Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

Second rate reporter says what?

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

When do the post office & the dmv weigh in on the wuhan virus?

I didn’t have alien invasion on my 2023 BINGO card.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

“woke” is the new caravan.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the GOP

No one could have predicted…

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Memo to Hyperventilating Wingnuts

Cease your worrying and nattering — the question of whether xenophobic loners will have the freedom to cut-and-paste 1500 page racist missives in Norway after this weekend’s slaughter has been answered by Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg:

At a press conference at his Oslo residence, Stoltenberg underlined his commitment to openness, defending freedom of thought, even if includes extremist views such as those held by the 32-year-old who confessed to Friday’s bomb blast and to the shooting massacre.

“We have to be very clear to distinguish between extreme views, opinions that are completely legal, legitimate to have, [and] what is not legitimate is to try to implement those extreme views by using violence,” he said.

Degrease your slippery slopes, burn your strawmen for heat on a cool night, and get back to the simple, rewarding work of hating anyone who doesn’t share your beliefs or skin color. Your rights are protected, even if your hearts’ desire is to deprive everyone else of the same freedom you enjoy.

    I know I’m tired from a frantic two days of travel, but I’m just not seeing where you’re going? Sounds an awful lot like the freedoms that are supposed to exist here: You can say whatever you want, as long as it’s purpose is not to incite violence. And yes, it does cause us to end up with people who have no concept of what it actually means to take someones right away.

    ETA: Maybe your entire point was to go after someone for causing violence in the cause of trying to gain something he already had. If that’s the case, then if you figure out how to get through to these type of people, I will fund your spread of this technique throughout the US.

    Those european “anti-jihadist” assholes said they didn’t have freedom of speech before this. Would proclaim in 1500 word essays that they were suffering under a dictatorial, politically correct, hate speech law regime….and they have been doing that since I first noticed them around 9/11. Then they would issue a bunch of bloodthirsty rhetoric about Muslims and organize some mob to go chant nonsense at the local mosque. Then they would get back to bitching about how the state was silencing them.

    Hi, Mr. Trolling Dick. I’m not so much for censorship, as preventive detention. If writings of that sort come to light, the author should be sentenced to be detained, as we say in Commonwealth countries, during Her Majesty’s pleasure.

    But then, I am not a liberal. I think there should be laws that would permit the divestiture and piece-wise sale of media enterprises such as Murdoch’s and all the other entities that hide monopoly power and political subversion under a threadbare facade of freedom of speech.

    And I think these laws should be rigidly enforced. I think that makes a militant socialist, although it fact it only makes be a fan of Theodore Roosevelt.

    @Trollenschlongen:
    Here, let me help you out:

    The PM of Norway was saying that while criminal acts will be investigated and prosecuted, his country will always safeguard freedom of thought and expression, however extreme they may be. So anyone fearing a crackdown on such thoughts and expressions in the wake of Anders Breivik’s killing spree may now safely direct their concern-trolling elsewhere.

    I’m afraid there’s nothing here that will allow you to showcase your superior gifts of insight.

    Other Republican news that is totally not hyperventilating: the S&P gloomspeak ratings on the debt ceiling agreement was all an ACORN, Jimmy Carter, Barney Fag, and FANNIEFREDDIE conspiracy!

    WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A congressional panel is examining whether the Obama administration tried to unduly influence Standard & Poor’s before the credit rater revised its outlook on the debt rating to negative.
    __
    Randy Neugebauer, the Republican chairman of a House oversight panel, said on Wednesday his staff is probing whether Treasury tried to make material changes to a draft of S&P’s news release announcing the negative outlook revision in April.
    __
    “Our concern was if the administration was trying to influence this rating decision some — above what would be a normal practice,” Neugebauer told reporters after a hearing examining oversight of the credit rating industry and the role the raters are playing in U.S. debt talks…
    __
    …A review of the emails by Reuters shows efforts by S&P and Treasury officials to hold discussions ahead of the outlook review. They also show an interest by Treasury in obtaining a draft copy of S&P’s press release.
    __
    There was no indication in the emails that Treasury was unhappy with the review or tried to influence the press release.

    Jesus Christ, I made the mistake of clicking on some of the Google search results under mistermix’s first link. Apparently people who criticize hateful and xenophobic views like Breivik’s are responsible for driving him to take up arms and murder kids. Such criticism was suppressing his speech, and so of course he resorted to violence since he couldn’t speak freely.

    “We have to be very clear to distinguish between extreme views, opinions that are completely legal, legitimate to have, [and] what is not legitimate is to try to implement those extreme views by using violence,” [Stoltenberg] said.

    Pamela Gellar, Robert Spencer, and Fjordman then expressed their relief in a shared announcement condemning Stoltenberg as a “weak multi-culti Muslim-loving dhimmi pussy commie.”

    Nearly all right-wingers would agree to this so long as it only applies to white, American right-wingers. They would never agree that it applies, for instance, to any African-American preachers or, it almost goes without saying, any Muslims.

    Hi, Mr. T. Let me lay it out on the table. I’m not so much for censorship, as preventive detention. If writings of that sort come to light, the author should be sentenced to be detained, as we say in Commonwealth countries, during Her Majesty’s pleasure.

    I also think that legal remedies should exist against lying by politicians and the media in public matters. That would include op-ed columnists like George Will and many others, who should be in gaol for deliberately and maliciously endangering the biosphere and the lives of billions. The media empires that empower then should be forthwith dismantled, and the owners divested of their interests for manifest and depraved indifference to their duties as protectors of the public interest.

    But then, I am not a liberal. I think there should be laws that would permit the divestiture and piece-wise sale of media enterprises such as Murdoch’s and all the other entities that hide monopoly power and political subversion under a threadbare facade of freedom of speech.

    And I think these laws should be rigidly enforced, by the dread men with guns as needed. I think that makes a militant socialist, although it fact it only makes be a fan of Theodore Roosevelt.

    @ruemara: Hmm…he kind of has it in the eyes too. But yeah the voice is a big dominant trait in Siamese. There’s a similar marking cat without the voice but I don’t remember which now. HE IS GAWJUSS!!

    Mr Troll wails in the confused frustration of a failed troll:

    Your greatest pleasure is to hear each other repeat what each of you just said…that, and nothing more.

    Wrong again, troll. That is not my greatest pleasure. Among the few great pleasures of my life, it is not even.

    But I do so enjoy the bellowing of a wounded troll. Almost as much fun as playing a good character at level 18+ in rogue, where the slow-witted trolls become the least of one’s worries.

    @Tim.

    Seriously? You can’t separate out the trivial back and forth that happens here on BJ with this truly amazing affirmation of free speech from the Norwegian Prime Minister after having scores of Norwegian youth gunned down by the man whose free speech he is insisting needs to be protected..?

    Please. Take a few breaths.

    I’d just like to say that I’m disgusted by the professional commentary on this criminal act.

    Not you mistermix, the pros.

    No authentic feeling, whatsoever. It’s a bunch of self-centered, self-absorbed punditry gibberish, and it’s disgustingly disrespectful to the people in that country. They’ve managed to turn this into yet another boring meditation on the state of the conservative soul in the US, as if we don’t spend enough time analyzing conservatives as it is.

    Enough. Real people died, and it was a criminal and political act of terror. I do not want to spend one minute worrying about US conservatives and their fucking feelings.

    We would be outraged if Norwegian commentary had been as stupid and self-centered and Norwegian-centric as US commentary was here after one of our (many, many) mass shootings/bombings. I’m ashamed of us. We’re incapable of empathy or looking outward, towards others, or the genuine horror and sadness this should have provoked. It all sounds phony and contrived and about us.

    Support my arbitrary invasions or you’re a traitor.

    Anyone who thinks Qaddafi isn’t getting what he deserves needs to have their head examined.

    Not you mistermix,

    Really?
    the day before the massacre mistermix approvingly linked EDK.
    EDK is Jennifer Rubin with a swinging dick on this.
    And i got banned for three days because i said that.
    Ballon Juice has not exactly covered itself with glory on Kain’s flirtation with xenophobia.
    not a peep about a onetime frontpager that is just as repulsive as Goldberg or Rubin.
