Brett Baier reads the following:
“Putting things in perspective: March 21st 2010 to October 1 2013 is 3 years, 6 months, 10 days. December 7, 1941 to May 8, 1945 is 3 years, 5 months, 1 day. What this means is that in the time we were attacked at Pearl Harbor to the day Germany surrendered is not enough time for this progressive federal government to build a working webpage. Mobilization of millions, building tens of thousands of tanks, planes, jeeps, subs, cruisers, destroyers, torpedoes, millions upon millions of guns, bombs, ammo, etc. Turning the tide in North Africa, Invading Italy, D-Day, Battle of the Bulge, Race to Berlin – all while we were also fighting the Japanese in the Pacific!! And in that amount of time – this administration can’t build a working webpage.”
All you’re really saying is that the Tea Party-Bush-Cheney Axis is worse than Imperial Japan, Nazi Germany & Fascist Italy combined.

Maryland: The Crazy State
Posted on | November 10, 2013 | 25 Comments
Thursday, I asked that you go hit Jeff Quinton’s tip jar after he was the target of a crazy act of retaliation by disgruntled Maryland Republicans. Jeff has a wife and baby at home and, believe it or not, things got even crazier Friday — and I mean, criminally crazy.

Unspeakable Evil: Planned Parenthood Obstructs Child Rape Investigation
Posted on | November 10, 2013 | 91 Comments
When I first heard this, I couldn’t believe it, but it’s true. Last year, a 31-year-old illegal immigrant named Luis Gonzalez-Jose raped an 11-year-old girl who became pregnant. The man took the girl to a Planned Parenthood clinic where he pretended to be her father and told the staff the girl had been impregnated by her 14-year-old boyfriend.
The clinic performed the abortion and when the police began investigating the rape, the clinic refused to cooperate with the detective, insisting that he get a court order. This is insane.
Furthermore, the girl’s family refused to cooperate with prosecutors and, as the result of a plea bargain, the monster who raped this little girl will serve only six years in prison. Words fail.
The Schmalfeldtian Fantasy
Posted on | November 10, 2013 | 33 Comments
After John Hoge asked the Court to enforce its peace order against deranged cyberstalker Bill Schmalfeldt, the latter decided he had not yet shown sufficient contempt of court, as Hoge explains:
He began tweeting to me within an hour-and-a-half of the judge’s ruling on the 16th, and he’s kept it up. . . .
So how has the Cabin Boy responded? He’s begun tweeting to me at an even greater rate.
Potential penalties are mounting, and why? Most likely because Schmalfeldt believes no judge would actually order him arrested.
Every time bad things happen to Bill Schmalfeldt, he starts whining about what a helpless pitiful dying invalid he is and, having played the Pity Card over and over for so long, he seems to think he’s holding the trump card in the deck. Maybe he’s right.
On the other hand, the Maryland Court of Appeals rejected Schmalfeldt’s appeal of the peace order, didn’t it? And sympathy has its limits. Schmalfeldt tried to solicit advice from Ken White, and the Popehat proprietor’s reply was memorable for its arid acidity:
Moreover, I think my ability to be an effective advocate for Mr. Schmalfeldt is compromised, and could be questioned, because he has posted a fantasy about me being murdered, apparently because he is angry that I offered pro bono assistance to Patrick Frey in a First Amendment suit. Though I think his murder fantasy ultimately did not constitute a true threat that could be subject to criminal or civil sanction, I think his intent was to threaten me over my pro bono work on behalf of someone he doesn’t like, and that he would have been very happy if someone had murdered me in reaction to him encouraging them to do so and posting my office address. That may not have been a likely result of his post, given his limited (in every sense of the word) readership, but it was a possibility, and one I suspect he relished. That would make it unreasonably difficult for me to be effective on his behalf.
Let’s remember what Popehat said in in August: “Schmalfeldt . . . is closest to his sweaty-palmed Happy Place when he is describing degradation of others.” And why is that? My supposition has always been that Schmalfeldt has a sadistic personality, that he gets a sick thrill out of inflicting harm on others, and that he especially cherishes the fantasy of being able to inspire fear.
Specialists in abnormal psychology could probably tell us much about the causes of Schmalfeldt’s bizarre behavior, but what will the Carroll County Circuit Court do about it? Schmalfeldt seems to believe that the judge will do nothing and that, instead, terrible harm will befall John Hoge for asking the court to enforce its own order.
Kimberlin Unmasked has turned Schmalfeldt’s idiocy into a comic strip, which would be funnier, if Bill weren’t so sadly pathetic.
The Sicilian Blog Mob

In January 2010, I arrived in Boston to cover the Scott Brown Senate campaign and Pete Da Tech Guy picked me up at the train station.
Now he’s got his own radio show and just announced the addition of seven new co-bloggers to his growing New Media empire.
You should hit Pete’s tip jar. I did.
Iran: No Deal Is a Good Deal
Posted on | November 10, 2013 | 28 Comments
Our anti-American president and our abominable Secretary of State were willing to bargain with Iran’s totalitarian death cult. Strange as it may seem, however, the French showed a bit of backbone:
Talks on curbing Iran’s nuclear program ended with no deal early Sunday after France objected that proposed measures didn’t go far enough. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said “significant progress” had been made on the remaining differences.
Six world powers and Iran agreed to resume talks Nov. 20.
Both sides badly wanted agreement. The U.S. and its five partners were looking for initial caps on Iran’s ability to make an atomic bomb, while Tehran sought some easing of sanctions stifling its economy.
But France would not soften its concerns over Iran’s plutonium project and the level of its uranium enrichment program.
This is like Munich and Chamberlain all over again, isn’t it? Even to think of negotiating with the Tehran regime is a disgrace.
Obama to Iran: If you like your nuclear program, you can keep your nuclear program.

The Humor-Impaired @MaxBlumenthal and His Hamas-Loving Gang of Thugs

Max Blumenthal in the classic 2010 YouTube video, “Hannah and the Booger.”
“It is no exaggeration to say that this book could have been published by the Hamas Book-of-the-Month Club (if it existed) without a single word change once it’s translated into Arabic.”

Good Lord, @RosieGray, have these anti-Israel pro-@MaxBlumenthal trolls been up in your TL all week?

“Egged on by bloodthirsty radicals both Arab and non-Arab, Muslim and non-Muslim, Palestinian leaders have made the annihilation of Israel their casus belli for decades, and have recruited killers around the world to rally to that banner.”
— Robert Stacy McCain, Dec. 5, 2010
In the rancid stew of leftover Bush-era hatreds, one of the many foul ingredients is anti-Semitic fear-mongering about the “Israel lobby.” This typically manifests itself in mutterings that blame “neo-cons” for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and paranoid rhetoric about the allegedly omnipotent influence of AIPAC (The American Israel Public Affairs Committee) and various other shadowy Zionists.
The Sirhan Sirhan Wing of the Democrat Party, as I’ve called this far-left faction, overlaps but is not coterminous with that sphere of radical Islamic sentiment which gives rise to concern about Muslim Brotherhood influence in American politics. You don’t have to buy into any tinfoil-hat conspiracy theories to see that if there is such a thing as an “Israel lobby” in Washington, then opposition to Israel would also tend to form a discernible coalition, some of whose members are sympathetic to, and supported by, Islamic extremists.
In this context, it helps to remember that one reason the unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayers was denied “professor emeritus” honors was that a Weather Underground manifesto was dedicated to a constellation of radical figures which included Robert F. Kennedy’s assassin, the Palestinian fanatic Sirhan Sirhan. The anti-American Left and the anti-Israel Left share a quite similar worldview. Quod erat demonstrandum.
When I learned Saturday that BuzzFeed reporter Rosie Gray was under attack for her article about a dispute involving Max Blumenthal, Max’s father Sidney Blumenthal and liberal journalist Eric Alterman, I immediately checked Rosie’s Twitter timeline:
man, loving my new job as neocon smear artist and cut-out for the lobby
— Rosie Gray (@RosieGray) November 7, 2013
See? Offend the anti-Israel mob, and you’re automatically accused of being a “neoconservative,” even if you’re a card-carrying liberal like Rosie Gray or Eric Alterman. It’s almost a joke.
@RosieGray Please join us at the next Elders of Zion meeting. Wait till you taste the matzah.

You know things have gotten weird when I'm RT'ing @Eric_Alterman.
— Robert Stacy McCain (@rsmccain) November 10, 2013
There are layers of irony here, but fanatics don’t get irony or sarcasm, and my remark about the strange ad hoc coalition against the Blumenthal book sailed right over Max’s dimwitted head:
Am I confused or is this a barely concealed call for violence against me by @rosiegray defender @rsmccain? pic.twitter.com/cwKSMtUQoA
— Max Blumenthal (@MaxBlumenthal) November 10, 2013
Short answer: Yes, you are confused, Max. And also, evil.
In case anyone missed the point, the “werewolf” in my analogy referred to Eric Alterman, a detestable leftist about whom I have never had a good word to say. But there is a microscopic subset of Leftists More Loathsome Than Eric Alterman, and it includes Max Blumenthal.
You may ask: Is there anyone worse than Max Blumenthal?
Yes, and the vile little creep is suing me for $1 million.
