BOMB THE INTERNET

A Children’s Treasury Of Annoying Liberal Insta-reactions To This Local Murder

Wednesday, June 10th, 2009

If there is one thing to count on when a lunatic shoots someone due to lunacy, it is to expect scores of liberal blog posts, longwinded self-righteous television segments from MSNBC anchors, and of course press releases from liberal advocacy groups about how this murder is HATE-TERRORISM and also the direct fault of a funny Fox News television entertainer or commenters on a right wing forum. They are instant. And, of course, with the news that a white supremacist shot a security guard at the Holocaust Museum today, many liberal bloggers have noted that their first reaction to the shooting of a human was, “OOH, THOSE REPUBLICANS GOT PWNED FOR WHAT THEY SAID IN APRIL, SUCKAS.” MORE »


INTERNET FIGHT!

Meghan McCain Rant Directed At One MATTHEW YGLESIAS?

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009

Hey we solved a mystery, maybe! In her infamous Twitter Rant, Meghan McCain cites “a particularly nasty comment from a person I won’t say how but I indirectly work with questioning if I have ever worked.” Blah blah blah WHAT? (Just read it a few times and it will vaguely resemble English.) So who is this secret meany? He would have written something for the Daily Beast (freelancing = “indirectly working with”)… why it must be prominent young communist MATT YGLESIAS, YES? MORE »

George Will Hates The Liberals So Much, All Of Them, For Their Non-Existent Issue

Monday, December 8th, 2008

George Will was one of those Intellectual Conservatives who was championed by the Liberals for his courageous, journalistic act of questioning Sarah Palin’s ability to run the country, which she would have had to do when John McCain died on his third day in office. Will, naturally, was labeled a big city fairy who never would have had the courage to raise a Down Syndrome baby, except for the Down Syndrome baby that he did in fact raise. Well all that election nonsense is over, right, so Will was apparently trying to build back his conservative “base” points with yesterday’s bizarre wingnut rant about the fuckin’ liberals and their obvious plans to reinstate the Fairness Doctrine, which the liberals have no intention of reinstating.

WHO KILLED TIM RUSSERT?

Wonkette Interviews Matt Yglesias At Utne Reader Party

Monday, September 1st, 2008

Here is some footage of blogger Matt Yglesias talking about fallen American hero Tim Russert. (Matt once wrote about how unbearably inane Russert was, and then Russert died three weeks later, and everybody on the Internet hated Matt for being so insensitive the end.) We made this poor fellow say terrible things for the camera by promising him beers, which were free, at the Summit Brewing Company last night. Thanks Utne Reader for the fun party!

Insane Internet About To Commit Suicide Over Hillary Clinton’s Existence

Tuesday, March 25th, 2008

Christ, the Pennsylvania primary isn’t until April 22 and at its current rate, the Internet will have long since committed suicide, over and over and over again. Over the last week, many bloggers have gotten so bored with the lack of actual news that they have become werewolves. Specifically, the level of violent rage directed at Hillary Clinton has reached that of Osama bin Laden in late 2001. Do not be surprised to see some of the bloggers below resort to self-immolation the next time Hillary Clinton says something on a radio show. MORE »


HILLARY CLINTON

Possible Clinton Ohio Victory Offends Internet

Monday, March 3rd, 2008

Hillary is up to her same old self-serving Rovian tricks, and the Internet is furious. She had the gall today to lead new polls in Ohio, where it’s starting to look like she’ll pull off a victory. Can you believe she would do this to Barack Obama? Take a poll that he was probably winning by 30 points, hack into the survey database with bribes, and readjust it to show herself winning? This Clinton will stop at nothing to continue running for president, even if it means taking the lead in a poll. Fortunately, some bloggers will not sit quietly and watch democracy fall apart like this. MORE »

Wonkette Roundtable Discussion Crash: Nick Gillespie vs. Jonah Goldberg

Wednesday, July 19th, 2006

Last night, Wonkette schlepped down to the Heritage Foundation do shoot up and fuck our sisters listen to a debate on Libertarians versus Conservatives, with Jonah Goldberg of the National Review Online, and Nick Gillespie of Reason Magazine — and, this week, of Wonkette, making us a bit biased. Quite a bit biased, actually, as we’ve learned time and time again that, our own rich-soaking tendencies aside, drinking with Libertarians always means a good, if poorly-remembered, time.

Full report, after the jump.
