New York Times Comments On My Blog

Following up on an Instapundit item about the NY Times telling him to STFU in blog comments elsewhere, I put the IP into my own comment search feature. That IP has been here with the name franglosaxon.

Founding bloggers wasn't opening  for a bit but you can get the meat of the post here if Founding Bloggers is still over-loaded. It might be fine, now.

Courtesy of Franglosaxon, who tracks to the same IP and seems to have made some truly outlandish comments elsewhere.

OBAMA HASN’T EVEN RAISED TAXES YET YOU DUMB MOTHERFUCKERS

suddenly all these people are feeling persecuted by taxes. ’cause the money is all being handed out to black people by the black president. can we have more of them drowning their kids and trying to make it look like murder, plz?

There were six or seven on my site back in September/Oct - here's a few. They weren't as bad.

Sure, donors have never visited the White House before. Do you have any information that could put this into context, like the number of visitors now vs. under Reagan or Bush? No? Didn't think so. Just like to throw out the 'ol "Pimp-in-chief" moniker I guess. You suck.

Ooooh, Dick Gephardt did something in 1991 and therefore wingnuts are justified in being idiots today.

Great life program, wingtard.

Holy crap!You are telling me the same people who think Obama is a Kenyan Muslim Kommunist who was hatched from a dragon egg now don't trust Obama talking to their kids???

Deluded idiots continuing to espouse deluded distortions. Film at 11.

Update: More commentary plus video from Ed Driscoll at PJM here.

Guess this is an example of 'hitting back, only harder'.

The dragon egg joke was pretty funny. But otherwise, this is a really stupid person. These arguments are pointless, and the hostility is ridiculous and deeply personal.

This is why every obviously BS lie about our military manages to make the front page of the NYT. They want to rub it in, hit back twice as hard, etc. they don't understand or even really care much about reporting news responsibly and honestly.

What a shock that they are broke.

[Tully]

But...they're the cognitive elite! Don't you know that this exempts them from anything resembling polite behavior?

Obama hatched from a dragon egg?

[Dan Maloney]

He also posted this at Ann Althouse saying he is 29.

Hey Simon, this generation of young people is the first that cannot expect to do better materially than their parents. I am not sure if you grasp what that means to us psychologically.

Personally (I'm 29) I could really use a break from all the idiotic culture clash 60's holdover BS that influences pretty much all of our politics, defines the Clintons, and has no bearing on my world and my problems. Unfortunately I am being held in a demographic choke-hold by the execrable baby boom generation and their psychodramas (like I have been my whole life).

If Obama loses, I will conclude that there's nothing to be done until the boomers and their craven politics pass from this earth. Unfortunately again, my generation will also be notable for our shorter lifespans, due to the strain of having to support the surfeit of baby-boomers well into our middle age (medical technology coincidentally seeming to progress in lockstep with the ailments that trouble the baby boom generation).

I guess you could say I'm bitter about it.

It's good to see MoDo letting her hair down.

Not sure that's the same guy. He said 29 at Althouse. That sounds about right. The 42 doesn't fit. Could just be someone from Quebec as it says.

[BS, Inc.]

"They were who we thought they were" seems appropriate here.

[JadedByPolitics]

Well it MUST be a writer for Slimes because that is about the same load of CRAP they spit out everyday!

"Obama hatched from a dragon egg?"

It could explain many things.

LOL ! Good one, Treacher!

As much as I'd love the glee that comes with thinking this is some lefty journalist unwittingly showing his progressive cards, it's probably not the case. The newsroom is just a small part of a newspaper operation. There are ad departments, circulation, marketing, human resources, ad nauseam, and they're completely disconnected from the folks who actually churn out the news. But they'd still have a "NYTIMES.COM" server address.

And the truth is, even the most dyed-in-the-wool liberal writer or editor would be savvy enough not to go around the web dropping politically charged comments. For a journalist, that could be a firing offense.

So the truth, unfortunately, is likely a lot more blah: It's probably just some bored cubicle worker passing time between accounting reports or whatever -- no different than any other white-collar dude wasting time at work on the web.

OBAMA HASN’T EVEN RAISED TAXES YET YOU DUMB MOTHERFUCKERS

Really? Then what was responsible for the giant jump in the price of a pack of smokes?

[DocinPA]

Anybody know anybody in the NYT IT department? Just wonderin'.

[PCachu]

"Obama hatched from a dragon egg?"

Of course not. He hatched from a Pokemon egg. It's quite plain to see he's a low-level Hopenchange, the evolved form of Ayerswright.

[pelicans]

I hope Franglo doesn't write for a living because he or she doesn't do it too well if the above is an accurate sample. The logic is more than a little fuzzy and it doesn't help when it is couched in slang of some sort. I guess that adds to the street credibility. Maybe the NYT is reaching out to a new, hip audience to drive that circulation.

[Elmo]

Long line .... (well get in b'yotch):

"Obama ... was hatched from a dragon egg."

Who knew? Dah teengs ya loyn on da innernets!

[Uh, Clem]

It's ok. I'm looking at the last three years' track for NYT Co's stock price, and it suggests that the Wheel of Justice does indeed grind slowly, but exceedingly fine. At the present rate of decline, in another year or two, young Franglo will have to choose between flipping burgers and working for Rupert Murdoch...

"...even the most dyed-in-the-wool liberal writer or editor would be savvy enough not to go around the web dropping politically charged comments..."

Um, not to be sarcastic or anything, but have you been living in a cave for the last decade?

[ThomasPD]

"Um, not to be sarcastic or anything, but have you been living in a cave for the last decade?"

No, actually, I haven't. (And frankly, I'm starting to get really tired of the mean, acid tone in online discourse. I wrote a perfectly good-spirited, measured comment. Nothing about it merited that sort of response. I'm not kidding: You might think your reply was harmless, but it's not. It can poison a conversation. It's like a jolt to most folks on the receiving end, and it will almost always steer a discussion into foul, unproductive territory, ultimately rendering the whole thing useless.)

If you can point to a number of instances where on-the-clock journalists have dropped into political blogs to leave politically charged comments, then I'll reconsider the proposition. I'm not talking about opinion columnists or what have you, since I suspect that's not of any interest to anyone -- after all, the gist of this "New York Times commenter" tempest is the idea that an ostensibly objective journalist is revealing his true colors.

["Mindles H. Dreck"]

Glenn Greenwald, Lee Siegel, John Lott, Jason Leopold, Andrew Gilligan, Susan Schmidt...do you need more?

[ThomasPD]

You've named one blogger, one opinion essayist, one academic, one web polemicist, one British columnist and ONE standard American journalist (who is no longer in the business). So, yes, I'd need more -- especially since I said "I'm not talking about opinion columnists or what have you."

Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think anyone is excited about the prospect of a "NYTIMES.COM" server address because it might mean the presence of a professional opinion-monger, whose ideology we already know. They're excited because it might mean the presence of an actual journalist, revealing his true progressive colors. Why else raise a big to-do about it?

Ha Ha!! Dragon egg is really funny.

So what we have here is a failure to communicate because IF and WE now know they do the NY SLIMES reads Conservative blogs and YET they still LIE & HIDE the truth then they are truly the leftists WE have always known them to be!
