Although it is in large part mocking me, this is still pretty damned funny.
And here are the Greatest Hits of Atrios.

Why dso you continue to heap slurs on this woman? And don’t you know that ‘media whore,’ while a regrettable term in this case, is the same thing as ‘whore?’ Really, it was just a coincidence that all the lefties who encouraged their readers to write, call, and e-mail Erick Erickson and leave nasty messages on his voice mail for his wife left out the word ‘media.’
And ‘niggardly’ is a racial slur!

OMG, Michael Moore really is fat! I’m changing my entire worldview.

I thought you were an ‘intellectually honest conservative,’ John Cole. I am done reading you until every post agrees with me!

Well, if you can’t admit any fault in your defense of Erick’s indefensible post… at least you have a sense of humor about it all! And I concur, it is pretty funny. Except for a few parts that are legitimately tragic.
John Cole
Yeah. Because that is what I was doing. Defending Erick’s post.

I’m just trying to imagine a band consisting of Atrios, Krugman, Kaye Grogan, the Mustached Editors Guy and pre-crazy Brian Wilson. It’s not pretty.

Well, John, I knew what you were trying to say, but after four years of watching righties smear everyone who criticizes Bush’s foreign policy with exactly that kind of rhetoric, I’d say a lot of people are pretty defensive about this whole thing.
That said, you seem like a pretty honest and decent guy, and I definitely don’t think it’s fair to lump you in with the snarling Republican attack dogs who promote the “objectively pro-terrorist” narrative and other disingenuously mock-indignant right-wing smear tactics (I also don’t think that’s what Andrew was trying to do, by the way). Either way, I know I’m not “done reading you until every post agrees with me!”.

That’s how I took it, although I mostly agreed with the larger points you were making.
Either way, glad to see you still have a (somewhat brittle) sense of humor about it.
