Alec Baldwin: The Left Is Now Full of Corrosive Hate, And That's All the Fault of Fox and Breitbart
— Ace

You know when I say "Read the Whole Thing?" Here's my suggestion: Don't read the whole thing.

It's not that there isn't some minor interest to parts of it; there is. But overall, it's long-winded, self-justifying, and self-indulgent.

You can read a bit of at Hot Air, but here's the part I focus on:


In the New Media culture, anything good you do is tossed in a pit, and you are measured by who you are on your worst day. What’s the Boy Scout code? Trustworthy. Loyal. Helpful. Friendly. Courteous. Kind. Obedient. Cheerful. Thrifty. Brave. Clean. Reverent. I might be all of those things, at certain moments. But people suspect that whatever good you do, you are faking. You’re that guy. You’re that guy that says this. There is a core of outlets that are pushing these stories out. Breitbart clutters the blogosphere with “Alec Baldwin, he’s the Devil, he’s Fidel Baldwin.”

Broadway has changed, by my lights. The TV networks, too. New York has changed. Even the U.S., which is so preposterously judgmental now. The heart, the arteries of the country are now clogged with hate. The fuel of American political life is hatred. Who would ever dream that Obama would deserve to be treated the way he has been? The birth-certificate bullshit, which is just Obama’s version of Swiftboating. And all for the electoral nullification that seems like a cancer on the American system. But this is Roger Ailes. And Fox. And Breitbart. And this is all about hate. It’s Hate Incorporated. But the liberals have taken the bait and run in the same direction—and it’s just as corrosive. MSNBC, in its own way, is as full of shit, as redundant and as superfluous, as Fox.

Wait, we started this, and the left then imitated us?

Of course this is nonsense on stilts. I have decried this Scalp-Hunting culture myself, frequently, as infects both the left and the right.

But here's why I sometimes am conflicted about it:

The right is engaging in this defensively, as an Alinsky-style attempt to "Make them live by their own rulebooks."

The right has been savaged by these tactics for decades. It is frustration over that that I believe is responsible for so many people being unwilling to acknowledge that Ted Nugent's remarks were way over-the-line: Because they know this game is played by the left relentlessly, but the left is never (or very rarely) called to account for its own PC Speech Transgressions.

No one on the right -- or very, very few on the right -- wish this odious, toxic, censorious regime to continue.

But many on the right worry about unilateral disarmament. We know that if the left is permitted to engage in this game, without the sick rules of this game ever being turned against them, they will do so zealously and in perpetuity.

They will have no reason whatsoever to re-assess their strategy of Scalp-Hunting based on accusations of Speechcraft. (That is, witchcraft -- only the "magic words" here are not Satanic, but contrary to the PC code. And you can't be burned at the stake for Speechcraft accusations, but you can and will probably lose your job.)

I don't think that Alec Baldwin should have been fired due his own Speechcraft Trial. Not per se, I mean. In a properly-functioning civic culture, Badlwin would have been criticized, laughed at, jeered at, and made to pay a social penalty commensurate with his crime. (Which was, at the end of the day, a crime equal to about that of Ted Nugent -- he got mad, he wished to make an insult sting, and he resorted to broad slurs against large numbers of people when he should have kept his insult to his actual target.)

But that is not the regime we live under. The regime we currently live under, perpetrated by a censorious, Scalp-Hunting left, which even attacks progressive dope Piers Morgan for being insufficiently sensitive to transexuals' feelings. (Morgan's transgression consisted of asking a transexual about being a boy, before having a sex change -- this was a horrible aggression, you see, because the transexual in question believes that "she's" always been a girl.)

Here is the ultimate consequence if this ridiculous regime of ginned-up social media offense-taking and consequences-demanding is permitted to persist: We will simply wind up silencing ourselves, for fear of outraging the latest Censor On a Warpath.

I would like very much for this regime to end. I'm sure most readers believe the same thing.

But it is silly to claim this is all due to "Breitbart" and "Roger Ailes" and "FoxNews." Conservatives are very late to the politically-correct Scalp-Hunting game-- the left has been doing this for decades.

It's not the right, after all, which is siccing the IRS and a host of other government agencies on Catherine Engelbrecht.

It's not the right, in this climate of government harassment of critics, declaring that Health and Human Services should now monitor each and every social media message in America.

It's not conservatives calling for an end to academic freedom on college campuses.

It's not Republicans who are purging even the Science Fiction Writers of America of veteran members for alleged "sexism," nor who are proposing a regime of censorship in that organization's quarterly Bulletin.

The regime will come to an end when those on the left -- especially liberals who have upset by this transformation of the movement into a censorious Scalp-Hunting club but who have kept silent about it in order to keep the left/liberal alliance intact -- begin speaking up about it, and defending those accused of new Speechcraft violations, including those on the right.

I will tell you personally that I and most of the people I know are ready, willing, and dying to put this corrupt, vicious, anti-free-speech, and anti-American sport to an end.

But we can't quite do that when people like Chuck Todd are always ready to call the right's outrage "fauxtrage" or false outrage, but never willing to say the same thing about the perpetual outrage of his fellow travelers on the left.

A detente can be reached, and most on the right wish for there to be one. But this detente cannot simply be a return to the old system whereby this vicious tactic was gleefully employed by the censorious left and no one else.

It's about time that anyone interested in Free Speech -- or America -- begins telling the censors of all stripes to pipe down.

The left has been reduced to one value - that which empowers the left is good, that which weakens it is bad.

The only way the left will stop this "hate speech" game  is if it is turned on them more effectively then they can wield it.

  I have decried this Scalp-Hunting culture myself, frequently, as infects both the left and the right.

 

Isn't it mostly post-hoc scalp hunting?  You already have a visceral hate for the icon of the other side, then when the icon slips you get to say "gotcha".

 

I tried to have a reasoned discussion about Mitt Romney's dog with my lib friends.  It was a story he told about himself to be self-deprecating, to show that he wasn't a mannequin, that he had family misadventures and one of them involved dog poop running down the windows of his car.  It didn't matter that he loved the dog enough to want to bring him along on a family vacation back before minivans were invented. 

 

It was Romney, so it was evil, so post-hoc my friend could hate him for being mean to a dog and not just because she's a liberal twit.

41 What you just said. I have been told, to my face, that it is impossible for me to exist. Impossible. I cannot be a woman and have the politics I do. I cannot be queer and have the politics I do. I most particularly cannot be a woman who is queer and have the politics I do. Thus, I am not really a woman and not really queer. When the Left is attempting to negate my very existence, I am ill inclined to listen to pompous speeches regarding civility from the Left. It is not just Othering and the Unpeople of Jesusland. It is an attempt to negate my existence itself. But I'm the horrible one. Sure. Got it, Sparky.

In WWII the Germans didn't avoid using chemical weapons because they had a moral objection to using them but because the Allies made clear they would respond in kind and Germany likely had more to lose.

The paradigm, as you note, is the same here. The left only recognizes force, and will not negotiate away a tactic that works for them due to moral concerns about the tactic...

Not exactly so. Some liberals very much do care but they haven't a clue what we say, what we're subjected to, what we're complaining about. Their condemnation is reflexive and arises from ignorance.

48 I read this this morning. I was wondering if Baldwin might take a step back and ask himself if this public flaying of him might happen to other people, too, like maybe the Tea Party isn't the neo-klan, or Ted Cruz isn't Satan. But I'm pretty sure Baldwin won't question Baldwin's preconceptions here, and will consider himself the only victim of media 'Enemy of the Moment' Syndrome.

49 Also, I read the whole thing. Kinda weird how he's so convinced he didn't say "faggot", but he won't say what he did say. He admits it was "bisyllabic" and angry. He swears it couldn't possibly have been "faggot" because he never,ever has used that term. It's also weird cause freely uses "cocksucker". In my experience cocksucker and faggot were basically the same thing. I'm calling you an asshole and, for further meanness, I'm question your manhood. Same thing when you call a dude a bitch or a pussy. The meaning and intention of them are all pretty much the same, You Suck, I Hate You, and You Are Not a Real Man.

70 Since you picked the Nugent scab I have a additional thought on that thread: I think the ones claiming that, by calling Nugent's statement racist we were "bending over" for the left have it exactly backwards. If I have standards and I apply them and that happens to agree with something a leftist says, so be it. If my standard is that I defend something because the left opposes it, then the left defines my standards. I jump when they tell me to by attacking someone and must defend "our guy."

92 Well, he's diagnosed the problem correctly but his conclusion as to the cause is incorrect.  I said it in an earlier thread.... Baldwin is a smart and funny guy.  I believe, given to correct tutor, that he could be swayed to our side.  I admit that he is a guilty pleasure of mine.  Kind of like Will Ferrell.

94 "The man of this school goes first to a political meeting, where he complains that savages are treated as if they were beasts; then he takes his hat and umbrella and goes on to a scientific meeting, where he proves that they practically are beasts. In short, the modern revolutionist, being an infinite sceptic, is always engaged in undermining his own mines. In his book on politics he attacks men for trampling on morality; in his book on ethics he attacks morality for trampling on men. Therefore the modern man in revolt has become practically useless for all purposes of revolt. By rebelling against everything he has lost his right to rebel against anything." ~ G.K.Chesterton

Saying something is over-the-line is not scalp hunting, unless you believe any criticism of anyone (or anyone on the right) is unfair and a serious breach of the spirit of Free Expression.

97 After never watching 30 Rock for years I've been watching it lately, with a very nuanced eye. Alec Baldwin is a fat f*ck. His images are carefully cropped from the waist up. When they do have to show him full frame he grabs a pillow or a cushion and throws it over his gut. His little hissy fit over getting his picture taken is more about the fact that he is fat then anything else. Fat is fine, but he needs to move to someplace else if he wants to deny reality.

103 Bush Whacked The Slander of President Bush by Liberals In only his first 5 years in office- President Bush has faced a challenge to his election victory, the terrorist attacks on 9/11, anthrax mailings, two major wars, an international tsunami disaster, a space shuttle disaster, the worst natural disaster in American history. While trying to lead America through these challenges- President Bush has been attacked unmercifully by liberals. Liberalism Defined Exposing Liberalism to Light The list of challenges faced by President Bush here "I would like to apologize for referring to George W. Bush as a "deserter." What I meant to say is that George W. Bush is a deserter, an election thief, a drunk driver, a WMD liar and a functional illiterate." Michael Moore "Bush's actions remind me of Herman Goering's quote during the Nuremberg Trials, where he stated: '...it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship.'" Barbra Streisand This President invaded a sovereign nation in defiance of the UN. He is basically a war criminal. Honestly. He should be tried at The Hague. Rosie O'donnell "While President Bush likes to project an image of strength and courage, the real truth is that in the presence of his large financial contributors, he is a moral coward," Al Gore "George W. Bush is evil. He is a terrorist. He is evil. He is arrogant. And he is out of control." Julianne Malveaux - USA Today columnist “I despise him [President George W. Bush]. I despise his administration and everything they stand for....To my mind the election was stolen by George Bush and we have been suffering ever since under this man’s leadership....There has to be a movement now to really oppose what he is proposing because it’s unconstitutional, it’s immoral and basically illegal....It is an embarrassing time to be an American. It really is. It’s humiliating.” Jessica Lange "As we have learned in the past weeks, we cannot trust George W. Bush," Barbra Streisand "George W Bush is like a bad comic working the crowd, a moron, if you'll pardon the expression," Martin Sheen "Just so you know, we're ashamed the president of the United States is from Texas," Natalie Maines- Dixie Chicks "There's nothing you could point to in the Bush Administration with pride, Nothing. There is no way any rational, reasonable person can say that the Bush Administration has been good for America." Janeane Garofalo "I am more patriotic than this president we have, who I consider a traitor of human and American principles.” Sean Penn "In two short years, George W. Bush has taught us what the 'W' stands for -- wrong. Wrong for our children, wrong for our parents, wrong for our values. Wrong, wrong, wrong for America." John Edwards "We stand a chance of getting a president who has probably killed more people before he gets into office than any president in the history of the United States." Susan Sarandon "Bush wasn't elected, he was selected— selected by five judges up in Washington who voted along party lines," Alec Baldwin "he sounds more like a gang leader in South-Central L.A. than one that is trying to institute a policy of democracy and reconstruction in the world." Al Sharpton "President Bush is pushing the wrong buttons when he says, 'Those who are not with us, are against us,' " Soros said. "This is an imperialist vision in which the U.S. leads and the rest of the world follows." George Soros "shout a little louder if you want the president impeached." Bruce Springsteen "This is a racist and imperialist war. The warmongers who stole the White House (you call them "hawks", but I would never disparage such a fine bird) have hijacked a nation's grief and turned it into a perpetual war on any non-white country they choose to describe as terrorist." Woody Harrelson "I'm both pro-Kerry and anti-Bush. More anti-Bush." Howard Stern "To start with, anti-Castro groups were vital in implementing the dirty business of the butterfly ballots ensuring Bush's victory at the 2000 elections," Oliver Stone "The difference between Martin Sheen and George W. Bush is Martin Sheen is actually convincing when he acts like he's president." Paul Begala “Who gave George Bush the duty to free people around the world?” Mike Wallace "George Bush doesn't care about black people," Kanye West "We all need to take a deep breath and think about being a Bush daughter and having that cross to bear. I'd go out and have a couple of drinks too," Julia Roberts "The war on terrorism is terrorism." Woody Harrelson This was about oil. It wasn’t about human rights. It’s not about human rights....It is the Bush/Cheney cartel’s fault....Team Bush is more radically corrupt than Richard Nixon ever tried to be....It is, in fact, a conspiracy of the 43rd Reich.” janeane garofalo "I think George Bush is such an embarrassment to America in the way that he doesn't take the rest of the world into consideration." Gwyneth Paltrow "He is supposed to be America's president, but he's not my president, I didn't vote for him," Carlos Santana "I never saw a clearer choice in my life," Baldwin said, describing the Bush administration as being "good at only two things: the economy — and by that I mean stimulating the Dow, stimulating corporate profits and the Dow — and waging war. And they basically screwed up both of them, or they're in the process of screwing up both of them." Alec Baldwin "This week President Bush implemented a military tribunal ... which will make it easier for us to execute (people)." Danny Glover "It's your money, says President Bush when he promotes tax cuts. I disagree with his tax policy but admire his spin." Bill Clinton “Bush stole the elections and since then we have all been suffering the consequences,” Jessica Lange "I wasn't raised in George Bush's America, and I wouldn't be comfortable in it." Richard Dreyfuss “Bush says you’re either with us or against us. I don’t know who ‘us’ is. I say to Mr. Bush—this is what democracy looks like. We will not give our daughters and sons for a war for oil.” Susan Sarandon President Bush is "a dull and rigid man ... whose philosophy is a jumble of badly sutured body parts trying to walk," who is running for president on a platform of tragedy. Garrison Keillor The world would be completely different today had Bush not stolen the elections from Gore. Bush is only adding more fuel to the fire. He is a slave and the puppet of the large weapons and oil companies which put him into office." Oliver Stone "I never made that statement, but you can tell Gov. Bush to rest assured that I'm not going to leave the country because we have to get him out of office and we have to get his brother out of office in 2004. We're not resting until we get that done." Alec Baldwin President George Bush “is just dim," George Clooney "I don't think that (U.S. President) George Bush...is a man of honor," Harry Belafonte "What did Bush do on 9/11? He ran away and hid. George Clooney "[If] a black is a tyrant, he is first and foremost a tyrant, then he incidentally is black. Bush is a tyrant and if he gathers around him black tyrants, they all have to be treated as they are being treated," he added Harry Belafonte "I don't like Bush," she said. "I don't trust him. I don't like his record. He's stupid. He's lazy." Cher "We live in a time with ficticious election results that elect fictious presidents. We live in a time when we have a man sending us to war for fictious reasons. We are against this war Mr. Bush. Shame on you. Shame on you!" Michael Moore "This guy is as bright as an egg-timer," Chevy Chase "The America we believe in can't survive another four years of George Bush" Moby Reagan was a B-movie actor, but at least he had the ability to touch certain emotional notes. Bush is just utterly incapable of it." Ed Norton "There are people dying and (the U.S. government is) not putting the boats in the water. I think that's criminal negligence. I don't think anybody ever anticipated the criminal negligence of the Bush administration in this situation." Sean Penn

112 This letter reflects classic passive-aggressive narcissistic behavior, where he takes no responsibility for his behavior/rage/anger, as it is always another's fault that he behaved this way (hint: his last paragraph or so, the non-apology apology of where "IF he offended anyone, he apologizes."

I would say there is also a soupcon added to the mix above of personality disorder, of paranoia, insecurity, pomposity, self-righteousness, jealousy, and pure, unadulterated hatred, all swirling around in a toxic radioactive stew.

He must be a blast to be around, as no one escapes his wrath but his current wife (and she should be worried) and his baby girl (who has a big sister he referred to once as a pig). He is a darlin' man.

I don't think Baldwin will leave.

Being in the public eye is his profession...what else is he going to do?

 

He's pissed because they held him to a Different Standard than they do other notable people on the left.

 

They didn't cover for him.

They didn't give him a pass...like they do for other 'stars' on the left.

Like they did for Clinton and are now doing for Barky.

 

And as far as 'spewing Hate' goes, Alec Baldwin has spewed his share.

I will never forget his tirade on the Conan O'Brian show in 1998...where he jumped up and down yelling "Stone Em! Stone Em! Stone Em! Drag them out in the street and Stone Em!"

 

He was talking about Henry Hyde and the Republicans in congress who had just impeached Clinton.

154 I just can't work up any sympathy for lefties being attacked by the thought police and speech police of the left. Frankly, it disappointed me when GLAAD gave Alec a free pass on his serial homophobia. I just hope for their sakes, that none of Alec's children turn out to be lesbians. I'd hate to think what he'd call them when he gets mad.

155 Bashir is a good example -- although didn't the feminist Left jump on him as a supporter of sexual violence against women? So we had to get the Left to attack one of their own. If the feminists had given him a pass, could he have survived criticism from the Right?

Posted by: Flatbush Joe at February 24, 2014 01:00 PM (ZPrif)

156 Here is the problem: the lefties never saw a problem that couldn't be fixed by a new law, and selective enforcement of that (no doubt defective) new law is justified on an ends justify means basis. That sort of reasoning leaves conservatives heads spinning, and conservatives themselves as speechless and confused as a lone male in a class of fifth grade girls.

159 The thing about Alinsky's rules - mainly ridicule and making them live by their own rules - is that they work far better on the left than they do the right. The left has to invent the majority of the so-called "rules" the right must live by, as well as the transgressions, but the left has boxed itself in with their bizarre speech codes. And as Lorne Michaels claimed - Democrats tend to take humor too personally while Republicans tend to laugh it off. I think this is why the left is becoming unhinged at a disturbing rate. The problem however is that, historically, they behave like animals when corned and lots of people end up dead.

But Ace, that's what makes it so hilarious! The part I loved best is that he is insisting upon himself that he is not a homophobe, and that he goes to an LGTB group for help educating himself about their community...and yet, in the seventh paragraph,, he calls someone a "F-to-M tranny." That sort of talk is a HUGE NONO in the gay community, tranny to a transgendered person is akin to the F word. You call them transwomen or transmen. He is so completely tone deaf, he keeps digging his own grave with every word written in this piece.

It's kind of delicious. And sad. And sadly delicious.

190 Since I have to go prep dinner, I repeat my previous post on this. Can't wait to come back and read Ace's full post, of course. cut paste Like I mentioned in an earlier thread, painful as it was, I read the Baldwin piece over at Drudge. It was the most stunning case of willful ignorance possible. Baldwin rails against: Andrew Sullivan Anderson Cooper TMZ Shia LaBeouf MSNBC NBC Rachel Maddow Mika B. Phil Griffin Capital One Bank AT&T WNYC radio Huffington Post Then blames Fox, Roger Ailes and Breitbart. He says If MSNBC went off the air tomorrow, what difference would it make? If the Huffington Post went out of business tomorrow, what difference would it make? And, that Liberal and conservative media are now precisely equivalent. He makes no connection to JEF and the divisiveness of the country. Us bitter clingers. Even the U.S., which is so preposterously judgmental now. The heart, the arteries of the country are now clogged with hate. The fuel of American political life is hatred. Who would ever dream that Obama would deserve to be treated the way he has been? And, then, if you can stomach any more, he tilts conservative -- but, is still in denial about it. I had dreams of running for office at some point in the next five years. In the pyramid of decision-making in New York City politics, rich people come first, unions second, and rank-and-file New Yorkers come dead last. I wanted to change that. I wanted to find a way to lower the cost of the city government and thus reduce New YorkÂ’s shameful tax burden. I would have decentralized the schools. My father was a public-school teacher. He always told me that although you could encourage a child to work hard, you could only go so far; that half the goal had to be achieved at home. As progressive as IÂ’ve been in my politics, there are other things I donÂ’t think of as liberal or progressive, just common sense. I probably have to move out of New York. I just canÂ’t live in New York anymore. Everything I hated about L.A. IÂ’m beginning to crave. L.A. is a place where you live behind a gate, you get in a car, your interaction with the public is minimal. I used to hate that. But New York has changed. Manhattan is like Beverly Hills. And the soul of New York has moved to Brooklyn, where everything new and exciting seems to be. I have to accept that. I want my newest child to have as normal and decent a life as I can provide. New York doesnÂ’t seem the place for that anymore. His only choices are NY and LA. Hysterical.

>> But people suspect that whatever good you do, you are faking<<

Absolutely true and both sides are guilty of that. We do it to oursleves. For example, the minute you take a reasonable position which requires negotiation (where you've thoughtfully developed an strategy as to what's possible, posture and probabilities)  you're an OMG! RHINO!.

Now some of that is conditioned. We've taken it up the squeakhole some many times it would be foolish to not interject some thought about goals and motives. But the immediate reaction doesn't involve that. It is some primal scream that seeks to paint anyone who doesn't wholly agree with you as some kind of tepid, squishy, unprincipled fool.

That's why nothing will get done until people begin to understand negotiation and strategies such as incrementalism.

Now, after the brilliance of the Progressive Media and their messaging campaign we live under the insane dictatorship of Mob Media Democracy, where NO ONE Left or Right can measure up, exactly what happens?

If you've ever known any examples of the breed then you know that, for them, the fight's the thing.  And, yeesh, how they can hate.  Gays, Jews, blacks ... makes no difference to them.  But they reserve their most incandescent hate for each other.  Just ask Stephen Baldwin.  He'll tell you all about it.

The self-delusion runs strong with this one.

 

What cracks me up is that it's so blatantly easy to prove that the lefties started it.  Just ask anyone where the verb "to bork" comes from.  The "gotcha" nonsense, slanders, and out and out lies on display during Bork's confirmation hearing were so blatant that the English language co-opted his name as a descriptor for the process.

197 I've never seen Hunt for Red October, but is on Netflix, so watched. I got to the exposition part of the beginning and stopped because I could not take the Baldwin any more. Should I suck it up and finish the movie? Is it worth it?

Hunt for Red October is actually a really good movie.

 

It has a lot of other good actors in it besides Alec Baldwin...and Baldwin hadn't  become a leftist Hate Nozzle yet, when he made that movie.

------------------

 

The funny thing is, 150 years ago no one would have cared what they had to say.  Up until the twentieth century, performers were considerable disreputable scum, and lower than dirt.  And the actions of the performers certainly didn't help, either.  Drew Barrymore comes from a long line of very famous actors all named Barrymore, all of whom were raging alcoholics.

Thanks, Tami...for bringing up that movie, 'The Edge'.

 

Good movie, imo.

 

And in that movie...it's inferred that Baldwin's character tries to bait the Bear, so it will kill Anthony Hopkin's character.

 

There are several instances, where we're led to believe that is going on.

 

Baldwin invoked the Bear to get his enemy...and it got him instead.

Which is eerily similar to what has happened to him in real life.

300 I can see Alec a few days ago, after being advised by the handful of people who sort of/kinda like and understand him: "Alec! Don't write this! You are opening a can of worms! This will backfire spectacularly!"

But Sir Alec, in full self-righteous dudgeon, applies grease to his spiky hair, and writes this epic letter bomb, ticking off the list of those he hates and blames. Rachel Maddow...check! TMZ...check! Huffpo...check! One by one he shreds and leaves no prisoners behind! He felt joyful! He had done it! Monkey off his hairy back! Toasts and takes selfie.

But then, today, comments of widely known liberal circles, all tell him to not let the door hit his backside and blow it out his pie hole. waaaaa! Not going well! No one in his camp...wait! Is camp like the word faggot? Searches wiki. Unsure until campy people, maybe from Occupy, protest the use of that word (sort of like that black chick reporter saying whites cannot steal the word "racist").

 Alec has drained all of liquor cabinet and has not bathed today. So, on top of red-faced anger and greasy hair: stinky flop-sweat and righteous body odor! A pungent combo! Should he or should he not risk a trip to Zabar's for food, fellowship and booze? That is the question. He risks being snubbed by queens, who he did not know thought that word offensive! Faggot/maggot/agate....how to cover that mistake? What was the word I used after cocksucker to that reporter who nearly hit baby's head with lens?

Racks brain/ racks fingers through greasy hair/ racks up beer cans and bowls with baby's diaper bag. Down to last drop of Absolute and French brandy normally used for cooking. What to do?

Risk paps or send wife to liquor store? Type another hate letter to NYT? That is the ticket! Writes list of new people hating him and pecks away at laptop. Somewhere, with each banging of his keyboard, an angel named Breitbart laughs and throws chicken wings.

And Abbott needs to throw him under the bus this cycle. But I didn't say this until now. Why not? because I view his racist and evil comment as LESS racist and evil than, say, being knocked out on the street because of my own race. I would like black crime reported on first, and stopped, before I go out of my way to condemn white words.

Compassion is a dud, we know the welfare state doesn't work and therefore isn't compassion, logic is a dud, no amount of reason will see their argument prevail.

311 Ace you're dead wrong about Rand Paul and Ted Nugent. Your "everyone knows it's racist" is very much like Pauline's "no one I know voted for Nixon." Rand Paul is a sitting US Senator and, if Rand truly believes in the Constitution, Paul should not have called on a private citizen to curb his speech through demanding an apology. Condemnation is fine, but Rand crossed the line when it comes to the First Amendment. Ace, you've been reduced to pounding the table, because you have no facts or law.

312

The regime will come to an end when those on the left -- especially liberals who have upset by this transformation of the movement into a censorious Scalp-Hunting club but who have kept silent about it in order to keep the left/liberal alliance intact -- begin speaking up about it, and defending those accused of new Speechcraft violations, including those on the right.

That is about as likely to happen as moderate Muslims are to speak out about radical Islam and its dangers.

313 Yeah, Rand is so etching else these days? Civil Rights Act of 1964? "Hey, private business owners have a right to ban people based on the color of their skin. It's stupid policy, but it's entirely their constitutional right." Ted Nugent makes an off-color remark? Time for the public shaming of a public figure. Which is constitutional, and also got him another invite to speak to the NAACP. They're apparently intrigued by these "economic freedom zones" that sound like a new poverty-driven bubble and Rand's siding with Holder to let felons vote.
