jonah goldberg talkin shit

does he script those automated spam messages I get? There seems to be similar logic working there.

You own the book, kingfish?

page photos have been all over the past few days!

the "war on smoking" is New Age?

Today's funny. I love the 'stolen base' comment because har har do you see etc.

"We're All Fascists Now" has a nice punky ring to it, i must admit. i'm sure it's an obvious reference to something my dulled brain is missing at the moment, but w/e

it might be making you think of McCarthy's "We Are All Bourgeois Now"?

i think the "we are all x now" phrase is pretty old but i don't know where it's from

He's such a cock.

'Dachau hosted the world's largest alternative and organic medicine research lab and produced its own organic honey.'

from fascist bees!

i don't own a copy; some of the lefty blogs are posting pics from the pages, since some of the shit is so fucked that you have to see it to believed that some publisher actually put down time & money to print up such madness.

f'rinstance, this bit about how the KKK were "ironically" called fascists, or this chapter list

They've been posted pages at http://www.sadlyno.com/

Dave Neiwert reviews the book well.

ornicus is one of my favorite blogs and my work filter now blocks it due to "racism/hate"

the angries, there are so many of them

in my hart

The Corner has been all about promoting that tract in the last two days. Jonah actually visited local bookstores to see where it was posted

haha essentially no one in a chain bookstore gives a shit about the dude's politics. front-of-store placement is driven by how many copies have been ordered/how much co-op money the publisher has spent, none of which goes on at the store level. no one outside of ny/dc stocked the book in huge quantities because no one knows or cares who jonah goldberg is. if he were a tall blond chick with an adam's apple, they'd stock more because that shit sells. for such a tough guy he sure loves playing the victim

ornicus is one of my favorite blogs and my work filter now blocks it due to "racism/hate"

can an rss reader get thru your filter? Also, he posts a good deal at places like FireDogLake.

Then again, there's always Google caches.

>>'Dachau hosted the world's largest alternative and organic medicine >>research lab and produced its own organic honey.'

This is the kind of lunatic statement which editors simply don't have the guts to decline to publish.

Actually, from the pages I've seen excerpted, you could simply take out all the references to liberals and his usual targets and substitute Republicans and it would work the same way.

F'r instance: Dachau played host to the most advanced, if unsanctioned, medical techniques in the west. It is well known that many people in the Republican party benefit from and support the cutting edge practice of medicine.

It's astonishing to me that the LA Times hasn't fired him from its editorial pages. It won't stand for anyone being called names and putting about half the population of the country in the same league as Nazis would seem to broadly fit the paper's list of no-no's. By his screwy book, many Jews in the entertainment industry must be closet Nazis, too.

In fact, most of the other columnists at the paper would have to be closet Nazi-Jews, too.

i've already seen several references to this shit in non-goldberg writings (DUH NATIONAL SOCIALISM IT'S GOT SOCIALISM RIGHT THERE GUYS!). gonna be a fun year.

doughy pantloads premiere (3) OTM

i don't get the 'cheetoh' meme, but i approve

I liked "Ghost writer quit when I tried to pay him in funyuns"

i don't get the 'cheetoh' meme, but i approve

standard "fat loser in parents' basement subsisting on cheet-ohs and smug self-satisfaction" stuff. except -star trek +movement "conservatism."

pretty hilarious daily show interview tonight

i hope the full, unedited 18 minute version gets posted somewhere. it was interesting seeing doughboy actually being confronted in person about how woefully stupid this book is. since he's pretty much chosen to ignore every valid written criticism as somehow not worth his time.

Evolution of religious bigotry

The cowardice and intolerance of slapping a Darwin fish on your car bumper.

what a tool

So basically

1) We are right to hate muslims
2) Liberals don't hate them enough
3) But they hate christians (who I don't actually like either but who are relatively harmless and help my team)
4) So we are also right to hate liberals

5) We are right to be suspicious of fish

I am offended by this smug bumper sticker!

lol @ me for composing a thoughtful response to send to jgoldberg @ latimescolumnists.com

e-mail bounced

A plaque with 'Shalom' written inside a Star of David would hardly attract notice; a plaque with 'Usury' written inside the same symbol would be an outrage.

yes, this is exactly the same thing and completely destroys the blood libel of the darwin fish.

But the most annoying aspect of the Darwin fish is the false bravado it represents. It's a courageous pose without consequence.

thank god nobody on the right has ever bought a bumper sticker, flag ribbon or magnetic american flag and just slapped it on their car.

Like so much other Christian-baiting in American popular culture, sporting your Darwin fish is a way to speak truth to power on the cheap.

speaking truth to power is just awful.

oh my god. i don't know why i continue to be surprised by this dude.

(xp) wait waht

i counted 13 paragraphs before he says

No, national service isn't slavery.

But it isn't a cakewalk, either!

Haha oh Jonah you so dumb you make Bill Kristol seem smart.

loving that hes considered a prominent intellectual conservative these days

i consider him a prominent http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n12lnaaMVLc

He so proud!

If you want a sense of how popular I am with the LA Times community, check out the (354 and counting) comments to my Obama national service column.

One small point in response (I know, I know: Why bother?). The 13th amendment lists involuntary servitude and slavery as different things. If they were the same, the founders wouldn't have wasted the ink repeating themselves.

A couple of days ago re a certain dead former Senator:

Am I saying that Helms became colorblind simply by virtue of being baptized into the Republican Party? Of course not. But he was pretty well constrained to the limits of what the GOP would allow. Nonetheless, conservatives have a heavier burden to speak clearly on these issues. But in response too Helms' death, we chose kindness over a more honest accounting.

I...I am moved.

did Jessie like Jews?

"waddup alex. U gonna get urs. Jonah"

In which max plays Aaron Burr.

oh my god somehow i had never encountered that "the white male is the Jew of liberal fascism" line

what a horrible idiotic man

"the white male is the Jew of liberal fascism"

Genuine lol. I loved Alex's airplane analogy, too. So sad about the melted ice cream. It's not fair.

Jonah is mad at Joel Klein's review.

authors shouldn't respond to negative reviews IMO, it's undignified. in his post jonah proceeds to commit every sin he accuses klein of. i can't imagine reading an entire book by this assclown but that post illustrates his unique fusion of pseudo-erudition and juvenile putdowns. klein was too kind!

I suspect Jonah took Alex P's comment about him never addressing criticism to heart -- and this is the result.

as Pareene has noted, Jonah craves the affection of guys like Klein (who's a hack himself).

"We've invited Klein, Goldberg, Chris Matthews, Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly to this debate inside a vacuum-sealed tube we've dropped in the middle of the ocean. Now, an hour of gentle new age music."

otm

i don't think much of klein either. people like his book on woody guthrie but on politics he's always been a conventional-wisdom pez dispenser

don't forget this smug dickweed:

http://www.mediabistro.com/fishbowldc/files/2011/04/fineman-h.jpg

I can’t imagine a person dumb enough to actually believe that Jonah Goldberg had been seriously considered for a Pulitzer. (Well, OK, I can imagine one person dumb enough.)

A+ Klo zing.

I align myself with GK Chesterton, William F. Buckley, Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn, Friedrich von Hayek, Ludwig Von Mises and quite a few others on this point.

Don't forget Von von Vonvonvon

jberg is good evidence that all the advantages of an upper class, urban, educated, political upbringing cannot substitute for intelligence. he just seems really dumb idk.

pareene piece an excellent takedown to read sunday morning. my only complaint is that having already attacked goldberg it's unlikely pareene will follow-up with more goldberg pieces throughout the rest of the year.

Don't worry -- Jonah will provide more fodder!

tyranny blog

In short, I’m really not all that bothered by what I think are his unjustifiably low opinions of my work, but I really can’t abide his unjustifiably high opinion of himself.

riiiiiiiiiiiiiight
