Douchebags at Wonkette...

[Brooklyn Red Leg]

Ok,

I absolutely want to puke. I've read some vile shit in my time, but this one takes the cake. I thought the assholes at DailyKos were retards but I was stunned by the level of stupidity in one comment.


Is Austrian Economic theory the one where they march in wearing brownshirts and take all the businesses from teh Jews? Laissez-faire, uber alles!

Wow, Ludwig von Mises is supposed to be a Nazi? Whatever kind of screwed in the fucking head, pounded in the ass til they bled, fucking pretzel-like logic was used to come to that conclusion shows me that some Leftists are dumber than a goddamn bag of hammers. Fucking Nazism was a form of SOCIALISM that had at its core Corporatism. Corporatism is the antithesis of laissez-faire/free market capitalism as espoused by The Austrian School of Economics.

Let them be. Being angry at people for their ignorance helps no one. 10 years from now, there are none of us who will not look back at ourselves today and feel foolish. These folks are just so far from the truth it hurts those of us who know. Focus on folks who are already closer to the ideals of liberty --- and only need a slight push.

More effective, and easier on the soul.

If anything, you should feel sorry for them. They display their ignorance like a banner.

Don't hate the guys at wonkette too much. Their only means of generating ad revenue is to troll Ron Paul supporters.

This is probably true.

[Paulitician]

Mises was Jewish, and fled Europe because he feared the spread of fascism....

I know the comment was a joke, but Mises' political/economic philosophy is completely at odds with fascism. Social democracy, which from what I can gather most of those at Wonkette probably support, is, however, more in tune with fascism.

At any rate, I agree with those who are saying don't get too riled up about it

Smart people realized ad revenue dried up on the web about 2 years ago. The wonktards didn't and come begging to us for page views. How sad.

[RSLudlum]

This is a prime example of why I have yet to visit the Wonkette site; and probably never will.

[mczerone]

I just face palm at letting Bachmann try to expound heavy material with what seems to be a brown-bag introduction.

She's not helping our credibility.

[Paulitician]

I didn't click the link, but I probably would agree with their making fun of Michele Bachmann. I've seen a video of her, and she got things wrong. She's trying though...

Not to mention that Mises, Rothbard, Hayek, and almost every other titan of the Austrian School was Jewish

[DirtMcGirt]

Wonkette is a boring site , anyway I'm encouraged when gawker has had three Libertarian posts the past 2 days. Even though its filled with snark its better than those sites discussing newt and rush. I rather them talking about Austrian which might lead to RP or ending the fed.

The last line is pretty interesting:


We love you and don’t want to hurt your feelings Doctor Congressman Ron Paul, but this lady, Bachmann, she will not help you, with the rEVOLution. She is not *real.*

[muh_roads]

I can't figure out which I hate more...Wonkette or Little Green Footballs?

Yes. Those people are just mean, hurting, and uneducated.

[SWATH]

Ignore them, I work with a wonketter and they are ultra-"liberal"/socialists who love to rile people up because it empowers their sense of hip style. The more you get riled up, the more they love it.

Correct. Whatever post they made (I'm not giving them traffic) wasn't a factual attempt to say Austrian Economic Theory is nazi-related. The point of it was to piss off Ron Paul supporters, many of whom act like idiots on the internet and to drive traffic---a secondary benefit being some unhinged so-called supporter making some ridiculous comments for them to feed on at the blog.

The saying, "Don't feed the trolls" applies here.

If you are dealing with children who are brats, you only interact with them when they are being reasonable and you ignore their outrageous attempts to get attention. Wonkette is outrageously attempting to get attention, and if ignored they will either become civilized or shrivel up and blow away.

Ya that's a good point, I feel like I shoulda mentioned this a long time ago, but didn't have a good way of saying it. "Empowering their hip sense of style" is pretty much right now.

But I think the ultra hip right now is the Ron Paul Revolution. But it's still kind of "underground." It's like U2 in 1983-1984. When Obama/wonkette-type people would have been listening to Boy George and Madonna.

The Revolution is so completely hip that it is still misunderstood or undiscovered, but will soon become ultra popular with the main stream, like U2 is now.
Many of us will be tempted to say "I was into Ron Paul when it was cool." But let's not. Let's speak highly of all new converts and simply laugh off their previous brain washings or mere slumbers from which they will awaken.

We're gonna get there...

Ron Paul 2012!

I am sure the wanktards are already faking Ron Paul supporter comments. They are pretty desperate for any traffic. So I am sure they are already creating fake drama. :eek:
