JOKES NEEDED
A Michelle Malkin operative reports from the Daily Kos kosvention in Las Vegas:
We were discussing the general pitfalls of shows like Hannity and Colmes, and one trainee pundit spoke up to volunteer that leftist guests “need to have more humor on these shows.” Hmm, I thought. They are learning. There were some murmurs of assent. And then she added, “We need to look at these people who are asking these questions and just ask them, ‘ARE YOU A NAZI?’”
At least they’ll be providing more humour. At their own expense, as usual.
Now that’s funny.
“Are you a Nazi?”
“You must be a Nazi.”
“Nazi, Nazi, Nazi.”Such is the brave American left.

Posted by Jim Treacher on 2006 06 09 at 01:10 PM • permalinkThat IS a real knee-slapper compared to the usual yuk-yuks on the Daily Kos - a comedy black hole where the concentration of humorlessness achieves a mass great enough that no joke can escape from it.
Posted by Randal Robinson on 2006 06 09 at 01:37 PM • permalinkWhen I knew Kos in his undergraduate days, he was a serious, but not apparently humorless, person. For his owns sake, I hope he’s not as bad as those who seem to follow him.
I’m old enough to remember when Democrats and liberals were pretty funny at times. I suspect that began to end when the feminist, Stalinist wing began to ascend.
Q. How many feminists does it take to change a lightbulb.
A. “That’s NOT funny.”It’s that fundamentalist, Puritan, Stalinist orientation to the world that bothers me about the current edition of the Left, but that may also prevent them from winning. What a choice.
Posted by JorgXMcKie on 2006 06 09 at 01:49 PM • permalinkJames Carville or Paul Begala are lefties who are humorous interviewees, deliberately over-the-top moonbats and willing to joke about it, at least on Imus, where they’re introduced as communists.
Defending the indefensible is easier if you admit from the start that nobody’s theory exactly works out, and so you value loyalty more anyhow ; ``and as you see, my loyalty is expressed in over-the-top charges against the opposition.
That’s parasitic though on over-the-top charges being the currency of politics, which perhaps is not a good development
Ryan Sager, reporting for the NY Sun and linked to by Malkin, has this to say:
Here at the YearlyKos conference, a serious new political movement is getting on its feet. It’s probably not too much of a stretch to compare this gathering to the Conservative Political Action Conference, a right-wing gathering started in the early 1970s as a networking event for the conservatives who would eventually take over the Republican Party, and then the country.
A serious new(??) political movement that might eventually take over the country? Allah help us.
Posted by Kyda Sylvester on 2006 06 09 at 03:12 PM • permalinkJust the fact that they scheduled a moonbat convention in the most hedonistic, sinful, colorful, food-festic American city on the continent is a sitcom in the making.
Well, they do tend to bet it all on Red! lol roftl
Posted by Jim Treacher on 2006 06 09 at 03:49 PM • permalinkAnd I understand when the Kossac made the “Nazi” comment, the “handler” shhhhed him (there was apparently a number of media folk there). Also, they must have received the “memo” because Che shirts were out; most had pressed polos on. But guess what, barking moonbats? You can’t make a silk purse out a sow’s ear. You is what you is. And you know what you is.
Posted by Kathy from Austin on 2006 06 09 at 03:50 PM • permalinkIn the late 60s, in the service as an enlistee, I found that the whole hippy anti-war leftist thing had a momentum to it that couldn’t be denied.
I did my job as best I could and took the crap that I had to from them, and responded appropriately when I could get away with it (sweet memories).
The time they’re just silly.
Hmmm, reading through michelle’s post I got to the bottom of the second last excerpt and what did I see?
Crikey
What the? Michelle’s not an aussie… and it wasnt a guest post…
A evil smile crosses my lips. Excellent I think, the aussification of the world continues…
Davo, bring me the Milo bomb, it is time.
For an Aussie slant on anti-Americanism, Phil Adams The Loyal Leftist imagines the Left have really been pro-American for decades, only recently hating GWBush [not America] for his evilness:
“There wasn’t much anti-Americanism in Australia or Europe during the Kennedy era, or when Bill Clinton was in the White House.”HMMM. Which world did Adams live in then?
Maybe the Berlin Wall concentrated the European Left’s minds for a few weeks.
The JFK era lasted less than 3 years, followed by LBJ, the Evil Liberal.
Clinton’s era had the WTC bombing and many others by anti-Americans.
It took that decade for the Left to get off the canvas.Adams is re-inventing his Left past all the time.
When I knew Kos in his undergraduate days, he was a serious, but not apparently humorless, person. For his owns sake, I hope he’s not as bad as those who seem to follow him.
Savonarola probably ‘wasn’t as bad’ as his followers; but after they did their best to abort the Renaissance, they tore him to pieces anyway…

Quite so. Adams shouldd know better but chooses not to. Readers of my age will remember the rampant anti-US rants of the 60s and 70s - Pine Gap, Carnavon, North-West Cape, the monitoring station in Victoria that was a sure-fire nuclear target - and all that. And that lunatic Victorian MP (names escapes me) who wrote a book about how the CIA was infiltrating Australian politics.
Posted by walterplinge on 2006 06 10 at 07:00 AM • permalink#19, so I’m in Target yesterday, browsing the magazine racks, and there’s this big glossy mag, I forget the name, but it was all about Aussies! And had a pic of some long-limbed blonde Aussie bint sprawled all over the cover.
So I go around to the teen books and there’s this SECTION devoted to fauna of Oz! And there, at the “Recommended Hand-Selected” area, is a book about the history of Oz!
If youse guys have infiltrated Target (pronounced tar-jhay), then you have already conquered America…
Ushie — God, that “Tar-zhay” crap is soooooo pretentious.
For my upscale shopping needs, I visit Ye Thrifte Shoppe…
Posted by richard mcenroe on 2006 06 10 at 12:25 PM • permalinkTo hell with Tar-jhay, I make a big point of going to Wal-Mart. Many fewer yuppies and proto-yuppies, and way more stuff. Plus, Wally World makes lefties’ heads explode.
Although, gotta admit, lefties are getting a bit looser. Yup, still chuckling over that “Nazi” line. Good one.
Posted by Steve Skubinna on 2006 06 11 at 01:16 PM • permalink#23 - walt, I bet you’re thinking of Joan Coxsedge again.
It’s a nasty habit you’re developing and for your own sake you really ought to give it up. Here’s a tip - next time Joan springs into your consciousness, think of Helen Coonan instead. It works for me!Posted by SwinishCapitalist on 2006 06 12 at 12:04 AM • permalink

Trying to get the Krazy Kos Kidz to behave like adults and make their points at least seem reasonable must be something like trying to herd cats.
Or nailing smoke to a log.
Emotional and intellectual infants, all of them.
