Come on Now to the World of Fun

New post up at FDL.

But the real entertainment is here, with our old buddy the very prestigious Noel Sheppard of NewsBusters. Now, this is pretty great. It's not so much that Sheppard is going with the always amusing "liberal blogs curse a lot" wankery, though that is as comical as ever.

Nope. He thinks he's caught Teh Liberal Blogosphere in a Big Mistake. So he winds up to deliver a Crushing Blow, swings, and falls on his very prestigious ass.

This is all to do with Karl Rove saying that liberals curse a lot. There's the setup -- take it away, Noel:

You really can't make this stuff up. In fact, this was Markos Moulitsas's response (asterisks mine in all the following):

"Bad words" like this?

We will f**k him. Do you hear me? We will f**k him. We will ruin him. Like no one has ever f**ked him!

Now, if you click that link inside the word "this," it sends you to Atrios's blog:   

I love civility lessons from Mr. "We will f**k him. Do you hear me? We will f**k him. We will ruin him. Like no one has ever f**ked him!"

Now, click the link inside "civility lessons from Mr." and you are sent to Think Progress:

UPDATE II: Atrios highlights one of Rove's oh-so-civil quotes: "We will f**k him. Do you hear me? We will f**k him. We will ruin him. Like no one has ever f**ked him!"

Now, click that link inside "We will f**k him," and you end up back at Atrios's blog.

As such, Moulitsas, Think Progress, and Atrios all referenced a vulgarity-laden rant supposedly made by Karl Rove by actually citing each other and without ever presenting evidence that Rove said such a thing.

Dontcha love it?

Oh my God, do I ever love it.

Because Atrios did indeed link to the source, dumbass. (Here.) That's why the word "Mr" in his post is underlined and in blue, which is often a signal that the word so indicated is a "hyperlink."

Fucking moron.

BONUS CIVILITY GOODNESS: El Gato Negro. Heh.

***UPDATE*** Shepard updates, though he fails to point out that most of his post is based on a comical oversight on his part. He then references me making fun of him and points out that I used "three vulgarities" in my response.

Sheesh.

Good thing for him I didn't say "fuck" eight more times. He would've had to take his socks off.

FURTHER UPDATE:

How is he getting "three vulgarities" out of that post? 

Either he has confused definitions, or he can't count to four. That's some fucked up shit, either way.

¿Meowtf, they still let Sheppard have a keyboard?

Wonders unceasing, but what would joo expect from those frotacionados gigantes.

Pfui.

Personally, I think it's very ethical to reward craptacular behavior with the label of asshole.

And what else ethically could someone called "J'acuse" do but call such people assholes?

Has he at least figured out that your name isn't "Wingnuttery"?

[Thers]

Phila, he did. We've been emailing...

[¡El Gato Negro!]

Jaques, I do no put any blame on joo for jour language, I just pointed out that I could have predicted the civility post the moment I read jour comment.

I think those pipples have bigger problems than a few maldiciones, no?

so.

Why must you be so childish and unprofessional in your rants by using curse words. It is like you type these blogs out of sheer anger and hate, as opposed to trying to be convincing. It is hard to listen to someone and believe them when all they do is curse. It seems more like a 2 year old throwing a temper tantrum after having his favorite toy taken away...

[ignobility]

Dammit, who took my favorite toy? And bring me some more mother fuckin' iced tea!

[Cletus]

And goddammit, what's with the frenchy monkey talk at the top of the page? Donchu know the good gawd fearin people don't unnerstand that nonsense?

And don't tell me bout lookin it up in no book, nohow.

[Thers]

Thanks for sharing, Kris. Your obvious sophistication is much appreciated.

[Bas-O-Matic]

I think Kris should go fuck his or her self.

I also wonder on why a blog that exists primarily to make fun of wingnuts would ever want to stop being childish and unprofessional.

Where's the fun in that?

[KC45s]

Kris--Where do you live that two year-olds curse so much?

[Gentlewoman]

Kris--Where do you live that two year-olds curse so much?

I got a two year old cat that curses like a mothafuckin' SAILOR, man. That fuckin' cat got a fuckin' mouth on him like I ain't never heard.

Dunno where he fuckin' picked it up, either. Just come to him as natural as fuckin'.

Maybe that's what this Kris d00d is up against: a goddamned mothafuckin' cursin' cat.

If I was you Kris, I'd just take him for a ride, and throw the mothafucka RIGHT OUT the fuckin' window of the car. Then just step on the fuckin' gas and don't look back.

You got a car, dontcha Kris? Cuz for my plan to work, you're gonna need a fuckin' car for chrissakes. I mean, you're not gonna take the fuckin' cat for a ride on your fuckin' MOUNTAIN BIKE now, are you? Fuck no!

[Gentlewoman]

As I'm sure you all know, Ganesh Bengal Cat is never getting thrown out a car window, even though I suspect that he does indulge in intemperate language.

It sounds intemperate, anyway, but I don't speak Cattish so I can't be sure.

No, he will continue to occupy the best bed, the best chair, the best sun patch, etc. And when he does not get the best sun patch or when his lunch is late, or not to his taste, then intemperate complaints delivered in the Cattish tongue can be expected.

In other words, no cats, mothafuckin' cursin' ones or ones of any other type or sort, were harmed in the typing of my previous comment.

During the typing of this comment, however, a spider was murdered by an unknown assailant belonging to the Cattish family of the household. An assailant who MAY be facing, at the very least, a ride on a MOUNTAIN BIKE. Ahem.

Gentlewoman, I must strongly object to the offensive content of your first comment. Specifically,

If I was you Kris,

[Emphasis added]

Were, were, were. Haven't you incivil lefty bloggers ever heard of the subjunctive? I was fortunate to have my fainting couch near at hand, for fuck's sake.

[Mr.Murder]

Rove was talking about someone who was a Republican.

"We will fuck him."
Ritter, Roberts, Frist, Lott, someone...

He always does that to Dems from the outset and it's expected.

For him to have talked that way with that much emphasis to his inner rank staffers, he was talking about doing in a Republican.
