I saw Gomer’s headline and expected him to accuse Greenwald of posting in his own support under a fake name…you know, “sock puppetry”.

Clearly, in expecting him to know what the terms he uses actually mean, instead of what he imagines they mean, I was heavily overestimating Gomer’s undertaking.

Wow! Greenwald picks up a bat and beats Gomer like a rented mule.

I loved this line from Glenn– “Yet even with the slow, clear explanation I provided, you still waddled away confused and disoriented — “

Talk about a beat-down.

It’s not so much that it’s a beat down.

It’s like watching a dude who gave up before the fight began, who then gets beaten like a drunken Brit at a Bayern Munich match.

Ya gotta give the guy props for leaving the comments up, though.

OK, back to the beat down.

The expression “bringing a knife to a a gunfight” comes to mind when reading Gomer trying to debate Glenn.

Yup, props to the guy who actually thought he had seen enough episodes of “Law and Order” to believe he was playing another game of “I know you are, but what am I?”

Jailhouse lawyer, indeed.

a rubber knife

I’m visualizing Gomer’s reaction upon coming back after he posted his little exposition and seeing that Comment #1 is from Glenn.

ouch…

Couldn’t have worked out better that the first comment is from Glenn slapping down his Yankee Biatch!!!

You hear that CY? You are Glenn Greenwalds BITCH!

You are a bit off base with that youtube clip. I have it on a reliable source that the Confederate Yankee saw Glenn’s reply… …and this was the predictable reaction.

It is funny how many stupid people choose to advertise their stupidity by publishing a blog on a regular basis. Seeing CY trying to take on Greenwald was a lot like watching the Hawaii offensive line try and stop the UGA pass rush- one side never had a chance.

Is it the Almighty power of a TBogg link? Or is Confederate Yankee’s site down for the occasionally necessary maintenance (to wipe the egg off).

the site is back up … egg and all …

oh, some mighty fine snark there. Glenn is one busy man these days — in addition to dealing with a petulant and childish John King (”don’t you dare call me on my bullshit — I’ve been serving it up with impunity for decades”) he also has to teach remedial english to CY and his cohort of mouth breathers (”technically, I guess dropping out of vocational school leaves me lacking in legal skills, but I think the Nevada judgement in Kucinich v. MSNBC sucked…”). His ability to do so gracefully and eloquently makes him an honorary basset hound in my book.

No, really, it’s meant as a compliment.

I think Gomer must be a masochist. Besides, if he took down the negative comments there wouldn’t be many left and those remaining wouldn’t have any context.

I stand corrected

Whatever his response, seeing that first comment from Glenzilla must have been a sphincter-tightening moment…

….. or maybe not. Self-awareness is not rampant over there in Wingnutia.

And here I thought for sure this was going to be about the Huckster wanting to change the constitution he’s asking people to hire him to defend.

Yeah, that’s what’s wrong with Michigan’s economy: too much government regulation.

This level of ignorance and bad faith is willful. But how can they have absolutely no shame about it?

Oooops! Wrong thread. My bad. Sorry.

Glennzilla!

Love “Inherit the Wind.” I was in a community production of it in a background role when I was about 12 years old, playing, you know, a kid watching the proceedings. Which was what I really was doing.

With rehearsals and the performances I had the entire play memorized, and probably could have written a thesis on what it was about. What an educational opportunity that was.

Okay, now I actually clicked the link to the right-wing site and saw the degree of moronicity on display. Is there some “liberal dog-whistle” message concealed in Greenwald’s writing that nutwingers can’t hear?

Greenwald’s writing seems clear and lucid, logical and built upon observable and agreed on facts. He provides evidence to support every one of his claims.

What are the nutwingers missing?

a brain and a sense of decency???

“Precisely with morons like you in mind”

It’s not that they’re missing something, they just don’t know what the fuck they’re talking about, and every time one of these dipshits tries to take on an individual who does know their stuff, they get stuffed back into the locker.

Why the hell do you argue with a lawyer on detailed points of law when your only degree is in dumbfuckery?

Great comment thread. Times like this I almost wish I hadn’t been banned over there.

Still…it was worth it.

You got banned just for that. It seemed a little tame next to today’s thread over there. Maybe he couldn’t figure out what elide meant.

Okay that comment thread made me laugh out loud. Thanks for the giggles Tom! CY is a tool….but you already knew that.

I’ve seen his picture and I think this Confederate Yankee fella keeps his brains in his chin.

BTW TomHilton, You’ve linked to that banning episode before but it’s really just as good the 2nd time around.LOL.

CY is a few units short of a full degree.

Plus, he deleted my comment from last night, something along the lines of

“You see? This is what happens when Mr. please-buy-me-a-bar-bee-que steps into the world of facts.

There be dragons.”

Thanks. It’s kind of sad, really: my finest moment in the blogosphere, and it wasn’t even at my own blog…

He must be touchy about that barbecue.

I’d be touchy too if every time I posted some more dumbassedness I got hammered like a reveler at a New York City St. Patrick’s Day parade.

My favorite comment at CY’s bonfire of the inanities:

“conservative + keyboard = moron”

I’d like to add the following equation to the mix:

“conservative + wind-abused BBQ = whiney-assed beggar of handouts and undeserved charity”

Bar-B-Q at Gomer’s place???

I wonder how many of them it takes to catch the possum?

on a related note–

How many wingnuts does it take to eat a possum???

Two.
One with a knife and fork—and one to watch for traffic.

My lands! That Glenn just tore that dumb boy’s chin clean off!
