Well This Certainly Explains A Lot

After all the gnashing of teeth and bejiggering of Photoshop, apparently Atrios really looks like that.

We keep telling people not to chew that gum at the Wonka factory, but does anyone listen to us? No, no they generally don’t.

But exactly how many is too many carrots to eat?

 
 

I’ve seen that picture of Reynolds so many times I’m beginning to have nightmares about it.

 
 

So…instead of an envelope filled with soap powder, do the right wing sickos send him smallpox infected blankets?

 
 

With celebrity victims like Insty and Atrios, bloggers’ insurance is sure to start covering rosacea.

 
 

Atrios: better red than dead

 
 

p.s. this clip is so AWKWARD

 
 

Yo, Travis, what are you looking at?? Anything but awkward. Human, elegant and really articulate.

 
 

“I heard you spend 16 hours a day at your computer!”

“Well, I, uhm…”

it’s not Duncans fault. what kind of question is that?

 
 

The Democrats just signed their death certificates for November.

The Democrats just lost their insane base with their concessions on the interrogation and tribunal bill.

And that base will stay home in Ohio and Tennesssee and Missouri.

The other Democrats who dare to criticize this great bill will be reminded that their party was vital in the passage of the bill, and that they liked it enough that they refused to try obstructing it.

Harry Reid: Making Bill Frist look like a better leader every day.

 
 

Wow! He looks great in blue!

 
 

Any one of you angry Democrats who actually stays with your party is a bigger sucker than the leadership of your party.

If you don’t show them that your vote isn’t automatic, then they won’t change.

Don’t vote for the Democrats this fall, and show them that your angry extremism is the base of the party, instead of the lazy liberalism of other Democrats.

 
 

Any one of you complacent Republicans who actually stays with your party is a bigger sucker than the leadership of your party.

If you don’t show them that your vote isn’t automatic, then they won’t change.

Don’t vote for the Republicans this fall, and show them that your fiscal conservatism and reticence to engage in needless foreign military adventures is the base of the party, instead of the drunken spending and ill-conceived nation building of other Republicans.

 
 

was that Gary’s attempt at subtlety?

 
 

Damn, Gary’s mom’s left the basement door unlocked again….

 
 

Don’t vote for the Democrats this fall, and show them that your angry extremism is the base of the party, instead of the lazy liberalism of other Democrats.

Duh, okay. Duh, that’ll sure fix their wagon, when the Republicans win.

Hey, wait a second: This is just like that time in ’04 when Gary said that Democrats were s’posta vote on November THIRD!

 
 

Yeah Gavin, you certainly are showing Harry Reid that his tactics are wrong by working to make him Senate Majority Leader.

That’ll inspire him to stop future Bush bills.

If you think your party is in need of rehab, then it has to hit rock bottom first.

 
 

Pay no attention to that mote!

 
 

I WISH I could spend 16 hours a day at my computer.

Lucky stiff.

 
 

Can any of you identify any time that the Dems stood with you and actually stopped Republican plans?

 
 

Gary, what the hell? Why here just yesterday I was complementing you on your detatched, bland, unengaged style. It’s the thing that separated you from the other wingnut trolls. And now, all of a sudden, out of the BLUE, you become strident and begin to smell of desparation. Dude, your signature style is your point of diferentiation – don’t throw it all away now!!

mikey

 
 

Gary the concern troll sucks. Bring back Gary the Coulterite.

 
 

I would comment about how this post is awesome and how mch I hate Gary, but I amm depressed and no one likes me. Especially Avingay.

 
 

I know this is off-topic (though that never stops Mr Ruppert), but Mark Steyn has just published a keeerrrraaazzeeee column about Juan Williams’s new book.

Here’s my take:

http://nathanwhitlock.blogspot.com/2006/09/peculiar-touchiness.html

 
 

Yeah, the stupid Social Security privatization. We seemed to have stopped that despite Bush bleating in front of hand-picked audiences.

Doesn’t having 3 comments out of 20 mean that you get an acheivement on your Xbox 360? Or a dollar off at Quizno’s? Or is it just pathetic?

I’m not happy about such an immoral bill being passed, but that doesn’t make me want to not vote the more vile muthafuggers out. I’m more than happy to vote against the party of insipid evil.

 
 

There was never any serious social security reform proposed in either house.

 
 

I like you, Pinko *air kisses*

Unless you’re really Gary *scowl*

Hey, Gary, are you gonna teach those record-breaking pork barrel spender ‘publicans a lesson this November? VOTE DEM, THE FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE CHOICE FOR AMERICA!

 
 

There was never any serious social security reform proposed in either house.

…because the Democrast stopped it.

Really, Gary, are you so proud that the Republicans are the party of American Torture? That now the only difference between them and the Stalin regime are the furry hats?

 
 

Has Gary Ruppert been located?

Check out this post at TPMuckraker http://www.tpmcafe.com/blog/electioncentral/2006/sep/27/fl_sen_harris_has_secret_admirer_in_india ~ bloggers with posts on Harris are getting spam from an IP in India.

So Gary isn’t some poor Mexican kid, he’s from India.

 
 

Yeah Gavin, you certainly are showing Harry Reid that his tactics are wrong by working to make him Senate Majority Leader.

That’ll inspire him to stop future Bush bills.

And withholding support from Reid would also send a strong message to Bill Frist, who…

Uh.

Hey, wait a minute!

 
 

Good jerb with your unconditional Republican support, Gare bear. Thanks to your party faithful’s willful blindness to the party’s total abandonment of actual conservative principles I’m gearing up to vote straight ticket for the first time in my life. And it ain’t gonna be (R).

So God bless you and the fine work you’re doing!

 
 

Gary, why do you hate our freedom? Why do you hate America?

 
 

I call fake Gary. This Gary’s comments just don’t read like they usually do. The syntax is all wrong. And he’s too interactive. Not a single “The fact is…” all thread? Very suspicious.

Can we get IP confirmation that this poster isn’t just a Gary wannabe? Brad?

 
 

Gary is out of it. He mentions Tennessee, where Harold Ford voted for the bill.

No time for fact-checking – we’ve got faxes to transcribe.

And how did Gary get both the SadlyNo and Eschaton accounts? Why are there always two, but not more than two trolls in the first few comments on Kevin Drum’s site, yet said trolls never respond to or recognize each other’s comments? No ‘dittos’ or ‘hear, hear’ or ‘gotcherback, bro’?

 
 

Will you guys stop taunting my Gary and let him get on with his chores? If he hasn’t finished shaving the goats by tea-time he won’t get to see any of his favorite shows.

 
 

I think it’s a sockpuppet Gary on Atrios, and he doesn’t get neraly the attention there that he does here.

Moral to the story – don’t feed the animals.

 
 

Definitely not the old Gary. Seems to be some other gutless troll using Gary’s name. Or else Gary is on vacation in Thailand (seeing how a REAL government is run, right, Gar?) and asked his paste-eating younger brother to fill in for him.

 
 

But but but!!!! Them there’s breasts in the picture!!!! All pointed and stuff, directly towards the good Doctor.

It’s soooo insane, you guys discussing Gary’n’stuff when THERE ARE BREASTS ON THE LOOSE. For all anyone knows The Clenis (TM) might be somewhere in the background; or Amanda might be thinking about takin’ those breasts to NYC, filming along as she goes – that would be truly Pinky Kinky or somethin’.

Get real, dammit! Adress the breasts issues, not the trolls.

 
 

Gary is a memer of the family around here. His voice embodies the very ignorance we fight against. Would any of us be able to stay on-topic without Gary around?

Were Gary not here to thoughtlessly spout the conservative line, we would need to invent him.

In that way, only, Gary is much like God.

 
 

The kittens just signed their death certificates for November.

The kittens just lost their furry base with their concessions on the interrogation and litter bill.

And the kitten base will stay home in Ohio and Tennesssee and Missouri and Nimh.

The other kittens who dare to criticize this great bill will be reminded that their party was vital in the passage of the bill, and that they liked it enough that they refused to try obstructing it.

Any one of you angry kittens who actually stays with your party is a bigger sucker than the leadership of your party.

If you don’t show the other kittens that your vote isn’t automatic, then they won’t change.

Don’t vote for the kittens this fall, and show them that your angry kitten extremism is the base of the party, instead of the lazy liberalism of other kittens.

 
 

Alright, come out of there with your Talking Points in the air! Yeah, you. You’re under arrest for impersonating Gary Ruppert. Don’t make me come in there and get you….

“I heard you spend 16 hours a day at your computer!�

“Well, I, uhm…�

“That’s why I’m staring at your rack.”

 
 

That couldn’t have been the real Gary, those posts were at least on point…rambling and psychotic, but on point.
Something is terribly wrong.
I suggest we call a meeting of the “Crazy Liberals who want the Taliban to Rule the World” to try to figure this anomaly out.
Or something.

Shoot. That’s a good idea but I can’t make it. I’ve been praying to Mecca five times a day to try to appease the terrorists (mostly so they’ll kill some other Americans instead of me) and now my knees are all dirty…

mikey

 
 

The fact is Gary impersonators are so gauche.

 
 

Yeah! They should impersonate ME instead! Loosers!

Hell, my knees are all dirty, too, but it ain’t from praying toward Mecca!
[rimshot!]
Thank you, thank you, you’re too kind! Your waiter tonight is “Billy,” and try the veal. It’s faboo, *and* cruel to small, baby cows!

 
 

Coloured me confused.

Gary says people should not vote for Democrats because they cannot stop the evil done by others.

Instead they should punish the Democrats for the fact the GOP is evil. So let me guess; Gary would vote Chutulu(sp) 08 because “Why vote for the lesser evil?”

Silly me, a party that cannot stop evil is to me a party that is more desireable than a party which is actively trying to do the evil.

 
 

Gary, the other other white meat.

Bet he tastes nasty…

Crazy Liberals who want the Taliban to Rule the World, UNITE!

 
 

I’ve seen that picture of Reynolds so many times I’m beginning to have nightmares about it.

I heard they sell rolls of wallpaper online. The Grinning Hewitt pattern is also popular.

 
 

I use it as my desktop background.
