Oh, sure, “informant.” Agent provocateur, more like it. “Say, wanna bet” informer boy was the hottest to get other people to build bombs & blow stuff up?

Similar thing:

Turner, who authorities said had three semiautomatic handguns, a shotgun and 350 rounds of ammunition in his North Bergen, N.J., home when the FBI arrested him, worked at times as an FBI informant. Although Fitzgerald’s office says he provided occasional information on right-wing extremists, Orozco [Turner’s atty.] said he was recruited as an “agent provocateur” to get leftists to act in public against him and reveal themselves to the FBI.

Video guaranteed to put you to sleep, unless you’re overly-sensitive to idiotic asssholes, in which case it’ll just push your blood-pressure through the ceiling. I lasted about a minute.

It’s probably a good thing so many wingnuts now have the Internets to occupy them – at least this way we know what they’re up to … otherwise they can quickly become a real menace.

Tru dat.

To fulfill their intellectual needs, & give them a sense of belonging & importance, I imagine a cardboard box festooned with Xmas lights & concealing a digital noisemaker hooked up to a paddle-switch would serve every bit as well as a computer. Hell, we could sell them “Anti-Liberal/Secular-Humanism Virus-Killer Softwarez” in the form of Flintstones Vitamins with LEDs glued on while we’re at it.

No, wait, here’s Representative Moran!

Others in the audience were just as loud when they booed Mr. Moran as he entered the auditorium, and individual opponents of an overhaul yelled out responses to nearly all of the congressman’s remarks.

[…]

Mr. Moran, who is known for his blunt speaking style, was accompanied on the platform by former Vermont governor and Democratic presidential candidate Howard Dean. It was the congressman’s first public meeting on health care.

The approximately 3,000 people seated in the auditorium were allowed to carry in signs and placards and were joined by national activists, including anti-abortion campaigner Randall Terry.

Mr. Moran took on his opponents, rather than trying to pacify them, as some members of Congress have done. He put up a series of slides responding to “myths” in the health-care debate, including on popular topics among opponents of an overhaul such as supposed “death panels” which they argue would restrict care for the elderly, publicly funded abortion and the provision of care to illegal immigrants.

After shouting prevented Mr. Dean’s opening remarks being heard, Mr. Moran called on police to eject Mr. Terry. The activist left the auditorium to shouts of “Get him out!” from the president’s supporters.

Mr. Dean answered a question about medical malpractice reform by saying it was too politically difficult to include it in the bill. Some opponents of Democrats’ health plans cite tort reform as one of the main ways the current system could be improved.

Apparently neither moron nor moran.

Most of them thar big brave fuckers already served their country (riding a desk or policing the motor pool) ’cause they couldn’t get out of the draft.

Including the “Greatest Generation” member who said he’d go to Washington w/ his gub [sic] if everyone else would come along.

Republicans everywhere are MOURNING the loss of “Chappaquiddick!” as a response whenever one of their own is caught hanging in a closet wearing a wet-suit with a dildo up his ass — or whatever.

The only thing they’ve got left now is “Barney Frank!”

They’d better hope he lives to be a hundred.

For Teddy

If I were a religious man, I’d say, “Óró, sé do bheatha ‘bhaile, Teddy“

He put up a series of slides responding to “myths” in the health-care debate…

I love the scare quotes around the word “myths.” It’s almost as if the WSJ didn’t bother to invest the time or have the interest to actually “report” [scare quotes, mine] on what was demonstrably true or false.

So did Mr. Moran respond to myths, or did he respond to “myths”? In the wonderful world of today’s “he said/she said” media, we might never know.

Like this, for example, at the end of that same paragraph:

…such as supposed “death panels” which they argue would restrict care for the elderly, publicly funded abortion and the provision of care to illegal immigrants.

Yes, indeedy-do, they do argue that. One might suppose a “reporter” [scare quotes, mine] might, after writing the preceding sentence, look into whether or not those things were in any proposed bill, and add, perhaps, a wee sentence or two with that, one would imagine, important info.

Perhaps those “sentences” –which would involve some actual not-very strenuous journalistic “work”– fell off the “page” [scare quotes, mine].

I built a Jacob’s Ladder in Electronics class 40 years ago. Bending the wires just right for the arc to march up them like that is a bitch of a job.

RIP, Teddy. I think your passing may stimulate some waverers to do the right thing and show the general public as nothing else could what depraved motherfuckers the Right-Wing Noise Machine are.

Well, it probably will not have happened yet (time-travel paradoxes make for some confusion in verb tense), but Barry will probably arrange for it to happen when he will have (again with the verb problem) traveled back in time to plant his birth announcement in the Honolulu Advertiser.

I love the scare quotes around the word “myths.” It’s almost as if the WSJ didn’t bother to invest the time or have the interest to actually “report” [scare quotes, mine] on what was demonstrably true or false.

Your 21st Century journalism, folks – they’ve got the bug of “objective reporting” so far up their ass they can’t even be arsed to check on the simplest details if there’s any controversy at all. “Some people say these claims are “myths”, other people say they’re facts. Who’s right? Hell if we know, we’re just reporting both sides of the issue! *giggle*”

Speaking of the WSJ:

JOHN FUND, WSJ: How in the world can Republicans — even if they wanted to be obstructionist — do anything? They don’t have any votes in the Senate to block a filibuster, they’re a hopeless minority in the House, they don’t have the White House. So even if they were obstructionist, this is all on Democrats because they have all the votes they need. So to blame the other party is, frankly, I think, passing the buck.

So Sen. De Minty Fresh’s comments about making this “Obama’s Waterloo”? Just a comment, nothing more! It’s not the GOP’s fault, it’s never the GOP’s fault, yadda yadda world without end amen.

“Party of personal responsibility” my ass.

It’s not the GOP’s fault, it’s never the GOP’s fault, yadda yadda world without end amen.

The GOP is at war with reality. The GOP has always been at war with reality.

I dunno, those might not be scare quotes so much as actual quotes, emphasizing that that’s the exact word he used. I might be wrong, natch, as I can’t think straight now that J—’s infected me with that GODDAMN EARWORM. Bastard.

“Teh librul pacifist wimp warmonger bomberkillers are way more violent than us macho peaceful patriot prolifers, but if we would kick their asses if we want to, which we never would, but they wish we would try, but we’ll deny them the satisfaction, because even though we are the strongest and most powerful of all, we are sorely and unjustly oppressed by weaklings and only restrain ourselves (barely) because of our great superiosity and valor.”

Then fold on scored line C-C and voila! you have an origami B-52.

well, they’ve never been the same since Ricky Wilson died.

Hearing the sound of a B-52 taking off was one of the greatest sounds in the world.

Because it meant I wasn’t in the damned thing.

I blame Gavin. He put up that title.

You can only spot them after the fact, when someone points out a glaring misfact he’s just farted out, and he says it’s central to his point. Then you can go back and try to sift it out.

Honestly, I don’t know how you people at S,N! keep a functioning brain after reading Reynolds, let alone condensing them into shorters, which somehow manage to encapsulate the malicious and egregiously flawed substance of his posts without losing any of the tortured locution.

When I read his posts, I’m hit by these, like, anti-logic-harmonics embedded in them that cause parts of my brain to go “Dur?” and shut down. When I wake from the blackout, I’m usually lying on the floor naked with a fluffy towel and banana peels.

Dude, I don’t even buy bananas! Where are they coming from???!?

She was a hell of a pirate, but I read that she demanded that her crew remain celibate, and I just can’t get behind that.
