... whereupon he smote reality a mighty blow.


You'll never guess who wrote this (emphasis leg-humpingly added):

What will happen now? The Arars will retire on whatever part of their fortune is left after his lawyers take their cut; Arar's wife, Monia Mazigh, has turned her crusade into a permanent political campaign, even running for office as an NDP candidate. Arar will no doubt do the speaking circuit, telling tales of his suffering--not so much at the hands of his coreligionists in Syria as at the hands of Canada, ...

Go on, guess. Really, you'll never guess.

OK, maybe you will.

Levant refers to Meher Arar's "vanity website".

I'll repeat that.

Awake.

You moonbats think you are the intellectual elite, but have swallowed the ideological Kool-Aid. You champion idiotic beliefs and opinions, in a deluded and dishonest way.

For example you have called someone a useful idiot that clearly is not. This shows me that you don't know what one is, and that all you need to do is look deep into the mirror to find one.

Your leftist ideology hands you your views and your brains are asleep.

You are nothing but narcissistic, elitist, pseudo-intellectuals with the truth far from your destination, the truths have already been determined for you.

"You moonbats think you are the intellectual elite ...

And every one of your comments just convinces us of that more and more, Wayne. If you catch my drift. And I think you do.

Mike said...

A lot of angry conservatives about today CC...sore losers who are very upset about the grown ups and intellectuals being in chage again.

Poor babies...

Mike said...

Wayne the climate-change denier calls lefties delusional and ideologically stubborn.

The irony is so, so thick.

Ti-Guy said...

No kidding. An amoeba couldn't help but feel intellectually superior to a titanium douchenozzle like Wayne.

Drop dead, you asshole.

Dr.Dawg said...

Wayne has finally managed to produce a "one comment fits all" that can be applied to any post he dislikes, without having to change a word. Fascinating.

Reminds me, for some reason, of Gelett Burgess' philosophical paragraphs that can be placed in any order and repeated at will. (Scroll down to "Philosophy's Kaleidoscopic Range".)

"Awake."

oh go on wayne, you are not. you've somnambulated through life from one talking point to the next with nary a stray spike in the e.e.g. to indicate consciousness.

translated: you smart people think you are so smart because you've read books and developed critical faculties and stuff but i can do basic math, ya know, like when i pump my own gas. you disagree with all the right stuff that the guys on the radio say and they're on the radio and you aren't so you can't be that smart so there. and then you make fancy arguments with big words like fallacy and that's a secret dirty word for a man's peepee just like when they talk about something big being a fallacy symbol. you should be ashamed like us conservatives are ashamed of our peepees. that's why god fearing conservative men have sex in toilets where you are supposed to do dirty things.

gosh you mean stevie taylor, the conservative party mouth organ. when steve harper farts, taylor's teeth go a little brown, he exists to parrot and distribute the talking point of the moment. he is the very definition of a useful idiot. unlike you wayne. you're just an idiot. a run of the mill, pedestrian, useless idiot. hell, you aren't even in the right thread.


"Your leftist ideology hands you your views and your brains are asleep."


thus spaketh the stenographer. pot and kettle.


"You are nothing but narcissistic, elitist, pseudo-intellectuals with the truth far from your destination, the truths have already been determined for you."

mm hmm. this from a creature so deathly stunned that he can barely exceed the functions of cut and paste when it comes to echoing the party line. wayne, a man for whom his own sphincter is a turtle neck.

Jesus, Wayne. At first I thought you were being satirical. And I laughed.

The I realized you were dead serious. And I laughed harder.

Thanks for brightening my day.

wv=cluiess How perfect is that?

PSA:

Do you get the other apes to use the mangroomer on you, or do you do it yourself?

I do not for one minute think you are not smart or educated. This just makes you dangerous and destructive.

Your problem is this: Your ideology is so close to you that you knee-jerk react and abdicate your ability to critically think, therefore submitting to those that you agree with intellectually.

You’re on leftist autopilot, your reactions to politics, ideas, or my comments are ideologically preordained..... You have become one with the borg and you have the gall to say I’m the one going from one talking point to another like a sleeping zombie.

CC said...

Folks, I swear, I am not posting under Wayne's name to make all conservatives look like screeching retards. You're going to have to trust me on this one.

DoubleDeckerBusGuy said...

I would call bullshit on this... 'cept you would have followed For example you have called someone a useful idiot that clearly is not. with the line, In fact, he is utterly useless save the ever-present, brain aching, comedic moments he provides.

This is proof that we need to overhaul the "institutions" that should be looking after Wayne to ensure folks like him are safe and sound inside with fresh non-toxic Crayolas to play with.

Although, kudos to them for teaching how to "cut and paste" without using paper and those dangerous safety scissors!

Now, fetch him some glitter and glue!

Wayne:

Damn, can you ever project! Keep on trying to convince yourself you are correct in this, the rest of us out in the reality based community (be they from the left, right or centrist section of it) who have read you and your borglike talking points about liberals and "lefties" know better. Incidentally, you really need to get that intellectual insecurity complex you are so clearly working on looked into soon; otherwise you will make yourself appear even more foolish than you already manage. Which given how far down that road you already have travelled is no small feat to manage, yet you certainly appear up to the task based on prior performance.

CC, I thought you already told those damn Jehovah's Witnesses to get the fuck off the lawn.

wv = "loburot" *chuckle*

Speaking as a conservative (note the small "c" at least folks), who has faith in the CANADIAN security apparatus (which will illicit jibes here no doubt), I can say wayne... You are an idiot.

If you are going to beleive testimony given under duress, you are an idiot of epic proportions. I could take you into a dark room, and by the time I was done with you, you would admit to Pearl Harbour, JFK, and every single alien abduction commited in the past 50 years.

Torture is not a valid means of getting information. Never has been, never will be. Watch all the Hollywood movies you want... At the end of the day, someone who is under duress, at some point, they will say what ever it is you want to here to make it stop.

Our own security agencies have all said "We fucked up." If there was any doubt as to the status of the innocent and exhonerated Mr Arar, it has been cleared up by CSIS, and the RCMP... Both those agencies have fucked up tragically in recent times, but despite that, I will trust them far far more then I would trust a bunch of over enthused village idiots who think they can torture their way to information.

Oh, and as though it really needed to be said. Levant is a moron.

Lindsay Stewart said...

awright wayne, i'll give you half a moment of serious consideration which is a good deal more than you've earned. this, after repeatedly leaving your cpc dogma droppings on our lawn. you are a parrot wayne. a dumb bird that repeats back what it hears with neither understanding nor interest in meaning. to pretend otherwise is to deceive yourself and only yourself because we are not deceived. hell wayne, we've been mocking your earnest ignorance for ages now. you are, at the best and most generous estimate, a caricature.

but i promised you a moment of serious consideration, here it is. you are defending the renewed distribution of libel and character assassination against a man that had his rights and his liberty stolen away from him. a man who spent a year of his life being tortured, whose family suffered spiritually and materially for his loss. a man who our principle ally delivered into the hands of the syrians, a people upon whom you would happily join a chorus of condemnation against on any other day. you and the useful idiots like taylor and levant are basing this renewed libel upon the coerced testimony of a child soldier, held against all international laws and against the geneva conventions to which our nation is a signatory. your sudden revelatory evidence is based on the word of a wounded and tortured child.

wayne if i were of so evil a bent, i imagine that i could convince you to admit to killing bobby kennedy with a laser fired tomato jet. sure, it would take a lot of effort on my part and tremendous suffering on your part, but it could be done. it wouldn't be true or right or valid. but it could be done. that is the trouble with coerced testimonies and that is the trouble we have with you and the useful idiots wayne. it isn't that we get our talking points delivered to us by the likes of corky tenyucky. we react to these events honestly. it isn't our knees jerking, it is our gorges rising in honest disgust at the crimes done in our name.

recall if you will, that mr arar was exonerated of the trumped up accusations against him by both the american and canadian governments. his exoneration came well after the supposedly damning statements made by a child, that our government is complicit in torturing, were available to same governments and their agencies. the screaming chorus of useful idiots that are only too happy to point their crooked fingers and cry redemption for their dirty claims are basing this new slander on the word of a person they wouldn't believe about anything. a boy they wouldn't cross the street to spit on, whose fate they are only too happy to damn, against our own laws and standards, against our own morals and better judgement.

you want to stake your claims on the broken words of a tortured child and call us names for denying you a false victory. well wayne, fuck you.

the simple fact of the matter is that we are better than you wayne. we don't cower in livid terror lashing out and defiling ourselves to get even. we don't want to see our laws and founding principles abused for the sake of bigotry, hatred or vengeance. we believe in jurisprudence and the rule of law. we understand and accept the risk that comes with the presumption of innocence, the inviolability of basic human rights and basic human decency. it is you and the people you enable that cry to the very skies about protecting our way of life, it is you crawling, dirty bastards that are eagerly stripping away our rights and liberties and sacrificing them on the false altar of freedom. and again i say fuck you wayne.

Balbulican said...

I ask with respect: is there some reason that people are actually responding to "Wayne" as though he had said anything? Because he didn't.

Mike said...

That's why I like you Alpha Male...conservative yes, but honest. That goes a long way.

Ti-Guy said...

That's all I want from conservatives. Honesty.
