I'MMA LET YOU FINISH
Hello.
Second..
Please wait at least 20 seconds between posts (another 6 second(s)).
Hi Marcia Brady!
That guy sounds like Hitler rationalizing in that "Downfall" movie I saw last spring.
It's a parody and you know it.
The name's a dead giveaway.
Guess I'd better check this out and see how he matches up to Merkin Patriot.
I'm saying no parody. This sounds like too many Army individuals I have had the pleasure of knowing.
I'm thinking it might not be a parody.
Un-be-fucking-lievable. What in the name of God is wrong with these shitheads?
Oh Fuck!
Can we just send these asscracks to Inner Mongolia and just be done with it?
Or Lower Volta.
It reads better like this:
A CINC’s #1 job is to keep his soldiers alive. If they die, you can’t accomplish the mission, and you weaken your military and put your countrymen in danger.
Obviously Poppy’s son, I forget his name at the moment, didn’t get his men killed on purpose, and except for putting them in harm's way for a lie he may well have have had no control over the circumstances that led to their deaths.
BUT.
In war, there are no excuses. You find a way to keep your soldiers alive, whatever it takes — if you’re a good CINC. Poppy's son didn’t do that. His soldiers paid the price. But he also failed the mission and let down his country.
As a CINC and a soldier, he was a failure. He was bold (maybe), but he was also incompetent.
Just got here and was reading through previous links to see what happened in the world -- and JUST got back from reading that comment and thinking WTF. That was just batshit-crazy.
Who can tell the dif between parody trolls and actual trolls now?
(The Editors are certainly bookmarked now. Damn!)
What a pathetic waste of human DNA.
I actually do think it's a parody. But i'm in the mood to bait.
As a soldier, he was a failure. He was brave (maybe), but he was also incompetent.
So, really, how much exactly are we supposed to grieve over this guy? Isn’t a certain amount of disapproval in order for the guy — and by extension his mom, for making such a fuss over a person who was, in the last analysis, by definition a loser?
Oh. My. Farking. God.
There are no words for this level of obscenity.
So that means Memorial Day is a holiday devoted to losers?
"But i'm in the mood to bait." --
Atrios
Bait away. Specifics?
ABC News covering Sheehan ...
Uh-oh...They said the "H" word (hippies).
Wingnut inveighing against outside agitators.
It's no more nonsensical than any of the other "arguments" against Sheehan.
He's no Merkin Patriot, that's for certain. He's more like certifiable.
Gotta be a parody.
It's an obvious parody. Lighten up on the hysteria already.
Please don't make me read that horrible stuff on the thread below. I almost blew beads.
Ok - now I gotta go see if I can read it as parody.
(hoping....)
But i'm in the mood to bait.
Oh, you evil anger pimp!
res, anything on the "we don't care" aspect on ABC?
A soldier’s #1 job is to stay alive. If you die, you can’t accomplish the mission, and you weaken your team and put your buddies in danger.
Obviously Sheehan’s son, I forget his name at the moment, didn’t die on purpose, and he may well have have had no control over the circumstances that let to his death.
BUT.
In war, there are no excuses.
okay, now I've heard it all. I doubt this is parody, but it is totally wrong. Has this poster ever hunkered down in a bunker listening to a fellow serviceman scream after taking shrapnel from a mortar, being totally unable to to do a damn thing about it because of incoming rounds and small arms fire. Medivac unable to land for and hour? Where in the hell do these people come from. chickenhawks--the most vile word in the dictionary.
So Poppy Bush was a failure, not a hero, when he got his plane shot down in WWII?
I guess Dubya must be the ultimate hero because not only did he not die, he was a good enough soldier to never get close to a battle. Nobody ever accused him of letting his mates down in battle. So by this guy's logic W should get a freaking Medal of Honor.
Here's another parody or not-parody I've discovered.
I report, you decide:

It's a parody and you know it.

Well, it's not a giveaway to me. But I googled the name, and there are lots of comments out there. My personal favorite:

This issue is irrelevant. The word 'cunt' is actually Anglo-Saxon for the bottom of a valley. Following the norman invasions of England in 1066, the Normans decided to alienate Saxons from their culture by taking obscure Saxon words and giving them anatomical meanings.
There were, in fact, several dozen of these words. 'Cunt' is the only one that survives to this date. I fail to see what is so shocking about calling Malkin a valley floor.
I'm guessing parody troll.
If this is parody, he certainly has the tone and phrasing right.
Googled him. He's being ironic. Best ironist since Neal Pollack. Wonder how he feels about teabagging?
Marica Brady ... It actually wasn't too bad. Not much meat, but not bad. It was more about the Crawford Peace House. Reprot said that the place was in debt, with the phone getting cut off, etc. as of last week. But now that Cindy's there, they've got so many donations they paid off their mortgage. This is not sitting well with the locals, who are all for BushCo(TM) and their continued enslavement.
so we're going fat cat fishing? i'm up for it.
-J.T.
I was joking about the gin & tonic for breakfast, but I do believe that's it's time to crack the seal.
Gyah! Reading that kind of logic is like watching... well, brains boil in hot frying pan.
" Googled him. He's being ironic." -- davids
Well, then, I say he is a resplendent ironist. Has a bright career ahead of him.
He has certainly been around these types enough to get the, uh, accent right.
1watt ... You in Australia?
I'd actually like El Gato Negro's take on this Floyd critter.
"Floyd Alvis Cooper" is a GENIUS.
For those who are still working on the sense of humour thing, here is another tract on which to practice those reading skills.
Ok - based on the further evidence of the 'valley floor' story, I'll agree he's prolly a parody.
And a realllly good one, too.
Shaw--gotta be a parody site. The person can spell.
It is anyway true that all "conservatives" are evil fucks who celebrate at the deaths of soldiers in their insane jihad. Especially John Cole.
I actually do think it's a parody. But i'm in the mood to bait.
He is the eggman.
He is the eggman
Cookoo ca choo.
At least I hope to got 'christians unite' is a parody site.
I'd actually like El Gato Negro's take on this Floyd critter.

I wanna see Floyd and Merkin Patriot face off. I think Merkin could take him.
It is anyway true that all "conservatives" are evil fucks who celebrate at the deaths of soldiers in their insane jihad. Especially John Cole.
Thers
They also talk on their cellphones while driving.

OT, I spend too much time here. Dreamed the other night that Thersites had been named to take over supervising Fitzgerald in the Plame investigation. ????????

JAC
Dunno. The all-caps and gorgeous mispellings give me the giggles.
As a CINC and a soldier, he was a failure. He was bold (maybe), but he was also incompetent.

Now that was a brilliant parody. FAC could learn from you, melior.

Silleigh
No, no, that was on NPR....
Thersites had been named to take over supervising Fitzgerald in the Plame investigation. ????????
GADS! Talk about partisan!
Bush supporters are as stupid and sociopathic as he is.
That's why they like him so much.
On another note, Bart Cop had a photo of Hillary's Senate opponent.
OH, MAN! She's got Mick Jagger lips.
I'm gonna call her "The Trout."
Bad collagen job?
It was like reading someone wrestling with their own tormented mind.
Silleigh, there is no such thing as too much time here.
Straighten up, girl.
But you know some troll is going to show up here and defend this parody.
nice, but still hasn't made me laugh as hard as the south park episode where christopher reeve is devouring fetuses.
It is anyway true that all "conservatives" are evil fucks who celebrate at the deaths of soldiers in their insane jihad. Especially John Cole.
Thers
They also talk on their cellphones while driving.
Personal hygiene is somewhat limited as well.

yep he saw some smoke coming out of an engine & bailed, leaving the co-polit to drown.
Must. Break. Connection. Must. Join. Real. World.

After Googling prior Floyd posts, I'm also convinced it was a parody.
And a good one.
Dreamed the other night that Thersites had been named to take over supervising Fitzgerald in the Plame investigation. ????????
Well...
read this.
My god, will you just look at all these losers?
Thersites had been named to take over supervising Fitzgerald in the Plame investigation. ????????
Well, then - can we get some damn indictments already.
Sheesh -- slower'n molasses.....
His masterpiece is in response to this item:
http://www.washingtonmonthly.com...5_04/
006096.php
HEALTHCARE IN AMERICA....In TNR this week, Benjamin Healy reviews Uninsured in America: Life and Death in the Land of Opportunity, which provides an up close look at what healthcare is like in America for the 40 million who lack insurance:
Rotting teeth are a consistent motif among their interviewees, and with a poignancy not often found in policy books, the authors peg tooth decay as a reliable barometer of one's employability and caste status. . . . the authors present through their subjects a laundry list of ominous examples of untreated suffering, ranging from gallbladder disease to diabetes to asthma, addressed alternately by hopeful neglect and homemade cocktails of alcohol and over-the-counter pain medication — or in the harrowing case of an Idaho man with recurring bone spurs in his feet, a power sander.
An electric sander? Now that's American can-do! Is it a belt sander, disc sander, orbital sander, or what? Oh I forgot, you're a liberal, you wouldn't know.
You know, George Washington had wooden teeth, and he only founded, oh, just the greatest country ever. You didn't hear him whining. He would have been overjoyed to have an electric sander.

That post has got to be a joke.

Sorry. Rod Serling was telling you the truth.
This is as real as it gets.
I googled him, he does rather subtle, pot-stirring parodic trolling.
Now that christiansunite! site linked by Shaw, not so subtle parody.
But damn, it is getting harder and harder to tell these days...
Uh-oh...They said the "H" word (hippies).
They're stuck in the past.
They use the same crap catch phrase to describe anyone who dares to disagree with them.
The more things change, the more right wingers stay stupid!
damn, I missed the thread below about Andrea Harris, the local wingnut who put "total shithead and damn proud of it" back into Florida Cracker.
unfortunately, self-righteous sales clerks like Andrea Harris are quite common in the Sunshine State.
there is no such thing as too much time here.
Straighten up, girl.
Dunno, Marcia. This is the SECOND dream I've had involving Thers and/or NYMary. It's like my subconscious is stalking them.

This Floyd guy should post that on a winger blog and see what happens.

Silleigh--at least you weren't dreaming you were at a family reunion with bad cooking going on--and you could smell it.
Marcia, Sally -
if we could get 'em in the ring together, we would indeed learn if someone could, in fact, die laughing.
Gawd, I love me some Merkin Patriot . . .
Silleigh, you say stalking like it's a bad thing.
Well, then - can we get some damn indictments already.
I don't mind this dragging out. It'd be nice if Rove were on trial in October of '06...
Are there prizes for parody blogs?
Or parody commentors?
If so, "Floyd" is almost as good as "Merikan Patriot" and Fergul Menhaden's "Christians Unit" blog is a riot.
The commentors on CU are barely literate.
JAC--Merkin is the blog's poet laureate.

Wolcott:
That's why I hope that Cindy Sheehan doesn't get led astray by all this publicity and go too far. No one doubts her pain, sorrow, sincerity, and commitment. But I worry that if she insists on staying in Crawford, Texas to meet the president again, Camp Casey might attracts all sorts of "undesirable elements" that could damage her cause and provoke a column from Richard Cohen of the Washington Post arguing she's in danger of losing her "credibility." And I think that we would all agree that when it comes to being the conscience of journalistic liberalism inside the Beltway, no one has a nattier beard than Richard Cohen.
Dunno, Marcia. This is the SECOND dream I've had involving Thers and/or NYMary. It's like my subconscious is stalking them.
We keep wondering who's been leaving the footprints in the butter...
Doesn't anyone think Tired Catchphrase guy is a funny parody commentor?

So Marcia--you ARE coming to be a Left Coast Woman, are you not?
Thers, thanks for the link. I'd heard the story of the replacement before (had to have something to do with that dream), but had read zero background on the new guy. This IS cheerful.
What does it mean that when it becomes impossible to distinguish between parody and real wingnut boilerplate? Does it mean spontaneous wingnut combustion and an end to this madness, finally?
Mrs. I al-J ... Tell us all about Ms. Harris. What's her story?
Eef thees "Floyd", she ees a parrrody, why does she no parrrody the weengers on their own how-joo-say "home turf" eh?
Other than the fact that they would no understand the humor, of course...
so.
But you know some troll is going to show up here and defend this parody.

I have no doubt that Floyd's day is made when someone comes along behind him and high-fives him.

First of all, there is no such thing as "too much time here" when it is 98 freaking degrees outside.

Marcia Brady ... Is that happening today? Holy crapola. Not-Mister went to Yankee Stadium today. He sat in the shade and said it was miserable. He came here afterward, took a shower, re-hydrated and has been asleep ever since. I think he's got a little heat exhaustion.

AHHHH!
Blessed relief.
It's hot on Long Island, Eli needs to be stopped, and I'm blogwhoring again

Hunting mice, which keeps him from tormenting Saff.

res--Monsieur, bless his soul, took 4 teenaged girls (13) to Warped Tour 98 in Irvine. 108 F day, and one of them fell into the mosh pit. (She was fine). Said it was one of the most miserable concerts he ever experienced, despite the excellent lineup.
And Sallyh, Eli should always be thwarted, just on principle (and for shits and giggles).
My daughter just called, happy for raindrops. I told her to hydrate.
It is all about hydration.
Your kid is over there? Wow. I haven't been out since 11 AM. I'll go out in about an hour for a bit to get Not-Mister some chow.
Did it rain? We didn't get any. Merde!
All this talk of communists is making me want to play Dr. Strangelove again, but I can't decide between it or whatever's on Scifi.

I was joking this a.m.. I have a rep.for being a lush but truthfully I have beers two or three times a week & mixed drinks two or three times a year. If you visit the hill country do it in the fall or mid spring.
Sallyh...I went to a show like that once. It was one of the Lollapaloozas (the one where Pearl Jam played). It was really hot and dusty. I was really unhappy and wound up taking a ride with someone I didn't know (VERY unusual for me as I am a big chicken) to get out of there, leaving the then-Not-Mister behind. When I got home I took a shower and the water coming off me was brown from all the dust. Never again.
Silleigh--for tax purposes.
Damn. At least write your own material moron. Paraphrasing comments by others does not make it your own.
At least he does'nt just make shit up.Like some war bloggers we know.
And NTodd, Master & Commander: The Far Side of the World with Russell Crowe was a great movie, I agree. Anyways, gotta drop them all back at the video rental, swing by and check on my cat and then scoot off to work. Catch y'all there.

Still waiting for Atrios to state his position on the issues that he criticizes, mocks, and mischaracterizes daily.
Operation: Yellow Moonbat.
Getting him to actually state a position instead of constant criticism over the positions of others. Make that, copying and pasting criticisms of the positions of others.
It looks like we will have to wait awhile.
Buried in the story about Bush driving right past Cindy Sheehan:
The White House also put out an accounting of all the meetings that Bush has had with families of the war dead - 900 relatives of 272 people who have died in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Only 1600 more families of Iraq war dead to go. Then he can get to the rest from the Afghanistan war. It's hard work!

Does anyone remember "Scoop Jackson"? It's been a year or so since I've seen a comment from him (or her). He (or she) wasn't a parody troll but was funny as hell.
Thers, thanks so much for the link about Fitzgerald's new boss. Oooh, just reading those few sentences makes me all happy inside, with visions of Karl Rove in an orange jumpsuit and handcuffs. Go get 'em Margolis & Fitzgerald, crusading prosecuting attorneys!
Margolis made his prosecutorial bones doing organized crime cases, eventually rising to Chief of the Organized Crime and Racketeering Section of the Justice Department's Criminal Division, from which position he supervised the seventeen Organized Crime Strike Forces which more or less won the war on the Mafia. Margolis has a stratospheric IQ, has been known to wear Willie Nelson t-shirts to work, is used to long investigations using somewhat edgy investigative techniques, and can't be intimidated by anybody.
I vote parody OR a seriously fucked up Ayn Rand disciple.
900 relatives of 272 people who have died in Iraq and Afghanistan.

NTodd--I agree with you that Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket is the best Vietnam war movie, and for your reasons. Kubrick had a nasty inhuman streak where he used the chess metaphor of "the lines have been played out" to describe where humans were stuck.
In 2001, he got around those lines with the reincarnation of the star-child. In Barry Lyndon, he didn't get around the lines, showing a lifetime of corruption and angling for trivial advantage and no joy.
SK was apparently a nice fellow in person, but about the bleakest artist the movies have known

And here's your "Awwww" Photo of the Day!
I have a burning question and I hope someone knows the answer:
What kind of Cheetos do trolls consume? The puffy ones, the crunchy ones, or the flaming hot ones?
He'd hunt trolls like Cog, but they taste bad and have worms.
NTodd
And then he'd leave them on the back doorstep as presents.
And *somebody* would have to clean them up.
Operation: Yellow Moonbat.
Cog still thinks "moonbat" is an insult.
That is SO last year!
Gotta go shower. My love life is really cuttin' into the blog-readin' time. (Has anyone figured out how to combine the two? Suggestions may be sent to the e-mail below.)
Along the lines of Floyd Alvis Cooper's comment.
This may not be a big deal and I haven't researched it. But it bothered me.
On the crawl at Fox news they had a matter of fact thing about Cindy Sheehan including Casey had been killed in Iarq 5 days after arriving there.
Now on CNN International I had heard it was 2 weeks. I don't know which is correct.
But the thought that ran through my mind was are they trying to insinuate he was at fault for being killed as he was a new guy who didn't know anything or so green it was his own fault
Maybe that's reading something into it but they did think it important to mention the 5 days and well knowing Fox......
"I know - they still call anti-war people "commies."
They've got it all wrong! It's commie pinko fag junkie!

That's MS. commie pinko fag junkie to these right wing assholes!!
Silleigh--best ask that of Flory. She's the business manager, you know.
Sallyh,Backstage Floozy
Wait - what'd I miss?
Questions?
(and don't think I didn't notice decisions were being made in my absence.......NTodd???)
What kind of Cheetos do trolls consume?
I think they have to try all the different flavors, to write their reviews.
Aroma: Very nice cheddar aroma, more like real cheese

Whichever ones Costco has on sale by the carton.
"900 relatives of 272 people who have died in Iraq and Afghanistan."
All carefully hand-selected, I'm sure.
HOW can these people still support this mother fucker?
Do their loved ones mean so LITTLE to them?
scout prime: no doubt you are right.
I gotta get to the Ozarks one 'a these days.
res ipsa loquitur
Anybody in the neighborhood of Salem, MO stop into the cemetary and say hello to some of my folks. Nice place.
why the fuck did they give the football player a medal when he got dead...should have sent a bill to the family for compromising the mission
/wingnut
Yeah! Mdals are only for live fuckups like Tenant...
Floyd Alvis Cooper is probably the result of a negative feedback loop, to wit: when one doesn't accept the validity of evolution, there is less stigma attached to inbreeding.

Try the porn blogs. They do live blogging better than anybody!
(and don't think I didn't notice decisions were being made in my absence.......NTodd???)
Eli's fault: he didn't read the fine print in the contract. I was just trying to protect the integrity of the band!
Damn. At least write your own material moron. Paraphrasing comments by others does not make it your own.
Cog
Oh Lord, hear my plea. Destroy him! He maketh a blight on the land!

Floyd makes a very important point.
The brits have been complaining about it for months.
Force protection means your life is worth more than anyone elses, so any time you feel the least bit threatened open fire.
The US rules of engagement are part of the problem! The brits have been trying to convince US command to use minimum force, you know the rule where you engage your brain before you start shooting so you don't kill your own guys.
You see the same rules of engagement every time the news runs a video of a bunch of cops firing wildly because someone might have had a gun.
Ugly, ugly ugly.
Parody or not...
I actually have my own personal Wingnut in my life (I'm sure we all have one in the deep corners of our extended family or in our wide and varied workplaces) who says, yes, in fact....
Those who perished in Europe in the 30's and 40's should have had the sense to get out, and yes...
Those who fell under the machete or club in Rwanda should have sought safer climates in the US long before those unfortunate few months.
And altho I haven't yet polled him on the Sheehan matter (and don't intend to) I imagine this point of view - that she should quiet down because her son should have fucking known better than to die - is well within his reach.
Most of them have some sense of how it will sound to thinking people though and they hold back, hence that feeling they have that they are somehow oppressed and can't speak their mind in this country. "Floyd" is either a jester, or someone who has that sense of self-restraint inhibited somehow, altho were a slight sense of timidity to his little observation.
If you are real, Floyd, you really shouldn't have.... Even the nuttiest among your team is going to regret that you made that statement. I've been shocked by the crassness of the Right many times, but I can't really believe anyone is going to allow something like that to become the thought of the day.
I wonder what he'd say if he didn't support the troops?
I'm watching "City Confidential" about a murder in Lynchburg, VA.
Did they really have to get comments from Fat Ass Falwell?
Exactly. It's Casey's fault for not learning how to dodge bullets/explosions/etc. Aren't soldiers required to watch The Matrix is basic training anymore?
Floyd has convinced me how wrong I have been my whole life. All those years of schooling...down the drain...
What? Trolls don't shop at Costco, that's the non-evil store.
if I was the left-wing equivalent of Michelle Maglalangadingdong, I would lift Floyd’s comment, post it on my blog, and hold it up as an example of how all right-wingers are traitors who hate our troops, freedom, and America, in about that order.
Thank goodness I’m not anything like her.
ONE OF THE COMMENTS FURTHER DOWN IS PERFECT - Golfing anyone?

Is Social Darwinism compatible with intelligent anything?
Goodness me. Casey Sheehan’s copter is struck by another copter and its his fault for dying.
What Floyd meant to say is: A true American wouldn’t be caught dead in Iraq, they’d be golfing in St Andrews.
stupid asshole.
Maybe Floyd was just launching a trial balloon? After all, it doesn't have to poll well with the people here.
Modern politics is much like determining if the sphagetti is done: throw it against the wall and see if it sticks.
Sticks = done
Polls well = use it
And I'm not kidding!
Please let him be a parody...please, please, please.
My own parody (which may come true, considering the way the wingnuts are rapidly unraveling)
is someone will say that Sheehan's son deliberately got himself killed so his mother could make a scene and try to embarrass our Beloved Leader. (Or maybe...Kerry and Michael Moore had a hand in it, too...)
BTW - Why haven't we heard more about George Allen of Virginia, who apparently joins the ranks of the Bush haters and said Bush should do the decent thing and meet with Mrs Sheenan? Or maybe I'm the only one who missed that.
Parody or not, it was a definite troll. Frankly, I am surprised it has recieved the attention it has. Giving it billing here, just because it confirms the worst you believe of your oppponent is bad.
Really bad.
According to this rationale, all those American troops who died in the battle of Iwo Jima or in the invasion of Normandy were failures 'cause they got killed in battle.
The same holds true for the Yankee soldiers who died during the Civil War.
Or the American soldiers that died during the Revolutionary War.
Why are we honoring them on Memorial Day as people who sacrified for their country, when they are obviously such losers?
Giving it billing here, just because it confirms the worst you believe of your oppponent is bad.
I disagree. It's only marginally more insane than a lot of what is out there by supposedly real, grown up Republicans in blogs and in the press.
A soldier's number one job is to stay alive? Really?
Why don't they all just desert then.
so 'Pretty Boy Floyd' is still alive.
