Thugs

It’s hilarious to me that conservatives, who try to paint themselves as the fearless, gun-toting tough guys up against the wimpy, effete, tree-hugging libs, are increasingly sputtering about getting bullied by leftwing “thugs.” Between their white-knuckled bedwetting over the the threat of terrorism and their recent obsession with mewling about terrifying liberal “thugs” (check out how many times they use the word in the comments section here), it’s becoming pretty apparent that they are the crybaby pussies, isn’t it?

UPDATE: Rush Limbaugh actually compares a wingnut journalist tripping over a metal barrier to “terrorism.” [hat tip Steve M.]

If Leftists didn’t have fantasy legions of thugs at their command, wingnuts and PUMAs would have to invent some other reason for their apparent lack of influence and inability to achieve anything.

Remember all those campaign-era posts claiming that Obama was using “hypnosis” to control crowds and command voters? Thugs are the new hypnosis.

Next up: Alien abductions and body-snatching.

Boston must have changed since I lived there. In my day the best way to win an argument was to give the other guy a bloody nose. Debating politicians were allowed to use motorcycle chains. Even spelling bees ended in multiple fractures. Those were the days.

So, I don’t actually understand why Coakley didn’t just answer the question the Weekly Standard punk asked. Yes, it was a hacky question. But, politicians get those kind of questions all the time.

AltHippo, I’m guessing it’s because of how he asked it.  Via TBogg, the guy seems to be a practitioner of the Jesse Watter’s School of Stalking-As-Journalism.

Also, if you watch the video, yeah, he may have been shoved, but he wasn’t “attacked.” He clearly fell to the ground because he tripped over the metal barrier he was walking next to. He wasn’t pushed to the ground.

It’s OK—the Globe reports that the reporter “stumbled.”

That might be stretching it a bit…but looks to me like he was trying to duck Meehan and ran into a camera tripod.

Never mind. Rush Limbaugh says the Globe headline is a bunch of shit, and he’s right 99.4% of the time, as we know.

Kevin K, I read through the TBogg post. The Standard “reporter” sounds pretty creepy. And, it was clear that he was harassing Coakley.

I was referring to the question he asked earlier in the restaurant about Afghanistan and terrorism, and which Coakley didn’t answer. But, given the scene outside the restaurant, it sounds like he wasn’t there in good faith.

Oh dear.  I hope he didn’t soil his pinafore when he fell.  I’ll just clutch my pearls until we know he’s OK.

I’m not sure if I’m quite clear on this - did Obama lend Coakely HIS thugs or does this lady have thugs of her own.

Where does one get thugs?  I could use a couple.  Do you think they could help me clean out the attic or clean the gutters?

Where does one get thugs?

Prime choices are Chicago and Little Rock…although Little Rock’s thug team choked in the 2008 championship game.

Bloody peasants.

Bloody peasants.

Tell me about it!

Oh, fer crissake—now, in Limbaugh Land, this incident has been deemed “terrorism.”

Order another truckload of Depends….

They’re not that hard to come by, but it’s kind of a hassle to separate out all the bones and harmony.

Tripped? Ha! Don’t you know DemoNcRATS control Repubs and Wingers with their evil mind-rays? In fact, when a GOPer is caught boning a billy goat, it is because a Dem MADE him do it.

IT’S TRUE!

There were zero instances of wingnut-journalist-tripping-over-metal-barrier-terrorism in the entire 8 years of Bush, and in Obama’s first year we’ve already had one.  Clearly, he is not keeping America safe.

Good gawd, Rush would light himself on fire before facing my terrorist cat. 

“Accidentally” tripped me up in the kitchen last week when I went to feed him…yeah like zigzagging between my feet is accidental.  Bruised my elbow to high heaven and I couldn’t type for five days!

Did that happen to what’s his face reporter?  I think not.  Be scared of Baby Gee, Rush, he’s out to get us all!
