jonah goldberg talkin shit

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.

oh teh lulz:

doughy pantloads premiere (3) OTM

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

http://www.dickdestiny.com/cheetoh.jpg

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?

didn't he invite a physical fight at some point in the last couple years?

"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."

Um, "the founders"?

The Annex of Rights

lol i didnt even catch that

bah no comments on The Corner?

That would be too easy, Dan.

Annnnnnd....he flaunts his intellectual cred with Peter Beinart.

And apologizes:

Just to stop the flow of e-mail, let me say it up here as well. Last night, writing in haste I referred to the authors of the 13th amendment as the "founders." Obviously, this was an error — the founders had moved on to better things by then. Not that the angry e-mailers will believe me, but it was merely a typing error. I did actually know that the amendment that ended slavery was written around the time, you know, slavery ended.

LOL@"noted black british journalist dast00r" above

Obviously, this was an error — the founders had moved on to better things by then.

Long dead = better things

^^^^nick straker looks an awful lot like jg ... coincidence?

Obama the postmodernist

oh fuckin fuck shitballs arschkrumeln that fucking clueless take on "postmodernism" drives me fucking insane

I know that's the point but when these fucking guys construct this massive strawman and call it postmodernism it really pisses me off

I say this as a guy who has no particular love for actual postmodernism

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!

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.

You're the clown, Jonah...you have pissed your away all of your credibility as one of the most thoughtful of our generation.

Do you think that man deserved to be pushed like that?
