Right-Wing Journalist Crafts Heroic Spin To Prove He Is Not A Loser (He Is)

by Kirsten Boyd Johnson  

He does not even deserve a stupid James O'Keefe pimp hat.American Spectator assistant editor Patrick Howley is busy making himself famous on the Internet today as the kind of right-wing village idiot who shows up to “do a jernalizm” on one of these Washington, D.C. protest thingamaboobers and inadvertently ends up getting himself pepper sprayed by a security guard while running an improvised one-man mission to storm the Air and Space Museum, because he is inept. But this simply will not do, for his super-scoop conservative news break about how lefty protesters are awful, so Howley’s version of the antiwar march organized by the group October 11 instead claims that he “infiltrated” the protesters (by showing up), who are by the way a bunch of tools who don’t know how to act like violent idiots unless Patrick Howley is there To Show How It’s Done.

Here he is bragging about being the sole moron to burst into the Air and Space Museum as he was staggering around with swollen eyeballs:

From estimates within the protest, only ten people were pepper-sprayed, and as far as I could tell I was the only one who got inside the museum.

In the absence of ideological uniformity, these protesters have no political power. Their only chance, as I saw it, was to push the envelope and go bold. But, if today’s demonstration was any indicator, they don’t have what it takes to even do that.

Lesson: protesters are chicken shit if they do not invade…museums.

As I scrambled away from the scene of my crime, a police officer outside the museum gates pointed at my eyes, puffed out his chest, and shouted: “Yeah, that’s right. That’s right.” He was proud that I had been pepper-sprayed, and, oddly, so was I. I deserved to get a face full of high-grade pepper, and the guards who sprayed me acted with more courage than I saw from any of the protesters. If you’re looking for something to commend these days in America, start with those guards.

Lesson: chicken shit fake reporters who justify their jackass antics with absurd calls for MOAR VIOLENCE deserve to be maced. We’ll give him that last one! [WaPo/American Spectator]

This macho dude needs to spend some time in Afghanistan getting sprayed by something more metallic than pepper.

V572-⁂½‡‡‡‡‡ October 10, 2011 at 4:20 pm

How about several banana-clips of AK-47 rounds, to start?

nounverb911 October 10, 2011 at 4:22 pm

Spent uranium shells from an A-10 Warthog would be more effective.

V572-⁂½‡‡‡‡‡ October 10, 2011 at 4:24 pm

This makes you almost miss Neilist, who'd know the part number and how many rounds per clip, etc. Almost. You can get depleted uranium rifle ammo too, one hears.

GunToting[Redacted] October 10, 2011 at 4:53 pm

Funny story… The GAU-8 Avenger which can fire between 2100 and 4200 rounds/second is actually installed off-center in the A10. The barrel currently firing is directly in the centerline of the aircraft, otherwise the plane could be pushed off course by the recoil. They also had to install a vibration unit to destabilize the gun due to its accuracy. If not for this, a stationary gun would effectively become a drill, with each successive round impacting the exact same spot. The scatter effect causes more damage than an accurate pass.

GE. We bring terrifying things to life.

PalinzADummy October 10, 2011 at 8:22 pm

Almost. Just ain't good enough, though.

Aw, I lurves the Butthole Surfers for their musical tribute to my all-time hero!

CapnFatback October 10, 2011 at 4:17 pm

I call bullshit. What kind of right-winger would be caught dead within fifty yards of a museum?

GhostBuggy October 10, 2011 at 5:25 pm

Well, the A&S Museum has nuclear missiles right there in the lobby. I'm sure Cons make pilgrimages there, boners a-ragin'.

imissopus October 10, 2011 at 5:28 pm

The Air and Space has all sorts of jingoistic shit you can salute: the Spirit of St. Louis, Apollo capsules, fighter jets. That and the creationist museum in Kentucky are the only ones the teatards find acceptable.

SorosBot October 10, 2011 at 7:38 pm

But the craft on display were designed and flown using heathen science, making it unacceptable; why it even supports the Galilean heliocentric heresy!

imissopus October 11, 2011 at 2:35 am

Immutable Laws of the Physical World libel!

mookwrthwilson October 10, 2011 at 6:16 pm

It's a museum full of phallic symbols. Pretty much a right-wing man's dream.

glamourdammerung October 10, 2011 at 6:36 pm

You forgot the teabagger at the Holocaust Museum.

Lascauxcaveman October 10, 2011 at 4:17 pm

He was probably maced by one of his fellow protesters just for generally being a dick.

nounverb911 October 10, 2011 at 4:19 pm

He probably maced himself.

CommieLibunatic October 10, 2011 at 4:36 pm

If he went down that road, he may as well carve a backwards "O" for "Obama" in his cheek for good measure.

ProudLibunatic October 10, 2011 at 5:53 pm

Little puke!

PalinzADummy October 10, 2011 at 8:27 pm

I don't think he knows how to do that *backwards,* though.

user-of-owls October 10, 2011 at 6:28 pm

Pity his fellow protesters weren't familiar with real fragging.

LesBontemps October 10, 2011 at 4:18 pm

Dear Penthouse Forum,

I thought this would never happen to me, but …

Limeylizzie October 10, 2011 at 4:38 pm

You are just full of the sexy today, aren't you?

LesBontemps October 10, 2011 at 5:01 pm

Most days I'm full of something.

Negropolis October 11, 2011 at 12:47 am

I guess we're all lucky that today it was sexy.

finallyhappy October 10, 2011 at 5:58 pm

I only read that mag once and it was about some guy who caught a goose in a bag and then , well, you know

PalinzADummy October 10, 2011 at 8:28 pm

Er, no, actually, what happens when you catch a goose in a bag?

finallyhappy October 10, 2011 at 8:35 pm

According to this guy- he kept the goose in the bag -its beak and most of its body in and it's goose bottom sticking out and had sex with it. I almost puked and never, never read Penthouse forum again. How the hell is screwing a goose sexy??????

flamingpdog October 10, 2011 at 11:58 pm

Oh, for the good ol' days (early 70s) of Letters to Penthouse when the hot topic was screwing vacuum cleaner hoses while the vacuum cleaner was powered up.

DerrickWildcat October 10, 2011 at 4:18 pm

Totally knows now what it's like in Afghanistan.

Doktor Zoom October 10, 2011 at 5:08 pm

Somewhere, Pete Hoekstra is smiling.

memzilla October 10, 2011 at 4:18 pm

The drool out of the corners of his mouth is the wrong color. It should be Jism White, not Twilight Red — because the only thing he sucks at, is writing.

RadioOcupados October 10, 2011 at 4:37 pm

Um, Santorum? the newest Crayola color.

V572-⁂½‡‡‡‡‡ October 10, 2011 at 4:19 pm

Let us all bow before the majesty of this sentence:

"But this simply will not do, for his super-scoop conservative news break about how lefty protesters are awful, so Howley’s version of the antiwar march organized by the group October 11 instead claims that he “infiltrated” the protesters (by showing up), who are by the way a bunch of tools who don’t know how to act like violent idiots unless Patrick Howley is there To Show How It’s Done."

And with a bonus hyperlink in the middle to set you off on a short side trip before you stagger to the finish!

SarahsBush October 10, 2011 at 4:26 pm

I truly felt that I had accomplished something after fighting my way through that one.

V572-⁂½‡‡‡‡‡ October 10, 2011 at 4:30 pm

Always bring a machete!

V572-⁂½‡‡‡‡‡ October 10, 2011 at 4:39 pm

How it's done.

BarackMyWorld October 10, 2011 at 4:43 pm

That's how we measure penis size around here. Or we would if Kristen were a dude.

carlgt1 October 10, 2011 at 4:20 pm

This isn't original, his ideological forefathers in the Pinkerton Detective Agency et al, were helping the robber barons beat and kill union members, organizers, and their families. Except today it's done in the name of "freedom" and "liberty."

tejanojim October 10, 2011 at 6:51 pm

I suspect it was done in the name of Freedom and Liberty back then as well.

metamarcisf October 10, 2011 at 4:20 pm

I have a skunk with this guy's name on it.

PalinzADummy October 10, 2011 at 8:31 pm

The skunks around here tattoo his name on their assholes. For inspiration.

Mojopo October 10, 2011 at 4:20 pm

What a complete dickbag. The levels of Stupid he has attained boggle the mind.

gurukalehuru October 10, 2011 at 4:20 pm

The cop was happy, he was happy, I'm happy, everybody's happy.

We got a message from the Action Man!

If he has to prove that he isn't a loser, then he is one.

Monsieur_Grumpe October 10, 2011 at 4:21 pm

"He was proud that I had been pepper-sprayed, and, oddly, so was I."

That boy ain't right in the head.

Mojopo October 10, 2011 at 4:28 pm

The "Jackassing" of modern politics?

PalinzADummy October 10, 2011 at 8:32 pm

No shit. Who was that other idiot "journalist" who volunteered to have some new weapon used on him and then wrote a cringe-inducing sycophantic ball-licking piece about his orgasmic fantasy of watching it used on a not-RWNJ?

Negropolis October 11, 2011 at 12:51 am

I get the feeling he gets off on pain…

SorosBot October 10, 2011 at 4:22 pm

So the modern FBI doesn't need a COINTELPRO to infiltrate peaceful protests and stir up violence, because dumbass right-wing "journalists" are volunteering for the position.

flamingpdog October 10, 2011 at 5:36 pm

The dumbass right-wing "journalist" position? Gonna have to go back to my old, tattered copy of "The Joy of Sex" to check that one out.

PalinzADummy October 10, 2011 at 8:33 pm

Arse in the air, cheeks splayed wide, mouth open for a taste of Jesusween.

Right Wing Dicks need to spice up their dickishness with pepper spray.

Mort_Sinclair October 10, 2011 at 4:23 pm

I would have preferred he had been "maced" with the variety of mace that has a heavy head on a solid shaft that makes for a very effective bludgeon.

poncho_pilot October 10, 2011 at 4:30 pm

i'd be happy with him getting The Pear Of Anguish.

PalinzADummy October 10, 2011 at 8:34 pm

ZOMG. I only even know what that is because I actually watched that British TV murder mystery series, Wire In The Blood.

Shut up, Patrick, and put on the pimp outfit.

Fawkdifiknow October 10, 2011 at 4:23 pm

Right wing knob knocker-in-chief, Andrew Brightfart, must have been behind this stunt.

SarahsBush October 10, 2011 at 4:24 pm

By his standards, I think I may have infiltrated a bar last night.

Generation[redacted] October 10, 2011 at 4:59 pm

And did the patrons "have what it takes" to "push the envelope, go bold?" Or were you the only one brave enough to be thrown out by the bouncers?

SarahsBush October 10, 2011 at 5:08 pm

My eyes did sting a bit after going to the bathroom.

gullywompr October 10, 2011 at 6:16 pm

Yeah, you don't really want to look into that hole in the wall, dude…

PalinzADummy October 10, 2011 at 8:35 pm

Timing is everything.

mumbly_joe October 10, 2011 at 4:24 pm

I'm glad we can all agree that this guy, specifically, deserved to get pepper sprayed. James O'Keefe, too.

Also, N.B. acting like violent pricks is synonymous with "courage" in the right-wing playbook. He was mad that the protesters weren't being violent pricks, and he was glad that the cop 'showed courage' by being a violent prick. I think that explains everything anyone ever needs to know about the right wing, tea party, republicans, etc. etc. etc. whatever the brand name they're using at the moment.

KeepFnThatChicken October 10, 2011 at 4:28 pm

Yes. Attending a tea party rally is tantamount to dumping the cargo hold of a freighter. (Thank you, Jon Stewart, for this wholesome reminder.)

flamingpdog October 10, 2011 at 5:42 pm

More like emptying the bilge compartment.

PalinzADummy October 10, 2011 at 8:36 pm

Down one's own gullet. Wut? It's true.

Negropolis October 11, 2011 at 12:55 am

"Bilge" is such an incredibly awesome word. I love to use it and love to see it used by others.

Chillwaver October 10, 2011 at 4:24 pm

"He was proud that I had been pepper-sprayed, and, oddly, so was I"

That was no pepper-spray, you closeted bastard.

Chet Kincaid October 10, 2011 at 4:25 pm

Dipshit needs to get his story straight.

PalinzADummy October 10, 2011 at 8:37 pm

How can his story be any straighter than he is? Which is, judging from his photo and his writing, not terribly very.

SheriffRoscoe October 10, 2011 at 4:26 pm

If my memory serves, Yosemite Sam did something like this, once, on Bugs Bunny.

KeepFnThatChicken October 10, 2011 at 4:27 pm

What were they protesting? Inertia? Gravity? Calculus?

Ohforcripessake October 10, 2011 at 5:35 pm

Plate Tectonics

finallyhappy October 10, 2011 at 6:00 pm

As well they should after the earthquake destroyed the Washington Monument and the National Cathedral
-however, plate tectonics is mainly dealt with at Natural History(NMNH)

SorosBot October 10, 2011 at 4:27 pm

Remember how many of the Breitards and right-wing bloggers claimed that the teabaggers who carried signs so obviously racist that even they couldn't deny it must be "liberal plants" trying to discredit the teabag rallies, despite the complete lack of evidence? It looks like that was once again projection; and this dumbass not only admits but actually brags about his role as a plant.

poncho_pilot October 10, 2011 at 4:34 pm

what kind of plant though? i'm guessing a fern.

GhostBuggy October 10, 2011 at 5:31 pm

Hey, I like ferns.

poncho_pilot October 10, 2011 at 5:42 pm

we can pick something else. i picked fern because they're fairly simple and they haven't changed much in a really, really long time.

flamingpdog October 10, 2011 at 5:44 pm

I had a great-aunt Fern. Does anyone name their kidz Fern anymore?

CommieLibunatic October 10, 2011 at 4:44 pm

He'll probably just whine "But the LIEbruls started it!" if anyone calls him on it.

SorosBot October 10, 2011 at 4:52 pm

Even though it never actually happened, he probably will. It's like how they're trying to say the Wall Street protesters are almost all-white, because people pointed out how lilly white the teabagging rallies were, even though any photo of the OWW protests shows them to be completely diverse.

GunToting[Redacted] October 10, 2011 at 4:57 pm

Don't forget, they wear clothes and carry technology, so it's silly for them to protest corporations.

"It's hard not to get swept up in the Movement when you're among a hundred foot soldiers — most of them attractive 20-year old girls"

Probably the closest this bozo has ever gotten to a date.

poncho_pilot October 10, 2011 at 4:37 pm

rubbing his junk clothed against a girl in a crowd = getting laid. in much the same fashion as he infiltrated the protests.

elviouslyqueer October 10, 2011 at 4:44 pm

I doubt seriously any of these girls would take more than a passing interest in dear Patrick. Unless, of course, they need advice on how to better suck cock.

Lionel[redacted]Esq October 10, 2011 at 5:43 pm

Probably as close as he has gotten to an actual soldier, too.

PalinzADummy October 10, 2011 at 8:42 pm

I think — and please feel free to beat shit out of me, dear Wonketteers, as you undoubtedly will — part of the reason the rightards are so unpleasant is because they really don't get too much of the old slap-and-tickle. Many of them are closeted flaming fucking queens who would be a lot happier if they could get permission to suck cock periodically. And the rest, I dunno what's wrong with them, but when they talk about ladybits looking like "bacon and playdoh," you kinda have to wonder if they've ever seen 'em up close and personal, yaknow?

hagajim October 10, 2011 at 4:28 pm

I thought the definition of being a reporter is that you report – not be a dickhole. The rich are starting to whine about the Occupados….they're probably just lucky the occupados haven't decided to come after them with axes and pitchforks – yet.

imissopus October 10, 2011 at 5:33 pm

Early in his administration Obama had a meeting with a whole bunch of bank heads in which he was trying to explain to them that they needed to be less dickish. He acutally said, "My administration is the only thing standing between you and the pitchforks." They didn't listen, didn't do shit but feather their own nests with taxpayer money while whining about being demonized by the president, and now lo and behold, the pitchforks are coming out. Should have listened to Obama, morons.

PalinzADummy October 10, 2011 at 8:43 pm

Indeed. The rage has been simmering for a while. I'm very impressed that the kids are keeping it nonviolent. It's like they learned from our experience with agents provocateurs.

Negropolis October 11, 2011 at 1:03 am

Bing-fucking'-O. They should rue the day they were given a chance to go-along-to-get along and chose instead to try to scoop up ALL of the money instead of just trying to scoop up MOST of the money. They have no one to blame but themselves.

You know, this nation has an unpleasant history with long tolerating the intolerable, but there is a point of pushback, eventually. Always.

GOPCrusher October 10, 2011 at 5:52 pm

I'm thinking that those 1% that have been profiting for the last 30 + years maybe beginning to come to the realization that the class war they have been waging, may just come back to bite them on the ass.
Wonder when we are going to see the first Tea Bagger counter protest which results in some cracked heads?

Goonemeritus October 10, 2011 at 4:29 pm

This needs to be a learning moment for all our brave protesters. CHECK THE SHOES!

SexySmurf October 10, 2011 at 4:31 pm

I think the gist of this tard's article is that if us Libunatics want to change things we need to go out and indiscriminately mace wingnuts.

And who are we to argue with that?

Besides, it sounds like they really enjoy it. Win-win.

MaxNeanderthal October 10, 2011 at 5:04 pm

"In the absence of ideological uniformity" – translation "why are these people not all wearing black uniforms and chanting "Sieg Heil"?"

Actually the incident you refer to used the stick from a toilet plunger. Using a broomstick would double the length and exponentially up the damages. So yup, that would do nicely as well. And in Patricks case it would be so richly deserved.

Wait….let me see if I got this…

The protesters are being criticized for something actually done by a rightwing plant…by not only the usual sources but also the rightwing plant who orchestrated the break-in himself?

I'm having a really hard time wrapping my head around this.

Chichikovovich October 10, 2011 at 6:16 pm

It is quite amazing. A museum has been broken into. You didn't do it, but you are, in my view, the kind of person who breaks into museums. I actually did do it, but I'm, in my view, not that kind of person. Shame on you!

imissopus October 10, 2011 at 6:24 pm

They are also sort of being criticized for being such pussies that they didn't do it, and for being the types of people who would do it if they weren't such pussies. Or something. Really, the only thing you need to understand is that this guy is a giant douche noodle.

PalinzADummy October 10, 2011 at 9:05 pm

Your lifestyle to me seems so tragic
With the thrill of it all
You fooled all the people with magic
(Yeah)You waited on Satan's call

From estimates within the protest, only twenty or thirty people had fire hoses turned on them, and as far as I could tell I was the only one who even managed to take a swing at a cop.

I prefer the original Hawaiian spelling of his last name Haole (Same pronunciation). There they have a special day to celebrate Haoles called "Kill a Haole" day where they chase white folk down and kick their asses. It is richly deserved in so many ways from a historical perspective, and in Paddy's case here, in even more ways still. I wonder if there is a variant of Haole that translates out roughly to Young Republican Douchebag?

mumbly_joe October 10, 2011 at 5:00 pm

You seem to have missed the update, where this courageous agent provocateur courageously scrubbed the references to "infiltrating to undermine and mock" the protests from his posting, and then reposted it without these references. In a fashion distinctive for the amount of courage involved.

elviouslyqueer October 10, 2011 at 5:13 pm

I'm still waiting for the latest, most accurate update, where Patrick finally admits that after getting pepper-sprayed he screamed like a demented 3-year-old, collapsed, and proceeded to shit himself.

this reminds me. yesterday i was driving from Milwaukee to Madison and noticed a new billboard on 94. it read something like, "liberals are the real weapons of mass destruction" or something. i'll try to get a picture this week.

you can do anything if you pull your mind up to it by your bootstraps.

so what do you think? a counter billboard with pictures of all the scandal-outed gay Republicans from recent years with the line, "Republicans: The Real Weapons Of Ass Destruction"? too much?

i don't want to offend gays, though. just want to be an asshole back.

PalinzADummy October 10, 2011 at 9:13 pm

I wish they'd make up their mind about the Left. One week we're liberals, next we're "demon-RATS," the week after, we're Socialist Fascists (you know, like compassionate conservatives, or fanged unicorns), and then we're totally Communist traitors. This week we're armed and dangerous? I thought they just got done mocking us for being leaderless, directionless, terrified wimps without any ideological cohesion.

poncho_pilot October 10, 2011 at 9:51 pm

i think the only thing that's consistent is that these are all things they think are insulting at the time. so let's see. we are: commie, fascist, islamist, atheist, satanist, socialist, anarchist, anti-capitalist pacifists who engage in violent, thuggish behavior. did i miss anything? i'm sure i did.

at least i can say that i just think they're proto-fascist, xenophobic, corporate-ass-licking, theocrats and leave it at that. and those labels traditionally do fit together. although Mussolini would have been against Wall Street, as well. he thought "international supercapitalism" was bad.

Callyson October 10, 2011 at 5:04 pm

the guards who sprayed me acted with more courage than I saw from any of the protesters.
Ah, but did they have more courage than those on Wall Street whose recklessness caused the economic mess we've been in since at least 2008?
Moron.

SenileAgitation October 10, 2011 at 5:07 pm

Protesters lack that certain something it takes to break into a museum, that nervy oomph that only a bold conservative can muster. Hence, the revolution is doomed. It will not be televised. They don't even know what channel it's on! Now all you stupid hippies can go home already. Except for the hot, hot anti-establishment babes. They are crazy for anarchy, crazy for sex, and i will struggle manfully to satisfy their lust for societal disintegration and anal (if that isn't redundant).

Sounds to me like the group he was with figured out pretty fast he's a Dexter, a tool, a turbo – so they pretended to go along with his silly little scheme, let him go first into the museum and get a facefull of pepper spray, and watched happily from the outside while it all happened.

Tundra Grifter October 10, 2011 at 5:32 pm

For no good reason I just listened to Sheer uh "Am i uh An Idiot?" uh InSannity sexually harass a young lady at the Wall Street Protest under the guise of a telephone interview.

She was bright, articulate, and clear with her message – so InSannity was reduced to asking her to take off her shirt. He tried to bait her with his leading questions; she refused to respond, politely asked him to let her finish speaking, and generally let InSannity make a complete and utter fool of himself.

I'm sure InSannity's wife and family are very proud of him.

The Air and Space Museum must be one of the dullest places in Washington, if not the entire country. I don't know about anyone else but I breathe air constantly and am always surrounded by space. Couldn't the Smithsonian come up with a museum that collects and displays something you can see?

finallyhappy October 10, 2011 at 8:42 pm

Well, you know what- if someone doesn't submit to the security measures- how do we know they are unarmed? I am grateful for my security personnel at the Smithsonian. Plenty of nuts come to DC and plenty of weapons. We don't forget the guard who gave his life to save visitors at the Holocaust Museum- that guy had a visible weapon but backpacks and pockets and jackets can conceal stuff. So I say pepper spray or baton anyone who tries to run past security.

mumbly_joe October 10, 2011 at 7:42 pm

Speaking of wingnut infiltrators, apparently some of the further-flung Occupy Everything protests are having a bit of a Paultard infestation, which is apparently filling the room with chatter about the evils of fractional reserves (econ 101 sez: kinda necessary for any economy to speak of).

I remember seeing a couple of specimens of the Wild Paultard in Zuccotti Park, myself, but their plumage doesn't actually make for very good camouflage, and they were very poorly disguised amongst the population. The "What about Liberty" sign was a bit of a tell, but it's definitely a dangerous possibility that the more isolated protests, where invasive Paultards represent a much more endemic problem, may find themselves overtaken or diverted off-message.

So, we may be starting to see some of the actual drawbacks of a diffuse, decentralized, big-tent grassroots movement, in that there actually is reason to worry about some highjacking in the works.

Got to see a demo of one these at the Nellis Test Range when they first started coming into the inventory. Love the sub-sonic boom, but even more impressive was to see the plane come to a complete halt in the air as the gun turned a tank into bits of ground up metal.

GunToting[Redacted] October 10, 2011 at 5:14 pm

If I recall prior conversations, the rounds have teflon grommets surrounding them so the 30mm rounds never touch the barrel. They are moving so fast that a metal-metal interface would destroy the barrel.

Never had any up-close time with the GAU-8, but I have met and shot with the principal engineer of the Dillon Aero. I also have a friend who builds the McMillan TAC-50.
