Until Kimberlin apologizes for eating that guy’s face, he’s dead to me.

Someone should arrange a steel cage death match between Brett Kimberlain and George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina the animated corpse of Nose Candy Andy Breitbart.

That the left would celebrate such an ill-informed and frightening ruling is further proof that “progressivism” — for all its talk of fairness and protection for the little guy — is about nothing more than power and control. And any way they can seize it is fine with them, the ends justifying the means and all.

Damn! That putz Godlstein found us out!!!

Also: No wonder all these kooks need their guns.

inherently egalitarian, and so inherently anti-liberty and, in the strictest sense therefore anti-American

Indeed, that would seem self-evident.

…how and why progressives adopt a particular view of language and a particularly convenient anti-foundationalist epistemological stance…

What the fuck is that even supposed to mean? All of these fright-wing wankers want to sound like eloquent rugged individualist tough-guys like their imaginary hero John Galt, yet they all piss their pants in fear at the sight of anyone not wearing a tri-corner hat and a misspelled sign.

Someone needs to tell them that their nonsensical screeds are really – gasp! – manifestos!

Petesh…. followed the link! Love it. My thoughts exactly.

This is just beautiful from the link describing the court appearance;

The judge then said that Walker was the type who didn’t want to get into it “mano-y-mano” with Kimberlin but “you want to get together with all of your friends, who have nothing else to do with their time, in this judge’s opinion … and you are creating a conflagration, and you don’t care where it goes. And so you get some freak out in Oklahoma with nothing better to do with his time, so he does the nastiest things he can to this poor gentlemen (Kimberlin). What right does he have to do that?”
“He has no right to do that, your honor,” Walker replied.
“But you incited him,” Vaughey said.
The judge then went into brief discussion on how these things were settled where he grew up in Brooklyn.

Judge Vaughey, tonight at happy hour I will buy an extra Guinness, just so I can clink a toast to you.

I’ve dared to read some of the links, but, for the life of me, I really cannot figure out what’s going on with this kerfuffle. Who is Kimberlin, and why does rightwing blogistan have it’s collective panties inna bunch over him?

OTOH, do I care? Methinks: Nope. Sounds too dopey for me. Onwards…

Although as usual I enjoyed this post, I plan to remain ignorant of the Kimberlin threat and it’s attendant lawsuits. It’s too enervating. Over at Whiskey Fire, Thers is actually reading Jonah Goldberg’s new book.

And there is joy that teh Bushmill’s is in teh house!

“I’m sure President Barack Obama would be addressing this important legal ruling at this very moment, but right now he’s busy apologizing for nuking Poland or something…”

Or he’s looking at his “kill list” with his re-election adviser, deciding which possibly innocent people to destroy with missiles just in case they are terrorists.

Precisely….{{staggers out the door and falls on face.}} Did I just fall down ? I didn’t think so.

Which is why it isn’t at all unhelpful or “fundamentally unserious” to point out how and why progressives adopt a particular view of language and a particularly convenient anti-foundationalist epistemological stance: it is through the institutionalizing of the collectivist assumptions inherent in the left’s philosophical outlook (which is inherently egalitarian, and so inherently anti-liberty and, in the strictest sense therefore anti-American) that they’ve been able to lay the foundation for the normalizing of a postmodernist worldview, one in which Enlightenment principles are overthrown and replaced by a cheap relativism in order to reach an end stage where a mandate to rule is the product of coalition politics, a Balkanized society, and manufactured consent aided greatly by a compliant propaganda arm in the media.

Whatever Goldstein’s worldview really is, you can’t discern it from this terrible, terrible run-on sentence. I mean, seriously: this is word spaghetti.

My first thought after reading that passage was that it was Palinesque.

Willard’s hunt for Veep may be over.

Either it’s word salad or he’s found some new “lorem wingnut” generator. Me? I like bacon. For some reason this site won’t let me do an embedded linky. http://www.baconipsum.com. Yum!

According to this logic, Charlie Manson should not have been imprisoned. After all, he didn’t kill anyone, he just told other people to do it.

That run-on sentence makes no sense, but oh my, the gut-sense truthiness factor is impressive. We should all salute our thesaurus’s (thesauri?) for the hard work they have done on this day.

Hemingway would have said “It felt good to write the sentence.”

I hadn’t really noticed it was one sentence. I was just simply in awe of that writers ability to string together impressive words

Given what I’ve experienced of Aaron Worthing, he’s a dick with a propensity to act in bad faith. That means that I’m not inclined to accept his version of what happened as true. But I don’t know it’s false, either. It’s for the justice system to decide, which it seems to be doing.

Hell, just arrange between Kimberlin and Walker, like the Judge suggested. Oh, and invite Stacy McCain, so the loser still can feel superior to someone

Godlstein NEVER makes sense, but he sure like writing nonsense

Had he done it on the internet through a blog and then feigned innocence, he would have Walker’s outraged defenders, like Volokh Conspiracy’s Eugene Volokh and Jonathon Adler, Glenn Beck, Instapundit, and Hans Bader, the in-house CEI lawyer, to defend him.

The only TBogg has wrong on this is that the right wingers team concept has meant “A list” conservative blogs have been wanking on this too

Damn. “Arrange a fight with…”

So – what’s everyone having for Jubilee Luncheon?

Yeah and he’d better apologize for The Fix being in during the NBA ping-pong-ball-draft-a-palooza scam (for which I blamed Emperor Obama before realizing he (and the duopoly.bitches.getsome) is busy tracking down tanbark for drone missile assassination)…

Won’t work, you need to have some substance to set-off the trigger in the warhead.

…maybe just the dirty socialist who lives under their beds and is going to shove universal healthcare down their throats while they sleep.

Please. Focus on the details. It’s “ram universal healthcare down their throats”. “Shove” just doesn’t quite give them the same little frisson of horror, nor yet does it play nicely with wingnut fetishes.

And no, I don’t want to think any more about wingnut fetishes. Some images are just too vile to dwell upon.

Sixgill,

As Mark Twain wisely cautioned, “Never use a fifty-cent word when a nickle one will serve as well.” As with Sarah Palin’s convoluted word salad, considerable interpretation, interpolation and translation is required to to boil Goldstein’s sentences down to their essences.

Which, near as I can figure are: Liberals believe in equality of opportunity for everyone (because they are egalitarians who favor a democratic form of government), and that’s un American because if All men (probably not women, of course–Founding Fathers considered women “property”, same as slaves, indentured servants, Indians, blacks, and the rest of the unworthy) are equal, then this country will collapse into fifty Country States same as what happened to the USSR . . . And for some reason that’s the corporate media’s fault, and liberals and Obama,also, too.

The man’s argument is a cake of manure covered in frosting. You’d have to be a damn fool to consume that shit.

…that they’ve been able to lay the foundation for the normalizing of a postmodernist worldview, one in which Enlightenment principles are overthrown…

Apparently he didn’t get the memo that in right-wing circles, the Enlightenment is no longer considered such a good thing, but rather the beginning of everything going to hell in a handbasket. He needs to familiarize himself with some Rick Santorum and Janice Rogers Brown speeches.

“…but right now he’s busy apologizing for nuking Poland, or something…”

Actually, he referred to Auschwitz as “a Polish death camp”…which makes it sound as if the Poles were running it, instead of the Nazis. Since quite a few Poles were exterminated there, some of them quickly got a bit of a hard-on about the reference…which seems understandable.

Oh. So far, I don’t think Obama HAS apologized.

Most of the Poles exterminated there were Jews, and many with the cooperation of non-Jewish Poles.

I can understand to a minor degree why the Poles are objecting, but anyone pretending this is a big deal is a worthless idiot. Maybe the Poles should be more worried about current reality when it comes to anti-Semitism, but they don’t seem to be:

God darnit, Mr. Goldstein, you use your tongue prettier than a twenty dollar whore.

So when the Huffington Post, or Current TV, or good old FireDogLake, refers to “Pakistani Drone Attacks,” does that suggest that Pakistan is pulling the trigger, and they really should apologize for their terrible insensitivity? Or is it instead a matter of the way that adjectives work in the English language?

one in which Enlightenment principles are overthrown

?!? I guess this is more “liberal fascism” bullshit, since liberalism is pretty much synonymous with the Enlightenment, and conservatives have repeatedly shown their belligerence toward empiricism and the reality-based community (global warming, economics, tax policy, evolution, the ineffectiveness of torture, weapons of mass destruction, Kenyan births, terror babies, gay marriage plots, and Glenn Beck’s wisdom, etc.)

Since the birth of my son about a year ago, I have much less time to invest in reading about petty little slap fights between D list bloggers. Another in a long list of reasons I wish I had started a family years ago. I’m blissfully unaware of the existence of most of these people. Unfortunately my son wasn’t born early enough to keep me ignorant of Godlstein.

…The illegitimate spawn of William F. Buckley and Sarah Palin?
