Sept 16: The Daily Dish

The pioneer of the anti-Jihadist blog, Little Green Footballs, is repulsed by some of the developments on the populist, racist right. He’s right to be; and has the courage to say so. For that he is subjected to the usual mau-mauing. Check out his blog. It’s an Yglesias Award in motion

LGF Feb 17th:

There’s nothing like a left-handed compliment from Andrew Sullivan to totally creep you out.

The Daily Dish Dec 8 2008:

LGF and Michelle Malkin are gleeful because I called Andrew out over the Palin baby rumors, but I can’t imagine that either blog would ever allow this type of open debate.

LGF Dec 9th 2008:

http:/The key word in his response is “imagine,” because he apparently has an imaginary LGF in mind.

But “debating” a loony conspiracy theory? Hey, the Daily Dish has lots of that!

LGF April 5 2008:

Not a shred of the post-9/11 Sullivan remains; all that’s left is a rhetoric-spewing empty shill for “progressive” causes.

And finally July 1st 2006 lgf

Andrew Sullivan’s struggle with raging Bush Derangement Syndrome is over, and BDS won. He’s now become indistinguishable from Daily Kos

By the Lydia theory this poses trouble for the his blog.

I’m still hoping for an El-Cid ending to all of this with Charles in the role of Prince Alfonso.

McCain/Johnson Round 3

Round 3 Johnson dances hitting the tea party protests magnifying the 1% crazy uncles.

Robert Stacy comes out snarking:

Patrick Swayze died before having the honor of being banned from LGF

That lands but Smitty’s snark misses weakly.

And then counters with a big one two combo in the same post:

Given the self-evident megalomania of Mad King Charles, no defense should be necessary. His one-man campaign to banish the entire blogosphere will soon end in a bunker beneath the bombed-out rubble of his Reich Chancellery. Nevertheless, I am grateful to so many good bloggers who’ve rallied unbidden to my defense

He mentions Pirates cove among others, but Teach is wrong it’s not BDS if it’s anything it’s Sullivan’s syndrome.

The second punch is with a feather but lands like a brick.

The secret to fighting a smear? Simple: Get right with God. All your sins are known by the ultimate investigative Journalist.

If you are unfairly accused, you are certainly not the first such case, nor the most important Victim in history. You have no right to complain, because even if you are innocent of the specific charge against you, you are not sinless and righteous…

…Hate is against my religion, and I am commanded to pray for my enemies. This is arguably the most difficult commandment, you see. “Thou shalt not” this, that and the other — relatively easy, compared to praying for Charles Johnson.

I give this Round to McCain. I score it 29-29 after 3.

——————-

A personal observation

When you have people willing to go on the firing line to defend you that is HUGE, I can personally say it gives you that George Baily feeling:

Right now That is Robert Stacy McCain, the richest man in the Blogosphere.

Update: The snark jabs keep landing they demonstrate why people pay money for Robert Stacy McCain columns, but don’t pay money for Robert Stacy McCain Bikini photos.

BTW the answer to the question in that post so far is 5 hits in an hour for using the phrase Hannah Giles Bikini photos. None for Mika Brzezinski bikini photos which shows that some people just don’t have eyes or don’t appreciate intelligent liberal women.

Update 2: Is this an oblique reference to this fight?

Update 3: Gateway pundit remembers the good old days.

Update 4: McCain throws another right via Founding Bloggers but he is grazed by it as well, Then another blow that one’s a doozy, Johnson doesn’t seem to notice but isn’t counter punching.

Andrew Sullivan needs to read this article…

…by D. K. Jammal in the Progressive Examiner.

When the Democratic Congress finally passes its Palinized, Obamagutted health care non-reform bill with nothing in it resembling cost control, competition, or anything remotely progressive, the epitaph should read:

“Here lies health care reform: killed by Facebook, buried by Obama.”

By Facebook. By Sarah Palin’s Facebook notes.

You don’t have to agree with Palin’s policies to be wowed by this — or to get a kick out of seeing the misogynist, working class-hating East Coast manchild geeks get their butts handed to them by this PTA mom. This is populism at its most stunning.

Whack job? Depends on your politics.

But lightweight? Ha! Whatever you say, Begala.

See you in 2012, private citizen Palin. Do your thang, babe. Lightweight your way right to the Oval Office.

Via Conservatives4Palin who should be very afraid if people on the left keep figuring it out.

BTW the most important line is the article is this one:

They should have ignored her, as they would do any one they really considered a rube with no credibility and no power.

That’s why the anti-Palin stuff always fails, not because she in unattackable, she is attachable. I think it’s pretty obvious how, but I’m certainly not going to tell them.

It fails because when they try to paint her as irrelevant you can see their palpable fear of her shining through. People without Sullivan’s syndrome can see it and know when they are lying through their teeth.

Presuming some great mistake isn’t make, if Palin is defeated it will be by guys like Jammal who recognize her for what she is and try to counter the argument.

Ann Althouse confirms diagnoisis

You know I’ve given up on Andrew Sullivan except for the occasional tease, it is a shame because he is a good writer and once was, well sane.

I presume that Ann Althouse must know him personally, because only someone who likes you personally would care enough to bother to write this critique.

Third, if you want to talk crazy, how crazy is it to want so badly to paint Sarah Palin as crazy? She is your political opponent, Andrew, and you don’t think she’s good enough for high office. It’s not so dramatic. It’s utterly banal. Ironically, Palin draws energy from your overheated hatred. Have you heard she’s about to make $100 million?

Ann you’re a fine woman but you it doesn’t matter, Sullivan’s Syndrome can’t be cured by a single essay if that was so the truthers and the Obama birthers would have been converted long ago.

And I never congratulated you either, may you and your husband be very happy together for many years.
