Nice try, RSM. But i’m not going to blame Sarah Palin for your opinionated delusionary partisan rants.

gg, RSM was not blaming Palin. We all know you are responsible, in part, for the shootings in Arizona. You are mentally ill, so you must share culpability. Were you the shooter’s accomplice?

RSM – Here’s Malkin’s impressive list, “The progressive “climate of hate:” An illustrated primer, 2000-2010″

As a progressive, I’ll accept responsibility for my side’s failure to castigate of the miscreants depicted by her (a few seem quite minor in comparison with the others, and a few are not obviously motivated from the left, but whatever . . .).

Now, I’d like to see you point to actions and statements on the Right deserving of similar aprobation for the same reasons.

I’d also point out that, earlier, you fairly noted that the left has been late to the party in condemning Kanjorski’s vitriol aimed (literally) at Rick Scott. While late, the Left has in fact been pretty unanimous in castigating the former Representative. I don’t see you or your fellow-travelers doing anything of the sort. Rather, you seem to have devoted your energies to arguing that targeting maps, “Second Amendment solutions,” M-16 target practice at campaign events (including one held by Gilford’s opponent) and the like are somehow different in kind and spirit from those issuing from wacko or irresponsible quarters on the Left.

You always complain about hypocracy and double standards directed at you and yours. Here’s your chance to demonstrate that you are indeed unhypocritical and do not adhere to your own double standards.

Over to you, RSM

You know, maybe our friends from Texas can correct me if I’m wrong, but it seems as if people didn’t start blaming George W. Bush for everything that went wrong until he actually became president. Sarah Palin is getting that treatment as a private citizen, a year and a half out of the governor’s office, and at least two years away from being president, if ever. Weapons-grade crazy.

A troll repeatedly hijacks threads for purposes of naysaying and to derogate the blog host, implying that readers of the blog are not merely wrong in their opinions, but are wrong to read the blog because they are being deceived and misled.

This blog is a commercial enterprise. Its production entails the purchasing of bandwidth, to say nothing of the hours of manpower required to research and write posts, update the sidebars and otherwise maintain the site. You are poaching the bandwidth in order to negate the entire purpose of the blog and to impugn the character of the host.

You are then, by definition, a troll. And as I’ve often said to trolls, there is nothing which prevents you from opening a Blogspot account and starting your own blog. Rather than undertake such an enterprise, however, you evidently prefer the wholly negative endeavor of trying to tear down my work.

“Adolescent name-calling,” indeed!

Replying to RSM’s testy little reply below (if you’re sorting oldest to newest):

It’s not worth arguing with you, other than to point out a couple of things:

- Yep, for you a troll is someone who doesn’t reside in your paranoid little world (and what a world it is, where, among many other tautologies, a “progressive” by definition is a fool and women are just traffic bait).

- I do thank you for helping frame that your readers “are not merely wrong in their opinions, but are wrong to read the blog because they are being deceived and misled” — I would add that some of your active syncophants are truly sick puppies.

- I also thank you for your acknowledgement that “[t]his blog is a commercial enterprise.” Although it’s more than obvious from your tip-jar-rattling, traffic-driving Rules, shameless and incessant self-promotion, and the like, it’s nice of you to lay out your real purpose here so that the innocents merely passing through are warned that you don’t really believe much of your BS, but are just trying to make a buck.

- As to “poaching” your bandwidth, get real! You yourself are constantly chortling over the enemies you’ve tangled with. You need us contrarians — or whatever you want to call us — to stoke up your acolytes (and motivate them to hit the tip-jar). See, we’re just part of the ecosystem you need to survive. But if you’re really that hard up, tell me how much I’ve cost you and I’ll mail you some cash. Seriously.

– Finally, I’d remind you of what you say as part of Rule 4 (need to make enemies): “At the same time, however, don’t confuse cyber-venom with real-world hate.” Whenever you’re particularly nasty, I go back and read that to remind myself that it’s just a (commercial) game for you. Recently, though, I’m starting to think you’re losing sight of an essential point you make: “It’s a freaking blog.”

So chill out a bit dude. Hug your kids; kiss your wife; take a stroll in the woods; go to church; talk to a counselor; whatever.

We wouldn’t want you to pull a Laughner on us.

Reply to Joe – Thanks for your post. You make my point about RSM’s acolytes perfectly.

Too long, did not read.

You seem to have confused using a shitload of words with communication.

Thus, I did not waste my precious time reading your drivel.

Ragin’ Randy – Please keep posting comments like this. You use what you think are too many words from someone you’ve decided you dislike as an excuse for not reading the post, but you’re perfectly willing to express an opinion about it anyway!

Somehow I really doubt that your time’s “precious” at all.

Keep it up dude. I’m sorta enjoying this.
