Through the Looking Glass
A case of mass Obamanoia is raging through Wingnutistan and seems to have pushed some of our favorite wingnuts through the looking glass to that place where up is down, war is peace, and stupidity is genius. You know, that place where Jonah Goldberg is a model for Calvin Klein briefs, where Pastor Swank is a chaired faculty member of Yale, and where K-Lo’s latest book The Joy of No Sex is a runaway bestseller. Here are three recent examples, each presented without further comment.
And I’ll tell you something funny: I think there has been more partisan politics in New York concert halls lately than I notice in the offices of National Review!
Pastor David “Who Would Jesus Torture” Stokes:
In fact, it is commonplace for American personnel to be the recipients of abuse meted out by the Guantánamo detainees.
The idea that our nation’s Democratic leaders are anti-black, anti-minority, and anti-homosexual is an inconvenient truth. It is uncomfortable to read because it is uncomfortable to write. But, as an old adage goes, the truth will make you free. Only when Democrats confront their own bigoted demons can true progress begin, can we finally heal as a nation.
Are we really, really sure that RenewAmerica isn’t a parody site?
Uh…
Where do you even begin?
Oooh. Dishing up The Corner, Town Hall and RenewAmerica all in one post.
It like a 3:30AM salad bar at the bus depot cafeteria with no sneeze guard.
Wouldn’t intelligent design imply that
Godthe abstract, unnamed and totally non-religious designer created homosexuals?Oh, good grief. It’s like that scene from Hannibal where he forces Krendler to eat his own brain. This scene is being played out daily in the salons of wingnuts across America.
Metaphorically, anyway. I’d be horrified to think they were really eating each other’s brains, if not actually surprised.
Have your laugh now, libruls, but when one of those Gitmo detainees is let loose and single-handedly destroys all of the West Coast, who will be laughing then?
Tabor:
Sadly No, it seems them white wimmen are undergoing a greater ‘genocide’ (as Tabor describes the effect of abortion.)
Including Till’s quote above, I’m sure we have prima faciae evidence Tabor’s a feckin idjit.
My irony meter is spittin sparks.
Jay’s forgotten McCarthy’s little hissyfit that resulted in the Weavers at Carnegie Hall. Rumor has it gingko biloba helps one remember Pete Seeger lengthy career.
FYWP for eating my first attempt…
Tabor:
Sadly, no.
Along with Till’s quotes above my irony meter is spittin sparks.
Bonus: When Tabor talks of “confronting bigoted demons”, I’m pretty sure he’s referring to people like himself.
I’d be horrified to think they were really eating each other’s brains, if not actually surprised.
This requires you to have a brain in the first place.
Nordlinger repeatedly compares exuberant liberal crowds to North Koreans; “People were almost North Korean in their robust unanimity.” I wonder if he ever accidentally tuned into a broadcast of Promise Keepers meeting or Creflo Dollar while trying to find Fox News on his cable box?
Seems like Wingnutz don’t want to go to an affair where their point of view may not be the unanimous one. I haven’t noticed a lot of dissent at the athletic events I attended in the past few years where the war was loudly and vigorously cheered and celebrated, and the maiming of our soldiers was lauded by thousands of fans. While I didn’t see the gory in a double amputee, I kept my peace, lest I disturb the serenity of those of Nordlinger’s mindset.
sorry, that should be “glory in a double amputee”
Metaphorically, anyway. I’d be horrified to think they were really eating each other’s brains, if not actually surprised.
Isn’t that how mad cow spreads?
I wanted to comment on this stuff–especially Tabor–but my brain melted. Where to begin? Next time, I guess.
I pooped my pants.
God, those fucking Guantanamo detainees. My cousin is a guard there, and he saw one lying bloody on the floor with his head pointed in the general direction of Mecca last week! Naturally he beat him further for this impudence. You can’t trust those Guantanamo detainees.
Nathan Tabor, what’s that log in your eye all about?
Seriously, what is this all about with the “Democrat sekrit racism”.
Like, no human is ever bigoted in any way, shape or form? The difference, Tamboring Man, is that Democrats are aware of their bigotry and try to look past it. Most of the time, we succeed, some of the time we don’t.
Republicans, on the other hand, couldn’t really give a crap about racism or bigotry, which is precisely why they lost the Hispanic vote in 2008.
I’m getting the image from wingnuttia that guantanamo detainees are supervillains. Perhaps Batman could be persuaded to open up Arkam Asylum to house them? Plus, if they escaped, then only fictional Gotham city would be at risk and the dark knight could ka-pow them.
The charge of Democratic racism comes from this liberal idea of measuring the world to see how to compares to our values. For instance, liberals believe in racial inequality. So when they measure and find that skin color is a strong predictor of how much money you make, they believe they’ve found a problem and start to look for solutions. This extends to other ideas — economic mobility, freedom of speech, etc.
The modern conservative moves in the opposite direction. From values come “truths”: a value for racial equality becomes “the races are equal”. Then measurement is not necessary. If statistics show that their truth may be flawed, then damn all of statistic.
Yesterday when I was walking to work at the Taco Bell some negro said “hello” to me. I dutifully informed the authorities that he was trying to steal my wallet.
It is a well known fact that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is a shape shifter.

I eat my own poop!

So, what you’re saying is, they’ve just now figured out that maybe it wasn’t such a good idea to use radioactive spiders as an interrogation/torture technique?
After the inaguration I attempted to convince my “wife” that a 2 inch penis was, in fact, adequate.
OT. This essay contest sounds custom made for Sadlynauts.

Bi-goated demons? I’m listening.
Off topic, but I heard Jonah fucking Goldberg on the BBC this morning shilling that execrable book. Couldn’t fucking believe it.
Darn those Demoncrats for introducing “free speech zones”!
Oh, wait…
Unless you’ve already heard the backlash, among lots of people who considered themselves semi-down with the new administration. Ah, don’t sweat it, liberals – after all, triumphialism is part of the game, right?
Bend over, Troofie. There’s a whole line of angry liberals waiting their turn at you.
Seems like Wingnutz don’t want to go to an affair where their point of view may not be the unanimous one.
I wonder how Nordlinger viewed the loyalty oaths people had to sign to attend Bush/Cheney ’04 events?
Yeah, Chris, I almost choked on my omelette. She was WAY too easy on him.
And I’ll tell you something funny: I think there has been more partisan politics in New York concert halls lately than I notice in the offices of National Review!
This just in: fish doesn’t notice water is powerful wet stuff! Details at eleven!
Actor212, I believe the difference is starker: Liberals tend to see their racism and work hard to overcome it, while the wingnuts see their racism and embrace it. The sputtering and justification is for other people; they’re just fine with it.
For instance, liberals believe in racial inequality
Now ain’t that a Freudian slip.
Po’ Troofie. Context is everything, pal. Michael’s point is spot on: we recognize it exists in America.
Sad little man.
Oops, I forgot: your fat as all fucking hell! You make Fat Bastard look like Kate Moss!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Liberals tend to see their racism and work hard to overcome it, while the wingnuts see their racism and embrace it.
Joe, you’re probably right. I was trying to be kindhearted.
You know…liberal! 😀
I don’t know what the Truth Fairy’s so upset about. According to the stereotype, teh blacks want to steal white people’s jobs and women, and all indications suggest that he has neither of these things.
Reading Nordlinger’s column, I wonder if he considers that, whenver Toby Keith gives a concert, or Lee Greenwood sings that egregious song, or Charlie Daniels, or anyone sings the National Anthem, they’ve pretty mjuch politicized an event?
The Miro Quartet spoke about their personal feelings. I don’t have a problem with that.
I DO have a problem with some jackass telling me I’d better like his song or I’m an Islamofascist.
Sure, Nathan – Democrats are the real racists. Not people like Keith Luke or the Massachusetts church arsonists.
Conservatives should be screaming denouncement of these anti-Obama racists from the rooftops, but they’re strangely silent. Perhaps these cases didn’t make WND or Drudge.
But, kiki, it’s because black people EXIST that Twoofie has neither a job nor relations with women.
Wow, between Nordlinger, Stokes, and Tabor, that is some grade-A shit right there.
I know, when seeing shit like that, it’s tempting to say “Man, where I can get some”, but please God please God please don’t ever let me take anything that makes me that stupid. That’s like a bare 10 IQ points away from a persistent vegetative state.
.
Toofie gets the vapors at the implied racism in a Soul Handshake.
Nerdlinger fops around at “a string-quartet concert at Weill Recital Hall” and then has the unmitigated nerts to accuse liberals of being elitist?
Mr. Tabor is missing a lot of the hate exhibited by Democrats. Using this logic, Democrats hate all extinct species. If they hadn’t believed in natural selection all the species that ever existed would still exist. If only we had believed in intelligent design, we would still be able to appreciate the living glory of trilobites, T. Rex, wooly mammoths, eohippus and Neanderthals.
Because our thoughts control geological events on earth and its climate. And THAT is why Wingnutistan is not worried about global warming. If it happens, it will only be because a tipping point of humans BELIEVED it would happen.
I believe that the far right just went so far right that it met the far left in the form of New Age thinking.
Oh, there is always room for partisan politics — at any musical event. (But those politics are of the left-wing variety, only — make no mistake about that.)
That’s why I quit going to Toby Keith concerts. Too many damn hippies.
Thankfully we have the horseshoe crab and David Brooks to remind us how wonderful trilobites were.
They’re all going “Blago” now. Hallucinations are next. Bring the popcorn.
Who was it that said, “The only unsuccessful troll is an ignored troll”?
I thought that was pretty good.
It is uncomfortable to read because it is uncomfortable to write.
What the hell does that even mean? Did someone actually pay him to write this shit? I’ve seen better essays written by 7th graders.
If a black man quotes an old blues song in public it is okay to kill him.
How can there have been racism at Obama’s inauguration? McCain won.
Bookmark that, libs!
What the hell does that even mean?
Reading and writing are hard for him and cause him brain-hurt.
That would place homosexuals at the bottom of the chain, since they cannot procreate. Under evolution, they are destined to die out, forced out of existence by the heterosexuals who can procreate.
Hah, sez he! We’re still here, queer, et cetera in perpetuam, He may be thinking of the Shakers. Now the Shakers have learned the “recruit, hog, or die”, lesson the hard way.
It is uncomfortable to read because it is uncomfortable to write.
He laces all of his writing with anthrax by hand.
Yeah, but I made sure Proposition Eight passed!
Dude, you’re so yesterday.
“But, as an old adage goes, the truth will make you free.”
No, that would be “Arbeit.”
Re: Swank…
(Gitmo interrogator lubes up nightstick) “You know, Ahmed, this hurts me more than it hurts you, you sadistic bastard. Why do you make me do these things? Why won’t you let me stop? WHY?!” (Continues the “session” with tears cascading down his face, after which the detainee is served fillet mignon with red wine sauce.)
Mr. Tabor is missing a lot of the hate exhibited by Democrats. Using this logic, Democrats hate all extinct species.
It’s true! For example, I hate passenger pigeons with the heat of a thousand suns.
I’m simply DISGUSTED that the prisoners in Gitmo aren’t ALL nice to the folks who’ve kept them locked up for years without charges, beaten them, threatened their families & made repeated promises to kill them slowly … what a pack of fuckin’ ingrates.
Only when Democrats confront their own bigoted demons can true progress begin, can we finally heal as a nation.
Yeah, break out the bloody Band-Aids & slather on the Ozonol.
Bigotry: for the Democrats it’s a bug – for the GOP, it’s a feature.
This Just In: Herr Trout still in denial (remember, remember, the 4th of November?), still terminally allergic to his own name, still dedicated to being a killfile-dodging attention-whore, still unable to stay on-topic EVAR. No film at eleven.
I’m getting the image from wingnuttia that guantanamo detainees are supervillains.
Of course they are. Osama bin Laden is actually General Zod in disguise. They must be thrown into the Phantom Zone!
I’m not going to read the article, but how does the fact that even guys like Gore and Kerry got 90% of the black vote square with the Democrats being anti-black? Same thing for anti-gay and anti-minority. Are black, gay and minority voters too stupid to figure out that the Democrats hate them? Is that it?
You are killing me with that picture
I would hate to get into a ‘pissing contest’ with that canine!
An “old adage”? Don’t these folks recognize the words of Jesus of Nazareth (John 8:32.)?
