The Testicle Electrocution Was Done in the Best Possible Taste

Shorter NewsBusters: Persons of morality and integrity will always ask "what's the context?" when they hear someone gleefully ranting about genital torture.

I don't really have the time to get into this now, but that's some article over there...

[Rip adds] - Remember our friend 'blogicalthought'? He's still out there.

One has to wonder if the bloggers who continue to perpetuate this propaganda realize the average American has the resources to go back through historically cached internet sites and to research the backgrounds of the individuals who are posting? And one has to wonder if the attitude of the blogger is that the average American is basically dumb and will buy into it?
You may recognize that very comment from some other sites, as well. Apparently, the story has changed to 'Spocko and everyone who was at Eschacon are working for George Soros and Media Matters, and that's why we're all ganging up on KSFO.' I kid you not.

Yo, Soros! Where's my check, baby?
[Rip -]

UPDATE from Thers... Oh dear, the wingnuts are all a-flutter. And -- believe it or not -- along with a hearty helping of the usual paranoid tripe, Michelle Malkin actually is sensible enough to tell KSFO that they're wrong about the lawsuit and that genital torture screeds are counterproductive. There's a bit of irony there, perhaps, but credit where it's due.

FURTHER UPDATE from Thers... Whoopsie, that wasn't Malkin, but a guest poster, one See-Dubya. I am overcome with shame at the error.

Comments:
¡Holy crrrap!

That sheet ees just... meow, man.

¿joo know?

meow...

I particularly noted how they whine about lack of context, when additional context only hurts their position.

Ffffft.
 
Huh...

To be fair, he did give us a plug. Still, I fail to see how 'context' makes their rhetoric acceptable.
 
Check out the memorandum link I posted for how that NewsBusters story is playing in wingnuttia. This is a very full week for me, so I don't have time to do it justice, but there's a pretty good & funny post in all that stuff if one of yous can put it together.

I mean, when one of Malkin's guests has to be the voice of reason, you know you're in for Fun.

Also, on that troll, Rip, Corrente has a post on him...
 
Holy crap! I wouldn't have expected that in a million years. I wonder iff SeeBuya will lose his/her posting privileges over that one.

Yeah, someone at Eschaton cited the Corrente comment and when I stumbled across it at the other place it was a carbon copy. The only thing worse than a troll is a lazy troll. I'm surprised we haven't seen him here, yet.

I woke up to a nice steaming pile of troll crap on my little door step from Biologicalthought! I'm leaving his comments up on my website! It's unbelievable that anyone would be so stupid as to think that this warped text would be taken seriously by anyone who would be reading my eccentric little blog from France anyways.
I appreciated your post and I will take your advice re Mr. Spocko!
KSFO has seemed to made themselves into a lightning rod!
There is nothing so pitiful as abused whining rightwing poster children of hate!
 
There's nothing conservative about that sadistic, statist fantasy and as a conservative myself I don't like being associated with it.

Ya know, that's really one of the most heartening things I've read in a long time. I'd be happy to buy this person a drink. We might not agree on everything, but something tells me we could get along reasonably well.
