Blogosphere nastiness
The blogosphere has been a volatile place to be these last few weeks. Misc. news on that front:
Jeff Goldstein is still dealing with ongoing harassment issues that date back to moonbat Deb Frisch’s threats towards him and his son. He’s taking a hiatus to deal with this legally, so any change you can throw in his tip jar to help him with legal costs would be much appreciated by him.
Allah has a roundup of blogospheric craziness, including info on one conservative blogger who has been the object of a death threat, and two conservative bloggers who disagreed on whether or not Glenn Greenwald is a sockpuppet – tensions between the two ran so high, that Paul at Wizbang has resigned. That’s a shame. I wrote this at Hot Air in the comments section of Allah’s post, and am reposing it here:
When this whole thing started with Glenn G. and his ‘calling out’ of conservatives who didn’t ‘condemn’ something he thought they should, thereby supposedly making them hypocrites for not condeming that after they condemned Deb Frisch, I made one post about it and participated in comments for a few days at other blogs. I didn’t post anything else at my blog about it after the intial post and seeing how things have turned out, I’m glad I restricted it to that one post.
How the hell did things go from exposing Glenn Greenwald for the hyperventilating sockpuppet fruitcake that he is to conservative bloggers slamming each other?
The whole brouhaha over that disagreement is the major reason why blog wars aren’t worth it. What’s accomplished in a blog war, outside of a lot of people getting upset and time being wasted by bloggers who have a lot more to offer the blogosphere?

Can’t we all just get along?
Can’t we all just get along?
Apparently not…
I think we on the Right are getting a tad frustrated. And I think that’s why we are doing a bit of ‘acting out’.
Time to step back, take some deep breaths and look at pretty pictures. Listen to some pleasant music. Shut the hell up. And so on.
Then dive back in and enjoy ourselves, for cryin’ out loud! There are enough yahoos on the Leftosphere carping at our every move, thought, and post, without us adding to the cacophony of venomous noise.
This larry johnson, fired cia guy has been sending me vile emails and I printed em all and handed em over to someone who is gonna do something about this.
The left in this country are so rabid and so obsessed with sexual things.
No Sev, Laura Inghram filling in for Bill on the Oreilly Factor just talked to the head of code pinkie who has been in jail. YOU CAN NOT GET ALONG WITH THESE PEOPLE CUZ YOU CAN’T TALK RATIONALLY WITH THEM, THEY DON’T COMPREHEND ANYTHING AND JUST NOW SHE INTERVIEWED A LOON FROM THE DNC, THAT CHICK JUST SPUN HER ANSWERS LIKE A TORNADO IN MY BACK YARD.
GOD, HELP US ALL.
Drewsmom – I know its hard to sit and watch people that you think are your fellow Americans evidence a deep hate for everything you were raised to believe in. But. Look at it this way. Every thing they’re doing is just poisioning the political well that much worse for themselves.
- Interesting aside. I saw a secret DU poll taken without a link. It stated that over 78% of respondee’s from the Liberal’s side stated they had one or more forms of mental disability. If true it would hardly be surprising.
- Speaking to another pair of ST’s posts, it’s entirely possible that this latest flair up of sockpuppets and moonbat stalkers, is the latest “ploy” in the progressive bag. They are trying to think of any angle they can to stay away from real debate. It’s called “time structuring”, and its an old Marxist trick. Use up the time and the denate gets lost.
- Its like all these “perceptions” as ST covered in the Hezbollah post. I belive 95% of this stuff is totally fabricated by the press, and I mean ALL the press. Even FOX does it. They come up with “angles” to events that the average person would never think of, or they “push” a dramatic idea, trying to gin up renewed interest in things. Shepard Smith went on and on for three days, reporting from Hifah, about how the Israeli’s were taking such a beating in the war, and how they ran from Lebanon the last time with their “tails between their legs”. I wanted to reach into the TV and pop his arrogant face inside out. But then you think for a minute and you know its just the old press trick of “creating” controversy, although in Shepards case the mask has slipped several times before and its obvious he’s a closet Liberal.
- Anyway, you look at the people the left has leading them and the bald-faced lies and anti-American crapolla they spew every day, and I’m pretty sure they’re not going anywhere politically.

I’d certainly like to believe that BBH, but it’s hard to get over just how many looney lefties there are in this country. Just the right set of circumstances and enough of ‘em will find a polling place and join in with enough fence sitters who fall four the nonsense…all in all, those who claim to be fed up with the GOP need to take a breath and think of the alternative. Then, God help us all.
Marshall – between the greying of America, and the huge pile of negative on terror stuff that the reps have to throw against the Dembulbs in the upcoming elections, I don’t see a clear way for them to get a majority together. The only thing that could shift the balance at this point is this damn war in the ME and Iraq, and both would have to be complete disasters even then, and I don’t think either will be. Somethings got to give in Iraq. they can’t just keep going this way, so I expect too see the Iraqi leadership take some serious steps to restore order. Once Saddam is dispatched that will probably take a lot of the steam out of the Saddam loyalists.
- In the Isreali war, I think it will be a standoff in the end, with Hezbollah at least badly reduced in effectiveness. The world just isn’t ready to bite the bullet, and accept the true situation yet. It’s going to take another really major terrorist disaster someplace to force people to stand up. It’s always been that way. Classically the Killers have to be knocking down their doors before they get it. The Left knows that, and plays off of it for political reasons. The hard left anti-war faction is small, but the left, ever the opportunists, take advantage of their nuttiness. Gets them a lot of “face time” so they can slip in all the talking points designed to paint the Reps bad at evry turn. People get to a saturation point where all the negative junk turns them off, but its all the Left has so they go with it.
- In general there’s no way I’d trade places. If the Reps run someone that fits the popular mold, and the Left runs another nutbag like Kerry, they’re toast.
