The real reasons for 9/11, Golden Retard
1.The Saudi hijackers were dismayed that 'About Jim' was returning for another season.
2.They listened to too much Christian rock.

BJ Novak
I don't quite see the comparison of Novaks schtick and Griffen's. There is some important and inescapable questions of measure of response and not so subtle contrast in the objects of ridicule in this issue that you're avoiding.

Golden Diarrhea
Let's talk about Ward Churchill, then. Everyone here on this thread is distancing themselves from him, although he still has plenty of support in the larger world. He has become, for many people, the face of leftist anti-Americanism.
Look at yourself. You keep saying the same droll over and over again. No one here gives a flip or tells you what you want to hear. But you just pretend that we are Churchill fans anyway. You go on to say that "In the larger world...blah, blah, blah". You're obsessed with hearing your own petrified, pants fouling voice. Could you be more of a bore?

Theories
totallyblase:
My take? I think they enjoy the humiliation and scorn they get back. Nothing like a little self-loathing, I guess . . .
I figure either a) they love being humiliated and can't get enough of it; or b) they are paid to get humiliated (and hijack threads). I don't read their posts, but the abuse rained down on them is often fun.

Golden Boy:Grade-A imbecile
How fitting that he has the same initials as another Grade-A imbecile and his great hero, George Bush. If we added his brain to that of his hero, his hero would still be saying:"The illiteracy level of our children are appalling"); "It's the executive branch's job to interpret law"; "Hispanos," "arbolist," "subliminable," "resignate," "transformationed"; "the death tax is good for people from all walks of life!")- a grade-A imbecile indeed.

Re: "Churchill's corollary? Hmmm." -- _zack_
...but Zack, how about calling your Godwin corollary the Churchillian Convention?
Using convention evokes a bridge game, which makes it all seem so much more civilized.

Please? Please? Won't Someone Talk To Me About Ward Churchill? Please? Hey? Please???
There's some dude who keeps coming on here who is really upset that none of us on here who never cared about what Ward Churchill said and wrote still don't care about what Ward Churchill said and wrote. Even when he was, like, pretending to be Native American and all that, and you know how we fringe lefty liberals always repeat as gospel anything said by anyone pretending to be a Native American, even if it's just a cartoon like Disney's Pocahontas.
This guy apparently has a hankerin' to write essays and post references thousands of pages long on the great, great horrors we leftist dupes are causing Our Nation to face from Islam, but the same dude is really worked up about Ward Churchill, who was the most powerfulest spokesperson of American Liberalism we have ever had for the past 4,000 years of U.S. American life.
I was in some other countries, after 9/11, and on occasion people made really cruel jokes about the attacks, even being cruel about the victims, but, for some reason I didn't freak out and start obsessing about Ward Churchill (who those foreigners never seemed to mention, strangely, even though they must have been thinking about him subconsciously all the time).
Can someone dress up in a Gerry Spence outfit and pretend to be Ward Churchill on some other blog so that this odd dude can finally get his rocks off? He's really, really desperate about this, and it's getting kind of sad.

Newsflash! Mr. Kirchick is a LIBERAL DEMOCRAT
James Elliott :
[ . . . ] labeling Mr. Kirchik “right-wing” as a euphemism for “conservative” when Mr. Kirchik isn't really anything of the sort [ . . . ]
- - James Elliott - - Thursday, September 13, 2007 12:58Mr. Elliott has got the straight poop! Mr. Kirchick is actually a LIBERAL DEMOCRAT! And that's why Mr. Kirchick's "discerning" opinion was considered so newsworthy, in 2006, by the Wall Street Journal!

JOHN FUND ON THE TRAIL
Taliban Man at Yale
University officials are embarrassed--but not embarrassed enough.
Monday, March 6, 2006Are there no limits to how arrogant and out-of-touch America's Ivy League schools can get? Last week it emerged that Sayed Rahmatullah Hashemi, former deputy foreign secretary of the Taliban, is now a student at Yale [ . . . ]
[ . . . ] It may say that moral relativism has such an entrenched hold on campus that some people can no longer make needed distinctions. Some, though, are more discerning. James Kirchick, a senior who describes himself as a liberal Democrat, is appalled that campus feminists and gays trash American society as intolerant but won't protest now that "an actual, live remnant of one of the most misogynistic and homophobic regimes ever" is in their midst. "They have other concerns, such as single-sex bathrooms and fraternities," he told me. [ . . . ]
[ . . . ] It's been more than half a century since William F. Buckley mocked the wooly-headed thinking he found at his alma mater in "God and Man at Yale." Now we have Mr. Taliban Man at Yale. If that doesn't cry out for mockery, nothing does.

During his years at Yale, Mr. Kirchick was quoted frequently at "Power Line", a well known hang-out for LIBERAL DEMOCRATS. For instance:

Welcome to Planet Yale
Reporting a story you won't find in the New York Times, Yale Daily News columnist James Kirchick writes a harrowing account of a university employee who is exercising her right not to join the service workers' strike we have been following. Kirchick notes that she is not exactly alone in continuing to work and adds a dose of reality to the purported strike issues: "Despite what the unions would have you believe [ . . . ]

AN ABSURD SENTENCE:
Judge Reggie Walton's sentencing of Scooter Libby--irrespective of whether or not one believes he is even guilty of perjury--was wildly unjust.

WILL THE SKY FALL?:The sky, thankfully, has not fallen.
Andrew kindly calls me out for labeling the Libby commutation critics "Cassandras." Did I not mean "Chicken Littles?" No, I was being sarcastic. Those saying our country is one step closer to authoritarianism by the president's exercising his constitutional duty--Andrew, Glenn Greenwald, et. al.--see themselves as Cassandras, and I was attempting to mock. Perhaps I ought to have inserted "self-identified."

As long as we've got anti-union pro-Bush LIBERAL DEMOCRATS like Mr. Kirchick, who needs conservatives or Republicans?
