, as would the tiny population of elderly European Jewish folks … golly gee, I wonder why there’re so awfully few of them?
As usual, you missed the point.
Prop 8 itself was never the real strategic objective, except for the fanatics who championed it – Republican vote-pumping was the goal. The GOP was using their Moral Majority cadres’ homophobia in an attempt to stir up partisan support by raising same-sex marriage at the tail-end of a lame election campaign – it seemed to work like a charm in 2004, if you can remember that far back.
This time it bombed, much like your “analysis” has done here.
Unless it gets overturned, the GOP will have one less hot-button issue to hijack next time they’re hard-up for votes, & it’s a big one … which is why you should be careful what you wish for.
Not really. For one thing, it’s not an analysis. It’s just you pulling shit out of your capacious ass.
But thanks for acknowledging that this place is reality-based. It’s more than anyone can say for you, your incongruous moniker notwithstanding.
(You did ask what we think. Don’t blame us if you don’t like the answers.)
N.C. –
I have known several over the years – they tend to float around college towns. Always asshats who flunked out and blame their professors. Troofie is probably mad because some prof who had the temerity to tell him he was full of shit, that the Stormfront and the Protocols of the Elders of Zion are not credible sources, and he cannot even begin to construct a logical argument.
Shit, DrDick, I think Troofie’s in my 8:00 English 101 this term.
Apologies in advance for the odd comment – my head’s going extra-spinny, and I’m rather discombobulated.
DrDick is a slimy on-campus bully who can’t stand being called out. Note his reference to the one arena where he can act superior: the campus where freshman have to kowtow to him.
Who is this Fresh Man, and where can I get one?
Maybe universities in the US are different, but the ones here in Oz certainly weren’t thronged with fresh young things bobbing forehead to pavement and chanting “Maan seoi, maan seoi, maan maan seoi” when a lecturer strolls by. In fact, it’s hard to tell which is which, most of the time, given that most people tend to dress in jeans (a fact that Teh Tosspot would probably claim is due to kowtowing or groupthink or maybe university cooties, but is actually due to the fact that jeans are (1)cheap, (2) comfortable, and (3) don’t get harmed when you lie about on the lawns instead of going to lectures, which was one of the main activities when I was at uni.
I am happy to engage people who disagree with me (see the thread above) but for a pathetic groupthinker like DrDick, I guess I am intimidating.
Groupthink? It’s pretty clear that Mr Knobhead has never been at uni, because there’s bugger-all groupthink, except in thoughts like “Eating shit is not a good idea”.
Not that university students don’t investigate, of course. There was a fine tradition in my day off something called Faarcing – Foul Animal Acts Round Campus, which was an event put on each year in orientation week by the Science Association. It consisted of a series of tough challenges like eating a pie floater**, drinking a pint of warm beer, going for a long run, eating something else completely disgusting, and so on – last man standing (or not throwing up) was the winner.
The idea of university people all marching in line and doing what they’re told is so foolish I have to assume it was a deliberate satire: nobody who’s ever been part of a university could suggest that groupthink is part of the deal. Committees, yes. Long, drawn out, and exceedingly boring arguments at times, yes. All manner of peculiarities, yes. But not groupthink.
Oh, and Mr Knobhead also can’t seem to see the difference between being intimidated and being bored – I can feel the tedium sleeting off the page from here, so I can’t imagine why he can’t feel it. Perhaps he’s just very, very stupid.
**Note for non-Australians: the pie floater is what passes for a local culinary specialty. It tells you a lot about the Australian mind, and more about the Australian digestive system.
Please insert a closing parenthesis in the above comment, wherever you think it should fit.
Just Alison –
Can’t say that I have ever had a freshman kowtow in my 20 years of teaching. Did have a few nod off, however. American academics are much the same. We love to argue. Sort of a standing joke in the field that it is difficult to get any two anthropologists to agree on where the sun rises.
They have no problem shoving their brand of superstition down everyone else’s throat, but woe to the miniority that seeks equal rights in a nation founded on the principle that “,,,all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” Notice that the statement does not end with “except for homosexuals”. How American are those who seek to deny equal rights to their fellow Americans?
I missed the part where you proved black voters are responsible for Prop. 8 passing. Or is it one those things that must be true because the mainstream (so-called liberal) media says it over and over again and thus does not need to proven, merely repeated?

Hoosier, Troofie’s just desperately hammering away on the “It wasn’t us! It was those brown people you like so much! Don’t you feel betrayed? Don’t you want to get back at them?” wedge. It’s misdirection. We’re not supposed to look at the tons of cash behind H8 and the source of said cash. We’re supposed to believe an exit poll that only questioned about 200 people is representative of hundreds of thousands of voters.
I blame the black Mormons for the passage of Prop. 8.
And the Clintons.
The woman sitting next to him looks so-o-o-o happy!
“Yeesh, I coulda been a liberal! I coulda been sitting next to some hunk at the Daily Kos conference. But no-o-o-o-o!!!! I hadda be a conservative!!! I hadda listen to my well-meaning buddies who assured that conservatives were the future!!! #$@%@&&!!!!”
I love how The Truth was so completely, utterly, astoundingly wrong about every single thing leading up to and including the election, but now believes an academic is “intimidated” by his questions and that “liberals” find his assertions hard to refute.
What a tiny, sad little person he must be in real life.
Just Allison,
I went to that link, and I think it’s pie floater for dinner tonight at the Honus household, with venison.
This is starting to get really sad. I think you’re starting to think that these are the equivalents of ‘friends’.
Fake or not, you’re not a ‘parody’ troll because you’re simply uninteresting. But it seems to highly motivate you, so, have at it.
Seriously, despite the fact that I use it every day, I have no fucking idea what this word “polite” means. I must have it confused with “insulting”, or “condescending”, or “intentionally misleading”.
it’s hardly comfort to my gay friends, but the closeness of Prop. 8 proves that gay marriage is an inevitability. It’s the old and the devout who voted in favor of it. Both of those population groups are dying out.
For someone to think that it’s a triumph that blacks — as devout a segment of the population as there is — largely voted against it, is only a reflection of his eternal obsession with hate. He needs us to hate people the way he does. I’m content in hating ideas, rather than groups and am willing to fight on those terms. Yes, it’s ironic that many — but by no means all — blacks don’t see the parallels between this and their own struggles to marry, but it’s by no means settled. Better communication on both sides can help bridge that divide.
Better still, the non-religious pillars of the black community, black politicians and most civil rights organizations — were supporters of the No on 8 campaign.
But some want to game the stats, some want to claim victory for their own decaying ideas of gays, some want to sew discord on the Left — as if we have the same blind obedience as those on the right and don’t fight on a regular basis — and some are just happy that in a grim world, they can enjoy the feeling that real people are in pain for no fucking reason whatsoever.
So, liberals, your answer is basically – nothing.
Lie.
“Money buys everything” cries ckc, and “it was a Republican gambit” snarls Canadian Jim. And yet the idea that the passing of Prop 8 is a possible unintended consequence of liberal GOTV goes unexamined. Hits rather close to home, doesn’t it liberals?
Lie.
And DrDick continues to flop around, avoiding the point and insisting that my contempt for him has to be rooted in some academic or economic failure. I almost feel sorry for the smarmy academic. I’ll tell my funny post-college story in a day or two.
Lie.
This is so much easier than actually engaging you. You proved Friday that you’re a liar, all that has to be determined is “bald faced” or “asshat”…
Can we vote?
I choose “asshat.”
Can we vote?
I choose “asshat.”
I vote “mugwump”.
…Wait, what are we voting for?
“If it was good enough to discredit Michael Moore and Al Gore”
It wasn’t. Is it your point that we should act like the jerks who attacked them?
@ Loneoak
The real problem with PeeJ’s plan is that you would never get a self-respecting queen anywhere near those stupid magic underpants that Mormons wear. If the church had magic chaps …
A clever quip, but I can tell you from first hand experience that you are wrong. Stripping those temple garments off a sexy, willing Mormon guy is exceedingly hot.
He’s the evil Roger Ebert.
