But anyway I don’t mean to repeat myself, even if (1) I’m lazy enough for that to be an attractive option, and (2) I do so very much enjoy saying the word "fuck," or the phrase "fuck fuck fuckitty fuckburger sammich with special fuck sauce and a side of fuck." No. Rather, I want to share with you some of the comments from the Moonie Times thread that followed this piece of Pulitzer-worthy journalism (the guy used Google! He’s a genius!). See if you can spot anything resembling, say, a trend, in these specimens:
1. My 7th grade teacher heard me say something that was more than a bit out of line. She asked me why I said it and the usual 7th grade answer came out, " I don’t know, I just did.". She said, I do know. It is because you have a very small vocabulary. It shows how little you are thinking and how little you care about what others think of you.
2. Profanity is the refuge of the intellectually maladroit.
3. Yeah, I have to chime in and say pretty much the same thing—the left cannot win their arguments with facts or logic so they invariably resort to insults, ad hominem attacks, political correctness fear-mongering, or just plain profanity. Exactly the kind of government you get in leftist regimes around the world—repressive, insulting,fear-inducing,unfair, and tyrannical.
4. You have simply answered the question that conservatives have known for years. Liberals live in frustration, suffer inarticulate lives and depend upon the press to speak and fend for them. No, I am not a learned person and certainly do not possess the vocabulary of a Buckley. I do however have an open mind to continued learning, I read and I can form my own opinions because of my reading and limited education.
5. Definition: Liberals: Those who resort to name-calling and profanity when they cannot win an argument with logical and coherent thought.
6. [Last one, I promise] Profanity is a sign of lack of self-discipline.
It is a sign of imprecise thinking.It’s no surprise that liberals use it more.
Can you spot it? I’m sure you can! Yes you can! All of these open-minded articulate geniuses are saying exactly the same thing!
OK. And now, for the punchline, one final comment:
Left-wing blogs see more activity because liberals feel the need to form communities (echo chambers, really) where they can constantly shore up their bankrupt ideas. Conservatives are more individualist and self-assured in our beliefs.
I love Greater Wingnuttia. That’s one circus where the clown car never ever gets empty.

Thers!
Fuck!
And a new morning zed as well?
Hard to type, laughing too much at the gooper clown car..from the masters of cookie-cutter conformity and submission.
oh fuck that shit.
i’m tired to death of wingnutia telling me how we are and how we should be. at least we’re not torture loving stalkers and liars and knuckle draggers. they can ALL STFU now!
sorry,
i’m serious. that just pushed a button.
:)
pax
Great clip, but, ummm …. what does it have to do with the post?
I’ve noticed that one characteristic we humans all seem to share, the ability to detect hypocrisy… in others.
damn hypocrite!
What? Is that person saying that the more education one has the less they are able to form their “own opinions”? I don’t know. Sounds like gibberish.
That’s somewhat hypocritical, I think. :)
gibberish or snark. sometimes it is hard to tell the difference.
Gee, I seem to remember some pretty intense dustups here at the Lake over all kinds of things.
The reichwing blog commenters, otoh, seem obsessed with seeing who can be the wingnuttiest on any given talking point.
As far as profanity is concerned I think “You’re a fuckin’ moron” is much more expressive than “You’re a moron.” Are ya listenin’, Broder?
Those facisti need to just grow the fuck up. Seriously, this coming from a paper owned by the guy who thinks he’s jesus fucking christ?
Fuck’em.
I don’t know how many times I’ve criticized some type of behavior only to catch myself doing something remarkably similar minutes (or seconds) later. The best think of course, is to resist sweeping generalizations (such as this one).
Gagne d’hostie de mongol à batterie…
These morally corrupt twitts believe in killing all the brown folks, but, can’t handle a good, well placed fuck…
LOL
We all do that. All the time. All of us. *g*
Profanity is the refuge of the intellectually maladroit.
Bullshit. The proper usage of profanity is an art form.
Siri @5 – pushed a button here too. Conjured a vision of the Ultimate-In-Clueless, George W., hissown damned stupid self, leaning over the podium to give that condescending smirk of his while he “explains” his simple thoughts and shallow understanding of issues to the rest of us poor ‘uninformed’ citizens.
Being looked down on by delusional idiots who are *sure* that they are smarter and superior to me is one sure way to piss this normally calm, easy-going fucking DFH right the fuck off and over the motherfucking edge.
Meanwhile, Broder, disguised as a toilet bowl, is busy gathering valuable bits of information
that’s what I’m talkin bout! WTG Jo!
The “elitist” label the right loves to throw around is actually code for “intellectual.” Sentience spooks the conservative herd. As Obama pointed out recently, “-these guys take pride in being ignorant.”
You know these guys use fuck every other word when they’re talkin’ to their chimpmates.
yeah! jayt.
hehe
i love the folks on this site.
your comments on any given post, jay, are one’s i look for and read, always relevant, always to the point and provocative.
tanks!
see? i think you CAN sometimes be more colorful without saying shit and fuck all the time. but i defend the right of any who want to!
brings to mind my FIRST thoughts on the Edwards affair,
“at least it was a woman!”
sheeeeeesh, restoring integrity and decency my arse.
thank you.
I think I like “Commander-In-Clueless” better…
It’s hard to laugh and go ewwwww at the same time.
Yeah, I seem to recall Bill O’Reilly getting thrown out of a restaurant in Harlem for yelling, “Bring me some motherfucking ice-tea!” Of course, to hear him tell it, it all went down a little differently.
IIRC, their sainted fucking hero El Tricko Dicko was no shrinking violet when it came to being profane, intellectually bankrupt (see, “the Clean Air Act”), and able to commit the occasional felonious act not involving Fellatio (that we know of) in the Oval Office.
My god, he employed Kissinger, and that was an obscenity right there, no foreplay or fucking involved.
Not to mention his Satanic Majesty, Dick Cheney telling Pat Leahy to go fuck himself. They did a great spoof on Family Guy, Dick Cheney as a Walmart greeter… “Go fuck yourself… Go fuck yourself… Go fuck yourself.”
There’s a time and a place, and a restaurant ain’t one of ‘em.
Billo’s ego, which he hauls around in a dump truck, needs constant reenforcement. I would imagine wherever he goes everybody is made aware of his presence. Perfect candidate for a pasta sauce lap dump.
“Balls” said the Queen, “if I had to I could be King”
Don’t forget the obligatory falafel.
Maybe it comes down to the fact that they’re not bright enough to know how to construct sentences with various off-colour adjectives, nouns or verbs.
Nor is an international meeting of heads of state when you think the mic is off
You speak for me.
Really, who gives a fuck what some idiot thinks about my choice of words when they think torture’s OK? or that it’s OK to lie us into a war?
Not only OK but the right thing to do! WTF!
Word.
In today’s world there’s no such thing as an off-mic anymore. Everybody in the place has cell phone that does everything but wipe yer ass.
I always thought the “F” in DFH stooking for “F**king”. Now I find it stands for foulmouthed. I’ll have to change all my business cards.
Boxturtle (My first thought for a song here was “Pretzel Logic”)
And from “Inherit the Wind” when challenged about his language, Drummond says
“there are so damned few words in the English language that everyone understands, we need to use them all”
or something to that effect. I could go look it up but we’d be on to the next post by the time I found it.
Works for me.
Oh and a reminder for those who might have forgot—or an invitation for those who don’t know.
BBQ Chez Rev. on Sat. Aug. 30 in the burbs outside Philly and just north of DE. We’ll celebrate John McThuselah’s 72nd birthday a day late and a dollar short. Elliot, Millinaryman, Scarecrow and others will be in attendance. All are invited. Contact me at my screen name at mac dot com for more info.
About a 2 hour drive from the DC area, 45 min. from Philly. Trains nearby and we can pick you up from stations.
Rain date Sunday Aug. 31.
What of the fact that people who comment at conservative blogs are more likely to condone or threaten to commit acts of violence?
and just what necessitates using this sort of feckery, you suppose, 750,000 words in the most pliable language available, and you can’t think of the fecking right one. eejits! /s
their sainted fucking hero El Tricko Dicko was no shrinking violet when it came to being profane…and able to commit the occasional felonious act not involving Fellatio (that we know of) in the Oval Office.
hard to imagine any unpaid-for sex in that particular Oval Office…
My god, he employed Kissinger, and that was an obscenity right there
Henry The Terrible was on the teevee just this morning, sitting right behind Junior watching the U.S. vs. China basketball game. If Henry is there to give Georgie advice on how to behave in China, he might have started by leaning down to Boosh to say “Mr. president, there are cameras everywhere, the Premier of China is sitting right next to you – maybe you should uncross your legs, quit slouching, get that irritated look off your face, and maybe even speak a little to the Premier.”
The fucking president of the united States is at the Olympics, and evidently his only role is to perform as The Ugly American Spectator. Fer chrissakes, at the Opening Ceremonies, he was sitting next to Putin – maybe they might have exchanged a few words about the goddamned WAR with Georgia? Nah – too busy with other stuff. “Jesus Christ, Laura Belle, lookee there – wonder how they did *that*?” “Pretty amazing for *****, don’t ya think?”
[mod note: edited for racial slur]
There’s another area that the right wingers get all enraged about. Proper attire. We just had a meeting at work and the wingnuttiest person there stood to ask if we could institute a dress code. Not that it’s a free for all but apparently something someone wore offended her (I think it was thong sandals). The problem was that the longer she spoke and gestured, the more her blouse drooped and more and more cleavage was exposed. But, hey, at least her toes were covered.
Got stuff to do. Later.
Namaste
thers – love, love, love the spanish inquisition. but when the topic is fuck, and you want to some monty python type humor…. how about some eric idle? (youtube uncensored version of “fuck the fcc“)
And in the evening she dons her leather outfit and fishnet stockings, gets her whip and she and hubby enjoy the evening.
*****,
sorry.
That wacko sect in west Texas is now making and selling their outfits. Would that be an apropriate uniform.
Hey I was thinking the same thing. They’re fine with being all out and upfront about torture, violence, stalking children (liberal children that is), but when it comes to sexuality or colorful language, hold it! That’s baaad.
Sounds as if she is jealous ’cause all the guys are looking at someone else. Please, a dress code due to too much showing at work – that’s high school stuff.
Out and upfront?
First thing in the morning and people are already talking about clown cars. Geez.
:)
I work in a HS with a dress code for teacher that IS enforced, and one for students that really isn’t.
Conservatives expressed more outrage about Janet Jackson’s wardrobe malfunction than about the entire invasion/occupation of Iraq, torture of detainees, etc..
new post upstairs.
that would be bustedknuckles at ornery bastard. me? i’m one of the fucking frustrated and inarticulate lefties. *g*
of course. makes perfect sense in this nutty world. I can understand that teachers shouldn’t look too sexy and wear revealing clothing. Students need a dress code, I think, because there could be problems otherwise. But at work, where everyone is an adult – that’s kinda silly to be worried about someone cleavage.
First thing in the morning and people are already talking about clown cars. Geez.
Was wondering when you’d show up. We’ve had the
BatClown-Signal out for a while now… *g*1) I read in Harper’s Index once that 2/3 of Americans use the word “fuck”. It makes sense that the right-wing would curse less in public because the right is to two-faced hypocrisy what Dick Cheney is to shooting you in the fucking face.
2) The popup ads on the Washington Times make me want to call Rev. Moon a brokedick motherfucker.
That article is a stitch, but the comments are priceless. The Wapo draws hundreds of comments to everything, this thing got 23 as of a moment ago.
that’s kinda silly to be worried about someone cleavage.
IFO, here. (”In Favor Of”)
There isn’t any rule against ending an acronym with a preposition, is there?
Prepositions are fine with me. The woman who was having a fit probably is as flat as a plank. What she needs is not a dress code but implants.
more fucks, please!
I had a lengthy email conversation with a conservative who ragged on me for limiting my news-reading to just sources that I already agreed with (Not true, I get the local paper in Philly, a conservative paper and occasionally follow links to read what the other guys say in their original setting). I noted that near the end of our communication, he asked me (In a tone of triumph, as though he had trapped me) “Why was it that everybody thought that Saddam had WMD?” I copied and pasted the last few words into Google and found a lengthy blog post that trashed that talking point, but good! He obviously hadn’t heard about the many, many people who disagreed with that conclusion. Gee, I wonder if he was, um, projecting a bit?!?!?
I was especially amused by his contention that we liberals all thought alike and in lockstep, so I repeated the old Will Rogers line at him: Lady asks “Do you belong to an organized political party?” “Why heck no, ma’am, I’m a Democrat!”
Yeah, I feel them. One of the things I’ve taken great comfort in throughout the profoundly miserable fucking primary season recently past is the way that the left hung together in a comforting hugfest of complete motherfucking conformity.
Shorter Washington Times: No, it’s good that we don’t like our candidate.
more fucks, please!
Context is everything. *g*
As is, it could be a three-word description of my social life. heh.
Actually when the wing-nuts disagree with you, their idea of the ultimate insult is to accuse you of homosexuality. Everyone from Ann Coulter to Bill-O to the right-wing hoi polloi think that is the worst of the worst. They are totally hung on gay-ness.
“Conservatives are more individualist and self-assured in our beliefs.”
Fuck. More dogma. It’s astounding it its arrogance, pomposity, and complete lack of pulchritude in their reasoning.
Well, I hate to be the party pooper, but frankly I don’t think curse words, swearing, etc. adds anything of substance to any argument, right or left. When I see a post with a lot of four letter words, I often skim it, on the chance that there might be some gold nugget among the sludge, but I’m usually disappointed. I’m not saying don’t do it; I am saying that such language is unpersuasive and off-putting. Whether from right or left.
Bob in HI
Thank you for that helpful reminder, Miss Manners.
someone should get the clip from nbc’s olympic opening ceremony that cuts to bush flicking the american flag on his knee like pencil, and use it to illustrate the man’s dispect for america.
Define swear words did we cause the Star report and investigate Adultery? Did we say what Savage said about Autistic kids being a bunch of fakers. did we say we should kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity?
Talk about angry frustrated have not been right once during the entire Bush Administration.
So we say an obscene word like Shit, Fuck etc we even say it in anger.
Well when listening to Michael Savage or Ann Coulter what do you expect me to say?
I as a Lefty think about Solar power and Healthcare for everyone. I think about making money investing in ideas like that. I think about a better world. I think about getting out of Iraq and getting Ossama.
I don’t invade countries that had nothing to do with 9/11.
I don’t lie about troops coming home and sleeping in the street like O’Reily did. I don’t vote against more funding for the VA or avoid a vote on the Webb GI bill and then say I’m for the troops like McCain did
I don’t blame my problems on immigrants like Lou Dobbs or Glen Beck.
I don’t have Cognitive Dissonance between what I do and what I believe sure I still do wrong things but I have guilt.
I don’t pretend that my wrong things are right.
Just when are we going to get Diaries here again that was a nice bit I just did.
I try and avoid it but sometimes you read something so foul that you almost feel like you stepped in a cow paddy. Other times like his thread it does fit.
Then there is when we get angry and we do have reason to be angry.
Because it removes you from the group identity well their group identity.

This is very good they project their beliefs on everyone they think everyone wants to be them and they project their fears about conformity, homosexuality, being weak on defense notice all the chicken hawk neocons like Bush and Darth who avoided their chance to serve. They fear being to conformist and they fear being outside the group they fear the echo chamber that is the MSM.
They really fear that they are wrong and have been this whole time.
Fuck Bush, Fuck Cheney, Fuck Charlie Daniels and Fuck ANYONE who doesn’t want me saying FUCK.
Fuckin’ ‘pukes
Lets address Liberal bloggers foul language.
Not the Ann Coulter shrillness and ugly accusations based in lies to character assassinate a person or demonize them. Simply because they are not exactly like you.
As there is a difference in the affairs of Edwards and Clinton vs McCain between his 1st wife and Cindy. The cuteness of the right’s presidential candidate offering up his wife to satisfy the lusts of bikers with her performing naked banana acts and maybe a pole dance. As the most faithful of God, John Hagee who supports McCain’s election in Gods name, is soo silent over McCain’s treatment of his beloved wife in the eyes of GOD and Bikers.
Then, cheers from the right in the Senate when “Diaper” Dave Vitter returned to the Senate to (ahem) do the work of his people. But let us not forget Newt. The Ex-Speaker of the House and his affairs while impeaching a president for his and who is held up on right Media as a valored Family valued guy.
The acceptance of the right and the Christian right to allow Mark Foley to check in to a drug abuse program and not a pedophile rehab and jail.
That Larry Craig, a veteran Senator, A lawyer himself. Pleads guilty no contest until it becomes public knowledge. Only then cares to (ahem) clear his good name.
I think most heard the Nixon tapes, where he doesn’t speak highly nor nicely of Fred Thompson let alone others.
Ah, But V.P. Dick Cheney. the ” Dr So ” of dead American troops. Most memorable of ” Dr So ” was his blogger enlightened moment in history from the floor of Congress. Right there on CSPAN for the education of the kiddies learning about its great GOV’T saying, “Fuck You”. Thanks Dick.
One other small thought,
Why is it they call Bloggers “Foul Mouthed” for swearing and when used in the Movie industry it is defined by a regulated manner, namely “Adult Language” ???? Adult Content?
