Blog Death/Rap Death (A Hitler's Career Is In The Toilet)


From Run-D.M.C.'s "Dumb Girl" to Trooper York talking about one:
"Well we have another screed from cloud cuckoo land and it is a doozy. 
It seems that the evil blogger lady wants to continue to pick a fight with the Instanerd and his wife. Not satisfied at losing her comments section and most likely all the links thrown her way that put her on the map now she is doubling down with her patented blend of pomposity, condescension, bile and wrongheadness. 
At least she acknowledges that she would have been in the middle of shitstorm if she still had comments as the 'right wingers' who came to her site from Instapundit would inundate her with push back. Which she could not deal with. She took the adult approach of putting her fingers in her ears and saying she doesn't want to talk about it anymore. She just says that the Instanerd is wrong but he doesn't want to admit that she is right. So there."

From Run-D.M.C.'s "Mary Mary" to The Evil Blogger Lady's coverage of the evil blogger lady:
"Well the thoughts that Ann's most recent meltdown were sparked by her recent interactions with Glenn Reynolds (and not her commentators) are mostly confirmed: 'I could say: I guess [Reynolds] doesn't get it. But I suspect — as my linked post insinuates repeatedly — that he knows I'm right, and he doesn't want to have to say it.' 
Well that is some hardcore circular reasoning!"

From a sniper, right before he kills, to PW's "Who Goes Nazi?" game of 1941:
"It is an interesting and somewhat macabre parlor game to play at a large gathering of one’s acquaintances: to speculate who in a showdown would go Nazi. By now, I think I know. I have gone through the experience many times—in Germany, in Austria, and in France. I have come to know the types: the born Nazis, the Nazis whom democracy itself has created, the certain-to-be fellow-travelers. And I also know those who never, under any conceivable circumstances, would become Nazis. It is preposterous to think that they are divided by any racial characteristics. Germans may be more susceptible to Nazism than most people, but I doubt it. Jews are barred out, but it is an arbitrary ruling. I know lots of Jews who are born Nazis and many others who would heil Hitler tomorrow morning if given a chance. There are Jews who have repudiated their own ancestors in order to become 'Honorary Aryans and Nazis'; there are full-blooded Jews who have enthusiastically entered Hitler’s secret service. Nazism has nothing to do with race and nationality. It appeals to a certain type of mind. 
It is also, to an immense extent, the disease of a generation—the generation which was either young or unborn at the end of the last war. This is as true of Englishmen, Frenchmen, and Americans as of Germans. It is the disease of the so-called 'lost generation.' Sometimes I think there are direct biological factors at work—a type of education, feeding, and physical training which has produced a new kind of human being with an imbalance in his nature. He has been fed vitamins and filled with energies that are beyond the capacity of his intellect to discipline. He has been treated to forms of education which have released him from inhibitions. His body is vigorous. His mind is childish. His soul has been almost completely neglected. 
...Believe me, nice people don’t go Nazi. Their race, color, creed, or social condition is not the criterion. It is something in them. Those who haven’t anything in them to tell them what they like and what they don’t-whether it is breeding, or happiness, or wisdom, or a code, however old-fashioned or however modern, go Nazi. 
It’s an amusing game. Try it at the next big party you go to."


And it ends with a Rapper, shot by a Nazi, who I bet - unfiltered - thinks just like Ann,...

Watching The Turntable Spin For Too Long (Is Real Bad)

They say your style of life's a drag 
And that you must go other places 
But just don't you feel too bad 
When you get fooled by smilin' faces but 
Don't you worry 'bout a thing 
Don't you worry 'bout a thing, mama 
'Cause I'll be standin' on the side 
When you check it out,...

Pack for a long trip. 

Folks, were you scurred of Mitt Romney? How about Sarah Palin? Well there's another scary monster laboring under logic well below even their Down Syndrome love child:
"Tony Blair says murder of Lee Rigby PROVES 'there is a problem within Islam'"

Yessireebob, here we go again! 


What Lee Rigby's murder PROVES is the "educated" West still can't take a fair look at something and - from that one look alone - know when it's definitely wrong and should be stopped. 


We're told we're too "unsophisticated" for that, got to get a bit more history and cult-cha. 


We've not enough century's old circular thinking to cause further movement.


 So - brilliance - somebody's gotta die.


That's so the bright apes see (cough) "there is a problem". 

I think that's too late.


 I know, like most people, the dead guy isn't even agreeing with me - right now - but probably thinks I'm just another crazy "recording artist" with no intention of ever meeting him (or anyone else) half way.

Not true: 


And I'm doing 360s on everybody, first chance I get, just to make the point,...

Hey, Barack! We Want You Back! Come! Go! Die!


This video has provided the best laugh we've had all morning! The NewAgers are pleading with him - Come back! Come back! Tell us, what's the point of this lamer coming back, when you were the ones you were waiting for? Got tired of waiting for yourselves? See? Getting caught in circular reasoning is sad, man. Maybe they think this is like when we hear about NewAge Liberals saying they have to devastate important relationships to go arrogantly "find themselves" or something - but in reverse, right?

Whatever it is, it's a real hoot, and we appreciate the help in getting our day started off right! Seriously, now we don't even want to kick your ass, like we did after the "I'm Sorry" show:

You're too pathetic to be worth the exertion.

Idiot: You NEVER Ask What They REALLY Mean

"Every time I asked her a question about the terminology the Falun Gong uses -- what did followers really mean when they used words like 'reason,' 'cultivation' or 'correct information' -- she'd just ask me how I would define them. In other words, she answered questions with questions, and soon our conversation became circular and more than a bit frustrating. At one point, she defensively said that she didn't need me to believe her,..."

-- Gregory Rodriguez, while telling us a few of his experiences being recruited by cultists, in The Los Angeles Times.

Negative: Anyone Not Into Yoga And The Occult

"There was a brief period in my youth when I practised yoga and acquainted myself with occult writers. One thought has stayed with me: these writers all warn against the ‘negative aura’ emanating from certain people, an aura that drains the unwary of psychic vitality."

-- Francis Phillips, on the dangers of being too "wrapped up" in yourself, in Spiked!

Funny, isn't it? How doing yoga - and reading occult writers - naturally go together? Why, you'd almost think there was some connection there,...Nah. Can't be.

It must be just another one of those "coincidences".
