Aw, Man, Logic Wins Again, Curse You Logic!! [The Token Moonbat]

And here I thought they nailed that bastard, but, read the bold print.

he told his audience that he had a new name for Senator Chuck Hagel: "Senator Betrayus."

Hm, let's see about that.

On September 10, MoveOn.org's much-discussed advertisement headlined "General Petraeus or General Betray Us?" critical of Gen. David Petraeus, appeared in The New York Times. On the September 11 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio show, Rush Limbaugh called the advertisement "contemptible" and "indecent." However, months earlier, on his radio show, he told his audience that he had a new name for Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-NE): "Senator Betrayus." On the January 25 broadcast (subscription required) of his radio show, Limbaugh broke from his commentary on an interview of Vice President Dick Cheney on the January 24 edition of CNN's The Situation Room to say: "By the way, we had a caller call, couldn't stay on the air, got a new name for Senator Hagel in Nebraska, we got General Petraeus and we got Senator Betrayus, new name for Senator Hagel." A day earlier, Hagel had sided with Democrats on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in voting to approve a nonbinding resolution declaring that Bush's escalation in Iraq was against "the national interest."

See, it was a caller to the show that called Hagel "Senator Betrayus." It wasn't Rush Limbaugh who came up with the name.

Of course, when did facts get in the way of Media Matters?

I found this at Kos, by the way, but I decided not to link that insane asylum.

Okay, I've changed my mind, so you can enjoy the juicy comments.

The Token Moonbat is not really a moonbat.

The Token Moonbat reads moonbat sites so you don't have to.

The Token Moonbat will appear as often as Open Blog lives.

2 Saying that a Republican has betrayed his party is not even close to analogous with saying a general has betrayed his country.

That depends. Oliver Willis tried to dispute the whole Twinkies causes cancer in rats thing by consuming 11,000 cream filled goodies in one day.

When given the news of Oliver's feat, the scientists involved in the original study had to conceed that they hadn't tested on 500 lb. rats.

4 The title of the ad was:

General Petraeus or General Betray Us?
Cooking the books for the White House

A military officer "cooking the books" while testifying under oath is a crime. Did Limbaugh say Hagel had broken the law?

from the Kos site:
However, months earlier, on his radio show, he told his audience that he had a new name for Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-NE):"Senator Betrayus."[Ed. note: Senator Hagel served in Vietnam and has two purple hearts]

And how is this fact relevant, MarKos?

Nalakin.. (0 / 0)
You are a wishy washy, namby pamby centrist, who hides behind NO OPINION so they think they can come out on top of any argument.

Pathetic. I didn't vote for years. Basically, I'm an anarchist and think we should give this country back to the Indians, and then join them, we'd all be better off.

But if you can't see how the Republicans are dangerous psychopaths who want to perpetuate endless war, pursue their meglamaniacal views on world domination, and crush people's basic civil rights, and the Constitution in this country, then you are a moron.

Capitalism is leading this world quickly down the primrose path to it's own destruction. As a "moderate", you are only carrying their gasoline to throw on the flames.

Of course, you'll say, "I'm an over the top, reactionary". but you can't have it both ways pal. There's an old Indian saying,

"You can keep one foot in two canoes for only so long, sooner or later, you'll have to decide"....

Let's hope you make the right choice.

In an ideal world, we could have a multi-party system. But with the dangerous, psychotic, ideologues in the Republican Party and their enablers in the media, Ralph Nader is a luxury we can no longer afford.

7 That's awesome! Republicans have enablers in the media! I had no idea.

Wait a minute, that guy is an anarchist: Why would he care about Republicans trashing the Constitution? Isn't that what he would want to do?

8 "Ralph Nader is a luxury we can no longer afford."

Actually, I'd say that DKos and his merry band are luxuries that the Democrats can no longer afford. YMMV.

9 Run, Ralph - run! We need a moonbat-magnet statesman like Nader in the race to help siphon off the crazies centrists that Hillary is counting on for support.

11 Wasted far too much time over at DK reading almost identical rants in favor of MoveOn - none of which were based in logic. Eric The Red asks if a particular DK poster is an anarchist who wants to trash the Constitution.

Eric, that's not quite what the lunatic is advocating; here is the agenda he has in mind: "In an ideal world, we could have a multi-party system". He then goes on the "prove" the psychotic ideologues in the Republican Party have made a 2 party-system impossible in the US.

Ergo, what this country actually needs is a single party which will no doubt will contain all truth, and thus usher in "a "new dawn for all mankind." Conclusion: The idiot's' not an anarchist; he's simply a garden-variety, throw-back Commie!

16 A commenter at Althouse thinks Moveon's ad was a success because it raised $2 million for them. I wonder how some managed to get to college, much less stay there half their lives, but maybe sense and reasoning aren't needed anymore.

19 Yeah Media Matters is pretty pathetic, but its sad how many lefties rely on it without even bothering to doublecheck. I've caught Newsbusters once in a while with a false or misleading story, you have to check this stuff, not believe it like the voice of God.

I love reading moonbat excrement like this:

Canada - where a pack of smokes is ten bucks and a heart transplant is free.

Apparently in Canada they have a heart transplant fairy!! Sweet.

26 The anarchist rant led me to do a bit of reading up on anarchy. Hubby and I were wondering what the hell they possibly were after. Turns out, they are socialists. Anarchists, intellectually, are on the low end of the bell-curve of the whole Socialist/ Communist/Anarchist community.

Posted by: carin at September 23, 2007 02:28 PM (tKIRW)

27 There are actually anarchists who believe in the principle of "an-archy," or no government. Probably about three of them.

There are some great Anarchist political thinkers, Lysander Spooner coming to mind, but pretty much nobody who CALLS themselves an anarchist is actually an anarchist.

Most of the people who CALL themselves anarchists are the opposite (communists) or just nihilists (personality disordered).

This is especially stupid because the name of the philosophy is pretty fucking clear, and how someone who believes in total government accidentally punches the "no government" ticket...

Most actual Anarchists (two of the three) don't expect a government-free society, they just see themselves as providing pressure away from the growth of government. Kind of like Libertarians before BDS.

But yeah, if you want weapons-grade batshit insane, KOS is a good place to start.

Anarchists are also largely against good hygiene for some reason.

29 In other words, if those black-armband dumbasses throwing rocks at Frisco and Seattle protests are "anarchists," then allow me to introduce myself - Emperor Maximilian Napolean Orange, leader of the Free Plant Kingdom.

33 I was sitting next to a kid in a bar, and he was going on about how he was a dedicated anarchist.

So I turned to him and pointed out that in a true anarchy, he'd be screwed, since he was a little bitty fart and had the coordination of a spastic Chihuahua.

Then he started babbling about how his idea of "anarchy" meant that people would organize in small bands to protect and support each other.

"Oh, nomadic tribes, then?"

No, larger groups.

"Villages?"

Well, bigger than a village, since some things still needed to be produced by a lot of people working together.

"City-states, with governments?"

...and it went downhill from there. We almost made it to "national governments" before he quit...
