NRO's The Corner: Rolling Bile, Spit, and Gnash Thread

so to speak

We'll need a new thread soon, what with K-Lo photos and rods an extra burden.

i just cannot stop laughing @ that.

oh you poor thing. you poor stupid dumb idiot clueless desperate bigoted hateful thing.

never stop, kathryn lopez

at least now we know how the dog was able to get to her hair

Isn't she the Duran Duran fan on that site? She must watch the early videos very...carefully.

at least now we know how the dog was able to get to her hair

sorta gives "Hungry Like the Wolf" a new meaning

okay mad respect

I can't laugh at work like this! Argh.

woah woah woah k-lo's a durannie? are we sure she's not a certain former ilxor?

Hahah no, I thought of that but no.

it would make sense sorta - she was one of the more likeable/tolerable rightwingers ilx has seen and k-lo's far from the worst of the bunch at nro

I dunno, blount -- she's the witch whose honeyed words persuade you to step into the oven.

wait - k-lo's a durranie and balls is a certain former ilxor? now my head is spinning

o i'm not defending k-lo (except for entertainment purposes), i'm just saying i can't begin to compare the contempt i feel for her to what i feel for jonah goldberg.

does anyone think there's any actual potential for a rift here? following ny i saw some (generally younger, and not all the predictable libertarian type either) repubs saying 'look this battle is over, this issue is costing us votes as much as it gets us votes and its only gonna get worse, we need to move on and get on the right side of history' and then of course other repubs beating the 'I SAW A LADY GET CALLED DADDY - JUST LIKE IN NORTH KOREA' drum. the social republicans definitely seem at risk of getting left behind (even if say romney has to balance his ticket it's with a bachmann type, not a santorum)(i do wonder how different it would be w/ huckabee in there), gay marriage has been (w/ pot legalization) the issue a conservative is most likely to get away w/ heresy on (limbaugh's been willing to toss it out as an example of an issue he's not a party hack about, and palin's tip-toed around it enough that it wouldn't shock to see her endorse it eventually).

i think the rift is happening as we type. comments at the corner have been so OTT on gay marriage post-NY and everybody but maggie g and k-lo has steered clear of the cesspool.

i feel total contempt for jonah goldberg, he's a smug lazy pseudo-intellectual, k-lo i feel sorry for in a way - catholic damage.

comments at the corner have been so OTT on gay marriage post-NY and everybody but maggie g and k-lo has steered clear of the cesspool.

I'd say the comments have surpassed (Andy) McCarthy-ite levels of lunacy.

I suspect more than a few of the higher-ups/regulars are going "Why the hell DID we allow commenters?" and looking over at Andrew Sullivan's blog with envy about now.

but commenters increase the site's hit count!

And VD can increase the amount of crabs you have.

not if you have herpes.

unless you've gone in on some buy-one-get-one vd scheme, ned.

One must supersize everything in this, our America.

Living in Miami I talk to a lot of young Republican types, and I can tell you that they all, to a man and woman, endorse same-sex marriage.

Basically anyone under thirty-five.

my extended family are basically the most conservative human beings imaginable (which makes thanksgiving fun (really) after a couple beers) and even they're like "let the gays marry if the feel like it." anecdotal evidence 4 u.

seriously though i can't imagine anyone who isnt forced to play to the most cave people of bases not jumping off the "keep adam and steve out of our bridal registries" train soon.

seems like a generational thing. i knew a lot of conservatives in college and they were pretty pro-gay in general.

yeah even the a) birther and b) guy with the WHOJGALT license plate that i know are like sure, whatever

limbaugh got jokes.

When a gay person turns his back on you, it is anything but an insult; it’s an invitation”

this is true tbh

so many missed opportunities! if only i'd been a rush listener.

WATCH OUT STRAIGHTS I'M INVITING YOU

"much like a vampire, alfred must invite a straight inside"

those limbaugh quotes are pretty tame compared to what a comparable list of his anti-woman or anti-black quotes would look like

Have you ever switched to the show and heard "Dancing Queen" precede a reference to Barney Frank? Why didn't he use "Knowing Me, Knowing You"?

i've been meaning to start a poll on the disconnect between rightwing talk radio and the theme music they'll use - limbaugh and the pretenders obv, but hannity using martina mcbride's 'independence day' never fails to amuse me, and laura ingraham using john lennon's 'power to the ppl' i figure has to be deliberate trolling (though this ridic 'lennon was a reaganite at the end' story they've been spreading around makes me wonder); couldn't think of enough others to make it pollworthy though.

I don't remember if it was Ellen Willis who said that the huge success of the Movement is its appropriation of leftist revolutionary tropes.

i've seen alinsky's rules for radicals sold on what was clearly the 'tea party' table at the local borders

yep -- some of those NRO commenters have cited it.

still the 'independance day' one blows my mind - hannity's audience is obv going to be very familiar w/ this song and going to know that it is in no way remotely a patriotic anthem, not even in a 'well you could accidentally interpret it..' way like 'born in the usa' or hell 'power to the ppl' - and yet every afternoon there it is LET FREEDOM RIIING and i'm like 'ok is everybody just agreeing to pretend that this crazy wrongness is actually right?' and then i realize 'oh wait, right'.

yeah, but you see the liberals are the abusive husband and the right wing is the battered wife setting the house on fire.

So wait – is this true?

I seriously doubt it

I have witnessed multiple legendary scoldings over the term "jimmies" though, which has never failed to be hilarious

I have never heard this term until today! Sprinkles is not that cumbersome a word to use.

thought jimmies were condoms

^^^^ yes, exactly, hence my first encounter with this usage was momentarily startling

Those are "jimmy hats."

Love how many of those NRO comments boil down to "if that word isn't really racist, here are some other terms you can use to provoke minorities!"

omg it all comes around

Interestingly, I was thinking about just this kind of thing yesterday when I saw a Dairy Queen sign advertising their "Moolattes."
