More Deep Thinking
ABOVE: Trevor Thomas
Shorter Trevor Thomas, The American Genius
The Dumbest Word in the English Language
- I am sick of liberals claiming that conservatives discriminate against homos when my dictionary clearly proves that this cannot be the case.
A favorite wingnut trick is to appeal to a dictionary as the ultimate arbiter of a moral argument. You know, as when they say, gay marriage is wrong because some dust-encrusted dictionary from the 1930s defines marriage as a legal or religious union of “a man and a woman.” Following that line of argument, of course, they could easily establish once and for all that Jesus is the sole path to salvation by looking him up in the dictionary where it clearly states he is the Son of God. Oops. Wait. Never mind.
Anyway, back to the dictionary and the other amazing things that can be found therein. According to Trevor Thomas (you remember him), dictionaries don’t simply define words but can answer many other questions, such as whether conservatives discriminate against gay people. Trevor is sick and tired of the homos getting all whiney about how they are mistreated and he is going to throw his dictionary at them to prove that discrimination is simply a figment of their sex-obsessed imaginations.
Trevor’s starting point for this fascinating exercise was Frank Rich calling the Mormon Church homophobic.
Merriam-Webster defines [homophobia] as “irrational fear of, aversion to, or discrimination against homosexuality or homosexuals.” … almost exclusively those labeled as “homophobe” have a biblical conviction against homosexual behavior, and nothing more. They have no “irrational fear” of homosexuals, or a “dread of being in close quarters” with them. A friend, language expert, and fellow Christian, Dr. Danny Evans, notes that the common use of homophobe is a “completely erroneous use of the word. Most of us know that a phobia is a fear of certain things or situations. It’s interesting that those who oppose homosexuality are categorized as ‘homophobic,’ especially since fear has nothing to do with the opposition to homosexuality. From a Christian viewpoint, homosexuality is not feared, but rather opposed based on the biblical explanation of it.
What I love about the writing stable at the American “Thinker” is that most of them appear to be so stupid that they can’t even find their way between their own bathrooms and kitchens without leaving a trail of breadcrumbs. Notice that whip-smart Trevor apparently doesn’t read his own fricking definition of homophobia which includes, duh, “discrimination against homosexuality or homosexuals,” which kind of makes his argument that Christians aren’t homophobic because they are scared of guys pretty ridiculous.
But, okay, let’s ignore that teensy problem that the definition he cites as proof that folks aren’t homophobic doesn’t support his argument. Let’s ignore that definition completely and consider whether “phobia” only means, as “language expert” Dr. Danny Evans says, fear of something and whether therefore people who hate gays but don’t pee in their pants when they see gay people aren’t really homophobic. The problem here is that everyone knows that there is a use of phobia and phobic in words unrelated to the clinical sense of a mental disorder exhibiting itself by irrational fear. There are plenty of uses of those suffixes to indicate simple dislike, such as, for example, xenophobia, anglophobia, francophobia, etc., etc. So much for Dr. Danny’s language expertise.
Of course, we can alway sidestep this silly argumentum ad dictionarium by simply calling Trevor and his ilk bigots. Game over. Now shove your dictionary up your ass, bigot.

Of course not, it’s the fear of photon torpedoes. It is very predominant in the Klingon population.
Most of us know that a phobia is a fear of certain things or situations.
The “language expert” apparently neglected the helpfully included dictionary definition. Most of us know what is meant by “homophobe” and most of us, on reading the dictionary definition know what “aversion” means, too.
In his defense, the Alchemist (who is very much out of the closet) from “The Venture Bros.” supports the theory that the dictionary definition are more reliable then modern interpretations/re-interpretations of words.
What I’m saying is the only person who agrees Trevor Thomas happens to be a gay cartoon character.
I recall Phoebephobia is a fear of Fast Times at Ridgemont High, but I’m not 100% certain of this.
Why are they bothered by being called “homophobes”?
Based on the crowds at Chick-fil-hAte yesterday, they seem pretty darn proud of their bigotry, as if making Jesus look like a dick will get them extra points in Heaven.
Most of us know that a phobia is a fear of certain things or situations.

GayPatriotphobia:
The fear of homosexuals who are afraid of homosexuals.
Ok, I’ll try to get it right but I still think hum-uh-fuhbs sounds weird.
This is one of the most annoying things homophobes ever say. Maybe the most. It’s just so goddamn dumb, since no one really thinks that every single word in the English language that comes from Latin or Greek roots must literally mean to what those roots meant in Latin or Greek.
Hemophilia isn’t a condition where someone is sexually attracted to blood, a salad isn’t just made from salt, and a homophobe isn’t someone with an irrational fear of sameness. I’d suggest Trevor look the word up in an American English dictionary, but then he did – and he transcribed the definition! – without taking it in at all.
The “so propagandized they live in another dimension” wingnuttery is scary, but the “so dumb they stare simple evidence of why they’re wrong right in the face” stuff is extremely aggravating.
If dictionaries are good, then good ones are better, but the most thorough ones are of no help to conservatives. As noted yesterday, they like a reductionist view of just about anything. It follows that they’d find a good long dive into etymology as hurtful as a pool of razors.
Now, nobody uses “ergophobia” (fear of work), but the views of its coiner look startlingly familiar …
“Mr. W.D. Spanton (Leeds) considered that the most prominent causes of physical degeneration were–efforts to rear premature and diseased infants, absurd educational high pressure, cigarette smoking in the younger generation, and late hours at night; in fact, the love of pleasure and ergophobia in all classes of society. He considered that there was too much cheap philanthropy, that life was made too easy for the young poor, and that by modern educational methods proper parental discipline was rendered almost impossible. [report on the 73rd annual meeting of the British Medical Association, “Nature,” Aug. 3, 1905]”
The same source shitcans the term coulrophobia (morbid fear of clowns): “The whole creation looks suspiciously like the sort of thing idle pseudo-intellectuals invent on the Internet and which every smarty-pants takes up thereafter;” — “though the phenomenon is real enough.”
The same source shitcans the term coulrophobia (morbid fear of clowns)
I say it’s not a phobia because clowns really are scary.
As they say, major, the phenomenon is real enough, but the term seems fishy.
Anyone who has heard of John Wayne Gacy, who has read IT by Stephen King or been exposed to the so called music of the Insane Clown Posse, has no need to justify their coulrophobia or the existence of the term, despite what your clearly sheltered author says.
Whaddaya know, people who married a second time were once notable enough that you’d call them “digamists.”
tigris is right, if you pronounce it fuh-bia it makes it sound like something WF Buckley would do with squirrel suits. Can’t be right.
I am afraid of clowns, and I’d settle on “clownophobe” sooner than that caulro- nonsense.
I’d keep ten words as dumb as ‘caulrophobia’, if we could lose ‘webinar’. ‘Blog’ is another one I’d dump in heartbeat.

Bozophobia.
This is the dumbest argument about a “homo-” word since William Safire contended that lesbians shouldn’t call themselves homosexuals since the prefix “homo-” means “man.”
In Latin, it does. In Greek, it means “same,” as in “same sex.” Safire at least corrected himself in his next column; today’s goofs would just scrub it from their websites and pretend it didn’t happen.
Bozophobia, yes. The coining of words should be left to the likes of you, sir. Shame on those others.
‘caulrophobia’
for some reason this makes me think of ann coulter…which gives me a sadz…but then it also reminds me of a cauldron and i picture her in one…over roaring flames…and then i feel better!

If they aren’t homophobic, they’re just bigoted fucking assholes, which I believe to be the case anyway. I’ve never really liked the term homophobic. It feels like we’re going way too easy on them when we use it. It’s sort of like calling racists ignorant. In 2012, nobody is ignorant about race anymore. They choose to be asshole hatemongers and fucking know better. They do it because they’re just shitty people.
The Smiler strikes again. Watch him interact with this young man who relies on medical marijuana. What. a. titanic. douche. Now, of course Romney’s interlocutors are being manipulative — in a common manner that he should be able to deal with graciously. Dare I say like Obama would, although Obama’s policies deserve a similar gotcha.
All Romney is feeling there is stuff like annoyance, suppressed rage at being put on the spot, etc. It’s all about him … If his views (not just re: marijuana) are defensible, if his policies are humane, why is he so fucking uncomfortable? He’s not even a good liar, just a dogged one. Not shameless, but pained. So quit, asshole.

You’ve nailed it with this question.
If his views (not just re: marijuana) are defensible, if his policies are humane, why is he so fucking uncomfortable?
When the guy kept asking him “Are you going to arrest me?” Romney could have just shrugged and said, “No, because I’m not a police officer. But if you do get arrested, and you wanted my help, you’d have to apply for a pardon like anyone else.”
Romneybot thought that offering a barista his unfinished hot chocolate was being generous?
Oh, LIZARD SHIT!!! I thought you had to be making that up.
This guy is channeling the spirit of Thomas Dewey. There’s no other explanation for it.
I had not heard the hot chocolate thing. Holy crap, what a fucking freak he is.
I couldn’t make that up if I tried. It boggles. It floors. It gobsmacks. It does not compute. Where does this fucking robot get off? It occurred to me this morning that Romneybot should fire his staff and replace them with actual clowns for all the good they do him. This man seems incapable of learning. It’s hard to believe that someone claiming to be such a great businessman can’t hire worth shit. Perhaps the bot cannot learn from anyone. What a catastrophe it would be for him to be in the White House.

Funny:
Mitt has said this about polygamy: “I must admit, I can’t imagine anything more awful than polygamy.” This is a failure of imagination. I can, in a split second, imagine lots of things more awful than polygamy. One, two, three, go! The Holocaust, guzzling a bucket of pus, a baboon fucking a human baby. I could quite easily go on but shall not.
Coming from someone else, I can read this as a joke: “Take my wives. Please,” or something. It is genuinely odd, though. I take no truck with polygamy, but (at least as a man) it’s not hard to imagine it being good … just gloss over the bad stuff, like in any fantasy.
Romneybot thought that offering a barista his unfinished hot chocolate was being generous?
I’m as disdainful of Mitt as anyone, but this story, while certainly plausible, has no corroboration, so I’m willing to give the asshole a pass on it. I hate to sound like a concern troll, but we have enough douchery to hang on Willard as it is without some anecdotal douchery from years back.

“Homophobe” is a bit too dry a descriptive to me. I prefer, “people who don’t like guys who like to get naked together and suck each others’ swollen cocks until the jizz squirts out all over the place and then sigh and lie back and tongue-kiss each other and fall asleep in each others’ arms.”

Wait, isn’t Lobophobia the fear of bland, 70’s-era pop music, related to Pocophobia and Totophobia?

Arrowheads.
There we go.
Arrgh.
“It is very troubling for a variety of reasons that the culture of meth use has embraced the idea of collecting relics,” Early said.
While surface hunting for arrowheads is legal, trespassing and digging through archaeological sites is illegal, Early said.
Count your blessings, dude. The could be stealing copper wire from construction sites, or god knows what … That article mentions fields and riverbeds, but does not document trespassing on arch. sites.

Arrowheads.
I am now much disappointed that arrowheads have not figured heavily as a Breaking Bad plot point.
but does not document trespassing on arch. sites.
Yep, it’s mostly the black market folk that get into the (mostly Mound culture) archeological areas. There are loads of arrowheads over in the Eastern part of Arkansas – folks lived there for hundreds of years. The meth head finds are not all that out of the ordinary. I always thought with that kind of energy they ought to be over at Crater of Diamonds state park, but I imagine that’s closed at night, the prime hunting time.
I know when visiting folks if a box or two of arrowheads is lying about, someones in the kitchen, and not with Dinah.
Shambling around with eyes to the ground hasn’t hit our local tweakers yet. There are more fossilized shark’s teeth around here than arrowheads and I’ve heard “He’s out looking for shark’s teeth.” as a version of “walking aimlessly trying to figure things out”. The pothunters one occasional sees in 4 Corners country always look pretty crispy. I wonder if those loonies constantly searching for minie balls around east central Virginia are cranking. I always thought of them as 12 steppers trying to keep busy but I guess you never know.

D’ohphobia: fear of yellow cartoon characters
Or conceptual art. But frankly, the singing is scarier.
Also, onanophobia: fear of 70% of the internet.
Or so I’m told.
The fact is only liberals are aflicted with bibleophobia and cannot deal with their lifelong obsesion of denying God and rightousness. Faggotry leads to oral cancer and the warship of anuses. The day of wreckoning is soon to come for the Godless heathins that inhabit this den of seculer inequite. Get down on your knees without a dick in your mouth to prey for forgiveness from our Lord and Savour Jesus Christ.

OMG. Another mass murder. A Sikh Temple in Milwaukee somewhere.
South of Milwaukee. reports are 4 dead.

I am sure that someone is already posting the anti-muslim and racist screeds already, but am far too disgusted to go looking.
I hate my state right now. Well, to be fair, I hate CERTAIN PEOPLE in my state.
Not looking forward to what my racist redneck gun-fetishist in-laws have to say about it. If I had to wager “Good start” will be the least offensive thing.
Six dead, plus the shooter. 30+ injured, including children.

Remember the day after Rudy Giuliani day? A man wearing a turban was killed because anyone that wears a turban is muslin. Except that guy was a Sikh. Sikhs aint moozlems.

Silly Sikhs, They brought swords to a gunfight.
Even though I understand it was probably necessary to avoid more casualties, I wish the murderer wasn’t killed. Letting these shitweasels commit suicide by cop is way too good for them.
Oh, it was a white guy. So it’s not terrorism then.
Yeah, let’s not get crazy here Pup.
Wasn’t racism either, I am sure, because we’ve got a black president.
Do we know it was a white guy? I just assumed ( CUZ IT ALWAYS IS). I’ve been watching CNN all day and not getting much info.
Urinal Sentinel reported it was a white guy. It’s still early, but Oak Creek is pretty damn white.
Anyone interested in starting a pool on how long it will take to find the murderer’s online racist, poorly-spelled screeds?
The Milwaukee rag said that “according to peope who exited the temple” or something that it was a white guy in his 30s. I would not be surprised if the lamestream media (oh for fuck sake, “lamestream” gets no protest from autocorrect) were avoiding mentioning it.
someone at Balloon Juice said that according to WISN, the cops are sweeping the area to determine if there were accomplices, and asked the media to avoid transmitting images of the police doing so, so it might explain why there’s not a lot of info yet.
OTOH, since when is the fucking media supposed to just roll over whenever a cop says?
New post, poorly timed.
Cerb, I would be frankly shocked if you were coordinating with a armed killer.
Oh, it was a white guy. So it’s not terrorism then.
Naomi Wolf wrote a remarkably stupid column recently blaming everything on the closures of mental hospitals during the Reagan years. She appeared to be under the impression that
witch-snifferspsychologists were infallible judges of future criminality, and that future mass shootings could be avoided by selectively withdrawing constitutional rights from psychologically-unusual individuals and locking them up before they do anything illegal.In other words, the whole problem lies with a small group of Others rather than with all us good sane people.
TBogg has a Godlstein post, and references one of the great classics of Sadly, No! renown, the classic Amy Alcon Shit Moat thread.
Executive summary: Jeff Godlstein begs his readers for money, to buy guns so he can Defend His Family after the November election when the race war comes down. Excellent timing, Jeff.
For added hilarity, he writes of a rifle as a “melee weapon”, which if nothing else will bolster his credibility with the D-&-D-playing sector of his readership (though there is a disappointing failure to go into the detail of the hit points and saving throws he is seeking).
Correct me if I am wrong, but I am pretty sure that the protagonist of the Turner Diaries does not stoop to panhandling to fund his personal arsenal.
Smut, there’s even a better one out there this week: Tucker the Orange had his Twitter account hacked, and responded by offering a gun to the first reader that could help him track down the perpetrators.
“Here’s a gun! Why don’t you and him fight!”
