Since it seems to be a SHWI reunion, figured I’d stop lurking and say Hi. —Bragg

Adam’s loyal readership seems almost entirely left-wing for some reason. he’s a near-perfect realization of all the negative conservative stereotypes all us lefties love to hate. he’s pure, crystallized wingnuttery.

Adam’s loyal readership seems almost entirely left-wing for some reason. To me its irrelevant whether you agree with his politics, he’s ambitious and quite good for his age. Lets all take a deep breath and consider the stupidity of the next item on this blog, the one mentioning Bush getting impeached, before criticizing yoshida.

“the whole point of the internet is that it enables you to say stupid things and transmit them widely” Well, if that’s what Mr. Yoshida is trying to acheive, he’s surely acheived it . . .

Oh, yeah. The even worse sock-puppets. Almost forgot about those. C.

My other favorite moment: “The next time you see a person walking down a street with an anti-war button, even if they are minding their own business, call them a name. Start a screaming match with them. If a relative if yours opposes the war, refuse to speak to them, except in support for the war. If a bookstore displays anti-war books in a prominent position, refuse to shop there and explain to the owners exactly why…. Make those who oppose the war pay a price for their treasonous beliefs. If they own a little market, picket it. They might have a free speech right to oppose the war, but you have a free speech right to oppose them. I want them to lose their businesses, lose their jobs, go bankrupt, and lose their homes. Given their great efforts against America, that is the least deserved by everyone who opposes the war. Stop thinking of people who oppose the war as your friends, family, and neighbours: start thinking of them as enemies of America who must be defeated if the Republic is to endure.”

My favorite Adam Yoshida moment was when Roger Ailes realized that Adam had created a blog, “Schizophrenics for Dean”, then linked to it just 16 minutes after its creation to prove something or other. I, for one, am sick of the influence of the imaginary mentally ill on Democratic politics today. Link

I was a libertarian when I was twenty. The Horror… Anyone notice that some reasonable people get kinda cranky and bigoted when they get old too, say closing in on eighty?

I’m pretty sure B*ss**r has his own blog already. ISTR him mentioning it and more or less departing from rasw. Just be glad he isn’t flooding comment threads at PNH’s site or something. As for Adam Yoshida, well, I would criticize his execrable behaviour and mindset, but I’m Chinese and therefore, according to him, I don’t count.

Of course, if you have nothing better to do than track down nearly-decade old posts… Adam “As You Can See, I Have Spent A Good Deal Of Time Researching What John Kerry Did In The Early 1970s, And Trust Me, America, It’s Still Important Today” Yoshida has spoken. Eat it, liberals.

I’d love to S*rdar Arg*c’s blog, if he has one.

I live in hope, trepidation, terror—or a mixture of all three—at the prospect of discovering that J*rd*n B*ss**r has a blog. (Hi Doug, Carlos, the rest of you …)

Like, “That Martha Quinn is really pretty. I wish she’d answer my trivia questions”? You know, Adi, not all of us were bellicose homophobic nutters wishing for the deaths of random strangers, when we were twelve. And of those of us that were, most of us outgrew it. I suppose I have to be obvious here. You haven’t. And it seems likely that you never will. What a waste. C.
