‘Too Good a Pleasure to Forego’

Posted on | March 22, 2011 | 16 Comments

The quote in the headline is from Professor Glenn Reynolds about the delicious all-you-can-eat schadenfreude smorgasbord served up by liberals since St. Hopey’s War broke out Saturday. Some people seem to have forgotten the absolute viciousness of liberals during the Bush years. Last night, while doing some research, I ran across a Byron York item about Michael Moore at the 2004 Democratic convention:

“The right wing is not where America is at,” Moore said. “Most Americans, in their heart, are liberal and progressive. It’s just a small minority of people who hate. They hate. They exist in the politics of hate.”
“They’re not patriots,” Moore said. “They’re hate-triots, and they believe in the politics of hate-triotism. Hate-triotism is where they stand, and patriotism is where real Americans stand.” . . .
“I mean, they are up at six in the morning trying to figure out which minority group they’re going to screw today,” Moore continued. “The hate, they eat for breakfast. They are going to fight and they are going to smear, and they are going to lie, and they are going to hate.”

So, yeah, when a vitriolic irresponsible cretin like Michael Moore — a guy so clueless he actually thought John Kerry would be a good president — is exposed for the complete chump he is, I’m going to do everything I can to publicize his embarrassment. And hey, did I mention I’ve got a new column today at The American Spectator?

Shortly after the first U.S. cruise missiles hit their targets Saturday, the collateral damage became apparent — not in Libya, but on the home front, where liberal credibility was shattered by President Obama’s sudden resort to military action against Moammar Gaddafi’s regime. Those who had hailed Obama’s ascent as the dawn of a new age of peace, an end to the alleged “cowboy” belligerence of the Bush years, exploded with a mixture of outrage, confusion and chagrin as their hero flung the country into war in North Africa.
None was more indignant than Michael Moore. The left-wing filmmaker had spent George W. Bush’s presidency in frothing rage at Republicans whom he accused, at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, of practicing “the politics of hate.” That same year Moore released Fahrenheit 9/11, a dubious “documentary” which portrayed Bush as a secret ally of Osama bin Laden. And in April 2008, on the eve of the crucial Democratic primary in Pennsylvania, Moore publicly endorsed Obama because, he said, “the actions and words of Hillary Clinton have gone from being merely disappointing to downright disgusting.”
Evidently, in Moore’s view, Obama’s words and actions have recently gone in the same direction. Saturday afternoon, the director unleashed a torrent of mocking messages on Twitter: “We’re going to keep bombing countries until we get it right.… May I suggest a 50-mile evacuation zone around Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize?… Bombing Libya today was like an Iraq War anniversary present to ourselves!” Indeed, in an irony not lost on Moore, the attacks on Libya by a U.S.-led coalition fell on the eight-year anniversary of the beginning of Operation Iraqi Freedom, which liberals had long cited as Exhibit A in their case against the Bush administration. . . .

Read the whole thing, because the walk-off quote is as awesome as the flavor of fresh schadenfreude.

    I just got WORD from the Lord via His Holy Spirit, which freely rendered, goes a something like this:

    “Verily, verily, I say unto you, you fucking asshole, that you are about the umpteenth thousandth douche bag to claim Special Chosen Status, which I grant ONLY to my truly anointed ones, of whom you, motherfucker, are NOT counted.”

    And then He started mumbling incomprehensibly in tongues something to the effect that you were almost as big an asshole as your big brother and rival, Rush Limbaugh Douche Bag himself.

    I will be checking out you closely though, to see for myself. Not that I doubt the Lord, in any way, but y’know like St. Thomas, I want to see your stinkmata with my own eyes.

    Re: Michael Moore

    Obviously, you can more than take care of yourself. Looking forward to having dinner with you sometime.

    I tried dining with Charles Johnson, but I was not up to the task. I then sat down with Markos Moulistas, but he blew me away and left me speechless.

    I definitely want to give my interviewing skills another potential honing, if you are up for it.

    But whatever……..I like your vibe.

    pee-you later,
