I'm constantly amazed by Democrat's drive to accuse Republicans of that which their own "heroes" are guilty.

Killing someone in a drunk driving accident and covering it up? That's Teddy Kennedy's bag, Marcus.

I'm glad to see the left reaching out, helping to unite the country and heal the divide.

If America is to heal, people must want the wounds treated. Clearly, there are people out there who prefer bleeding sores.

This really bothers me. This is nothing but the authors fervent wish. Really sick.

Marcus' regular gig is writing about people who choked on their own vomit. It's probably pretty tough for him to shift gears.

When you stop to think about it, it's truly amazing that human civilization managed to survive for 15,000 years before the discovery of our most precious global resource: Rock Music critics.

Don't be so glum, lefties. I've cataloged some

Reasons to be Cheerful

Dear Democrats — Don't ever change.

Seriously.

The 2006 Congressional elections are coming up and I'm taking notes...

not everyone worships your warmonger, kids. learn to live with it. (thanks for the link, timbo!)

What a dumbass.

He can put Lipstick Traces on my ass.

There there, akman. I'm sure you'll be able to live an almost normal life with only minimal brain function. Sorry about your curtains and walls, though. But just think: now that your head exploded and you don't have all those brains taking up space in your skull -- or even much of a skull -- you won't have all those headaches as you contemplate the fact that a "warmonger" has so many admirers!

That's right, akman. It's called dissent, and it's a sign of a healthy democratic government.

"griel marcus,"
king of moondopes...
king of bleeding sores...

king of gitmo???

andrea, he's hardly the first "'warmonger'" to have legions of callow cheerleaders. good job with the tortuous attempt at a slight, though.

"akman,"
king of cabana-boys...

Poor akman. Reduced to "you're shallow! and stupid! and your president is a poopy head! So there! Nyah nyah nyah!" Sad.

I always figured the "warmonger" was the person who started the war, not the person who decided to end it by fighting back. For example, Hitler was the "warmonger", not Churchill. In modern terms, that would make Osama, Saddam, and Yasser the proper "warmongers".

Of course, I don't fetishize Third World tyrants and lunatic thugs like the left does.

"Greil Marcus, beloved geezer punk, author of the seminal 'Lipstick Traces' - which made heros out of the Sex Pistols - and all around master of punk rock semiotics, died today from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. Friends say he was "extremely distraught" when Jeb Bush was declared winner of the 2012 election with 308 electoral votes, and had lately been complaining of the ineffectiveness of his prescription anti-depressants."

Of course, akman, the problem with dissent is sorting the rational from the irrational.

But in your case, it's no problem at all; one can tell by the damage to your skull when your brain exploded on 3 November 2004.

I wonder if embryonic stem-cell research holds the keys to a treatment for exploded heads?

I don't know, PW, but it would be a great research thesis for some doctoral candidate. God knows there are plenty of test subjects available. Ought to be able to assemble an unassailable control group.

Aw, guys. Leave akman alone. He is obviously suffering and his only coping mechanism is to leave anonymous comments. It's all part of the healing process after the devistation he suffered on 11/3, what with losing his head and all.

Ugh. Glad I'm not privy to this guy's fantasy life. I mean, more so than now.

Uh...sorry to burst the bubble of this idiot, but the obituary makes no sense.

Why would Bush, after being re-elected to a second term, start drinking again?

What's more likely would be enraged Democrats and dickheads like akman slitting their wrists.

...oh, and why the gratitutious addition of Bush's daughters? What precisely have they done to earn death in this guy's eyes?

Underage drinking? Hey, we've all done that, most of us were much younger than they were, as well.

akman - posters here are not objecting to the fact that someone has written a critical article about Bush. Nor are most people who post here Bush's 'cheerleaders'.

My own objection (which I bet is shared by many here) is the sheer malice and spite of the article. I felt like taking a shower after I read it, to get rid of any slime that may have been inadvertently been tranferred.

A fake obituary? This is obviously something Marcus would like to be writing for real. Vitriol and hatred are oozing out of every word. Its a long time since I read anything so distasteful. The person who wrote it, and anyone who thinks it amusing, should crawl under a rock.

What precisely have they done to earn death in this guy's eyes?

They're a spawn of evil, Evil Bushitler in this case. That's obviously enough for leftist idiots to vilify them and wish them dead. It's the proverbial liberal sense for compassion, or something.

What a prick! May he get hemorrhoids the size of grapes!

Shows what happens to those who continued on 'coke'
and those who changed to 'cola'

...and not everyone has turned your warmonger into a Satan/Loki type figure to revile as you have, akman.

For someone who likes to accuse people of worshipping, you come off as a zealot railing against the demonic heretics in your midst.

Its easy to assume that most people, including Democrats, would look at Greil Marcus's "piece" and see signs of mental illness, a hatred so deeply felt that he can't see the repulsiveness of what he has just written, sort of like a pedophile writing about child sex being O.K because its teaching kids about "love", they simply don't see how revolting their words are to the rest of the community.
But while most lefties I know would in fact be disgusted by that piece, there is a whole block of Michael Moorish misfits like akman who clearly just don't get it, they just don't get that their weird rantings in part gave Bush his victory. They don't get that "values" for normal people include resisting the urge to fictitiously kill off nine people while subtly blaming it on the drinking of one of two daughters of the writer’s object of hatred.

The Dems can try and blame the whole election defeat on the gay marriage issue but the reality of the "values" vote can be perfectly framed just by pointing to Greil Marcus's piece and then showing akmans defense of it. Simple truth is that moonbats like Marcus, Moore and akman's personal "values" seem so alien to most people that they end up looking straight out creepy, and when the Dems appeared to embrace these sort of "values", thats when they lost the election.

I'd respond in the tone which seems appropriate, but we all know how important it is not to appear hateful less we live down to the expectations of those liberal fuckheads.

dear smart commenters,

has my brain exploded? i am left wing, and need your guidance on this sensitive issue.

sincerely,
anonymous

p.s.: your president is a poopy head! So there! Nyah nyah nyah!

It looks to me like the answer to your question would be "yes."
