McMegan and all of her libertarian friends are going to bat for the teabaggers who are being unfairly lumped in with their Nazi-policy-invoking death-panel-fearing gun-toting batshit-crazy birther brethren because the liberals are being all mean and hypocritical.
A series of posts at Reason illustrates that the liberal rage at right-wing loonies is starting to sound, well, a little loonie
[...]
We’ll leave aside the garden-variety hypocrisy of people who have suddenly discovered that dissent may not always be the highest form of patriotism. (And, to be fair, those who have suddenly rediscovered their right to peaceably assemble and demand redress of grievances)
Yes. Let’s leave that aside:
I can’t be mad at these little dweebs. I’m too busy laughing. And I think some in New York are going to laugh even harder when they try to unleash some civil disobedience, Lenin style, and some New Yorker who understands the horrors of war all too well picks up a two-by-four and teaches them how very effective violence can be when it’s applied in a firm, pre-emptive manner.
I sometimes think McMegan’s brain decided to go Galt on her months ago and it forgot to leave a note.

Of course, to Megan, there is an absolute equivalency between someone showing up heavily armed at a presidential event, and someone wearing a T-shirt with “Impeach Bush” on it. It’s the same way that some guy with a sign on a street corner in Podunk is exactly as powerful as Rush Limbaugh.
As you can see, Megan’s idea of “equivalency” explains quite clearly why her grasp of economics is so poor.
It’s not the dissent we object to, Megan-Jane, it’s the “being enormous, violent assholes while dissenting” that’s problematic.
‘Tis a mystery why the rough, tough Town Hall arms-bearers have not been tarred with an epithet similar to “DFH.”
They have been… ‘douche-bags’
in case you missed it Mr TBogg -
hmmmm, looks like someone else has been following McMeghan’s work as well
oh and do scroll down for his fabu snark on Kenneth Gladney
I expect the conservatives to become unhinged; it’s the normal response to losing power.
A. I just bet she didn’t say this about liberals in, say, 2004.
B. The normal response? Really?
If McMegan saw last night’s Daily Show riff on how FNC is now “liberal”, her response would be best summarized as “I don’t get it.”
Ahem. Brewer failed to mention the guy with the assault rifle was black because she was talking about another guy there with an assault rifle who was white.
Shorter Megan: Hey, look! If you shoot at journalists feet you can make them do a silly dance. Hahahahaha! Loonie journalists!
Oh my. From Roger’s post this from Purvis Ames is my personal “best comment of the day:”
“From the very first few words I knew it was Megan. Personally I find her a great literary stylist but then I’m only four years old.”
And I think some in New York are going to laugh even harder when they try to unleash some civil disobedience, Lenin style, and some New Yorker who understands the horrors of war all too well…
Someone’s going to laugh when someone else hits them with a two-by-four? That’s almost as improbable as the notion of an average person leaping to the defense of I-got-mine-so-fuck-you glibertarians like Meeg who wouldn’t deign to piss on an average person even if that person was on fire.
McMegan’s brain saw where it was and went Galt at birth.
May her genitalia be infested with something as ugly as that which infests her mind.
who would notice?
Ouch Dennis. Since JDM3 seems to be MIA, are you picking up the gauntlet?
“the liberal rage at right-wing loonies is starting to sound, well, a little loonie”
Um, a loonie is Canadian currency: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C…..ollar_coin
Dictionary is your friend.
Note to Megan: That piece of paper thingy sez: “the right to peaceably assemble.”
Doofus
Despite having served in the fighting Navy, I wouldn’t presume to intrude on JDM3’s territory. Child of privilege and recipient of an undeserved podium Megan typifies what’s wrong with what passes for journalism and editorial comment in America thus my ill wishes for her.
Fucking bitch really pisses me the fuck off. Yes, it’s so totally the same, MM, us DFH and those TBI (Tea-Baggin’ Imbeciles). Name me ONE time a DFH toted a gun to a W. event. Wait, wait, name me one fucking time a DFH was allowed out of the “free speech zone” when dickwad W. was in town.
And then, dear MM, you can fucking tell me how you talk with that mouth of yours when it really is a giant asshole spewing out shit.
Well, as a former New York City resident I know I was ALWAYS carrying a 2×4 with me… just in case…
Thanks, I had forgotten that piece of shit post. It’s a good reminder.
McMegan’s tough talk in that old post is bad enough, but the pretense that she knows jack shit about war, especially when she’s blithely, childishly agitating for it, is what exposes her for a fucking idiot even without all her Randian crap.
Shorter: MeMeMegan: Liberals are always wrong even when they’re not and conservatives are never wrong even when they are.
And as ever, I must point out that McCurdle, daughter of a skid-greasing New York contractor, defended herself after that comment by saying that she didn’t know the size of a two-by-four.
“Talk of death panels and crazy signs is, if polls are to be believed, a tiny fringe of the many Americans who do not like this health care plan much.”
Jesus, I didn’t even need to leave the site.
45% Of Americans Believe, Falsely, That Obama Will Create Death Panels

Mr. Clarke is filling in for Sullivan
Hacksaw Jim Dugan and McMegan together again. I can see it now.
The size of a 2×4 is something of a trick question. Last time I did carpentry it was 1 3/4 by 3 3/4 but I could be wrong. It was a long time ago.
jeez, what kind of argula-chompin’ elitist 2×4 you got there? Ol’ Doug’s spinning in his grave fir sure…
And you’re correct. They still are.
It takes a man with big hands to wield a 2 x 4. It takes anybody with a once of sense to wield the 2 x 4 of reason and logic in an effective way.
Yes. Learned this studying architectural drafting in high school. High school is also when I read The Fountainhead. Permanently turned me off architecture as a career, especially when I couldn’t figure out what Howard Roark was using as structural framing so the building could stand up. (Objectivist magic?)
And the “National Rifle Association President Wayne LaPierre’s Godwin’s Law comment about “jackbooted government thugs” was the worst thing ever” link goes to an article about noted crazy liberal George Bush resigning his NRA membership over the statement – that’s it. She either didn’t investigate her “evidence” or hopes her readers don’t.
McMegan is living proof that the Obama-style “Socialized Medicine” she fears could work in this country: You don’t have to worry about pain because she has no soul; you don’t have to worry about over-anesthetizing or over-medicating her because she’s already brain-dead; and best of all, you could replace her lips with her asshole and no one would notice!
Not where I come from. 1.5 X 3.5 –you gotta sandwich a 1/2″ piece of plywood between two two-bys to make a proper width header.
