Yeah, they keep laughin' it up, but since we're on the subject and already OT (or not, depending on your POV):

I'll get to the on-topic point here in a sec, but first, in consideration of the topic above, we should consider the following:

Glenn Greenwald, Bush's Number 1 Fan:

Unclaimed Territory: "Friday, November 04, 2005The reality of Latin American reaction to Bush

George Bush is here in Latin America this week, visiting Brazil and Argentina, and the standard reports of the American media are trying to depict a handful of isolated, juvenile socialist-organized "demonstrations" as some sort of sweeping, popular mass protest against Bush’s visit, thereby suggesting, yet again, that the Administration’s policies are flawed because people in other countries dislike Bush. As usual, the truth is vastly different than what the U.S. media is reporting (see UPDATE below) .

It is true that in this region (as is true for the U.S.), there remains a small, fervent band of left-wing fanatics with crazed enthusiasm for the worn-out, socialist/collectivist policies which have condemned millions upon millions of people throughout Latin America to poverty unimaginable to even the poorest Americans. These putative "mass demonstrations" in Argentina and Brazil are, in reality, nothing more than a few isolated spray-painting incidents of trite pacifist slogans in Brasilia, and a Cindy Sheehan-like "rally" of hard-core Socialists in Argentina led by an obese, Castro-idolozing, retired soccer player who found time away from his decade-old cocaine addiction to show up wearing an oh-so-clever t-shirt showing Bush's name spelled with a swastika."http://glenngreenwald.blogs...

Sieg Heil! from Germany (my very own home once upon a time and I don't think this shit is funny):

German Mainstream News: Deutsche Welle: "PEGIDA, neo-Nazis, and organized rage"

"Germany's well-organized neo-Nazi scene is merging with the anti-Islamization PEGIDA movement. They've become an integral part of the group's weekly marches - and they appear to be tolerated by organizers." (since then, the "organizers" have been exposed as Neo-Nazis themselves): http://www.dw.com/en/pegida...

Speaking of organized rage, does any of this sound familiar?:

Geman news clip embedded: "Pegida and the "Peace" Demonstrations: Anti-Americanism and Anti-Semitism" (far right conspiracy theories driving the insanity):http://www.dialoginternatio...

It should sound very familiar, because these protesters are repeating John Birch Society "New World Order" conspiracy theories verbatim, blaming "The Jews" for every conceivable ill in the world, courtesy Ron Paul (1998 John Birch Society 'New World Order" conspiracy theory video dug up by News One) :http://newsone.com/1754815/...

Guess where they got it from: "Ron Paul and the Neo-fascists": http://www.dialoginternatio...

Yep, from our 'Tea Party' Libertarians... any idea who those Koch-funded folks on that there stage are aside from Fraud Paul and Glenn Greenbucks?: https://www.youtube.com/wat...

I could go on, but Dok freaks out when my comments get longer than Wonkette's posts:)

You'd think "progressive" dupes would wise up already: http://www.democraticunderg...

I think Poppy was the last Republican I can grudgingly respect. If nothing else, he gave us the term "voodoo economics." Oh, how right he was about Reaganomics.

That there, dupes, is a right-wing Libertarian. Not a "progressive."

Nobody but a right-wing Libertarian uses language like "socialist/collectivist pacifists" to defend Dubya and slime LEGITIMATE left-wing anti-war protesters (which Teanut Ron Paul isn't and Glenn knows this because Dave Neiwert, currently of SPLC, told him so back in 2007): http://dneiwert.blogspot.co...

It also explains this shit (they have the announcement in their paws which is what they are referring to):

LGF Pages: "Glenn Greenwald Will Speak to a Koch-Funded Event Named After a Pro-Lynching Racist Dixiecrat Congressman"http://littlegreenfootballs...

Disclaimer: You'll recognize my other account, blocked by certain "progressive" blogs as kfreed [the Duchamp urinal] for pointing out the above (and other unfortunate realities) in no uncertain terms :) As I said, "shut up and color" is not in my repertoire, so A sock puppet it is (wink, wink, nudge, nudge, Glenn, amirite?)

Unlike, say...: http://www.addictinginfo.or...

UPDATE: Do "progressive" idjits suppose they might actually point this out to the general public - which would require admitting that some of us are colossal dupes - which, as it turns out, is not a feature unique to Tea Party Morans? This is a rhetorical question.

I would like to respectfully point out that "raging idiots" and "impotent and weak" are not mutually exclusive. In fact, In the instant case they are most apt when used in conjunction with one another.

P.S. Here's a screenshot (this stuff has a habit of disappearing, coincidentally):

Libertarian Glenn Greenwald's leg-humping of BushCo, Inc. (while sliming legitimate anti-war protesters as "collectivist/socialist pacifists" in the process):http://glenngreenwald.blogs...

Thusly, when Libertarian Glenn Greenwald writes shit like this, read critically, including embedded links: http://www.theguardian.com/...

He doesn't come up with this shit on his own... it was prepared in advance by the Koch "Party of Principle" (circa 2009) in their press release: "Libertarians release top 10 disasters of 2009 Obama administration"http://www.lp.org/news/pres...

Yeah, Koch's Cato Institute Libertarians, you remember them, right? All up in Dubya's grill writing the legal justification for the "War on Terror" and warrantless wiretapping, and Gitmo, and, and, and...

The Nation: "Independent and Principled? Behind the Cato Myth"http://www.thenation.com/ar...

See, there, Mark Ames is good for something after all:) Meanwhile, you dupes keep repeating Koch propaganda against democrats, yell "both sides" and tell people how sitting out elections is tres cool and that's how we got here: http://elections.nytimes.co...

And how we ended up with this shit sitting in Congress (and state houses all over the country): https://www.youtube.com/wat...

Coincidentally, of course: "MEMO: Health Insurance, Banking, Oil Industries Met With Koch, Chamber, Glenn Beck To Plot 2010 Election"http://thinkprogress.org/po...

Andy why did you do it? Because "progressive" Libertarian Glenn Greenwald told you to. Dumbasses.

I read every comment and I must say I am disappointed at the decided scarcity of Bush/Dick puns.

I'll contend that W missed his true calling, which was to succeed Bud Selig as Commissioner of Baseball. He only had to deal with rich people and baseball was something he had a passion for.
