  1. No mudslinging . . . known associates . . . . my friends . . . the other one . . . McCain is the Penguin!

  2. Who’s Paulie Shore? Actually, I know who he is but I’ve never seen any of those movies. Gawd I’m old.

  3. It’s funny, Rebecca, but I wanted another poll option: “All of them.”

    uncanny clip.

  5. It is everywhere Dave. Kos, Ezra Klein, TPM, Ambinder. It’s called a blogswarm.

    I’d feel the same way if my whole worldview turned out to be a big pile of bullshit.

    “It is everywhere Dave. Kos, Ezra Klein, TPM, Ambinder. It’s called a blogswarm.”

    And with that long list, you couldn’t h/t one of them?

    And there ain’t nothin’ wrong with my worldview, but there’s no point even trying to go into it here in The Bubble.

  8. LOL. The Bubble. That’s rich. The Bubble would describe a place out of touch with the news and reality. I think that might describe your place, and the Republican Party.

  9. Can’t get your link to work, LG.

    It works when I cut and paste. Great article, and sooo true.

    “The Bubble would describe a place out of touch with the news and reality.”

    At least you’re being honest.

    But you know what? You’re right. That’s a misnomer.

    You will hereby be known as The Echo Chamber.

  11. I love it how when conservatives hear a different voice, or a different opinion, from their own, they call it an echo chamber. You are just full or ironies today Dave. Explain to me again how we are an echo chamber when we have Hube, G Rex, Joanne Christian, Steve Newton, RSmitty, Dominique, and countless other people who cannot be called Liberals posting here. Sure, we will vehemently disagree with them and call them on their bullshit when necessary. But that is not an echo chamber.

    Dave, you are a purest example of a Rovian Republican. You decry the echo chamber, when it is what you really want, but with only your voice echoing.

    Dave just hears “you’re wrong” echoing about him every where he goes. Because he is.

  13. Dave, you are a purest example of a Rovian Republican. You decry the echo chamber, when it is what you really want, but with only your voice echoing.

    Damn.

    “Explain to me again how we are an echo chamber”

    I do recall something about a real, honest conversation about banning people who disagree with you.

    “You decry the echo chamber, when it is what you really want, but with only your voice echoing.”

    Yeah, that’s why I started an Internet radio station with everything I own on the line and then ran out and hired 5 liberals to be on the air.

    Who’s out of touch with reality again?

    Hey…hey..hey

    Dave…dave…dave

    Welcome…come…come

    Back…back….back

    See, comedy works. That’s more like it.

    It’s DD’s extreme confidence, even when he’s on the other side of the planet from reality, that makes it so enjoyable to point out his errors.

  17. You are out of touch with reality when you would characterize a thread about banning people misbehaving as banning people who disagree with you.

    It was you, right, who banned Dana Garrett for some time, I think — because he disagreed with you, yes?

  18. FSP

    No. I banned Dana because it got very personal and he was on a confessed mission at the time to destroy me. A wee bit different than the referenced thread, where while you were holding the line on ensuring a debate, your comrades were saying otherwise.

  19. FSP

    And by the way, I’m out of touch?

    DD gets all high and mighty, even referencing the Rovian tag, and he couldn’t be more wrong. No mention of that, cassandra?

  20. Sounds very much like a Bubble to me, enforcing some arbitrary standard of contribution. No matter how disruptive or threatening it might get.

    And my comrades — those who have the moderation keys at any rate — agree with we very much want debate. There is certain behavior by a small few that is not going to further than.

  21. FSP

    As long as I have noman and Perry, I can never be accused of being a Bubble. Of course, there’s Smitty’s declaration of moderate independence and my criticisms of McCain and Palin, too. So that dog won’t hunt.

    And if you’re trying to tell me that you didn’t have to do a sell job in the comments of that post to convince your gang to resist censorship, then there’s no point continuing to talk about it.

  22. If DD is wrong you can take it up with him. Asking the liberal girls to defend you is not a winning strategy here. But, DD isn’t threatening to ban you or moderate you.

  23. There was no sell job. I just said what I thought. If the rest of the crew here wanted to disagree they would have piped right up. No one here is shy, you know.

    And by your standards, as long as we have you and Smitty and all of our wingnut commenters, we can’t be a Bubble, either.

  24. FSP

    Well, I thank you for your graciousness in allowing us to visit and your staunch defense of our ability to comment.

    I’m actually old enough to remember when this episode first aired. But the best criminal was Tallulah Bankhead as The Black Widow, dragging around her $30,000 mink coats on the floor behind her.
