Huffington Mad!
by Michael McGrutherSean Penn used to settle his differences with a solid right hook, but now, because he’s so deep in the abyss of Statist nothingness, all he can muster in his latest Huffington Post blog is fool’s pride for a sinister smile. It’s sinister because it’s disengenuous and it’s fool’s pride because Sean Penn is literally a fool.
I guess liberals (in the Hollywood sense, not the true meaning of the word) have gotten so carried away with their own assault on the meaning of words they no longer realize their favorite place to post these silly, meaningless rants is actually mocking them.
Look at how the name “Huffington” breaks down, starting with the word “Huff” — sometimes a noun and sometimes a verb but always associated with a crude, rude attitude. (Except in the case of huffing glue, which might explain why the majority of their posts lack any actual thought.) As a noun “Huff” means:
a mood of sulking anger; a fit of resentment: Just because you disagree, don’t walk off in a huff. And then as a verb (used with an object) it has even more delicious irony as it means To give offense to; make angry, to treat with arrogance or comtempt; bluster at; hector or BULLY. And then when used as a verb without an object it gets even better! To take offense; speak indignantly. To puff or blow; breathe heavily. To swell with PRIDE or arrogance; swagger or bluster!
Now we come to “ing” which is an innocent suffix caught in the middle, followed by “ton,” which we all know is a way of measuring something heavy, like say the “ton of pure bullshit” that can be read at that site daily. And finally “post” which has many meanings, including the obvious one that applies here; To display (an announcement) in a place of public view.
So it turns out that our lefty artists and Congressmen and people of statist stature are all participating in self mockery by their own ignorance whenever they write an article for the “Sulking anger, fit of resentment, indignant pride and arrogance-ING-TON of BS-post”
And I write all of this with … a smile, and not a sinister one.

Wow, that is so clever. I bet nobody has ever thought of that before. You are mature beyond your years. I will give you credit though, this is probably the most interesting blog you will ever write in your life. Don't quit your day job.
Hey there Betty Crocker. You ready to answer the BIG question?
Isn't there a law against Trolls posting on weekends?
If not, can't YOU at least do something about getting it on the books?
There was an interesting article written about a week ago by some leftist hack, I can't remember he name and don't honestly care to try — but she wondered in her article why the left remains so angry even though Obama has been elected. In the end, she concluded that the left had simply gotten used to being angry. Basically, they've become deranged (my word, not hers).
But I think it goes back well beyond Bush. Way back in the 1980s, the left still proudly called themselves liberals. Then their philosophies were exposed for what they are as it became obvious what had happened in Britain in the 1970s and Eastern Europe etc. So starting around 1984, they found that the only way they could get elected was to lie about their views and to pretend that they were no "liberals." This realization — that the contemptible little public would never buy into their grandiouse dreams — seemed to be the beginning of their anger.
Today's anger is just the natural progression, as this anger has gotten worse and worse year after year. Even the election of Obama hasn't tempered it. So what happens next I wonder?
If not, there should be. We should look into that.
Auntie + the future = God help us!
i thought it referred to the act of sniffing glue, paint, or Pam spray. Before I stopped going there for good, I realized they had huffed a ton.
Does Auntie wait around until someone disses one of her favorite sites? I guess she doesn't know we get free muffins from Arianna.. And she doesn't get any pie.
Huff the magic dragon?
While you're at it, can you please also see about proposing litigation to ban Trolls from posting on weekDAYS too?
I know nothing about the law (except for what I learned from watching "Law and Order", "Cops", etc.),
but wouldn't such a much-needed statute fall under the area of "public nuisance"?
Spicoli’s a prime example of liberal logic. Just think everyone this is the reasoning that’s running the country. Ignoramus truly identifies this America hating scumbag. As I thought about it, perhaps the three stooges will be a natural.
Are we still allowed to say "God"?
No! But we’re the counter culture now so I’m sticking it to the man.
Aw, Andrew, you don't know the difference between huff, puff and H. R. Puffnstuff.
But Saul, I just want make sure that I can continue to "challenge" them at the Sulking anger, fit of resentment, indignant pride and arrogance-ING-TON of BS-post! We need to write it so that it is like one of those "fairness doctrine" kind of laws, so they will have to listen to me at Huffpo, but we can ban them here.
I would think RICO because all they do is make a big racket and then disappear again.
Actually, in all seriousness, I love the irony that these trolls create. Their goals are two fold: (1) upset us and (2) try to make this place unusuable. But riddle me this — what happens when these guys post? We all have a grand old time playing with them and joking around with each other. Thus, their posting does the exact opposite of what they want — they drive up the response count and they give us an excuse to have a goofy, good time.
Funny huh?
Sure I do. One is a drug reference hidden as a kiddie show. The next is a plane that killed Viet Cong. And the third is a wretched hive of scum and idiocy.
Whatever they are taking over at Huffpo, it ain't Prozac! What they need is a good dose of lithium 'cause most of them are hallucinating…
You can just imagine our dear auntie with great anticipation feverously typing so she can be first on the thread, and everybody laughs at her, boohoo…
Hey Bev, Lawhawk and I were debating last night. . . you seem to have vouched for one of our trolls (cd) yesterday? Should we start to be nice to said troll? I'm all for adding fiesty liberals to the site, so long as they don't act like trolls and they aren't stupid (like Auntie). Thoughts?
OK. You did know. You get to stay in the circle of the evil.
They need something stronger, like thorazine. Then they can do the thorazine shuffle. It's like zombies, only not as lively.
Ok, this is creepy. I was going to say thorazine. Maybe we are the same person after all? There goes that tax deduction. . .
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha. This so funny and clever!!!! No, really it's just pathetic.
btw, does Andrew Price get paid to comment here? Go on Andrew; call me out like the troll that I am.
I see her sitting in her basement, rubbing her hands together, saying to herself, "I really got them this time. . . I really got them this time."
Yeah there are a few liberals that come over to BH and though I don’t agree with them the discussion is reasoned and fun. For what its worth that’s alright with me. The nasty/dumb Troll’s are easy to pick up.
Hey lost, nobody gives a $hit!
Nice try Auntie. Answer the pie question.
Wow, you really are scared Auntie if you've taken to hiding behind fake sign in names. Answer my question and the pay will stop dearie. . .
Do you get paid by the Daily Kos or the HuffPo? And you are not fooling anyone, Auntie.
Let's let go of Sean Penn. Every time I see his disgusting mug, I want to throw my new Macbook across the room.
Scared of what? Who is Auntie? What is the pie question? What pay will stop?
I do not think I am who you think I am?
Seriously though, Andrew, do you get compensated for being Big HW's most dedicated commenter?
Michael, I hate to disagree with you on anything here. I agree! But since I started reporting on Iran and Team Oscar's abortion of a trip there, and now Roxana Saberi as with my BH post today, I have found that HuffPo's Iran page is one of the best out there, if not THE best. I've referenced tons of their reports and links! Granted, many of their pundits are still hopeless lightfoots in the Incredible Naivete and Critical Thinking Departments, Sean Penn being a prime and classic example. But hey, he sells. Whattaya want?
If Penn was a righty, you think Breitbart wouldn't put him on the header? Ya, as if! But even some of their idealistic pundits are starting to wake up on Iran. One, Sam Sedaei, even questioned why President Obama wasn't protecting citizens abroad. That's liberal blasphemy! Hope Springs Eternal.
In conclusion, and as much as I would rather not, I must in the end praise Arianna Huffington and not bury her. Though much of HuffPo is KOS-like in its cognitive dissonance, their Iran and Sudan pages are outstanding examples of reporting on those troubled nations, when too few of their colleagues in the so-called media are as silent as Hollywood on Iran. However begrudgingly, credit where credit is due.
Maybe Federally mandated anger management with a combination of thorazine and a nice soft room with pictures of kittens "hanging in there"!
Does letting go of Sean Penn mean there will be even more posts about Janeane Garofalo. God help us all!
Well, I was getting a little tired of having to shuffle the receipts around so the feds couldn't figure it out anyway. Besides, we can always dip into the trust accounts, blame it on the accountants, and get appointed to the Cabinet.
But if we're going to join the cabinet, why pay our taxes at all?
You rotten monster. . . I know who you are now! You are a hazard to us all Mr. Smithereens.
Auntie…where's you're fuzzy bunny friend?
And, you get -30 points for lack of originality for this crack "Don't quit your day job."
Uaaaaa. Biting, sharp, wit, coming from someone without any sense of humor at all.
Not over.
I don't read DKos, as a matter of fact. And as far as I can tell there is no single commenter on Huff who could compare with the ubiquitous Mr. Price. And really I am not Auntie.
Oooh. Kittens. Although I admit I sometimes prefer the orangutan hanging by one hand and scratching his head with the other saying "just when I had all the answers, they changed all the questions."
CD is okay. He/She is the only one I vouch for simply because he/she at least has a sense of humor! We need to keep Auntie around simply so we can torment her. Keeping our trolls is fun and assuages my need to start any unnecessary or illegal wars or horde all of my millions and making more poor people. Without them, I may feel the need to waterboard someone unnecessarily! Actually, they are providing an essential service to us and our country.
Oh Bev, if it will keep you from destroying the human race, I'll be nice to CD. But not Auntie. Auntie gets nothing but contempt until she has the nerve to answer my question!
Oh no you don't.
Calm down Lawhawk! Put the artillery back into the drawer, he means no harm!
Plus, admittedly, he's the best troll we have — and he's only half trying!
Thanks for this comment John. I merely looked up the word Huff in the dictionary the other morning right after reading Penn's post and that is what inspired this post — I thought it was funny. Like how Bernie Made Off with all that loot — or the Obamanation we live in. So it's not to be taken too seriously. It's political humor pointed at those who deserve a poke!
I apologize (kinda like Obama) I was supposed to be on "troll patrol" but I have papers due and finals right around the corner.
Yo, mamma knucklehead. Don't act so queue deary. Here's your pie ➦http://www.screencast.com/users/GooDDaDDy/folders...
I can smell a poser, and meat of lefty troll from miles off.
Not Over.
Really, REALLY, cross your heart and hope to die, stick a needle in your eye? Mr.Price isn't ubiquitous, he is an American.
I didn't say you had to be NICE to them! I say tie Auntie up and waterboard her until she answers "the question"!
Don't worry about, I'm a lawyer — we can't be truly nice.
Why if it isn't Janet N! How ya doing, girlfriend? How about some pie?
Will you people stop saying that. . . I'm big boned, that's all.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm………….troll pie.
Speaking as neutrally as possible, um…. Sean Penn IS a really ugly dude, I mean, come on people. Not a Henry Waxman type train wreck, but still….sheesh…I bet he's happy his Dad was a Hollywood director.
Hoooah!! You go brother!
That's what I'm gonna tell the IRS when they come to get me…"But officer, I was just preparing for my cabinet post!"
It's one of the rules. You don't pay your taxes until you've been appointed. How soon do you thing the Obamassiah will be appointing us?
Or just water board him/her/it, Janet N. for fun.
It sucks to be Auntie!
OK. But I'm still going to take a couple of practice shots first.
They turn on each other. Rabid dogs can't help themselves.
How did I do this time?
That a 10-4, Good Buddy! Just making a Point of Parliamentary Procedure. It's not like you'll see me in their cheerleading squad.
This is the best you can do?
Man, that is sad.
This is kinda like, “What’s my Line.” Or name that Troll!
Wow. What a clever post.
I dunno… maybe another Jonestown is in order?
Actually, in Obama's defense (This won't happen often, so take note), it is not the job of the federal government to protect private citizens abroad. Once you leave our borders, you are no longer protected by the US Goverment and must obey the laws of whatever border you are within no matter how unjust they may be. That being said, our government can apply pressure through diplomatic means, but as we have learned, those countries to not have to abide by anything but their own laws.
One of these is you? Which one?
Oh no, now I get it… lostconservative — you live in SF. Holy cow!
I have a new suspicion. And if I'm right, then you will be SHOCKED!
I wouldn't hold my breath.
Think I'll try that myself.
I suspect that does come next. What worries me (honestly) is that these people seem to be getting angrier and angrier. This cannot lead to good.
I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed. What would you find in San Francisco. I'll give you a hint. It wouldn't be a conservative.
My "how did I do" meant aren't you proud of me that I didn't go on a rant.
Collateral damage? External interference? I must say one thing: I'm glad I'm not in Law Enforcement anymore.
See above, at the end of the other thread.
I can see why. Look at those idiots who first hit the US news in Seattle (ironically) when they went after the G-20. Protesting has started to give away to property damage and tossing of (still small scale) fire bombs. The animal liberation people destroy labs and mail bombs to scientists. The ELF idiots burn down developments and car dealerships.
This is all building up. And what's even more troubling, is that it's spreading. When you look at the Huffers, they routinely say things that would have shocked themselves ten years before. And, like all addictions, it is building on itself.
So how far does it go? If history is a guide, it can go pretty far, pretty fast.
Very good Trolling Hawk!
So it's not you? That's too bad — I was about to be VERY impressed.
So it probably is Alan then.
That was my guess when he replied to foundliberal. Nobody but a troll genius would take on the great and powerful foundliberal.
This is twice now. Damn he's good.
Speak for yourself, Andrew. I'm lovable.
And aren't we going to feel like fools if we're wrong?
The most interesting thing about Sean Penn's articles on HP is the fact that they do not allow open comments. Instead, you greeted with "This comment is pending approval and won't be displayed until it is approved." This is much the same thing you used to see on Obama's YouTube channel during the election. (As evidenced here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KascOu7Plss&fe...
Not only does Sean Penn state his claim as the world's largest tyrant apologist, but he also breaks the cardinal rule of progressiveness, and denies free speech to his detractors.
If you don't believe me, go to his blog post: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/sean-penn/smiles-fo... and try to make a comment.
Probably, but what's new about that?
So you keep telling us. . .
Andrew: So riddle me this–how come the only one who got me into a three paragraph rant was a fake? The quality of trolldom is much strained, it droppeth as the acid rain from heaven. I think this all means that when it comes to quality trolliferousness, we have met the enemy, and he is us.
Oh yeah. I forgot.
So when do you think we'll hear from lostconservative?
He's lying in wait, ready to spring when we break. But we will not break! We are Spartacus!
Because the truth is that the trolls are idiots. Take Auntie. Everything this fool does backfires on her because she comes across as a parody of trolldom. She's a comedy routine and nothing more.
You know right off the bat that Auntie isn't very smart and that she couldn't formulate an argument if she tried — she's just repeating things she's been told, like a parrot. Moreover, she really doesn't understand us. She comes across like a twelve year old who has stumbled into a room of grown ups and is simply out of her league.
But our mystery "troll," he's a clever fellow with a great deal of wit and a wicked sense of humor. His posts come across as rational and serious, and give you the sense that he's ready to put up a good argument. Plus, he's pretty good at reading people and leading them down the path so to speak. It's like he's holding out the promise that you could convince him if you just said the right thing — and then he takes it away. It's really quite well done. The other trolls should hire him for training.
A very eloquently stated Point of Parliamentary Procedure, Bev! See, this is what I love about BH and free speech. Here we have a non-lover of the Obamamessiah giving credit where credit is due. Which I have done myself. It is something you will NEVER see from the Left with a Republican in the White House! Reasoned debate, I mean. Funny. We're the only enemy they'll NEVER negotiate with, LOL!
All that said, I'm still for the gas cutoff and resultant rioting in Iran. B-52s as a last resort. Committing a real crime in a foreign nation is one thing. You're on your own there. But what does American citizenship mean, if our government stands by during a gross miscarriage of justice like this?
Iranian authorities told SOS Clinton they would release her soon on March 6th. It is now April 25th, fifty days and an unjust eight-year sentence for espionage later. Soon enough for you? Or do we wait another 444 days, or even eight years, in the name of diplomacy? Time to enforce their original promise.
Objection Noted. Overruled.
I will posit the question I give to all liberals and/or trolls. How? How is he pathetic? Where do you disagree, specifically? I just feel cheated because All the conservative books I read are about half-filled with references and indexes but all the liberal ones are half full of forwards and acknowledgements. So please, give me something specific, concrete, or cited.
Know what- I think you have a point! It IS fun poking them with sharp sticks, and they even keep coming back for more like those "whack-a-moles" (whack-a-TROLLS?!).
; – )
I admire your pluck, but do you really think they hear ANYTHING over at Huffpo except for the constantly droning mantra in their heads that goes: "Yes, we can, yes we CAN, change we can believe in, change we can BELIEVE in"…?
Just FYI, Fascism is when the government takes over the means of production, ie, private industry. What Obama is doing is fascism. But when you say you're anti-fascist, I can only assume you mean it in the way that Conservatives are Fascist. Nothing could be further from the truth. We support free enterprise and would love nothing more than for the government to mind it's own business and go back to doing its job, protecting the USA from outside threats by any means necessary. Essentially, we're the anti-fascists.
Apology accepted James- "papers due and finals right arond the corner" is an excellent excuse for having to neglect "troll patrol".
However, your apology to me is actually nothing LIKE Obama's, because I am not a tinhorn scumbag "Generalissimo" like Chavez, or a lunatic apocalyptic Jihadi swine like Ahmanutjob, or a treacherous, venal, hypocritical Wahabi despot like King Fahd.
I'm just sayin'…; – )
No worse than you twisting the meaning of fascist around to make it sound like a right-wing phenomenon instead of the leftist, statist ideology it actually is. I'm still waiting for an answer on how you justify calling conservatives uneducated as a category, or do you have anything floating around in that head of yours besides a collection of talking points?
I personally was going to suggest cyanide, but that might be a bit overboard. Also probably hard to get a hold of.
