Quotes of the day

posted at 10:35 pm on September 14, 2009 by Allahpundit

“Obama Derangement Syndrome is establishing itself as a potent political force, able to rally tens of thousands of citizens to the Washington Mall after Glenn Beck’s call. Joe Wilson’s outburst isn’t an embarrassment of incivility to these folks; it is a rallying cry for an army of useful idiots. But Republicans will soon find that they cannot contain or moderate this strain—while Democrats won’t understand what hit them…

Republicans are playing a dangerous game. They are benefitting from all this anger in the short term, but they have tapped into something deep and ugly that they can’t control. Calling the president a communist or even Hitler is something far beyond simple incivility or street theater—it is an accusation that intentionally stirs the crazy pot. It is ultimately an incitement to violence.”

Take a look at this rant by Rick Santelli

d1carter on September 15, 2009 at 12:31 AM

Beck is a bottom feeder who is bringing Conservatives down to his level.

Decider on September 14, 2009 at 11:43 PM

beck gets 3,000,000 viewers at 2pm pacific — on pay cable

the NYT gets 900,000 viewers all day any day.

i think glenn will be okay…

Also, as has been pointed out repeatedly, some of the more radical signs are being bandied by Lyndon LaRouche supporters.

The 9/12 march in DC was NOT a Republican event as any who informed themselves beyond media narrative knows. It was a rally to preserve our republic. That call resonates not only with Republicans but with Democrats, Independents, Libertarians, and Conservatives.

Progressives/Socialists/Marxists/Maoists/Che-sympathizers simply do not have any “skin in the game” of valuing our republic.

And the issue is not a “game”, nor is it “a distraction”. Axelrod, Emanuel, Pelosi, and Obama can play all of the word games that they want, but their delusion is mighty apparent.

The writer of “The Daily Beast” piece wholly missed the significance of the point that the woman from Cuba was making. It is he who is the “useful idiot,” so blind that he cannot see.

even zombie has fled LGF…she’s as horrified by Charle’s obvious paranoid delusions as the rest of us. but she has more at stake….Crazy Unlce Chuck knows her identity. she literally fears for her life, so she seems to have slunk off without a whimper, hoping her privacy will remain intact.

I want her here! Let’s form a rescue party! New location. New identity. We need her! Zombie!

I don’t think the bi-polar nutter knows her exact identity.

If he did, he’d publish it already at the moment she dared to factually question his rabid defence of Van Jones’ Trutherism.

So that’s the same Zombie that Chuckie thru under the bus last week when she stated she had inside information on Van Jones?

I watched that in horror and could not figure out why she’d take that kind of abuse. Chuckie was also going into his paypal tipjar and revealing peoples real identity. How can he get away with that crap?

We need the Zombie at HA! We will protect you.

Aristotle on September 15, 2009 at 12:34 AM

The thread at LGF to which you allude was a slow motion dance with Zombie politely pressing her point. Charles would have banned anyone else who dared disagree with him in the manner which Zombie did, and I held my breath as I scrolled down and watched them spar. I believe that was the night it dawned on Zombie that Charles Johnson had gone totally and completely insane…and she realized that she had allowed him too much access to her private life.

Whether he knows her identity or not, she’s freaked out by Johnson, that’s for sure.

DrW on September 15, 2009 at 12:39 AM

Republicans are now benefiting from the tens of thousands of angry white people who descended on Washington over the weekend—but they’ve tapped into something ugly that they can’t control, says John Avlon.

The weirdness of the Wingnut summer isn’t over. The anger has metastasized into the body politic, and it’s going to get a lot uglier from here.
============================================================

A lot uglier!!

Really!!

And with the Liberals race to embrace Socialism,and remold
America in thier image.It is the Left who have forced the
RIGHT to act!!

Obama and crew were making the conditions perfect for a
Political Storm,with in your face,’Coarsening’ and thier
tactics of goons and brown-shirts,they taunted!!

And the Right has answered those taunts!

I stopped reading LGF when Charles banned ED the Weather Guy. Ed was incredibly myopic, but a damn smart guy and always had cool weather stuff and huge colored letters smeared across his posts. When Johnson went batty over the European supremeicists, i realized that he had taken one too many bike rides without a helmet.

No, it was a snip from a bit further on where Pelosi is looking at a seating chart and then looks up and turns into Medusa. An HA commenter named Joe Caps, or maybe Joe T Caps, posted it. You can hear a woman’s voice calling Nancy the Grinch.

If any harm should befall Zombie I will use my little green ring to take Charles Johnson apart molecule by molecule and then put him back together again. And maybe I put him back together right and maybe I don’t. But he’ll be alive and conscious for every second of it.

Actually, that’s quite scary to me. Internet safety, protecting our identities from trolls and weirdos who might want to cause us harm seems job on for any political commentary site. I place my complete trust in Michelle, Ed, and Allahpundit here and have faith that they want to protect us as much as they want to protect themselves.

..and Allah is being called a clown by his HA commenters for posting it.

The Hot Air Klan have been calling for Allahpundits head for a long time now. The way things are going they might just get that done.

It is instilled in these sad people. Mediocrity is to be praised. Excellence is to be considered taking advantage, unless you have the proper letter after your name.

I just posted a comment on LGF– have been a member for a few years and only posted a few times. I asked him about a comment he made re: “one of the most repulsive posters I think I’ve ever seen.” It’s the one of O in the joker face and asked him if he’d seen the one with Bush and his brains blown out. That is pretty repulsive. This one, not so much. I also asked him about “RIGHT WING BLOGS MASSIVE FAIL” it seemed a bit over hyped and asked him why he didn’t state “some” right wing blogs. There was NOTHING rude or mean in my post..anyway…

I’ve been banned. My comment was not posted. WOW. Chas has lost his way. He’s a complete sell-out. Sad. Never, ever had that problem with ANY site. God forbid someone ask questions or criticize.

sandee on September 15, 2009 at 1:48 AM

“sandee on September 15, 2009 at 1:48 AM”

the preponderance of evidence puts zombie as a female. given chaz’s “mad skillz” the preponderance of evidence is he either knows her identity or has gathered clues over the years that he just might be able to expose her if he felt like doing it. one would think some back-channel actions by righty bloggers to talk chaz off the ledge would be prudent here, but since there are NO righty bloggers [save mebbe for a.p.] left who would give chaz the time of day after his latest histrionics, i fear the situation is going to end badly — for chaz, for zombie, and, tho it will certainly recover [most likely in the blink of an eye], the right side of the ‘sphere.

Cindy Munford on September 15, 2009 at 3:00 AM

I guess the only person I hate more than glenn beck is Charles Johnson of little brain blueballs. I’m glad that everyone on this thread is pretty much reaffirming what I’ve already known—that the guy’s a weasel. I only became aware of the guy after he started going after Robert Spencer for being some crypto-fascist nazi. I’m a dedicated jihad watch reader, but this Charles totally face-flopped on spencer meeting with some english nazi group. And when he’s caught in some lie, he just compounds the situation by adding more. He was even wrong about van jones being a truther. And everyone according to him, is a fascist. I’m glad that everyone’s pretty much aware of his notorious reputation in the blogosphere .

New identity. We need her! Zombie!

Loxodonta on September 15, 2009 at 12:32 AM

Truthfully, YES. Her (I didn’t realize Zombie was a chick) story on Holdren – for one big example – opened a lot of eyes to how vile this administration really is – and how dangerous it can be. The day to day stories about Berkeley are enlightening for those of us that live in the Free States.

Zombie is a STAR. I would contribute to a fund to help or reward her/him.

i don’t know if i’ll get kicked off for this, but it aint all Beck. it’s Michelle, AmericanThinker, Lucianne, Townhall, Drudge, Sweetness&light…

ndanielson on September 15, 2009 at 1:10 AM

It’s a team effort. Beck knows it, too – heck, he points out that it’s Joe and Jane watchdog sending in stories and things they find. It’s the guy who blew the whistle on the NEA, it’s James & Hannah playing pimp & hooker to showcase ACORN’s corruption it’s every single individual out there in DC last week.

Townhall is full of solid heavy hitting conservative/libertarian thinkers who do a lot of heavy lifting. Michelle does a huge amount of research, Drudge is all over the place constantly being up to speed, Breitbart is right there with him. Beck, like Hannity and Rush, is a visible face on the front lines of this clash of ideologies and pushback against the leftist/statists. I give Levin, Quinn & Rose, Medved, Gunny Bob, Wilkow, Church, Coulter, Ingraham credit – they’re all doing something positive. Heck, even black sheep Savage does something by getting himself blacklisted for thought crimes – illustrating the bizarre moral compass of the left that talk=terror.

It’s a team effort, though. The quarterback can’t throw if there’s no line there, and the receivers can’t get the ball if there’s no one to throw.

Most everybody in the blogroll is doing a big part, too – from Powerline to Jawa Report. (I say “most everybody” because I agree, LGF has turned to crap as CJ has gone nuts.)

Wouldn’t you consider Mr. Beck and Mr. Johnson opposite ends of the spectrum? Maybe it is the over emotionalism of the two and not really their message.

Cindy Munford on September 15, 2009 at 3:15 AM

I should add my list of big & small folks is by no means comprehensive. I certainly don’t mean to leave out folks like Sowell and Goldberg and Stossel, Penn & Teller and Parker & Stone – there are just too many influential conservative/libertarian/constitutionalist-leaning thinkers, speakers, and doers all along the spectrum to list.

Cindy Munford on September 15, 2009 at 3:19 AM

I don’t think I am going to worry about the fringe kooks.

Cindy Munford on September 15, 2009 at 3:00 AM

Every group has fringe kooks. Probably most if not all extended families have them. As long as they are simply foaming at the mouth, there’s not much to be done about it. However, America has a history of people taking things too far. Thus the safety and security concerns for the president. No matter how much I dislike and disagree with him, I want no harm to come to him. I want to retain my right and the pleasant duty of helping to vote him out of office.

And then, there’s another aspect of the fringe kooks. Their willingness to go after political commenters and blog posters like you and me. And no matter how much Allahpundit drives me up the wall at times, he’s one of ours. And nobody is to touch a hair on his head, assuming he has any hairs on his head, unless he wants that to happen. Besides, if anything happened to him, who would we have to tease without mercy?

And as for posters like you and me, the notion that LGF is publicly exposing identities of posters with whom they disagree really is frightening. I cannot imagine Michelle, Ed or AP stooping to such a level, endangering posters and dishonoring themselves.

So, I confess I do fret a little about the fringe kooks.

er, he was dissing chaz as well as beck while praising spencer. i wuz trying to point out the inconsistency in that.

for the record, i am a FORMER lizardoid who frankly pities chaz that he has destroyed one of the best reputations in the ‘sdphere in as short as time as he built it. Curiously, I have been a Beck fan for about the same period of time and have watched him grow from radio to cnn to fox, and while i don’t agree with him on a handful of issues, and yes don’t think too much of his drama queen moments, am cheering him on mightily as he nearly singlehandedly does the job the media was supposed to do …

Buckaroo on September 15, 2009 at 3:27 AM

The thread at LGF to which you allude was a slow motion dance with Zombie politely pressing her point. Charles would have banned anyone else who dared disagree with him in the manner which Zombie did, and I held my breath as I scrolled down and watched them spar. I believe that was the night it dawned on Zombie that Charles Johnson had gone totally and completely insane…and she realized that she had allowed him too much access to her private life.

Whether he knows her identity or not, she’s freaked out by Johnson, that’s for sure.

DrW on September 15, 2009 at 12:39 AM

Wow. I go on work-related travel for a few months, and everything gets crazy.

I know it’s late, and I am WAY beyond the curve on this; but why do two Hosts I like and respect have a prob with one another. Levin despising Savage is understandable…. but what of Glenn Beck.

Levin seems to think Glenn is a phony…. Help me out here, HA.

Not too keen on saying why I am behind the curve… lol

Calling the president a communist or even Hitler is something far beyond simple incivility or street theater—it is an accusation that intentionally stirs the crazy pot. It is ultimately an incitement to violence. -Jonny Avalon

Bull Feathers!
It’s telling it like it is!

All this Miss Prissy pretense by the left-wing GOP wusses over the years, has allowed this progressive Democrat disease to infect every inch of American Life. Now on the cusp of losing our liberty and freedoms forever, Beck and a few other patriots are demonstrating that we can indeed pushback against this tide of enslavement that is threatening to drown not only us, but our children and grandchildren!

If it has to “get ugly” in order to tame this statist beast, than so be it! Better to go down fighting, and defending the rights, that generations of our courageous forefathers gave their lives and limbs for! The alternative is to allow the Chicago thugs to finish their rape of this country.

Thanks for posting that. Zombie is an extraordinary talent. I want her to be safe and able to use her skills and speak her mind freely, even if I disagree with her. I’m sorry that I have no ability to be of any help to her other than offering her words like this here and my best wishes and prayers.

“paragon27x on September 15, 2009 at 3:30 AM”

fact: mark spent years as a law-yuh working hard for Reagan, Rush, etc. before he went into radio hosting
fact: Glenn spent years getting fired by various radio stations, wrecked his life with substance abuse, got clean, and got himself onto the national stage
fact: mark holds grudges

speculation based upon the above: mark doesn’t think much of Glenn’s “pedigree” and feels duty-bound to take him to task until such time as Glenn straightens up and flies right in his eyes — and/or the cows come home, whichever is less likely

paragon27x on September 15, 2009 at 3:30 AM

Mark Levin doesn’t like the fact Glenn Beck divorced himself from the Republicans.
Sean, Mark, and Rush don’t like third party talk, and people think Glenn is talking third party. But I think they are all on the same page. Glenn hasn’t really talked third party, rather he wants conservatives to take back the Democrat party, and conservatives to take back the Republican party….as he said its the corruption in both parties that is causing problems.

disagree that rush forbids 3rd party thought as he’s castigated the gop more than once. sean, yeah, he’s a rnc hack when it comes down to it. mark took a LONG time to swallow the thought of john, and it was only Sarah’s presence that closed the deal imo …

Oh, nonsense! If Levin, indeed, doesn’t like Beck–then it’s because mark’s got a good sense of judgment.

Yes its a team effort, and with any team there are some in-fighting, but we all come together and circle the wagons…at least for the most part ;)

A little in-fighting is good, it keeps everyone honest and sharp. As long as its not so ugly and dirty that it divides us, and the left wins.
