Actually, “a shiftless rent-a-cooch from East Whoreville” is kinda funny.

With the proper training and reprogramming, Bizarro 5 President could aim his snark at the right people and be a force for good in the world.

Actually, “a shiftless rent-a-cooch from East Whoreville” is kinda funny.

Um, no.

So they’re stomping up to their room and slamming the door going silent in protest on the same day the people who give them all their money are handing out their phony awards, and would presumably like them to blog about them.

Awesome.

I think that there is probably just a big sale on Cheetos at the Wal-Marts that Ace’O wanted to get to instead of blog today.

Perhaps I should clarify. As a descriptor for, say, Doug Lamborn, it’s quite apt, and insulting.

What is it about Sandra Fluke that drives these guys crazy? She has maintained an amazing quiet dignity in the face of a lot of foam-flecked abuse. A classy lady.

In the end, this is another example of Obama showing utter disregard for the First Amendment.

He’s forced them to silence themselves. Ergo, he has censored them.

QED. That is some slick move by the Kenyan usurper.

I dream of a world when every day can be NW-STFU Day.

I thought the force seemed brighter and calmer today.

Ace knows from whores. He’s pretty sure one was living in the trailer next to his, as the stench of bacon and Play-Doh was overpowering.

Awesome display of blog-power! Shut down the sluice of FACTZ!!! about the KommyKenyanKlown and his cabal of FascistHandmaidens & IslamoSoshalests!!!

That’ll show ‘em!

Silence is the new strategy for Reclaiming Our Republick!!! If our mouths are closed, they can’t shove their agenda down our throats!!!

Really? Are they going to shut up? Wouldn’t it be more effective if they take, say, a month off?

What is it about Sandra Fluke that drives these guys crazy?

I had the same question until I remembered that the dreaded & dreadful & most horrible Sandra Fluke was the cause of the great Obi-Wan-Limbaugh having to apologize for, like, probably the first time evah! to a dastardly dirty nasty LIEbrul, and to top it off, a despicable lady-parts FemiNazi advocating for the little wimminz to have autonomy over their sex lives, no less.

Also, too, these cheeto-breathed keyboard warriors probably never get any ever. Hence the undeniable hatred of all those with lady-bits who must be FemiNazis fully deserving of all scorn & derision by such masterful manly conservamales, who are so classy! Keep it realz, dudez.

You know what else is teh awesome?

Brett Kimberlin subpeonaed Nadia Naffe (sp?) to release all emails between herself and James O’Queef and Big Dead Breitbart, in his action against Sean Allen (I think that’s the guy’s name).

I really have no idea what’s going on with all the Kimberlin stuff, but I do think it’s awesome that a judge is going to get to look at a bunch of emails between the Brentwood Speedbump and his minions.

Is it a protest or mere laziness?

Even their efforts to Go Galt are half-assed. For one day, people will be left in the dark on the latest updates on the Breitbart poisoning/execution/hit and run. The humanity!

Of course, most people’s sentiments echo the great Mark Twain on his death:

I didn’t attend the funeral, but I sent a nice letter saying that I approved of it.

I don’t know, but it seems to me they may have used the day off to write sensational and misleading headliness for Huffington Post articles.

Also, Naffe has filed suit against Patterico for publishing her SS# and private medical information online.

How does this guy keep his job as a “public servant”?

you laiugh now, but without the whoreville reddenbackers, who will make us popcorn?

I declare it “National If You Agree With Liberals Don’t Say Anything On Your Rightwing Blog Day”.

Sure, go ahead and laugh
No John Galt to kick around
Leaves your souls empty

They needed a cover for the lack of posts due to the fact they are being flown out to Providence, RI to be briefed on the latest ways to Fuck Over Families and update their Koch Porn collections.

In the case of award-winning Ace ‘O Spades we shall be deprived for a fortnight of hard-hitting commonsense conservative commentary

Trooly? A fortnight is two weeks, T. Yeah, I know: dream big.

That’s exactly it. Actual classiness infuriates them like they were vampires hit with a holy-water firehose.

The only way she could make them any angrier would be for her to be a black woman. (See also: Sherrod, Shirley.)

Oooooooh! So that’s why they hate Brett Kimberlin!

I’m having visions of James O’Keefe being sent to the slammer on a sex-offender charge, and the whole rest of the Breitbart groupie empire going into a tizzy. The stupider ones will of course be setting up a “legal defense fund” for him, which will get maybe $500 in donations, most of which will go to buying a few beer kegs for the office parties. The smarter ones will have quietly found the exits.

Don’t stop now, conservatives! The horror of the Aaron Walker tragedy demands weeks, nay, months of silence from you! How will people get the point otherwise?!

Actual classiness infuriates them

Hmm. Maybe I should try that sometime. Is there a course I can take?

Uhh, I think the offense just starts with 1. Being a female person + 2. Very smart…..it’s all, well, just too much. She doesn’t know her place, obviously. /s

Off-topic, but I just posted on someone’s Facebook page in response to photos of GW Bush and Bradley Manning side by side that Bush is the only living president to get under 50% approval rating. The fellow is a very strong Roman Catholic and got a comment from a follower of his: “I prefer Bush to Obama. I’m a pacifist and a consistent life ethic supporter. Democratic and Republican presidents are always pro-war, but Obama isalso the most fanatically pro-abortion president in U.S. history.” and from another: “I’ve never liked the Bush’s ( Esp., 41′. ), but . . Obama’s Marxist ass; isn’t exactly “rocking my boat”, either. I’m also anti – Abortion ( Past the 1st Tri – Mester, & . . the point of “Sentient Self – Awareness”. ).”
I mean…wow…just…wow. Never mind that Bush wrecked the country, gave it over to criminals, destroyed the world’s economy and presided over assorted disasters, the fact that he eagerly stomped all over women’s right to choose makes him a hero…!

So much for their followers following, huh?

The neo-con commenters should follow the example of their authors and STFU. At least for a day.

a one day 40% decrease in the usage of the words ‘Kenyan’, ‘socialist’, ‘Communist’, ‘lieberals’, ‘O-hole-bummer’

To get the other 60%, you’d have to shut down FDL and the DKos comics page.

Glad you reported this. Confirms the rabidness of the opponents. On the other hand, no one says, O yeah, I am realllly for abortion. The opponents cannot have a nuanced or rational conversation….QED. Thanks.

Wow. Everyone here is playing nice! Why you wanna go and do dat mayne?

That’s just plain funny.

I don’t understand the Orville Reddenbacker reference.
Kris???????

Yeah dude. Misogyny is fucking hilarious.

Feel free to shut the fuck up now, SWM asshole. Your g/f wishes you would too.

I figured it was just a play on words, and Orville Reddenbacker was just a convenient twist of phrase. I don’t think popcorn necessarily has anything to do with the story itself :)

There. Now that I had to explain it, it’s not funny anymore. Are you happy? You ruined the effing joke.

Sorry ’bout that chief.

TBogg seems to have a slightly different following that the other authors on the site.

They’re smarter than us :) And never miss an opportunity to point it out.

It’s okay though. If you resign yourself to being insulted and playing a subservient role, it eventually starts to feel good. In a dirty ‘I paid for this sex with my rent money and I’m going to have to explain it to my wife’ kind of way.

Sorry, couldn’t resist. I exempt Mr. Bogg from the FDL crack, natch.

You can always tell the intention by the way it turns out. There are no exceptions possible.

Wow if only a day really did exist.

A day without Rush. Glenn Beck shuts the fuck up. No Faux News. Hell, every 24 hour news station would have to either STFU or actually *shudder* REPORT THE NEWS!

What a joyous day it would be. If it were on a Monday, that would even make Monday the best day of the week. I think.

Ouch, dude.

I beg fogiveness. You are clearly a superior moral and intellectual being.

No, I’m pretty average on both counts. Still it’s hard not to be both morally and intellectually superior to you when you set the bar so low.

Thanks for playing.

PS: I’m no dude.

It’s unfortunate neither the diary nor comments contain any of the uhm actual story. Here’s a link for starters, herd.

I don’t know you, you don’t know me.

So I make a stupid comment on the internet. Sorry I offended you, maam.

Well JoA, that is verrrrryyyy interesting. I didn’t have that clear of an idea on what was going on. “Hell hath no fury” and all that; it is going to be a damned interesting thing to watch.

It’s even a little bit better: Naffe has alleged that Patterico went after her for the express purpose to intimidate her into not mentioning illegal actions on the part of O’Queef which violated the terms of his probation. Which actually seems to be the case – given that Naffe has never met Patterico, you know the judge is going to be asking why Patterico decided to go after her.

I’m wondering how much of this legally-questionable stuff he has to do in order to get fired from the LA County DA’s office. We may be about to find out.

Does the O’ in Ace O’ Spades signify that he’s Irish or just that he’s a mental leprechaun?

You answered your own question.

It will be interesting to see what this is ultimately about. I was inclined to dismiss this whole controversy as sociopaths fighting with sociopaths, thank god they found each other, etc., but when I went looking to see what Kimberlin is alleging in his lawsuits, it’s as if there’s a concerted effort by his “victims” (honestly, has a more unsympathetic bunch of victims ever been assembled?) to avoid any mention of what he’s claiming. Instead, there’s lots of moaning about the First Amendment, how terrible Brett Kimberlin is (yeah, we got that part), and how The Left carved a backwards B on Erick Erickson’s face. For them to be fighting this aggressively about something no one would otherwise give a 5hit about makes me think they’re trying to conceal something.

The “o” is a sphincter.

I concur.

I, too, had gone with the “sociopaths fighting with sociopaths” angle, but finally got curious enough to look into it.

Here’s what I think is going on: Kimberlin is a moving force behind a couple of non-profits that the Breitards and their fellows don’t like. Velvet Revolution is supportive of OWS and lots of other progressive causes, then there is another non-profit somehow related to music; both of these, as I understand, have received funding from the demonic Tides Foundation (which that other wingnut was on his way to shoot up several years ago). Now, we all know how much Breitbart and his minions HATE any organization that helps the poors organize to improve their lot in life. So that’s where this starts – they’d like to shut down these non-profits, and because Kimberlin has a criminal past, they targeted him as the means for taking them down. Their whole campaign against him has been an attempt to get the non-profits he is associated with de-funded. And it’s been going on since 2010. So for a long long time, it was on the down-low, though there’s no doubt that Breitbart was involved at least behind the scenes.

Fast-forward to fall, 2011 and skeevy perv O’Queef’s latest falling out with the ladies…when Nadia Naffe (herself a bit screwed in the noggin, if you ask me) made her escape from Breitbart’s circle, she took with her 7 years’ worth of James O’Queef’s emails – covering the entire period of the bogus “project veritas” and lots of communications between O’Queef and Breitbart and others – which O’Queef had helpfully downloaded onto her phone on the evening of his pathetic seduction attempt at “the Barn.” It was during this general time period also that Kimberlin apparently began fighting back, filing complaints against various and sundry wingnut harassers. It seems that when Breitbart croaked, the wheels really came off the wagon. By this point, O’Queef had an action pending against Naffe on the grounds that she had “stolen” his emails; Patterico had been smearing Naffe on his blog in an apparent attempt to intimidate her from revealing either the emails or her personal knowledge of O’Queef’s probation violations; and Kimberlin’s action against Walker was approaching its court appointment and he had issued a subpeona for the emails in Naffe’s possession. The last 6 – 8 weeks is when it’s really reached the boiling point – as apparent by the fact that none of us had ever heard the name Brett Kimberlin until around then – as the wingnuts joined in a frantic chorus about his evilness and perfidy. Why not, it has worked for them in the past; whine loudly enough and you get your way. Alas, not this time. On April 20 Naffe filed suit against Patterico; two weeks later on May 6, the judge told O’Queef he could go pound sand w/regard to his emails he gave away, and Naffe presumably began complying with the subpeonas she had been served for release of the emails. These included a request by the AG of New Hampshire, who apparently has yet to forgive little Jimmy for his voter impersonation gag in their primary. Then, on May 25, Patterico reveals on his blog the SWATing incident he had been subjected to on July 1 of 2011; naturally he does whatever he can to try to pin the tail on Kimberlin or someone associated with him. RS McCain and Ace of Spades make a big deal about how their lives are in danger; pissing their pants in fear that the Big Bad Kimberlin is coming for them next, they go into hiding (I’m not aware of threats made to either, though there ARE people working on “outing” those behind Ace of Spades). Also in this very busy period of the past 6 – 8 weeks, this new organization called the “National Bloggers Club” has just popped up – it’s run out of a small house in a run-down suburb of Fort Worth by a guy called Ali Akbar (no kidding), it’s been funded to the tune of $1 million by Foster Freiss, Ricky Santorum’s special friend, and the guy running it – aforementioned Ali Akbar – has convictions for both theft of property and fraudulent use of someone else’s ATM card. Kimberlin is going after them, too, in the apparent belief that the “Club” has been set up as nothing more than a means to funnel billionaire cash to disreputable bloggers fighting legal battles.

At this point, it seems the lid of something is set to blow off at any moment. Kimberlin’s aim appears to be establishing that there has been a criminal conspiracy among many rightwing bloggers, not only in the harassment campaign but on many other things as well; beyond that, he seems to be trying to uncover the sources of their funding, perhaps to go after the funders as well (which, if they’ve funded a criminal conspiracy, is fair game). Since the campaign of harassment failed to deter Kimberlin before he could get his hands on O’Queef’s email stash, they’re now in panic mode – calling on their friends in high places to step in. Suxy Chambliss is now calling for investigation into the SWATing incidents – and recall, we might never have heard of those if they’d been able to shut down Kimberlin some other way. It all seems headed for a spectacular denouement sometime in the next few months. We shall see. One thing is certain though…no matter how it plays out, it’s going to be very entertaining for us, so start popping that popcorn.

Wow, incredible summary. Thanks so much. As you say, start up the popcorn popper and I’d add invest in popcorn futures too.

Thanks for putting the pieces together. When the first wave of BK stories hit in late May, I spent an embarrassing amount of time trying to figure out what was going on. My sense was that the rightwing bloggers were too focused on BK’s prior crimes and painting themselves as Victims, rather than explaining the events at hand, like that case against the blogger Aaron Whozit was defending (who, if I’m recalling this correctly, may have made death threats against BK — seems like a pertinent point worth mentioning, no?). So maybe BK’s case against Aaron W is a way to go after Patterico, because didn’t AW guest blog for him? Then there’s some Raw Story dude that D. Weigel had a bizarre email exchange with, which made the whole tagline about how the big bad leftists were acting in concert to silence helpless rightwing bloggers seem like utter nonsense. It’s a huge mess of a story, and we’re only hearing one side of it, all of which is coming out of rightwing media. I’m glad someone is fighting back, and though I’m troubled by BK’s criminal past, I am enjoying the spectacle of watching online bullies like RS McCain & Peppermint Patty realize that they’ve punched someone above their weight.

Thanks JofA, maybe Hillary was partly right and there is at least a 1/2 VRWC.

Mmmm – I like my Whoreville Reddenbacker’s extra buttery!

FYI, I have been writing about the Kimberlin Kerfluffle on FDL for several months now:

The Troll Wars Parts 1- 6.9.

I’m proud to say that Troll Wars 6.66 has been linked across the internets on both right and left wing sites, including American Spectator and on a blog considered to be published either by Kimberlin or his close associates, breitbartunmasked.com.

http://my.firedoglake.com/donkeytale/

I’m gratified to see a few firedogs are finally taking an interest, however superficially and in the undignified manner it is presented here. This is an important META story of the internet. I urge readers to spend the time gaining some understanding of it as more than just the typical right versus left flame war.

It is indeed that, but so much more

I’ve been covering this story for months right here at FDL. In a non-partisan, informational manner.

…And the wingnuts wonder why we thing they’re a bunch of gullible conspiracy theorists.
