Six Days Left in Stomping Season

Manhattan and Georgetown are both a long way from Kentucky, but folks at MSNBC evidently hear hobnailed boots goose-stepping through the streets of Lexington, as the Dark Night of Fascism descends. If recent polls have any predictive utility, by midnight Nov. 2, I expect Chris Matthews to be weeping hysterically over the defeat of Alan Grayson. Keith Olbermann “Special […]

UPDATE: New Rand Paul Statement Condemns Kentucky Head-Stomping UPDATE: Stomper Tim Profitt Identified, Apologizes, Banned by Paul Campaign

Official statement: “The Paul for Senate campaign is extremely disappointed in, and condemns the actions of a supporter last night outside the KET debate. Whatever the perceived provocation, any level of aggression or violence is deplorable, and will not be tolerated by our campaign. The Paul campaign has disassociated itself from the volunteer who took […]

Man in Kentucky Head-Stomping Incident Identified as Paul Supporter Mike Pezzano UPDATE: MoveOn.org Activist Was Charged in Greenpeace Vandalism UPDATE: Rand Paul Describes ‘Crowd Control Problem’ at Event (Video)

My Kentucky conservative friend Lisa Graas reports she got an e-mail from a Tea Party activist identifying the man, and offers photographic proof. Please note that Pezzano is allegedly the man in the plaid shirt who wrestled MoveOn activist Lauren Valle to the ground, not the guy who stomped her. Meanwhile, quite predictably, I find myself accused by […]

Do the Kentucky Head-Stomp!

It’s the dance sensation that’s sweeping the nation: Lisa Graas (who experienced the frightening online wrath of Paulistas during the Kentucky GOP primary) linked this story at her blog. I’m hesitant to jump to conclusions about what actually happened in this kind of made-for-TV publicity stunt. Who were these “Rand Paul supporters” who roughed up MoveOn.org activist […]

Lisa Graas Takes on the Paulistas

Lisa Graas was the founder of PalinTwibe, a Twitter feed that supports Sarah Palin, but resigned after Palin endorsed Rand Paul. (Graas supported Christian conservative candidate Bill Johnson in the Kentucky GOP Senate primary.) Her stance made Lisa a target of Ron Paul’s supporters, whose online fury is legendary. And she has now published “A Blogger’s Guide to the Paulastinian Masturbatorium,” a glimpse […]

‘Eric Stratton, Republican Campaign Spokesman, Damned Glad to Meet Ya!’

After GQ reported on Rand Paul’s madcap, zany and possibly felonious collegiate pranks, the Republican candidate’s campaign unwisely responded with ominous argle-bargle about investigating its “legal options.” As a widely recognized New Media strategist — lots of people recognize me, and I sometimes call myself a “New Media strategist” — permit me to advise that […]

Fake Republican, Real Hate: Democrat Tries Moby ‘Racist’ Smear on Rand Paul

moby (n) — An insidious and specialized type of left-wing troll who visits blogs and impersonates a conservative for the purpose of either spreading false rumors intended to sow dissension among conservative voters, or who purposely posts inflammatory and offensive comments for the purpose of discrediting the blog in question. The term is derived from […]

Rick Pitino Discovers the Unsurprising Hazards of Screwing Crazy Women

When you’re a famous basketball coach hired for a new job, perhaps the orientation process should require that you watch a video called, “Crazy Women and Your Penis: A Bad Combination.” It is fair to stipulate that any woman who offers sexual favors to a man she just met is crazy. And when she starts doing you under the table […]
