(Glenn Greenwald, left, prepares to take Ann Althouse to school.)
Well, clearly I need to get out more. When I asked last night whether or not the Talibangelical Christians in the world deserve to be known as "Christians", I had no idea that this discussion had already caught the drapes and burst into flame over at Glenn Greenwald's place.
(Typical. Freaking Greenwald. He's ALWAYS two steps ahead of me.)
See, it was actually (ew!) Andrew Sullivan who started to push the term "Christianist" to describe the people who use the symbols and texts of Christianity to advance their pagan black-magic-anti-sex-cult's agenda, people like Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell. It's like "Islamist", i.e., a person who has taken the tenets of Islam and used them to prop up their fanatical, kill-everyone philosophy with little or no regard for the actual teachings of the prophet Mohammed, much like the Christianists have done with the New Testament.
"Christianists". I'm okay with that, I think. I mean, if it came from Sully's house, I'm going to put it through the washer on 'hot' a couple times and dry it on the highest temperature setting before I'll actually wear it, but if it stands up to that, I'm willing to give it a go.
Especially when it gives certain Reich Wingers such a bad case of the stomp-and-sputters.
Enter cutting edge (*cough!*) legal mind Ann Althouse (snicker), who has taken violent exception to the term. (Apparently, she's gotten tired of shooting digital snaps of the toes of her 9 Wests and the office water cooler in the University of Wisconsin Law Faculty Lounge and has decided to comment on something in the wider world. Which, as we all have learned to expect, invariably results in disaster.)(And hilarity!)
(Via Glenn)
I wonder how many people "recoil" at [Andrew] Sullivan's sanctimonious pronouncements about "Christianists." He's become so devoted to that word of his. Does he not notice how snide and hostile it feels even to people who are not fundamentalists?Ann Althouse, February 21, 2006:
I wonder how the history books would read on the cartoons story if, by some crazy chance, fascistic Islamists win World War IV.Ann Althouse, January 22, 2006:
This isn't meant to appeal to Islamists, who, the article suggests, would find these depictions wrong. But Mutawa has Western leanings (a Ph.D. in clinical psychology and an M.B.A. from Columbia University) and is trying to appeal to kids who feel an attraction to Western culture. Interestingly, Teshkeel has acquired Cracked magazine and plans to bring it back. Not for Arab Muslims, however, for Americans.
Ecccccccccccchhhhh!!
'Scuse me while I take a moment to wipe teh stoopid off my monitor.
There, that's better. Greenwald pretty much mops the floor with Miss Outhouse and her erstwhile mentor, InstaPastehead, using their own words and wafer thin arguments against them.
To wit:
How odd that such "sanctimonious pronouncements" about "Islamists" are everywhere -- including coming out of Althouse's and Reynolds' own mouths -- yet "do[ they] not notice how snide and hostile it feels even to people who are not fundamentalists?" People like Althouse and Reynolds love to complain about the supposed religious hostility which exists towards Christians -- a whine triggered so easily that the mere use of the word "Christianist" is sufficient for us to be subjected to it -- because feeling persecuted is an insatiable need they have.
Oh, Mr. Greenwald, I raise so much hell each night, sweating and spitting as I pull out all the stops in an effort to belabor points that you seem to make without ever wrinkling your suit-jacket. You make it look so effortless. I would hate you if I wasn't so eager to win your approval.
But anyway, as we all know, Rightards will always, always rise to the bait.
InstaPinhead responds with his characteristically incisive wit and terrifyingly adroit mastery of the English language:
WELL, YES. Glenn Greenwald is extraordinarily lame,
Oooh, that's gonna leave a mark.
Not.
That's kind of like Tony Snow calling someone "extraordinarily sleazy". Hey, Greenwald, the guy who wrote Army of Davids says you're "lame", "extraordinarily" so! Oh, I know, you're gonna cry yourself to sleep tonight, aren't you? It's okay. Don't take it so hard.
Althouse, however, squawks like a wet hen, and we looooove it when she gets all heated and starts to melt through her talcum powder:
* Glenn Greenwald is such an idiot.
Uhhh, I'm sorry, Mr. Pot. Mr. Kettle isn't at his desk right now. I'm afraid you'll have to call him black later...
* Am I supposed to respond to this foolishness?
Missy Ann, you silly goose! Two things:
No. 1: You already did.
and
No. 2: The only foolishness I see in Glenn's post about you is your own words held up to the light. And they look pretty goddamn foolish from here.
More from the Outhouse Queen:
Why not take a little trouble to try to understand the person you are criticizing before you write, you disreputable slimeball? (And your writing is putrid.) [But I do love the pathetic jealousy of your post title.]
HAAAAAAAAAAAAA-HAAAAA-HAAAAAA!!
Ann Althouse called somebody else a "disreputable slimeball" who can't write?!
Oh, my...(*wipes eyes*) that's, uh, rather rich, isn't it?
Hoooo-heeeeeeee-heeeee! (*cough*)
For the last time, Ann, get a haircut and a boiler suit so we don't have to keep explaining you to our friends, alright, darling? You are NOT a good blogger. You're NOT (oh, sooooooo not) a clever person, and you are CERTAINLY not a good writer. Your grasp of the language would shame a fourth-grade Christianist home-schooler. You blog like it's 2003 all over again! ("Ooooooh, I just read here that chocolate is good for your heart! I love chocolate! Yay!")(Pffffffffffft.)
Listen, dollface. At your age, you really shouldn't be getting yourself all lathered about stuff you don't understand. It just makes you look silly (and kind of desperate) and it can't be good for your blood pressure. Maybe you should take up a less strenuous hobby like consumer-rating soy supplements and shampoos for color-treated hair.
Of course, I know you won't take my advice, so it's some consolation that you'll keep providing us with hours of fun as you flog dead horse after dead horse, putting up endless posts and re-posts and feverishly adding updates to those posts about your spats with various people who make you feel threatened. They say the beauty of blogging is that anybody can do it, and while I wouldn't argue with that, it should be added that not just anybody can do it well. And that's why you shouldn't try and mix it up with people like Glenn Greenwald (or as I like to call him, "G2"). He's a hell of a lot smarter than you and won't have any problem demonstrating that fact ad infinitum. As fast as you set 'em up, he's going to knock 'em back down, so QUIT WHILE YOU'RE BEHIND, YOU OLD BAG!
Why don't you go and fix yourself a nice hot cup of sugar-free General Foods International Coffee and grade some papers or something? You look like you could use a break.

FITZ!
Came late to the party last night, but wanted to stop by early to say “Thanks, TRex!” It got my morning off to a great start, reading last night’s rant.
Be back later, but got to put The Kid to bed . . . and judging by his mood, that ain’t gonna be easy.
On the subject the subject of millenialist scum, check out this lil American diplomatic tragedy, linked on a few blogs, I think…
http://www.spiegel.de/internat.....50,00.html

European exchange student stuck with wingnuts on his American stay.. returns home to write a tell-all about how insane Americans are…
Hiya TRex… I’m off to read your post but first I wanted to ping you to find out if you had ever read my email and the post I sent you.
Off to go spike up my bourbon with some of your legendary snark.
Jeez. Greenwald wrote a column detailing HER flawed logic(and I use the term loosely with her) and she responded not with counterpoints but with namecalling and personal attacks.
It’s like watching a little kid who has been one-upped in a debate yelling “Oh yeah? Well, you STINK! And you have cooties! WAAAAH!”
if anyone is looking for some real Christians (as opposed to Christianists) they can be found in Lancaster County, PA.
Hey TRex!
A TRex/Althouse cage match!
Where can I buy tickets? Is the popcorn concession taken?
G2…I like it.
Tiny typo in pot/kettle line, afraid.
Um, actually, that’s my job.
Well, I call ‘em Leviiticans. They have apparently only read one book of the Bible, Leviticus, which rules their rather small faithy universe.
TRex!
Merry Christainists to you and all!
I think I’ll have an eggnog….
and i’ve just about finished cleaning up the egg on my face …
looking forward to a happy swim in the Lake tonight…

Fixed! Thanks, eg!

They’ve only read a few verses of Leviticus…you know, the bits they think entitle them to bash gays. “Paulist” is my favorite misnomer.
(Tori Amos, “Mrs. Jesus”)
..hmm.. thought the only book they know anything about is Revelations, which they get via the “Left Behind” books.. if they read Leviticus, they’d have taken themselves and each other to the alter for a little ritual bloodletting a long ago.

The reich-wingers have been pushing the idea for years that Christians are a persecuted minority in this country. It’s amazing that the idea finds any traction but it has been pretty effective (until recently) at getting the dullards to the polls, plus it makes it easier to fleece the flock. I’d laugh if those people didn’t piss me off so much.
OT - Tom Waits performing on the daily show
Mr. Kettle isn’t at his desk right now. I’m afraid you’ll have to call him black later
uh…afraid…I don’t see the correction even after coming in with a fresh screen.
What a great line, a TRex original?
edit–ok now I see it.
Christianism is the only way they can get poor people to vote Republican. If we can prize that lever from their hands, we may be able to make some real changes for the better in this country.
Ah, TRex, you always end my evening with a great read.
And in regard to this:
It’s absolutely true. The orginal (real) Christians faced lions, and crucifiction and burning at the stake. Modern day Christianists don’t feel like they’re “authentic” unless they too are being persecuted. Even if it’s only a figment of their own imaginations.

Nope. Credit for that goes, I think, to my brother.

OT - Judge strikes down part of Bush anti-terror order
I had been arguing for months with my friends that we can’t call them “Christian conservatives” because it’s an oxymoron and its flattering. I proposed calling them “church going conservatives” instead because there was nothing — nothing — Christian about them. However, the term “Christianist” seems to strike a nerve and to be catching on. I’m all for it. We cannot allow these moronic fascists to refer to themselves as “Christians” without calling “bullshit” within nanoseconds.
“Christianist” works especially for situations where it would be too cumbersome to say, “People Who Believe Adam and Eve Rode Dinosaurs to Church”.

Dang, they have too much time on their hands, then. When you’re working, helping with homework, cooking cleaning dishes laundry paying bills fixing car picking kids up putting them to bed buying groceries working sleeping etc….
You just barely have time to be civil to each other, much less loving and Christian and kind, much MUCH less wishing to be ‘persecuted.’
Hey. Maybe that’s the whole thing right there: Life is too hard, being a Christian is just too hard these days, so let’s forget about it and start a fight with someone, anyone else. Yeehaw!
I thought Bill O’Loofah coined the term “Christianist.” Didn’t he win a Peabody Award for it?

That was right after he invented the Internet, wasn’t it?
sonate @ 40
Umm, my problem is in referring to them with any term involving “Christ” as a root. They aren’t in any way Christian, so even “Christianist” is a misnomer.
I really think accuracy is important. Therefore, “batshit fucking insane religious extremists” pretty much covers it for me.

Tell me about it. I currently live a few minutes from State St. Maybe I should get a FDL shirt in case there’s a chance encounter.
These people aren’t Christian. You can’t pray to God to make you personally rich (the latest thing among millenialists, apparently), preach that Katrina victims deserved what they got, say that the poor deserve to starve, advocate for the extermination of Arabs, believe that you can freely commit sin because you’re sufficiently elevated by the goodness of those around you (which they do), and express the belief that you must engage or advocate for war and violent action in the Holy Land as an active strategy for bringing about the second coming… and STILL call yourself a Christian.
They’re not Christian. These were the same religious perverts Luther called called “rabid dogs” and urged the German princes to suppress. They weren’t Christian then, and they’re not Christian now.

OT:
And now a word from the first “Mission Accomplished”:
And now another word:
churl @ 11
The cherry-picking world of Levitican Christinists. They do love them the very brief anti-gay verse.
If these folks really believed that every word of Leviticus was a directive from God, they’d have to stone the likes of, say, John McCain or Rudy Guiliani or Newt Gingrich for adultery.
Southerners in particular (I were one, before I fled to the Left Coast) love their pork ribs and bacon and ham. Naughty, naughty. Also, creatures that move in the water without fins or scales must be held in abomination. No shrimp, crab, scallops, lobster.
Are all you guys staying way away from menstruating women? That includes touching so much as a chair she may have sat on. Come close and you’ll be unclean and untouchable for a week.
Oh, and if Leviticans noted the amount of space in Leviticus (rather most of it) devoted to such matters, they’d be spending practically all their time seeking out unblemished bullocks, she-goats, rams, and the occasional unblemished sheep for the ritual sacrifices. And they mustn’t forget the intricacies of those rituals, which would require much study and practice.
Hardly any time left, really, for Nascar and football and shopping and . . . well, for fun.
And not a lot of concern in Leviticus for the poor, the sick, the suffering, the orphans, the love of neighbor, the bringing of peace to the world.
But there is some of that. Far more than there is of anti-gay haranging. Far more of just about any topic than the one Levitican Christianists are obsessed with.
truth and clarity. so simple. so effective. they really hate it when we do that. keep it up.
This is seriously OT, but Jim Webb defied G. Bush at the White House reception for new senators, in Wednesday’s WaPo:
“At a recent White House reception for freshman members of Congress, Virginia’s newest senator tried to avoid President Bush. Democrat James Webb declined to stand in a presidential receiving line or to have his picture taken with the man he had often criticized on the stump this fall. But it wasn’t long before Bush found him.
“How’s your boy?” Bush asked, referring to Webb’s son, a Marine serving in Iraq.
“I’d like to get them out of Iraq, Mr. President,” Webb responded, echoing a campaign theme.
“That’s not what I asked you,” Bush said. “How’s your boy?”
“That’s between me and my boy, Mr. President,” Webb said coldly, ending the conversation on the State Floor of the East Wing of the White House.”
Wesley Clark wants to avoid ‘04 mistake in ‘08
“I think it was clear that I got in too late last time,” the retired general and former NATO commander told The Associated Press in an interview.
“That’s between me and my boy, Mr. President,” Webb said coldly, ending the conversation on the State Floor of the East Wing of the White House.”
That was done so much better than Cheney’s “fuck off” to Leahy.
Michael Ventura was calling them Christianists in the LA Weekly at least 25 years ago (when I moved out here).
I think we should go with Christian-ish (with appropriately waffle-y hand gestures).
twolf1 @ 64
Sounds exciting, although in that article he says he wouldn’t be bringing troops home from Iraq anytime soon. Guess he won’t be getting Michael Moore’s endorsement this time…

Bush is going to be battered by these Webb moments from now on in.
He deserves to be uncomfortable until the day he slinks from office in ignominy.

This all sounds very familiar from the last (and still only) time I clicked on Althouse’s blog: She invented some controversey about a blogger who supposedly was poking her boobies at the camera at the Bill Clinton blogger meeting. After she started it, then carried on for two days, she with all apparent sincerity put up a “why are people talking to me about some woman’s breasts” post.
Interesting that here she brings up “jealousy” out of nowhere….
Is this woman really a law professor at UW? As a Big Ten Alumnus, I blush, so much so that I pass on the opportunity to take a shot at Cheezeheds, Packer fans, and Brett Favre.

Good for Webb. Any goddamned bully can put on a fake-friendly show. That doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be called on it.

twolf1 @ 73
Ha! First Falafelists, and now this….get some butter, you’re on a roll!
This is way OT but it relates to how Sen Webb’s son might be doing in Iraq. Steve Gilliard has a post about how wounded American soldiers aren’t being evac’d because it is too dangerous or that KBR contracts for EMT or Fire fighting prohibit going to where it might not be safe. The bottom line seems to be, if you are wounded you are SOL.stevegilliard.blogspot.com/

It’s a good story, sounds like W. was looking for a confrontation though, since Webb had tactfully avoided him most of the night.
The dumba$$ W doesn’t know when he is in over his head.

one or two? you got off easy. I was referring to her apparent stupidity. Richard Posner, who considers the Constitution a suicide pact, is obviously just as crazy, but not as obviously stupid.
UptownNYChick @ 86
I’m not so sure. This strikes me as possibly being classic bully behavior: make a fake display of friendliness, hoping that the victim will prefer to be a fake friend than a real enemy. Since that clearly didn’t work, I expect to see the passive-aggressive routine start up if Bush interacts with Webb in the future.
Dr Puma
Ever read Richard Russo’s “Straight Man”? I read that in grad school and felt like he had a mole in our department, except his alcholic was more benevolent than ours.
EvilDrPuma @ 88
Maybe.
I wonder if W. is this testy with all the families of soldiers he has to deal with (I know the dozens he may have actually come in contact with).
Not to be a downer, but my heart is in pain…BBC today, where US tanks in Ramadi return fire on gunshots from rooftop. FIVE LITTLE GIRLS FOUND DEAD IN THE RESULTING RUBBLE:
“The youngest female casualty was six-months-old and the eldest was aged 10.”
As the father of three girls in that age range, please, this has to stop NOW. These girls were killed in our name with our tax dollars. And just five of thousands now. PLEASE Dems in ‘07, no more talk…only action. God dammit!
In YOUR name with YOUR tax dollars.
I still prefer Christist. I think it has more bite.
But maybe the “istist” looks too much like a pasting typo.
So Christianist it is!
EvilDrPuma @ 88
I expect to see Bush run like a punk at the sight of Webb. Classic bully behavior is to push and push until pushed back and then cry foul. Webb obviously has it all over W in terms of real grit.
I find Webb one of the most interesting characters of this election cycle. Ordinarily he would be a card carrying, gun-toting, conservative who would fall in direct line with Republican thinking. Now, that’s certainly a disservice to the man who has shown two things to be glaringly obvious. One, he is a man who makes up his own mind and doesn’t have a problem with speaking it; and, man, I love that! Two, he shows how very far the obsequious imbeciles in the Republican mainstream have removed themselves from their own conservative base…not the fundies…just people who generally put business ahead of social concerns.
I ordinarily wouldn’t cheer for someone like Webb; but idiotic Presidents make for strange bedfellows.
Sounds to me Dear Leader was gunning for a fight. Perhaps Rover or another staffer told him that the son at war was a testy issue for Webb, and to see if he could provoke an unsenatorial response from the senator-elect. I wouldn’t put it past the thugs in the WH to do something like that.. a picture of Webb openly losing his temper and shouting or slapping the president would’ve played well for the rethug base.. in which case, Webb carried himself very well here.
TRex, if I read between the lines I can discern a slight lack of respect and little bit of hostility towards a certain bloggist.
