David Brock says he will fuck Fox's ass up.
The liberal group Media Matters has quietly transformed itself in preparation for what its founder, David Brock, described in an interview as an all-out campaign of “guerrilla warfare and sabotage” aimed at the Fox News Channel.
And good for him! Fox could stand a bit of guerrila warfare and sabotage; at any rate, as blatantly partisan as Fox is, and as well-heeled as Daddy Murdoch is, you’d hardly suppose Fox’s friends would have much to bitch about upon being told that they’ll have done to them what they do unto others.
But ducks gotta quack, dogs gotta sniff butt, and wingnuts must whine. Ed Morrisey explains why upon hearing this news he cried inside and died a million deaths, he must have wept for hours:
… MMFA isn’t just pledging to be a “watchdog.” They’re promising “sabotage,” which sounds less like investigative journalism and more like dirty tricks, aimed not at the reporting itself but at mid-level management at Fox. If that consists of the same kind of undercover videos produced by James O’Keefe at ACORN and NPR, that’s fair game; the media have used stings like those for decades. That’s hardly “sabotage,” though, which sounds like efforts at a completely different — and more base — level.
Which is wonderfully berserk. Though if you’re the kind of loon who thinks James O’Keefe is not up to “dirty tricks,” I guess you’re probably just goofy enough to believe Fox commits “journalism.” Fox already is the “base level.”
But that’s just the top of the Fox-friends monkey barrel. Scraping the bottom, where the flung feces settle, we discover this class of thing:
I put chinballs on Bill Maher in 15 minutes. That does more damage to Maher than all the fairy sniping from Brock or Boehlert combined. Will some deep pocket conservative pull together 90 of the most brilliant conservative creatives, pay them a living wage, and we could BURY the left.
Chief, even Jim frickin’ Hoft got in on some wingnut welfare. Sounds like this li’l fellow just isn’t letting the right balls touch his chin.
Besides, the whole point is that Fox is already emptying far more than 90 brilliant conservatives who aren’t doing anything much more clever than doodling chinballs and gay-baiting (Brock is doing “fairy sniping”). It’s comical to witness sniveling about how chinballing is undervalued on the free wingnut market, but that hardly means this market doesn’t exist, or isn’t as pernicious as it is demented.

SaTHERSday Night Fever!
90 of the most brilliant conservative creatives
That statement contains more inherent contradictions and counterfactuals than a sane mind can contemplate without rolling on the floor howling with laughter.
THERS!
Wingnuts are great at playing the victim card. It’s the only one they have.
Why are these guys obsessed with balls? Is it just me or was that entire “chin-balling” rant incoherent?
THERS!
It also diverts attention away from the fact that they are the ones victimizing others.
Whilst shall they find 90 of ‘em…? I could probably scrape together a half dozen or so…! ;-)
Aloha, Thers…! Another awesome post…! *g*
What do you call nuts on a wall? Walnuts!
What do you call nuts on a chest? Chestnuts!
What do you call nuts on a wing? Wingnuts!
What do you call nuts on a chin? Wingnut heaven!
i figure every thing they accuse others of doing is actually what they are themselves doing… its like they think saying someone else is doing something nefarious cancels out any responsibility for their nefarious actions.
Even one would stretch the bounds of credulity.
Fair ‘nuf…! ;-)
Yep, something else they are good at. Accusing the left of playing dirty while they themselves are ignoring court orders, calling the left un-American while they themselves are passing clearly extra-Constitutional legislation, badmouthing LGBT people while they practice their wide stances and go on trips with rent boys, talking about the sanctity of marriage while they are hiking the Appalachian Trail, (in Buenos Aires), ripping on Democrats for “flip-flopping” while taking any position at all, depending on circumstances and present audience…..the list goes on and on. And they get away with it. All of it.
Projection is their greatest talent.
All things are possible with a compliant and subservient press.
its like that fair and balanced bullshit — if they claim we are doing something then it turns out they were the ones doing it, it is somehow balanced with a ‘both sides do it’ based on their false accusation and nothing happens.
The link is broken (it has http://http://). Just a heads up. Also, the 1000+ comments at Politico consist of 90% blathering dittohead idiots defending the “balanced” news at Fox. Just another heads up.
Balls.
which link sloopy — i’ll go in and fix it
Bingo.
Sad, no…? 8-(
i figured it out… the politico link is now fixed
thanks for the heads up
The one to Politico. “He will fuck Fox’s ass up” or whatever. The link’s right, it’s just that there are two http://'s in it, which makes it not work (’til you delete one of the http://'s).
Or a lapdog press. Yeah, I’m hep.
No EDP tonight, sadly. I was going to tell him that I have officially joined him in the Legions of Evil.
tis fixed and thanks :)
No problem. I feel as though I have contributed something and am now a productive member of society, rather than some guy with two dogs and a blanket.
Pretty much time to expire. Been up since before way too early. Flash from the past…
Duct tape does it every time…
Hmmm. Seem to have gotten caught in the spam filters.
I’ve decided.
I’m the decider in my house, and I’ve decided that the best thing to say about Fox and the thing that will get to them the most is simple.
They are inferior and have an inferior product!
We are on late nite now, right?
In other words, they have the smallest dick in the sector. ;-)
While you’re at it, M’dear, check out what I’ve got on tap for tomorrow nite…! *g*
duct tape or wd40 — usually one or the other
i checked and there is nothing caught in spam dr dick
Baling wire is also good.
Nite, Shoto. Rest up cause there will be plenty of Sunday Bobblehead blather to sift through in the morning.
DICK Morris?
I have a wonderful wd40 story! Maybe I’ll share it in LLN tonight…
oh dear.. yes there was… i’m trying to do too many things at once.. freed it dr dick (it was hidden in a dark corner)
Hmmm. Twice now I have tried to post something with a a link and it has disappeared.
LOL! I keep thinking of that giant remote control dick suit in the Michael Moore movie.
Thanks. You can delete the duplicate post that is apparently also clogging the drains.
i found and freed the first one… the duplicate i’ll leave be
The NSA has ya number, Dr. D…! Speed dial even…! ;-)
whatcha drinking dr dick — you beat me by seconds…
Check out mine at 22 and you will see why.
A nice Irish on the rocks would go down smoothly.
sliding some jamesons on ice down the bar to ya dr dick
Sláinte!
*heh* Bagged and Tagged, alongside TBogg, not too shabby, Doc…! ;-)
I’m here. I was spending some quality time with GoodMrsPuma, so I’m running late tonight.
Welcome to the Hordes of Darkness!
And to CT at 47
It is a rare honor indeed and with such distinguished company. Must have gotten under The Donalde’s skin. Usually he does not even respond to me in the threads where he is trolling.
I’m really tired, but did I read that as The Donald was putting you into a group of so, so, socialists?
That from a man that claims biz bankruptsy when the wind blows the wrong way and turns his head pet upside down?
No, that is The Donald (Trump). This is The Donalde (Douglas), a wingnut professor of political science at Long Beach CC and prolific, if totally deranged, troll at several lefty sites, including Ther’s.
Fair’s fair. I’ve got him categorized in the group of bad to, to, toupee wearers.
Gotcha!
My bud, Thers had a bad episode with trolls a few years back. You’d think they would have learned by now.
Oh boy, if there was ever a misnomer it has to be “political science”. It’s as bad as “Christian science”.
Heh! That’s figgy.
Not that bad. There is actually some pretty good stuff out there in the field on a number of topics. Of course I am also a social scientist, so I am biased that way.
That is even figgier. A repuke using science! Only as a name, mind you, but using it nevertheless.
But since “science” must be testable, predictable and reproducible, do politics really count as “science”? Social science I can see but politics are much more chaotic.
Then you can help me put together a pocket manifesto for upcoming Dem Congresscritters!
They need a script that is put upon them. One they can’t forget and one that is always close by so it won’t be excused. We have to have our version of the teaparty, but in a sane version.
If econonomics is the ‘dismal science,’ polisci is positively grim.
Political science studies political behavior, it does not practice politics. Most of the modeling that underlies the work Nate Silver and others do in predicting election outcomes (as well as interpreting the results) comes out of political science. They also look at a wide array of other topics from both quantitative and qualitative perspectives. Most of the stuff I read deals with the political aspects of race and ethnicity.
Well you guys have bigger degrees than me so I bow to your (credentialed) wisdom. :)
I guess I’ve never been good at squishy science. Give me some solid data to collect and interpret and I’m in heaven. (Plus I’d have a job)
I’d like to hear a political scientist explain the teahadist party.
They do not listen to those of us who have actually studied the issues, especially if we are on the left. Seen Obama pay any attention to Krugman lately? And Krugman has a Nobel Prize.
Is he more fun than the average FDL troll? (Not so hard. A date with Peggy Noonan is more fun than the average FDL troll.) If so, could you lure him over here?
Heh. My race and ethnicity class, while quite popular, has been called by several students, the most depressing class they ever took.
Bigger degrees = More in the Dark.
Yeah, but so does Obama, so he figures he must be as good an economist as Krugman.
Logic? This is the Beltway, baby. Where logic fell into the Potomac and drowned.
I know, but future critters may wish to listen or not get the votes.
B.S. = Bullshit
M.S. = More Shit
Ph.D. = Piled Higher and Deeper
A lot of them have. The proprietors over at LGM are mostly PoliSci and have discussed them on several occasions. The Teahadists are not really all that complicated or difficult to understand.
M.D. = mega dung?
I know from experience.
Libetarians on steroids?
Not really. He used to be a bit more entertaining than the average FDL troll, but he has gotten increasingly deranged of late. We were having great fun thrashing Althouse’s bitter half, Meade, until the management banned him.
The Farce can have a strong influence on the weak-minded.
Sort of (i.e., amoral greedy fucks who hate to share). Also mostly older depigmented folks afraid of losing their white privilege as the country becomes ever browner.
Ya know, there’s already about the most ‘creative’ conservative minds on the Koch/Rupert/GE payroll — Tucker, Orally, Breaitbart, Barista Dude. And I don’t think we can get a word in edgewise as it is. So why would the Money Boyz invest in another 90 righties to bleat at America? Seems like they are getting everything they need with the investment they are making now.
Time for me to toddle off.
Nite! Trying to stay up to catch Suzanne. I usually drift off before she gets here.
Night DrD. Think I will too. Oya.
What else are they going to spend all that ill-earned money on–making the world a better place?
g’nite dr dick and margaret
G’night.
Nite, Margaret. Be ready for the figgest of Sunday’s.
i’ve got a great toon on tap for tonight pparty
Just logging on — missed everything today. Slept until 2:00 p.m. and felt so rested. MrCE and I went to see the movie “Eagle” at the cheap movie. It looked great on the big screen. Romans in Britain — I’m looking forward to more study, Hey Ruth in Bath!
Good! I’m trying to keep the eyelids propped up.
I hate it that I miss your times, but ya know I’m getting older.
Since I don’t have a real job now, if I only had some money I’d go on jaunts with Ruth. She’s invited me several times. Sigh, too young to get the SS and too old to get a job.
Man! I’m screwed.
aint we all :) i found getting rid of alarm clocks and sleeping in until the crack of noon helps
LOL! I could try that. Heck, I’d only see one version of the nooze topic of the day instead of the re-rolls until noon. ;-) *G*
At least you are still here with us. I have been sick for a month. The cheap movie is our refuge ($1.50 , or $2.00 on Saturday nights).
Sorry you have been sick, but glad you are getting back. I definitely understand about the refuge. We don’t go out at all now. I am pinching pennies and trying to do without anything corporate other than the net and the tv.
Suzanne!
How much longer? I’m fading fast.
20 minutes pparty…. can ya do some jumping jacks or something to keep ya going?
Well it’s alright now, in fact it’s a gas!
I rewatched another DFH this evening. It was John Mellencamp at the FarmAid 25 concert.
His music and lyrics still get me.
classical even
Oh yeah! Acoustic! Wish there were more of that today. Love that acoustic sound.
john mellencamp authority song
john
Ah, yeah. I was listening to that and others and didn’t put the link in.
Mentally Defective.
