The 2011 edition of the Kenneth Gladney is out and Eric Boehlert has the video.
Since reality has a liberal bias, here is what you just saw in Tea Baggese:
“He bum rushed across the street, came right at us, swung his bullhorn at me, hit me in the hand and then put his hand around my throat and started choking me,” Rodney Stanhope of Placerville said.
The injured Mr, Stanhope then went to the hospital for “x-rays and treatment for the injuries sustained”. This is why medical insurance is so high; tea baggers running off to the emergency room every time their imagination suffers blunt force trauma..

Just wait’ll the teabagger goes all “kamakaze” on your hippy ass with his taxpayer subsidized HoverRound!
(By the way, what are we this week, pinko commie fags, union thugs, drug addled hippies? I can’t keep this shit straight.)
ER doctor: I’m sorry, Mr. Bagger. I have some bad news. The various tests show your chest is now concave, your heart is two sizes too small, and you’ve apparently suffered irreparable brain damage.
Teabagger: I had all that before.
ER doctor: Oh. Well, the tests still need to be paid for.
Teabagger: Here’s my Medicare card.
ER doctor: Our state turned down Medicare funds. Sorry. That will be $12,432.
Teabagger: Ummmm….Wolverines?
Someone got shoved. At a demonstration. Shoved. And the shover was immediately told to cool it by fellow demonstrators and police.
Was sort of hoping the start of the Great Liberal-Fascist-Socialist-Islamo-Thuggist Revolution would have a little more, I dunno, pizazz.
Shoving people is wrong. I won’t condone that. That being said, if one of the two sides should be labeled as “thugs” I’m going to go with the side that curb-stomps women and actively encourages its members to bring their guns to a protest.
From that article:
Yeah, it never does, does it?
Another wild Wingnut story with a virgin birth, untouched by fact. And it shall now be repeateth anywayeth, sayeth the Murdoch. Verily.
I haven’t seen a blow that hard since I went to bed last night and a feather from my pillow floated into the air and landed gently on my cheek.
Funny how that works, innit?
Just like no teabagger ever spit at the black congressman, because Breitbart had video from the following day and it didn’t show anyone getting spit on.
So if it’s not on video and the teabaggers say it didn’t happen, it didn’t. If it is on video and the teabaggers say it did happen, it did.
Hey, I thought that the wimpy guy who asked the police to save him was the liberal, and the tough-looking bald guy was the right winger. So much for stereotypes.
Hey Gladney, what’s that feller’s nose taste like? You sure as hell took a big enough bite out of it just before he shoved you off him.
Always a great way to start fight and claim self-defense…
Well, I guess in this instance, MARTYRDUMB!!1!!!
I haven’t seen anyone point and whine like that since I took a cookie from my brother. When I was 6.
Being of delicate sensibilities, I had the sound off and missed the whine, but I noticed the point, too. Now (speaking as a Caucasoid-American) it’s my understanding that that kind of pointing is a Serious Affront Direct – - IF it’s done by an African-American woman.
By a weedy white man in a weedy white shirt, I dunno.
I laughed just reading the guy’s name. Rodney Stanhope sounds like he ought to be riding to Pearl Pureheart’s rescue in a Jay Ward cartoon, or at the very least adorning a great novel such as Wuthering Crybabies, False Pride And Lots Of Prejudice, or the classic Nonsense and Insensibility.
Fortunately, The Fight was broken up before Roddy went all Jet Li* on their bum-rushin‘ asses.
* The Shaolin Pointy-Finger-Whining-Teabagger, a nearly extinct martial art style, is characterized by use of 2 wetsuits, rope and a dildo.
While usually a large animal, such as a horse, is needed to step between The Teabagger and his conquest, sometimes the offer of a smaller “take-home” animal, such as a sheep or a nutria, is enough to defuse the situation.
THAT MADE MY DAY! Hilarious. So true. I would wear that on a tshirt.
Because he was the first, I propose we name incidents like this a gladney. Perhaps a submission to the Urban dictionary.
Gladney (n.) – an act of exaggerated reaction to a rather benign altercation. The ‘victim’ may provoke the target into actual physical contact which provides the necessary context to claim gross physical assault. A gladney works best when there’s no videotape to prove the ‘victim’ to be a lying wormweasel that he is.
if i had to make a call i would say the commish got up in the passive aggressive teagenerate’s grill a wee bit too close, but rodney was going all red state strike force in the crosswalk so zzzzzzz. anyway, it is so obvious that he was trying to draw a flag that he needs to go away STAT. as for the bullhorn smackdown and the choking, i think we’d have to be neo and slow it down matrix style because you know, not.
It’s been a good week!
We have a “gladney” and a “worthing” added to the lexicon, though I’m not sure how Urban-Worthing will play out.
Just thought I would post a “Basset-in-need” alert! John Cole at Balloon Juice posted a call for help for a basset named Lucy who was rescued and needs a HUGE lump removed….Looking at her, she may be a bagel (basset/beagle), but the lump is awful and must be removed. How can people let things get so bad?
Wow. I’ve watched it 2x now – sound lousy, so I couldn’t make out the argument, but I thought the short bald guy was the teabagger, too.
OTOH, how big a crybaby do you have to be to call a cop on a guy a foot and a half shorter than you? For a few pushes? Tell me that even hurt.
An’ I’m a gurrrl! Sheesh, what wimps. Would-be victims, yeah.
Gladney has sure joined the RW mythology- a week or so ago I was skimming comments somewhere or other, and came across a winger’s comment making outraged reference to Gladney’s turrble injuries at the hands of a “unionthug.” (they obviously can’t say one word without the other, so it’s become a single word.)
Ooops, guess that should have been “Hey Stanhope”, ah well.
Uh, Which state capital? Palm trees!!!
Damn, you caught that. I was going to be first, besides Keith Olberman who noticed it on Bill Ocrap.
Nice Palm trees
This, this here:
Pure genius.
Watering The Tree of Liberty by wringing out the Depends
Now you see the violence inherent in the system!
