Despicable Liberalism

As I have said, it's a mental illness, not a political ideology: And I'm sure the libs reading here will find this funny, just another sign of their lack of morality and good judgemnt.

But what was supposed to have been a dignified end for a long-suffering single mom instead turned into what friends called a disgustingly public travesty, an example of the current Wild West atmosphere of Internet privacy issues, and a sordid showcase of just how far a beef can go.

Just hours before her death, “Cathy Seipp” suddenly seemed to undo decades of hard work with an oddly written letter posted on the Web site, www. cathyseipp.com. In what came off as more bizarre rant than heartfelt apology, her supposed “very last blog entry” called her years of journalism a “shoddy,” “despicable” and “irresponsible” career as a “fourth-rate hack.” Her political stance? All a mistake.

Dan,
I know that all evil must, by definition, emanate from liberals. Still I, uh, have to wonder -- where did you come up with the liberal hatred part of this story? When you read the Fox News story, it doesn't reference his political ideology, only his personal animus towards Seipp. But, hey, I guess we can all just assume liberals MUST be at fault, and then use it to prove that all liberals are always at fault. Uh, or something.

[templar knight]

Uh, Alex, I bet it was a conservative who did this to Cathy. We do this to ourselves all the time, you know, just for the hell of it. I'm not a betting man, but I would put some money on the political views of this turd. Glad to see you didn't want to be associated with him.

[Legalize]

I can never keep up with the rules:

1. When Anne Coulter wishes for the death of Justice Stevens, calls John Edwards a "faggot," and calls for the slaughter of "rag heads," etc. etc., and when Rush Limbaugh mocks Michael J. Fox and Elizabeth Edwards, such statements, we are told are not to be attributed to "conservatives in general.

2. When some asshole no one has ever heard of posts disgusting material on a blog, this is illustrative of "liberalism" as a whole.

Is that it?

[Hard Right]

Let's see, he has had multiple run ins with Conservatives. He impersonates people to get back at them(like a lib here does to me)? Not to mention he was a teacher and they tend to be libs. And you wonder what his political views are? I'm betting he's a lib as well.

[Hard Right]

Legalize, those people like Ann tend to be the exception as far as Conservatives go.

Look at KOS, DUNG, HuffPo, etc. and you'll see that type of thing ISN'T the exception. Clear things up for you? I doubt it since you want to pretend Libs are the only good guys in existence.

[Zifnab]

"I can never keep up with the rules:"

Try "IOKIARDI". Solves the entire dilemma.

[Legalize]

Yes, HR, you're right. No one buys Coulter's books or attends her events - same with Malkin; and Rush has very few listeners - same with Savage. I am certain that you would have no problem citing random assholes who post on the interwebts, and since this behavior is apparantly the rule on "teh left," I imagine that you shall have no problem citing examples of *prominent* "leftists" making similar remarks.

I don't have to just take your word for it, do I?

[Zifnab]

I'm still waiting for Savage to run for President. I just want to see him in a debate. Pure comedy gold.

[Legalize]

"Try "IOKIARDI". Solves the entire dilemma."

Don't you know it's vile and foul-mouthed to even suggest such a thing?!

[scarshapedstar]

Geez, I knew The Left would come to regret voting to elect this guy as our official spokesman.

[Buzzy]

Note that there wasn't a word of condemnation from the left for this guy's actions. Personally I don't think that liberalism is a mental disease. I know plenty of fine rational liberals who know how to draw the line between political ideology and bad behavior. Then again I don't view most of these present day leftists as liberal at all, they're socialist anarchists.

[templar knight]

"No one buys Coulter's books....same with Malkin..Rush has very few listeners..."

Hm...how's that Air America thing going for you and yours, Legalize? It was really setting new records the last time I heard,...oh, that was a record for the least number of listeners. Well, at least you can claim a record.

[TheSpartan]

The guy is clearly an imbalanced A-hole. His real problem is maturity not idealogy but that can be said of some on both sides.

[vetter]

Isn't it telling that the usual suspect libs here in the comment sector cannot--not one of them-- simply comdemn this guy? Priceless. Oh yes Ann Coulter, Savage, Limbaugh, bleat bleat bleat. Hmmm. Yet there was so much thoughtful debate on the right side apres the Coulter "faggot" comment, both pro and con. Hmmm.
As to ..."when Rush Limbaugh mocks Michael J. Fox and Elizabeth Edwards..." Um, never happened. Maybe you need to listen to what he said before picking up yer talking points from kos or dung or what have you. As Rush was saying today, half the fun for him is pushing the envelope just to anticipate the idiots misquoting and/or taking him out of context. It's a hoot for all us listeners...But ay, there's the rub. WE actually listen so WE actually know what was said. Folks like leg, zippy, et al: Why do they need to listen and/or learn anything? Their formulaic answers are just so past-tense playbook...

[Zifnab]

"Hm...how's that Air America thing going for you and yours, Legalize?"

2.2 million listeners and growing?
And that's not counting Ed Schultz, who outpaced Rush in the 25-34 demographic back in '05.

Why don't we ever hear anything about Al Franken and Ed Schultz? Surely they've said something about a right-wing politician who they'd like to stab or poison or bomb. Or maybe the wingnut party is more and more turning into the party of Timmothy McVeigh.

[JimK]

"2.2 million listeners and growing?"

OK, you're fucking delusional.

Why can't one of you self-identified liberals actually just say, without reservation or qualification, that this kind of behavior is disgusting?

[bloodrage bob]

observe, class, observe how the despicable liberals spring to the defense of one of their own. notice how the sad, pathetic act they're defending - some liberal dipshit punk bravely trashes a dying woman who's unable to fight back - notice how a consideration of the contemptible act is not an issue. not for a second.

because this is one of their own, a fellow liberal, one of the anointed elite, it really doesn't matter what he did. crap on a flag? doesn't matter. attack a dying woman? doesn't matter. cry "coulter!" howl "mcveigh!" lie your ass off. change the subject. NEVER admit what scum liberals are, never never *never*.

so now the question gets all philosophical: who's the bigger piece of shit? the asshole who attacked the dying woman? or the assholes lining up to tell us it's ok? making smartass comments about....oh, about anything at all except "what a scumbag that sorry puke must be".

who will you believe, class? will you believe the liberal swine; or your own eyes?

[djangone]

Can someone point out to me where this Stein guy's politics is identified? He clearly isn't a Seipp-ish conservative, and that leaves him in the company of 75% of the country.

[templar knight]

diangorie, I don't think 75% of the country would do the despicable thing this guy did, but if you say so. I, on the other hand, put him in the dirty 10% who are Leftists.

[templar knight]

"2.2 million listeners and growing?"

Hm...Akron, Oh. is dropping Air America, now that's a funny way to grow. Oh, I see, you added the question mark. Good dodge. Way to go, there, Ziffy. And now the obligatory Tim McVeigh comparison. You might possibly get a little lower, Zif, but for the life of me I can't see how. Even the Stein guy might be better than you.

[vetter]

Ah yes, Bloodrage, 100% totally perfectly dead on. No, these sub-scum cannot simply say "Wow, what an asshole. He sure don't speak for my brand of liberalism/progressive-ism/democratic-ism. " Which actually brings me a level of solace because such vile nature will always, eventually, lose. The one sad thing is that I honestly think that leg, zippy, et al really ARE the facve of the new democratics. There is no way any sensate human could possibly align with a party that includes such rubbish as these folk, so what is left?

[Phoenix]

2. When some asshole no one has ever heard of posts disgusting material on a blog, this is illustrative of "liberalism" as a whole.

Is that it?

You should know, Justin. Once again, your own words define you.

[Iggy]

"observe, class, observe how the despicable liberals spring to the defense of one of their own. notice how the sad, pathetic act they're defending - some liberal dipshit punk bravely trashes a dying woman who's unable to fight back - notice how a consideration of the contemptible act is not an issue. not for a second."

You're really one of the stupidest people alive, aren't you?

You just had your clock cleaned. Your post was completely idiotic, worthy of nothing but mockery and contempt, and everyone but you seems to know it.

[Legalize]

"Hm...how's that Air America thing going for you and yours, Legalize? It was really setting new records the last time I heard,...oh, that was a record for the least number of listeners. Well, at least you can claim a record."

Do you hear that whooshing sound flying over your head, tk?

[TheSpartan]

Actually I think I pretty much said he was an A-hole. He is. So is Savage. So is Limbaugh. So is Coulter.

[Legalize]

"As to ..."when Rush Limbaugh mocks Michael J. Fox and Elizabeth Edwards..." Um, never happened. Maybe you need to listen to what he said before picking up yer talking points from kos or dung or what have you.

Yeah, neither ever never ever never ever never never happened: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F05T9cU8hxQ; scroll down to the bottom for transcript: http://mediamatters.org/items/200703230015

"It's a hoot for all us listeners...But ay, there's the rub. WE actually listen so WE actually know what was said. Folks like leg, zippy, et al: Why do they need to listen and/or learn anything? Their formulaic answers are just so past-tense playbook..."

Riehlly? So explain the "context" of the above-cited. Why couldn't the Junkie just state that his heart goes out to Mrs. Edwards and wish her well? Why couldn't he aknowledge that MJF might just actually be interested in helping people by using his celbrity to raise awareness for an illness that has stricken him?

[Legalize]

Edit: oh, and vetter, I for one described the man's tactics as "disgusting," so it might be helpful for you in the future to actually pay attention to more than just Rush when you are describing the attitudes of others - of course, I am aware that this would require you to NOT try to make a partisan point out of said disgusting behavior.

[tally]

savage is mentally unstable, i didn't know he was still on. coulter is a media whore and a bitch. not a rush fan, but have never heard him act up. so, that's two conservative assholes compared to around fifty liberal assholes that i've personally heard. come on, the libtards win.

Yep, those Democrats sure have a rage problem.

[bloodrage bob]

still defending the scummy piece o' shit, eh, iggy? legal? "so what if he's a piece of shit! you're stupid!!"

go figure. thanks for illustrating my point so nicely for me. you clowns are none too bright, but you *can* be manipulated. i like that in a liberal.

[bloodrage bob]

(shakes head wonderingly) holy crap! i just bothered to actually read the horseshit you had someone who could spell type in for you, iggy. your childish little rant qualifies - in your peabrain - as a "clock-cleaning"??

good luck in the real world, sonny. all your self-esteem happy faces & shiny gold stars won't pay the rent. maybe you can complain to teacher about how "like, totally *mean* all these dudes are!"?

[Aussie]

Malkin? She's a constant victim of vicious liberal attacks, racist sexist scumbagging. And you dare cite her as an example of 'right wing attacks'? have you even read her stuff, or do you just parrot what others tell you?

There's the crux of it: liberals are an ignorant linch-mob.

[vetter]

Leg, I thought you guys were all about teh "nuance?" Neither of the links you provided prove crap--The youtube (edited) clip has been played ad nauseum and addressed by Rush ad nauseum...and we'll leave aside that campaign MJF admitted to manipulating his meds for effect before "some engagements." Ad for the Sorosmatters link...what's the point? I fail to see anything even controversial here, let alone damning. The Edward's DID turm to their religon, polotics. Rush pointed it out. Yer point?
ANd while you may have used the term "disgusting" it was in the greater body of a feint about how much worser that worse the Rethuglicanazis are so it's hardly a rebuke, more like a toss off to the obvious.
Jesus, are you really a "lawyer?"

[vetter]

Nice "junkie" dig, too, Leg. It cracks me up that the tolerant, the compassionate, the loving and kind can always take time from outting gay Repubs, defending scum and ignoring the crimes of their elected demi-Gods long enough to jab and name call people. Really kind of "proves" the compassionate nature of ya'll, huh?

[Legalize]

"still defending the scummy piece o' shit, eh, iggy? legal?"

Uh, no. Do you have a reading comprehension problem? Or just an honesty problem?

"Neither of the links you provided prove crap--The youtube (edited) clip has been played ad nauseum and addressed by Rush ad nauseum...and we'll leave aside that campaign MJF admitted to manipulating his meds for effect before "some engagements.""

No, you're right. Rush flailing about, making fun of Fox proves nothing.

"Ad for the Sorosmatters link...what's the point? I fail to see anything even controversial here, let alone damning. The Edward's DID turm to their religon, polotics. Rush pointed it out. Yer point?"

The point remains as I very simply laid it out there for you - why couldn't Rush merely wish Mrs. Edwards well, instead of embarking into one of his cynical, partisan rants - you know, kinda like the DEMAND that all liberal leftists condemn the punk who is the topic of this thread?

"ANd while you may have used the term "disgusting" it was in the greater body of a feint about how much worser that worse the Rethuglicanazis are so it's hardly a rebuke, more like a toss off to the obvious."

I see; so, just for future reference, what exactly is the language you demand we use whenever we're supposed to join you in your feigned outrage? Should I say, "riehlly disgusting," or "double-plus totally disgusting"? Help me out; I want to play by your revolving set of rules and properly condemn a random dude with whom I share no association and of whom I've never heard before your barking began.

"Jesus, are you really a "lawyer?""

Yawn. Are you riehlly in the management program at the Piggly Wiggly? Because your skills appear more illustrative of a trainee at Denny's.

Cue: whining.

[Legalize]

Re: vetter whining about the "junkie" comment. Looks like someone requires use of the whaaaaambulance.

p.s. projecting your winger memes on me is sort of silly, isn't it?

[Zifnab]

Hey, let'm whine. "Rush Limbaugh is the greatest, right-wing pundits are infallible, and the War in Iraq is a victory that's already happened three times in 4 years!"

I'll be waiting for '08 results when these guys will be insisting they've won back Congress and kept the Presidency, and that the evil MSM is just filling the airwaves with lying "President Hillary" propoganda.

[vetter]

Maybe Rush doesn't need your advice on his show's content?
Maybe instead of dragging him into this at all you could have simply and straightforwardly said "This Seipp imposter sucks."
Maybe pointing out the asshole-ish nature of calling Rush a "junkie" isn't "whining" but merely pointing out your inconsistent (alleged) values?
Maybe you cannot condemn the imposter because your entire belief structure is a house of cards and if you give up one insignificant piece the entire deal may fall?
Maybe this "quote" from zippy was said by no one here, ever: "Rush Limbaugh is the greatest, right-wing pundits are infallible, and the War in Iraq is a victory that's already happened three times in 4 years!"
Maybe ya'll really are just sad. Strike that, no "maybe" about it...

[Legalize]

"Maybe Rush doesn't need your advice on his show's content?"

Read: "it's not fair to criticize Rush Limbaugh." Got it.

"Maybe instead of dragging him into this at all you could have simply and straightforwardly said "This Seipp imposter sucks.""

Maybe I don't need your disengenuous advice as to how to criticize an asshole on the internet I've never heard of.

"Maybe pointing out the asshole-ish nature of calling Rush a "junkie" isn't "whining" but merely pointing out your inconsistent (alleged) values?"

Right. We're talking about the same blowhard who has made a career out of bashing people with drug addictions. Cry me a river, Pollyanna.

"Maybe you cannot condemn the imposter because your entire belief structure is a house of cards and if you give up one insignificant piece the entire deal may fall?"

Wow. Is that your professional diagnosis, Doctor Frist? How exactly does this dude, who bares no realtionship to me, a prick I've never even heard of, represent my "belief structure"? Can you parse that out at all, or do you have to tune into Hannity later today in order to give me an answer? Or let me guess, it's up to me to recognize the increadible self-evidence of this declared reality?

"Maybe this "quote" from zippy was said by no one here, ever: "Rush Limbaugh is the greatest, right-wing pundits are infallible, and the War in Iraq is a victory that's already happened three times in 4 years!"
Maybe ya'll really are just sad. Strike that, no "maybe" about it..."

I love how willing you guys are to just pluck something out of the air and proudly declare that X comment magically "proves" everything you've been saying. Most of the time I'm pretty sure you and your ilk don't even know what you're arguing, but what you know *for certain* is that because liberal leftist hippies are necessarily *bad*, EVERYTHING under the sun is clearly illustrative of that *fact*. It must be so easy when your reality requires no understanding of cause and effect.

[BobinLondon]

You cons should direct your sad, impotent anger towards your failed Iraq adventure. Go win some hearts and minds or liberate a few oppressed Iraqis. Maybe then you will lighten up. Mission Accomplished!!

[scarshapedstar]

Man, looking over the brilliance in this thread, I can't imagine why Republican party ID continues to plummet.

[bloodrage bob]

as opposed to the liberals bravely mounting a furious defense of the slimy pussy who, in an act of supreme courage, defaced a dying woman's blog.

waiting, of course, until he was *SURE* she was too sick too defend herself.

good luck with that "liberal" party id thing there, asswipes.

[Legalize]

Yikes, bloodrage bob has come unhinged. Don't worry; I won't alert Michelle Malkin to your vile and foul-mouthed language.

[Phoenix]

I wonder if anyone will alert someone to yours, Legalize. Man, there are archives full of your filth. Dude...

[Zifnab]

I thought his name was Justin.

[Hard Right]

For you libtards.

[bloodrage bob]

but the *subject*, legalize, was "foul language on this here blog". a door YOU opened, BTW, "counselor", so i'll allow it.

you whined about bad language, and the lady busted your weak butt: noting you were a prime offender. your tepid (non)response?

asking about "hannity"? see, THIS is why we make fun of you clowns. not ONLY are ya dumber'n any 2 rocks; not ONLY are ya lower than whale *feces*....oh, no. you're ALSO afflicted with the attention span of a 3-year-old.

or were you changing the subject to avoid having to face the music in re your sad, pathetic, blatant hypocrisy? was that it?
