Liberal rant of the day

Here's some "satire", I'm sure, from Will Durst of The Progressive:

I don't know about you guys, but I am so sick and tired of these lying, thieving, holier-than-thou, rightwing, cruel, crude, rude, gauche, coarse, crass, cocky, corrupt, dishonest, debauched, degenerate, dissolute, swaggering, lawyer shooting, bullhorn shouting, infra-structure destroying, buck passing, hysterical, criminal, history defying, finger pointing, puppy stomping, roommate appointing, pretzel choking, collateral damaging, aspersion casting, wedding party bombing, clearcutting, torturing, jobs outsourcing, torture out-sourcing, election fixing, women's rights eradicating, Medicare cutting, uncouth, spiteful, boorish, vengeful, jingoistic, homophobic, xenophobic, xylophonic, racist, sexist, ageist, fascist, cashist, audaciously stupid, brazenly selfish, lethally ignorant, journalist purchasing, genocide ignoring, corporation kissing, poverty inducing, crooked, coercive, autocratic, primitive, uppity, high-handed, domineering, arrogant, inhuman, inhumane, inbred, inept, insipid, incapable, incompetent, ineffectual, insolent, insincere, know-it-all, snotty, pompous, contemptuous, supercilious, gutless, spineless, shameless, avaricious, noxious, poisonous, imperious, merciless, graceless, tactless, brutish, brutal, Karl Roving, backward thinking, persistent vegetative state grandstanding, nuclear option threatening, evolution denying, irony deprived, consciously depraved, conceited, perverted, peremptory invading, thirty-five day vacation taking, bribe soliciting, hellish, smarty pants, loudmouth, bullying, swell headed, ethics eluding, domestic spying, medical marijuana busting, Halliburtoning, narcissistic, undiplomatic, blustering, malevolent, demonizing, Duke Cunninghamming, hectoring, dry drunk, Muslim baiting, hurricane disregarding, oil company hugging, judge packing, science disputing, faith based advocating, armament selling, nonsense spewing, education ravaging, whiny, insane, unscrupulous, lily livered, greedy (exponential factor fifteen), fraudulent, delusional, CIA outing, redistricting, anybody who disagrees with them slandering, fact twisting, ally alienating, betraying, chickenhawk, sell out, quisling, god and flag waving, scare mongering, Cindy Sheehan libeling, smirking, bastardly, voting machine tampering, sociopathic, cowardly, treasonous, Constitution shredding, oppressive, vulgar, antagonistic, trust funding, nontipping, tyrannizing, peace hating, water and air and ground and media polluting (which is pretty much all the polluting you can get), deadly, traitorous, con man, swindling, pernicious, lethal, illegal, haughty, venomous, virulent, mephitic, egotistic, bloodthirsty, yellowbelly, hypocritical, Oedipal, did I say evil, I'm not sure if I said evil, because I want to make sure I say evil . . . EVIL, cretinous, slime buckets in the Bush Administration that I could just spit. Impeachment? Hell no. Impalement. Upon the sharp and righteous sword of the people's justice. Make it a curtain rod. Because it would hurt more.

I think my favorite was "non-tipping". Or maybe "education-ravaging". Or wait, maybe "bribe-soliciting". Or perhaps "wedding party bombing" and "puppy stomping".

I would use a lot of those things in that drivel to describe the Clintons alone, but you know, hey, to each their own.

And then there's the impalement part -- on the "sharp and righteous sword of the people's justice". With writing like that, maybe Babs Streisand could hire him every time she has to make a public speech and say that Shakespeare wrote it first. It would go nicely with tradition.

Hat tip: Michelle Malkin

Tim in PA:

You know, they'd have been well served by looking through this list one more time and thinking about how many of these descriptions could apply to their own party and/or those they choose to root for.

When you start attributing opposition to your politcal positions on virtually any issue to a combination of stupidity and laziness, then you have left the field of rational debate.

I'm not a republican. Obviously, I am a progressive or a democrat either.

When I read a screed like this, even if I might agree with some points of it, I come to one conclusion:

I. Cannot. Work. With. These. People. You simply cannot get through to them for any sort of actual debate. This cannot end well.

Perhaps JFO will take a moment to address Mr Durst's complaint of "domestic spying" with JFK's wiretapping and monitoring of Martin Luther King.

How 'bout it JFO. Care to take a shot at that one?

How 'bout this one: FDR's internment of over 100,000 Japanese American's during WWII?

Not to worry, it's all down the leftist memory hole with the morons like JFO.

Can you imagine how fun it must be to be a Dem leader and know, just know, that your base is as dumb as a box of rocks and can be told that history started yesterday....and that they'll buy it hook, line, and sinker?

By the way JFO, have you accepted yet that fire can indeed melt steel?

JFO:

It sure is nice to (figuratively) see spittle come from the mouth of folks like Drago when a little satire is demonstrated. You know Drago, well you probably don't, that satire isn't fact.

Oh, and as Bill Orally would say: what say you Drago about that heroine of everything right (pun intended) Ms Malkin's whole damn book about how right it was to intern the Japanese??? I surely won't hold my breath on that one.

JFO, I understand completel... (Below threshold)
Drago:

JFO, I understand completely your unwillingness to address several very important historical examples of Democrat led Governmental behavior that the modern claims to lament in the Bush administration.

I can also understand your NEED to refocus this obvious intellectaul hypocrisy by use of non-sequitor, straw-men, red herrings, etc.

Still, it would be nice if you take another dose of your daily medication, focus like a laser-beam for a moment, and try to tell us all what you THINK about the two examples I provided of (JFK and FDR respectively) engaging in behavior that the left claims to deplore.

Do you think you can do that? Can you tell us what you "think" without referencing some modern conservative or Republican?

Is that possible?

Drago:

BTW JFO, do you really believe that Mr Durst's rant is "satire"?

Really?

So, you are claiming that Mr Durst doesn't really believe what he wrote, he is just being "funny"?

hmm, I don't think he would agree with you.

Uh, could you please list what Governmental policies that Michelle Malkin has been responsible for implementing and can you also provide a link to the evidence that "Ms Malkin" is a "heroine of everything right"?

I'm a little fuzzy as how Malkin fits into a discussion of the relative perfidies of different American administrations.

JFO:

Easy answer Drago. JFK's wiretapping, his attempts to assassinate Castro, his involvement in covert CIA operations in Vietnam and other countries was a disgrace and a significant blemish on his legacy.

Similarly, FDR's internment of the Japanese was racist, undemocratic and a disgrace to his legacy.

Satisfy you now>

How about a little truthiness from you about Malkin's book?

Oh, and if you don't think his piece was satire, you're an idiot.

JFO: "Satisfy you now>"... (Below threshold)
Drago:

JFO: "Satisfy you now>"

Why, yes. JFO, for your future reference, direct and relevant answers to on-topic questions are usually appreciated. I'm surprised that you do not know this. On the other hand, being a lefty, I know how difficult it must be for to "confine" yourself to a dialogue.

JFO: "How about a little truthiness from you about Malkin's book?"

Hmm, I'm not sure how to answer this question as I've not read her book. JFO, for your future reference, it's best not to lob in non-sequitors as they tend not to advance the dialogue or the march to "understanding".

Further, what possible relevance can Michelle Malkin have to FDR's policies? (hint: "none")

JFO: "Oh, and if you don't think his piece was satire, you're an idiot."

I believe that Mr Durst would be surprised to see you misinterpreting and mischaracterizing his comments. Since you do not realize you are doing that, I guess that makes you an idiot.

As for your weasel excuse to get out of the answer, i.e. what does Malkin have to do with FDR I'd only say this:what did Durst's piece have to do with FDR? Are you that stupid and that much of a weasel? I guess so.

But let me make it easy even for someone like you. Malkin;s book justified the internment of the Japanese. Do you agree or disagree that FDR was right in doing it? And why. Simple questions for a simple person. Can't wait for your weasel non-answer.

Hmmm. Let me get this straight. You ask me to consider the content of book by a current-day political pundit (that I haven't read) in addressing a larger point about specific Governmental actions taken 65 years ago.

And then you characterize that as a refusal to "answer the question."

Wow. Why couldn't we just discuss where WE stand on a particular policy?

Would that be so difficult?

No, Because you said you hadn't read her I asked you to answer an easy question.

I'll do it again so you can't change the subject or content again.

Do you, or do you not agree with FDR's internment of the Japanese? And why or why not?

JFO: "But let me make it ea... (Below threshold)
Drago:

JFO: "But let me make it easy even for someone like you."

Easy for "someone like me"? You mean, someone who hasn't read Malkin's book, right? Is not reading a Malkin book considered poor scholarship by you?

JFO: "Malkin;s book justified the internment of the Japanese."

I'll take your word for it.

JFO: "Do you agree or disagree that FDR was right in doing it?"

Wow!! Congratulations! Finally, a simple, direct question!! What a day!!

My answer is, I disagree (within the comfort of my hindsight and y greater historical understanding of the domestic threat posed by some actual Japanese-American saboteurs) with FDR's wholesale internment of Japanese-Americans on the West Coast. I think it's clear that one of the major reasons why the Japanese-Americans were rounded up (as opposed to German-Americans or Italian-Americans) was cultural. There was so little "general" (national) understanding of the Japanese or their culture, in addition to the Japanese living in large but confined areas of te states, that it made it easier to single them out.

Of course, the fact that it was the Japanese that bombed the homeland and not the Germans or Italians cannot be discounted.

But again, note my caveat. Could you really say that if you were just the same old JFO you are today but living in 1941 that you would not have supported such a policy at that time? I don't think either of us is really in a position to answer that.

JFO: "Can't wait for your weasel non-answer."

JFO, for your reference, if you ask non-weaselly direct questions, you are much more likely to get direct answers.

Drago:

JFO: "I'll do it again so you can't change the subject or content again."

JFO, for your future reference, having someone address your comments/assertions/assumptions etc, in a methodical and sequential manner is generally not considered "changing the subject or content".

No kidding.

Look JFO, you're on the left (at times I'd say far left). I'm on the right (you'd claim,probably, that I'm on the far-right).

Be that as it may, you've got to learn to stop throwing everything including the kitchen sink into a Q & A with someone else.

I'll bet that if I read Malkin's book, her point would be that if you are the US Gov't which:

-had just been attacked at Pearl Harbor, and
-your FBI and intelligence services had no real idea of the threat posed by Japanese-Americans on the West Coast, but
-you knew there were in fact some spies and saboteurs at work, and
-your Admirals just told you that having your the majority of the power of your Pacific Fleet destroyed and that the West Coast was "wide open" to attack, ..

well, life and decisions ain't always so easy for the CinC.

Says the representative of the left which revered and loves Lenin, Stalin, Mao, kim, Castro, Kim, Che, Lon Nol, Chavez, etc.

no-go logic: "..and please don't talk about "earmarks " when we have given this dictator billions..."

Yes, lets not talk about earmarks (a subject that Dems made great hay out of during the last election) now that the Dems are in charge and earmarking more than ever.

hey nogo, consistency much?

no-go logic: "Let's see...our troops are over extended and being killed and wounded to promote "democracy" in Iraq."

And are reenlisting and volunteering to return to the combat zones in record numbers to kill nogo's friends on the Al Qaeda side.

no-go logic: "Is Pakistan the Middle East model we are shooting for?"

No, but neither was East Germany, yet the left loved Honneker and the gang.

First, you don't really think that Durst's rant is "satire," do you. Come on.

And your comment, "Truer words were never spoken in such eloquent and accurate ways," was not intended to be satirical either, was it?

You really believe it, don't you.

You can do it, JFO. You'll feel better about it if you just type it out, right here, right now...
