Good Cause of the Month
I heard through the Conservative Grapevine that Michelle Malkin is finalizing her plans to go to Iraq to do some first-hand reporting: her goals are two-fold:
1) to report on how the troops perceive mainstream media coverage of the war (with a particular focus on the wire services relying on local stringers); and
2) to report on progress and interaction between U.S. troops and Iraqi Army trainees.
Some of the commenters in a previous post seemed taken aback that I bragged about using money from Blogads to take a beach vacation. As I mentioned, the additional Blogads revenue I made to take my wonderful vacation was made possible, in part, by extra traffic from links from lefty bloggers such as Glenn Greenwald and Alicublog. (Thanks again, boys!) However, after considering that maybe the commenters were correct, that I should be giving the money to good causes and not spending it all on myself, I decided to take their advice to heart and donate some of my revenue to my favorite right-leaning causes, starting with a check I just mailed to Hot Air to help pay for Michelle's trip to Iraq--I hope they will put it towards extra security.
Perhaps every once in a while, I will find a right-leaning or libertarian cause that I believe in and send some of the proceeds from the Blogad revenues their way. It's a good feeling, knowing that I am helping to make the world a better place and that every person--trolls included--coming to this blog will help to contribute in some small way. Thanks everyone!

I notice both you and Althouse have taken to referring to the Jewish men that you disagree with as ... "boys".
Just curious why, as I thought this was a no-no slur. Or is it only slurring them if you use both words "jew boys" together?
Not trying to be provocative, but it jumped out at me when Althouse defended herself this way against Adler, Levy, Drezner and Goldberg, and now I see you doing it here against Greenwald.
Am I missing something? Have there been pc updates that make this type of offense minimal now, or is it because you are both women that this is now allowed?
You're welcome on helping finance Malkin's "fact finding" mission, btw.
Remember: it doesn't take "extra" money for people to give to causes helping soldiers (not sure if Malkin's mission really qualifies in this way).
If you have a shared sense of sacrifice, you can be contributing daily at some level predetermined by your personal budget -- save up this fund and donate it to a cause you have researched and determined can really help people there, as opposed to just giving the "leftovers" from your beach holidays and side projects to finance a project that you (and your husband) likely will link to to grow your blog.
It's good, at this late stage in the game, that you're connecting talking and putting your money where your mouth is though. I imagine lots of people think Glenn must be feeling both guilty and embarrassed for having done so much to cheerlead this administration.

I call them "boys" because they act like kids throwing tamtrums instead of grown-ups, I really didn't know that they were both Jewish. Sorry if I am not following all the PC updates, they change frequently, you know.

Let me know when leftists show some remorse for the tens of millions killed by the men they supported, like Stalin, Ho Chi Minh, Castro, Kim Il Sung, Mao, and Che.
Funny how they lionize murderers that say the right "socially concious" stuff, and condemn those who seek to free nations from tyrants.
I'd be surprised if the insta-husband is concerned over what "lots of people" anonymously quoted think he should be feeling.
"Have there been pc updates that make this type of offense minimal now...?"
anonyboy said
So you think everyone gets p.c. updates just because your speech-controlled flock-o-juveniles does, anonyboy?
Take a walk to the Forbidden Zone, you "porch monkey". [Clerks II]
Good one, J. Peden: "anonyboy." That says it all.
And I am delighted that Dr. Helen is taking money made from such people and doing things that (i) she likes and (ii) they hate.
Of course, the anonyboys COULD start their own blogs and try to do something constructive. After all, they have a lot of free time to try to needle others!
I call them "boys" because they act like kids throwing tamtrums instead of grown-ups, I really didn't know that they were both Jewish. Sorry if I am not following all the PC updates, they change frequently, you know.
Well, I don't follow the pc updates either if that is what you are implying. I don't read either Greenwald or the acliublog (which I am guessing has something to do with the ACLU?) But I do know the jewboy slur. Many people still associate the ACLU with "Jewish". I am guessing Greenwald might be and ethnically Jewish name (not sure of her religion).
Since I read neither of those blogs -- I only see you here continually taunting them as "boys". I know your whole professional promo is based on "boys" v "girls" so at first I just figured you were regressing to that kind of simplicity.
But now I'm not so sure. Why not say "kids" instead of "boys" if it's just the alleged juvenile behavior you are taunting. (and I understand such taunting, posting of personal pictures, and creating controversy helped grow other blogs that you appear to be imitating as a "woman blogger". You are positioning yourself in this special niche, not just as another blogger but as a female blogger right?
That's why I asked the question, particularly when I saw Althouse doing the same thing recently in "fighting back". I never saw anyone call you a JAP here (assuming you're ethnically Jewish from the Hannukah post).
I find it suspicious that two prominent women bloggers just suddenly latch on to the "boy" slur when involved in public online disputes with Jewish male bloggers is all. Perhaps others have read your stuff here and wondered the same thing?
Stick with "kids" the next time you want to be immature and taunt to get hits. As a woman working online also, the "boy-girl" thing seems juvenile to me and wish you ladies wouldn't use that kind of tactic for your own ends as it affects us all. As a non-Jew, I'm always unclear about how some slurs are acceptable from some, yet otherwise questionable.
Just some food for growth...
WV: veiss
"j peden" and "eric blair" don't jump out at me as Jewish men's names. Yet their comments here surely can be classified as "immature".
Do you call them boys too, or is that only reserved for the Jewish surnames of more prominent bloggers you can benefit by feuding with?
Sometime 1 plus one adds up to 2.
WV: hzerr
Flypaper's still working, Doc. Keep sucking them in!
Wait a minute. Glenn Greenwald was all about "sockpuppeting": posting multiple times, a few minutes apart, claiming to be different people.
Sounds familiar.
I see nobody's discussing the substance of the "jew boy" insult. Instead, they speculate anyone objecting must be a Jew. Or Greenwald himself.
Pity. Might have had an interesting discussion on the slurs we choose.
Anonymous 7:23:
From looking at Kos and Democratic Underground, I thought anti-semitism was chic on the left now, so what's your point?
And nobody's called anyone a "jew boy" but you.
Sort of reminds me of Annie Hall, where Woody Allen is convinced that Hollywood is full of anti-Semites because they said to him: "D'ju have lunch yet?"
Dr. Helen, right on: funny how our Leftie friends think that other people are anti-Semites, when I read all kinds of anti-Semitic stuff on DU and DK. Projection?
This "jewboy" meme is one of the most retarded things yet to appear in the comments section of this blog (and that's saying something given the depravity of some of the Doc's trolls). Only a professional victim and loser could possibly make that connection. As much as Althouse may be a bit of a prima dona and a liberal-in-denial, I cannot beleive that she or the Doc has an AntiSemitic hair on their respective heads. If you want jew-hatred, try DemocraticUnderground - and search on Lieberman.
Get. A. Life.
Oh well - now off to listen to Kinky Friedman and the Texas ***Boys.
And nobody's called anyone a "jew boy" but you.
Oh Helen. I realize you did not go to law school, but I thought your logic and reasoning was better. I merely observed your choice of words.
My sympathies lie with the men on this side of the dispute; you look shabby for calling them "boys", and I wondered if it was seemingly related since you don't call immature commenters "boys", yet there is a tendency to do this with Jewish men who have legitimate views that don't fall lockstep with yours.
Instead, you latch on thinking you are going to use my observations against me. Heh.
I sure hope you have a boxful of personal photos and stories to share here; your logic and intelligent discussion surely isn't going to sustain interest. How many times can you pull the "Girls rule, Boys drule" post and be expected to be taken seriously? Sure instalumpy will link still you (and probably the pajamas crew), but I don't see you earning any independent hits from those who really enjoy discussing and debating ideas for the sake of it -- often, Jewish men.
It's too bad you're so wrapped up in your woman victimhood and defensive point-scoring here that you can't see that. Enough with the "boys" label, eh?
WV:ygmejew
Maybe you folks should stop doing so much reading at those anti-semitic sites then? I don't read there, so I can't respond to your charges that "boy" has no weight compared to the slurs there.
Funny how so many are jumping on here to defend you, though. I can guarantee you I'm not the first one to read the "boy" insult that way. And if you've never heard it before, good for you for your innocence.
PS. You don't generally want to insult black men by calling them "boy" either (baggage there too) or by shortening there names. If it's Michael or Randall, don't assume you can call them Mike or Randy; it's a cultural respect thing that many prefer to use their formal name, and not be "boyified" with more familiar terms. Hth.
This "jewboy" meme is one of the most retarded things
They just don't see it, eh?
Interesting the slurs we choose.
I didn't know how these blog things worked in terms of revenue. If I had known that hitting this site would generate income for you I would never have come to this site. You will not earn another dime off of me after this hit, hopefully my fellow liberals will join me and stop putting money in your pocket.
Ridiculing your IQ, ultra passive-aggressive behavior and desperate need for attention were the only reason to come here, but I had no idea you made money from it.
I can't believe I helped pay for your vacation, What a piss-off!
Please be a patriot and join Malkin in Iraq, soon! Like tomorrow.
I feel good about contributing my dimes here actually.
Like it's a special fund in case someone drops dead of heart disease by 50 (happens when you ignore the signs and are better at talking than actually doing)
My sympathies are serious actually: if the war effort continues like this, and the mood of the people cannot be denied, then it might not be such a good thing to be an "Insta" on the losing side politically. Look at Limbaugh and the health problems he's had. I do worry about your family and the corrosive effects of bipartisanship and an absolute conviction that you are always right about everything.
You can see already how such poison affects thinking and reasoning skills. Not to mention our country's standing in the world. This too will pass. Enjoy your time on the "top" of the pile. Heh
Dear WV:ygmejew:
I am a Jew.
I did go to law school.
I have been insulted (and worse) by real Jew-haters; certainly enough to know a real anti-Semite from a figment of your paranoid imagination.
Despite being in my 30s I do not take umbrage at the term "boy", though I can see how some (especially African Americans) might.
Calling Glenn Greenwald (and his little sock-puppets too!) a "boy" is more than he deserves - "child" or "cry baby" would be more apt.
"j peden" and "eric blair" don't jump out at me as Jewish men's names. Yet their comments here surely can be classified as "immature".
anon
But if I was Jewish, then you *could* be calling me a "Jewboy" by saying my post was "immature", eh, anon? That's your own perverted logic, no? Since "immature" can also be taken as "boy" and I could certainly presume to know your evil intent, just as you have presumed to know everyone's by your intractable obsession with pc - its fixation upon word use and thus finding in everyone else your own bigotry by virtue of your paranoid word-game manipulations.
So nice work, you obsessive, perverted, paranoid, porch monkey, anonyboy projectionist. And why else would Dr. Helen have to agree with your own ideas on just who is "immature", you malignant narcissist, you.
Anonymous 8:42:
You brought up some interesting questions. I particularly like that you draw a contrast between the way Helen refers to men bloggers who think differently from her as "boys," and the way she treats the boys who frequent her comments. The bloggers get derision and the commenters get respect. Go figure.
However, when you said, "How many times can you pull the 'Girls rule, Boys drule' post and be expected to be taken seriously?" you were way off the beam. Helen's theme here is not that girls rule, it is that women are bad for men. Except for her, of course. She shoots guns and uses words like "tit," so that makes her something special.
Gee, anon 9:05, that must have sounded much better in front of your mirror, I would suppose. The fit must have been perfect.
"Helen's theme here is not that girls rule, it is that women are bad for men."

Right. I think you need to sue Head Start, anon.
When lefties lose an argument, they call the winner a bigot, even if they have to make things up.
More evidence in this thread.
Despite being in my 30s I do not take umbrage at the term "boy", though I can see how some (especially African Americans) might.
Good job, boy, explaining what I was asking. OK for Jews now, but not for blacks. Got it, boy.
"Peedin pants" -- safe to call you boy too, then? (Everyone just skips over the adjectives, you know. Don't bother wasting your time.)
"Good job, boy, explaining what I was asking. OK for Jews now, but not for blacks. Got it, boy."
anon
Yet another plaintiff for the Head Start suit, I presume? Or is it the same one? Oh well, they all sound the same to me and answer to the same name -perhaps somewhat remeniscent of Androids, eh what?
Ah, to think, a class action suit on behalf of the anonymoi boys and girls of Head Start, and its Universities, against the very Program which created these dazed Mutants. But, otoh, I don't think the Program ever promised anything other than a perfectly opaque, amorphous yet manipulable, nonentityship to its blank slate fledglings, did it?
This is the lamest thread I've ever come across. Trying to turn Dr. Helen's comment into a slur is beyond ridiculous.
If you have a shared sense of sacrifice, you can be contributing daily...
Your daily shared sacrifice contribution has been precisely what?
I'm sure you can see that I'm trying to provide your argument with some "moral authority" here.

I'm glad Michelle is coming over here to get our view on how badly the U.S. media (and other major media outlets) wants us to loose. Although I'd like to meet her, I'm more glad to be coming home in a few days. Thanks for supporting her, Helen.
What a weird and idiotic troll.
But, hey, if his hits get extra money to Malkin, plus lead to more beautiful vacation photos of Dr. Helen, plus keeps a nutter off the streets, it's all good in the end.
Why is this such an issue? Blogging takes time and effort to voice informed and intellegent content. Most SERIOUS bloggers are passionate about their oppinions and causes, however most dedicate this amount of time because it is another income source. It is her right to use this income for pleasure, reading between the lines it sounds as though the ones with the issue are envious. My husband just embarked on the blogging world a few months ago and my hope is his will have as much success as Dr. Helen's one day. Congratulations!
wifeofablogger:
I hope your husband enjoys blogging as much as I do. Despite (and sometimes, because of) the trolls, it is a lot of fun and there are some very fine people who come by to engage in real discussions of issues that can change the way one thinks and views the world.
Jealous, much? Glenn Greenwald is an eminently successful blogger whose posts are engraved on the doors to the Senate Chamber. His book, "How Would a Patriot Use Sockpuppets to Defeat Bushitler" was a New York Times bestseller with no help at all in the form of bulk purchases from lefty action groups. Politicians vie for his endorsements, and tremble at his wrath. It's always amusing when you right-wing pundits make fun of me, I mean him, as a way of trying to build yourself up. Good DAY, ma'am.

If it doesn't take too long, maybe someone could teach him "lose" from "loose". Al that pussy he's gonna be gettin after all, comes only if the loose women know "win" from "lose". But why so eager to come home without a win? Don't you soldiers and right wingers want to win over there, or are you just content to do your time and get out? Just running out the clock??
I can understand the $10000 signing bonuses can buy some loyalty, but it would suck if they see this fight as a money making venture, like we suspect the leaders do.
You don't get to go into OT in a football if the score isn't tied up, right? Let's win the game in regulation guys, tie it up soon and fight on, or quit paying long after we've lost the game, pretending its a neverending thing.
I suspect many many strong Americans share my thoughts. Despite the pretty cheerleaders, the game is won or lost on the field, and its not an indefinite thing. Didn't you guys understand the rules going in ??
PS to specialops looser:
Most good players learn to block out the fans, or non fans, in the stands.
Your performance over there -- win or lose -- has more to do with ... your performance and leadership than what the fans want to happen.
Blaming the crowd in the stands looking on for not "supporting" you enough to win... *meow meow Kitty want a saucer to drink out of?*
Accept responsibility for the performance of your job. Maybe the other side just had better fighters and wanted it more, plus there's always that home-team advantage. Keep your heads up, but be realistic about what you've "achieved" and don't let the cheerleaders distort how the game's really played, eh? Indeed
Reading these anonymous comments makes you very proud, doesn't it, friends? To me it is a little sad. The anonymous posters won't even use a specific name, so they can hide behind other anonymous posters.
Normally, not a big deal. But when attacking others for not being brave and carrying on about how soldiers "ought" to be, they might consider not being anonymous.
How many times can you pull the "Girls rule, Boys drule" post and be expected to be taken seriously?
What blog are you reading? You're certainly not reading this one.
Anonymous 10:20 AM, you're a boy. Boy is a term for men who exhibit a certain petulant and haughty type of immaturity.
"Don't you soldiers and right wingers want to win over there, or are you just content to do your time and get out? Just running out the clock??"
Actually, I'm in special operations command, so my deployments come in flurries of a few months at a time. I will conclude my fourth tour of duty in OIF/OEF (I go all over the CENTCOM Area of Operations). I'll be back for my 5th tour in a few months. After I "run out the clock" and "hurry back", I'll take some leave, spend a few days with family, then train.
And train. And some more training. I'm going to jump out of a perfectly good airplane to stay current in my Airborne status. Then I'll train some more.
When the training is done, and I'm all trained up in new equipment and enemy tactics - I'll go back. It has to do with this thing we have in the Army called 'orders'. You can look that up at wikipedia.
And yes, by the way, this libertarian soldier wants to win. He even left his safe and comfy office job in the IT field to help America win by enlisting Active duty.
"PS to specialops looser:"
Wow, you made a funny with my name. I give up, you win the debate!
"Most good players learn to block out the fans, or non fans, in the stands."
Even with Iraq being an out of control war zone with stuff blowing up, violence around every corner, mass hysteria - We have plenty of time to relax, talk politics and watch the various news programs that AFN (American Forces Network) shows over here. We watch MSNBC, CNN, FOX, CBS evening news, ABC evening news, and NBC evening news. There is even the interweb here!
So in between committing atrocities and offending or valuable allies the French, it is nice to see what is going on back home.
"Your performance over there -- win or lose -- has more to do with ... your performance and leadership than what the fans want to happen."
This isn't a game with fans. This is deadly serious. This is about ending a violent ideology that wants to kill me. And if you make us leave before we are done, it will embolden the jihad and more people will die. Eventually they'll come for anyone who doesn't convert to Islam. Are you a Muslim? Then you'll be ok I guess.
"Blaming the crowd in the stands looking on for not "supporting" you enough to win... *meow meow Kitty want a saucer to drink out of?*"
We fight at the pleasure of America. We all vote for people, those people vote on a resolution to remove Saddam, we go remove him.
But it is nice to get supported, and not spit upon like the vets of Vietnam had to endure from the pinkos and dip-shits back in the 60's and 70's.
"Accept responsibility for the performance of your job. Maybe the other side just had better fighters and wanted it more, plus there's always that home-team advantage."
We've won every single engagement against these "better fighters". We have the best medical care ever fielded, with amazing battlefield trauma care. Historically low casualty rates for an operation of this size, as well as very high morale. It doesn't matter to you though, does it?
Sure, Iran and Syria can continue to pay Iraqis to shoot mortars at us and blow up IED's, as to win media victories in America; in reality these brave "insurgents", "militants" and "gunman" hardly stand and fight.
When they do, they die.
"Keep your heads up, but be realistic about what you've "achieved" and don't let the cheerleaders distort how the game's really played, eh? Indeed"
I think the US military and our allies have done a damn fine job. If you don't agree, again, that is your right.
You can continue to hate me, in you want, and the president. In the end, we will only loose in Iraq because true story isn't being told, and America pulls the carpet from under the new Iraqi's government right as it is learning to stand on its own.

Wow, the pussy referneces.... so where did a little civilian get all this insight into masculinity - the Vince Lombardi School of Sports As Susbstitute for Manhood? This isn't a game, BOY. This is a democracy trying to defend itself, and the opinion of the citizens, not "fans" but citizens (I'm not going to explain the concept to you; life is literally too short.)
matter in a democracy. They matter if only because they make the substantive decision on whether to continue a war. See how that works? See why that matters?

Dr. Helen-
Shame on you for entertaining any guilt feelings at all! The money was earned by your honest efforts, and it is appropriate that this income enriches your life as your efforts enrich the lives of your visitors. Re-read "Atlas Shrugged". Now. That's an order.
By the way, you seem to attract a most remarkable variety of troll. I especially admire their ability to free associate with your words, attributing to you thoughts never expressed, then to take offense. LOL
this isnt related to this post. But i've been reading through your archives and you seem to be concerned about the collective funk that american men seem to be falling into. What are your thoughts on this: http://health.yahoo.com/news/168226 . I've read accounts of people with insufficient levels of testosterone who have replacement therapy and it really seems to help them get their drive back, both sexual and otherwise.
Not neccasarily that replacement therapy is the answer, but just that the dropping testosterone levels are probably related to whats going on. It could be that there are environmental toxins damaging men. Or it could be related to the fact that men are constantly being browbeated and demeaned. I've read that testosterone can drop signifigantly when a man is fired or when he starts at a new school and is feeling uncertain about his future.
Admittedly, teenage boys probably have lots and lots of testosterone and they're still having problems. But I think the testosterone thing may well be an important part of the broader problem. Im not an endocrinologist or psychologist, i just sort of made this connection while reading through your archives.
Anonymous 11:39:
Good point, there are some experts such as Leonard Sax who thinks that environmental toxins are playing a part in men being "unmotivated". My take: it's like "Atlas Shrugged." Some men are rebelling against the male bashing and demeaning culture that stigmatizes masculinity by dropping out of the rat race that demands they shoulder many burdens and responsibility without much in the way of rewards. Why continue to do that?
"...the male bashing and demeaning culture that stigmatizes masculinity..."
Kinda reminds me of the "Man's Prayer" from [url=http://www.redgreen.com/]"The Red Green Show"[/url]: "Oh Lord, I'm a man... But I can change... If I have to... I guess."
No links in comments?
Dr. Helen:
I bumped into this blog by accident (looking up calcification, of all things) and found myself reading through comments, etc.
Interesting, and fun. I am conservative and a believer in our nation and our military. Added in case some trolls of some sort need more targets. I loved the "free association" comments. What a hoot! Also consider me a brand new fan of specialopsdude.
Concerning the photo of you driving the boat......in that particular photo, you look (to me) like a cross between Andie McDowell and Sean Young. Not a bad combo!
I lived in Johnson City for about a dozen years, and miss the hills of Tennessee terribly. Flat lands are boring.I have bookmarked this blog site, planning to return from time to time. Also a Michelle Malkin fan.
br549,
What a strange way to find a blog. Glad you stuck around. I must say that one of the things I enjoy most about writing here is the wide range of blog comments--from very sincere and kind hearted comments to personal insults, name calling and paranoia--for the trolls, it is like a Rorschach card and flypaper trap rolled into one. As a psychologist, I find it rather fascinating which is one reason, I hesitate to moderate comments. However, I am not a fan of negative comments to military personnel here. Luckily, most of them can take care of themselves. In addition, it is good to have blogs where military people can come on and have their say.
That might not be such a good thing to rely on the trolls for blog hits.
And the soldiers as heroes myth is only good for so long too. Glenn has made enough money off that one already indeed
"And the soldiers as heroes myth..."
It is by their sacrifices alone that you have the freedom to be such an [incredibly offensive epithet redacted].
I am mildly entertained by the latitude of the comments on this blog but lets be honest, these comments don't represent a 'conservative' viewpoint---the conservative/liberal dichotomy is fallacious and is a double-minded facade. Most liberals don't even know why they describe themselves as liberal or where the term comes from---as such they are useful idiots. The conservatives now only preserve the mean as defined by the plurality so they are not truly conservatives but facilitators of the slipping mean.
For myself, I would like to see every woman responsible for the 80 million abortions since 1973 to be brought up on charges for crimes against humanity in the Haugue. What would that make me in the never-ending high school appellation game?
Wrong Richard.
The Iraqi occupation has zero to do with America's First Amendment.
Tell that to all the "heroes" desperately seeking a purpose now that they know they've been lied to. And pity those who don't know it yet.
I made no reference to Iraq. You smear all of our military personnel because of their current mission. That's incredibly stupid and short sighted. Populations without the will to defend themselves become slaves.
Dear Mr. Blaine:
Please remember that we have one lonely underemployed Starbucks fellow---probably a sociology major in college---who has bought into every "progressive" cliche that has ever been generated. This character has decided that he has nothing better to do with his time than to irritate other people on this blog.
He is sockpuppeting like crazy so that we think that there are plenty of people posting with his point of view.
This lonely fellow is just trying to get you irritated, not engage you in debate.
You are of course correct: there is nothing more immature than a person who criticizes this country and ALSO criticizes the armed forces that protect their right to be a jackass.
"-I hope they will put it towards extra security."
What would she need that for? Everyone who knows the real story and doesn't fall for MSM lies knows Baghdad is no more dangerous than Philadelphia. Please quit feeding the "Iraq is dangerous" meme of the lefties.
I wish all the doomsayers would just pipe down. As soon as our troops capture Uday and Qusay the situation over there will turn right around, and the world will see the wisdom of President Bush's brave war.
Mission accomplished ?
Yes, mission accomplished.
Helen and Glenn got to tan their white hides for one week. Mission accomplished. lol
I agree with melior, though we will really win once we get their Dad, the Ultimate Bad Guy, Saddam! That will really whow those islaomfascistlibtards once and for all. Bush Wins if that happens. Do you suppose they will hang him? And then can we get the f out of there?
Am not sure Michelle will need the money for extra protection. Iraq is doing just fine, its the MSM that is responsible for the negative perceptions.
Michelle should spend the money you sent to pay the difference from the standard sedan rental at the airport and get instead a convertible, driver that around Iraq. That will teach those liberals a lesson! If Michelle can pull this stunt, with no security, it will finally shut them up.
I think it's great that hicks from TN with no real credentials, who are continually wrong about everything can make it in America. Ditto with Malkin. And it's actually inspiring me to start warblogging.
1. Pay can be good.
2. No need for facts.
3. No need to apologize for errors.
4. No credentials, degrees, or reputation needed.
Thinking my post might be something really provocative. Like human shredders. Maybe some links to some cameras. When I'm really feeling frisky, I'll go into man-machine hybrids.
Yea, that's it.
A most remarkable troll.
Anonymous 2:32:
And yet, here you are--trapped on flypaper--on the blog of a "hick from TN" instead of using your time out in the real world causing trouble. It seems my plan is working. Tell me exactly what credentials are needed to waste the time of trolls such as yourself here and make money at it too?
from looking at Kos and Democratic Underground, I thought anti-semitism was chic on the left now, so what's your point?
Listen up, you quack. If had have any regard for your professional credibility, you would either support serious accusations such as this with actual evidence or refrain from making them.
Good lord, you're a disgrace.
AHAHHAHAHA!
I'm sorry how many factual mistakes are there in Malkin's books? Has kind of a history of ignoring inconvenient truths that one.
Yes, the crazy racist with a very specific and narrow agenda will find the truth! Of course the truth you want is “Dear Leader’s wise actions have saved Iraq and the world but his enemies in the mainstream media won’t let you know because they hate America so!”
Wingnuts grasping at straws, so sad and funny all at once.
Hey miss Perfesser if you have any money left over I have a buddy in Nigeria who’s looking for clever investors such as yourself.
Ah, that's right. "Salvage" is all about sophisticated discourse. A look at his website and its continual sneers and shrieking venom makes you want to wipe the spittle off the screen.
Jeez, fella. You can still be a committed progressive leftist without being a jerk, you know. "Perfessor" and the like simply takes away from the value of any of your arguments and makes your look childish, not smart.
But hey, don't let me stop you from diluting the strength of your own arguments!
Anonymouse
Oh dear, oh dear, I’m not being civil enough to your taste? That fills me with gallons of shame.
Actually no. Michelle Malkin is a lying racist slime and anyone who gives her anything is a supporter of lying racist slime and deserves no consideration whatsoever.
Furthermore I’m not arguing anything, there’s nothing to argue. Malkin is a confirmed racist and a proven liar and thus, IMNSHO, a slime. My snarkyness is neither here nor there in regards to the facts.
Of course you are free to have your own opinion about the slime part; perhaps you like racist liars I don’t pretend to know.
Gosh. I just went over your blog, Salvage.
You really are quite manly, saying "fuck" in practically every post. It also shows your general level of sophistication. True, I felt like you were spitting in rage during each post, but I suppose it was therapeutic for you. It is also true that you get very few comments on your blog, which must be why you come here to gibber on.
I don't care if you cuss like a syphilitic sailor, but it sure doesn't help you spread your message of tolerance and understanding. And it really doesn't make you look very mature, but again, you don't seem to care much about that.
But here is something, seriously, that I would like you to consider. If you are ever wrong about something you write---proven wrong by more information, etc.---are you then a "liar"?
Don't start shrieking and flinging poo like a chimpanzee about Michelle Malkin. Just think about it.
And on the subject of racism, do you think---if I scour your website or over on Technorati---that I will ever find any commentary from you about Michelle Malkin that refers nastily to her gender or ethnicity?
You know I will, right?
How does that NOT make you a "racist"?
I'm not arguing with you about Michelle Malkin, even though I know you will post a long vulgarity laced reply about her many awful and horrible sins. As I say, I don't care about Michelle Malkin. I'm simply suggesting that you apply your own criteria for criticizing her...to yourself.
Now, perhaps you have never been wrong in any of your posts. And perhaps you have never, ever said anything nasty about Michelle Malkin's gender and ethnicity.
But I doubt it.
No, what I generally see, my potty-mouthed friend, is that folks like you have two sets of standards. One harshly critical set for your political opponents and one kind and understanding set for great people like yourselves.
There is a word for people like that.
Sure you can hate whomever you like. You can cuss and carry on. But it does amuse me to think that you represent the tolerant and understanding Left.
I do hope you get more interest in your own blog.
Doc,
An easy way to eliminate trolls is to enforce registration. I did that about three years ago, and my life has been all the better for it.
Funny how anonymity is the hiding-place for childish agression, isn't it?
(Oh, and I can't wait for the next anonymous troll to make fun of my name. That hasn't happened to me since... this morning. How original.)
Oh, and I forgot... it's a classic ploy of liberals to suggest how YOU should use YOUR OWN money.
That's because they believe that money is not private property, but the property of the State, to be distributed and re-distributed by the State because, after all, they know better than you how to use your (earned) money.
PLEASE spend your BlogAds money frivolously, if only to make ME laugh at their angry, impotent howls.
Dear Mr. du Toit:
Not all of the "anonymous" people here are trolls and nasty people. I have good reasons (having to do with employment) for using a pseudonym.
But you are quite right about the others, and perhaps registration is the right path to go. I just won't be able to post comments...and maybe that is fine, too.
I have followed your blog and posts over the past few years, and I respect you and your writing very much. Please do not think that all anonymous posters are cowardly or craven.
As for people making fun of names....well, I know how you feel, shall I say.
Let me know when leftists show some remorse for the tens of millions killed by the men they supported, like Stalin, Ho Chi Minh, Castro, Kim Il Sung, Mao, and Che.
----
Whenever you have the chance to post that historical evidence that Castro killed "tens of millions of people" feel free to put it up.
Yes, and because Isaac Newton figured out the mathematical formulae for gravity, he is completely responsible for everyone who has ever fallen off a building.
Good scientific method.
Kim du toit:
I like the way your blog is set up to keep out trolls and I might go to registration at some point. However, I am a psychologist and as such, find the free association in the blog comments very interesting at times. At some point, the idiocy and nastiness will lose its interest to me and become just what it is, people behaving poorly on the internet, but until then, comments are open. I also have some readers who are academics and others employed in places where they fear some retaliation if they post under their own name, etc. and I can respect that. I do not respect the nastiness of some of the trolls who come on this site, but the increased revenues are one way that I feel reimbursed for their tackiness. I do spend the money on myself, on all kinds of luxury items etc. but I also enjoy giving some of it to right-leaning causes that I believe in and will likely continue to do so. Thanks for your feedback.

「朵朵小語‧優美的眷戀在這個世界上，最重要的一件事，就是好好愛自己。好好愛自己，你的眼睛才能看見天空的美麗，耳朵才能聽見山水的清音。好好愛自己，你才能體會所有美好的東西，所有的文字與音符才能像清泉一樣注入你的心靈。好好愛自己，你才有愛人的能力，也才有讓別人愛上你的魅力。而愛自己的第一步，就是切斷讓自己覺得黏膩的過去，以無沾無滯的輕快心情，大步走向前去。愛自己的第二步，則是隨時保持孩子般的好奇，願意接受未知的指引；也隨時可以拋卻不再需要的行囊，一路雲淡風輕。親愛的，你是天地之間獨一無二的旅人，在陽光與月光的交替之中瀟灑獨行...................
