Former drama critic and neo-hobbit Mark Steyn gets all huffity puffity about flag seller/newly-minted professional victim and drama queen Kenny Gladney:
Gotta love this "post-racial America": Democrat union heavies can beat up a black guy using racial epithets and leave him in a wheelchair unable to speak — and happily (unlike, say, a black professor being asked for picture ID) it’s not "symbolic" of anything at all.
Here’s Kenny and his lawyer David "Totally Not Atticus Finch" Brown being interviewed a couple of days ago by Laura Ingraham who, artfully, leads Gladney through his testimony until she reluctantly allows Brown to speak and then Laura thinks better of it because he is obviously a dumbfuck.
At this rate, by next week teabaggers will be telling stories of how SEIU thugs held Gladney on the ground and FORCIBLY REMOVED ONE OF HIS KIDNEYS so that ACORN could sell it for crack for their crack babies.
It’s true.
Because it’s on the internet.

The fuck are those morans?
–Levi J.
And it’s not like anybody actually recorded the incident, so who’s going to dispute the fact that they stole his kidney and his corneas? Or the fact that they made him undergo a gay abortion right there in the street?
What? It WAS taped? Goddamn liberal technology!
You have to look very closely to notice that Not Atticus’s lips are moving when the dummy talks. Great ventriloquist routine!
He was on the ground for TWO SECONDS. Jesus Christ the drama queen.
Preschool boys scuffle on the playground with considerably less whining than He’s-So-Gladney.
But wait, there’s more!
In the video, when introducing Kenny and the attorney, the Fox News bimbette said that he (the attorney) was there and witnessed the incident. The attorney is just, literally, a garden variety ambulance chaser!
Wasn’t Mark Steyn one of the people who looked at the video of a mosque with a giant hole blown into the roof and concluded that it wasn’t “destroyed”? But Kenneth Gladney, he’s been totally destroyed.
His attorney was right there and saw the whole thing? How lucky is that?
Hey, the PalinBabyDaddy has been a little busy lately:

I want to see Kenny Gladragger’s full-length complete and signed birth certificate in triplicate, no photocopies, before I believe any of his claims.
Oh, and a piece of his mama’s umbilical cord and a DNA sample just to be sure.
Hat tip to Tbogg on the “legal Eagle” chapter of my favorite Jack Lemon movies – the Fortune Cookie.
In my postracial America, the fact that this idiot is black doesn’t mean jackshit ‘coz he’s still a freaking idiot! That’s postracialism I can believe in–just like I don’t care if MM is Asian, she still needs to STFU.
Once again T-Bogg, you left out most of the story.
This man had a bruised knee and headaches! Headaches!
I don’t see that anywhere in your print version.
You and your MSM buddies hiding the facts that he will no longer be able to operate his flag and pin business because of health care costs.
I do like the fact that a guy selling pins and flags “just happens” to bring his lawyer to this little protest and no one comments on THAT!
ATTICUS!…ATTICUS!…ATTICUS!
Hunh? Oh. Sorry.
Campaign music by Creed! After all, they’re doing their 2009 “Victory” Tour too!
His appearance on Fox would have been a lot more dramatic and effective if he had been nailed to a cross.
OMFG, Stop the Toobz!!!1! (because “stop the presses” just isn’t what it was):
Tom Cruise’s son in “Red Dawn” remake
This should be fun!
Preferably using one of these.
This will create a real dilemma for Red State and Big Hollywood: how will they be able to stop fapping long enough to offer all of their suggestions for making this a sufficiently wholesome, patriotic, and inspiring movie?
It really is post-racial America. The wingnuts absolutely refuse to recognize the color of the union thug who committed this assault. Hint – “It’s the black guy!” as Gladney says on the video.
Two words for KennyBoy – Frivolous lawsuit. If you don’t believe me ask Justice Scalia.
Gah. I’m so confused.
Other than that this guy (and his lawyer friend) are lookin’ for a big payday, I don’t really understand what the protestors want. Other than to have their day in the sun and destroy Obama, I mean, I really don’t understand what they way.
What would they suggest for healthcare reform? They like things the way they are?
Gah.
way is want, of course.
I wonder if his lawyer got to the part in his legal ethics class in law school where they taught that you can’t represent someone if you might be called to give testimony in the case.
Andrew Sullivan via UggaBugga… the vicious anger from the far right, which is to say what is currently the right, seems totally out of proportion to these reforms. Where does that come from? It comes from the same place as the tea-party protests. It’s partisan … But it is also surely cultural – an expression of the rage some in white America feel at the new social make-up of their country.
You believe a fake America has taken over. You cannot understand this. So you start believing that we have a fascist/communist dictatorship, that there was some fraud allowing a non-citizen to become president, that the government is about to “take over” all healthcare provision … and on and on…
Well, they can always call on Ross “Don’t Douthat” for guidance. He seems to have turned into some sort of expert on conservative filmography…
Isn’t it obvious what the strategery is?
The whole point is to show what would happen with a single-payer or public option health plan: obnoxiouis whiney hypocondriacs like Gladney would be able to overuse the system, at great expense and even greater annoyance to anyone unlucky enough to be within earshot.
And it makes sense that Gladney is unemployed and uninsured, since it’s totally a firing offence to overutilize your employer’s heath plan and get a second lobotomy.
Considering these mofos think waterboarding isn’t torture you gotta wonder how they think Gladney hopping up and down waving his arms after being on the ground for two seconds qualified as a beating.
“Call Central Casting! Douthat wants to see a chunky Reese Witherspoon as the female lead!”
He’s a Republican; any non-wingnut “friends” would need to be on retainer, anyway.

Also fueling their rage (Although they won’t admit it) are the betrayals by Vitter, Ensign, Sanford, et al. Evangelist Tony Alamo, convicted of transporting underage girls across state lines for sexual purposes, is just the latest in a string of high-profile evangelists caught doing low deeds – which isn’t exactly a ringing endorsement of that ole time religion. Then there was the rapidity with which their rising stars, Palin and Jindal, became punchlines. Mix in the fact that Jeebus isn’t supposed to let any of this happen, add a pinch of joblessness, and voila: these people have become fissionable material.
Thanks TBogg. After what was reported Thursday night I couldn’t believe that guy had severe enough injuries to be in a wheelchair. Even my dad agreed that showing up on purpose to be a mob with the Republican leadership cheering you on is proto-fascist, but they can still make themselves look ridiculous. OTOH if they are running this circus it might have been safe for Claire McCaskill to have her town hall across the street, but they cancelled it on Friday.
well, that’s what happens when you sign an organ donor card.
This is Red Dawn, the Remake we’re taking about. I bet Reese Witherspoon would be happy to gain twenty to thirty pounds (a la Renee Zellweger or Robert DeNiro)to land the lead.
Wolverines!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is poor Kenny, who is begging for medical donations, so deluded he hires a real estate lawyer for a personal injury case?
Or does he think the Union worker who bumped into him is gonna buy him a house?
I wonder what kind of pain killer leaves you unable to speak? Especially when that pain is a black&blue on your flabby arm.
