The Foul Stench of @BrianBeutler’s Truthlessness Has Become Intolerable
Posted on | August 24, 2013 | 100 Comments
Brian Beutler‘s day job selling cheap Mexican heroin at the playground near an elementary school wasn’t producing enough revenue, and his weekend gig pimping kidnapped orphan girls to Saudi oil sheiks still didn’t make the nut. The cost of living is outrageous in DC nowadays and so, finally, Brian Beutler was forced to the desperate resort of doing something genuinely heinous, writing lies for Salon.com.
Yesterday, an AOSHQ co-blogger let his hatred of Maureen Dowd get the better of him and actually linked a Salon takedown of her. As much as I despise Maureen Dowd, however, the fact that she was denounced by Alex Pareene makes me think the old gal must have accidentally written a couple of factually accurate sentences lately, because if there is anything that Salon hates more than facts, it’s accuracy.
Generally speaking, every word published by Salon is the exact opposite of truth, and they only employ writers so fanatically dishonest that even such infamous organs of mendacity as the New York Times and the Washington Post want nothing to do with them.
Anyone published by Salon is a wretched human stain, and they’re never going to get a link from me, but Brian Beutler’s deliberate dishonesty got him a Memeorandum thread yesterday, and also today Pete Da Tech Guy went off on Beutler in fine form:
It’s about exposing you by simply reporting actual facts as they happen and the actions of those who support you politically will be the witnesses against your claims as Nathan said to David:
‘I will bring evil upon you out of your own house…You have done this deed in secret, but I will bring it about in the presence of all Israel, and with the sun looking down.’
Read the whole thing because it’s not often Pete goes Old Testament.
Remember that Brian Beutler was a JournoLister and is part of the “Juice Box Mafia,” which means he’s guaranteed employment by the Ezra Klein/Matt Yglesias consortium. And obviously, that helps supplement his income from sex trafficking and heroin dealing.
If anyone accuses me of a couple minor errors of fact here, it’s still more accurate than anything written by that hired liar, Brian Beutler.
UPDATE: Donald Douglas at American Power links — thanks! — and someone on Twitter remarked that I didn’t fisk Beutler “argument” which, of course, I wouldn’t, because I refuse to direct any attention to such an outrageous compendium of falsehoods.
.@dtipson Beutler's "argument" was such an enormous ziggurat of reeking bullshit, I simply didn't have the patience to fisk it.

Of course, I wouldn’t mind if readers wanted to bother dissecting Beutler’s nonsense in the comments. He is essentially saying that the Right is obsessed with race — never mind how the Left has been harping on racial issues every day since the dawn of history — and that the actual facts about crime are only relevant insofar as they can be used to support liberal arguments for gun control, etc.
And if you don’t agree with Brian Beutler, well, shut up, racist!

“I refuse to direct any attention to such an outrageous compendium of falsehoods.”
Yeah, I’m sure that’s it. Couldn’t be that you have no argument more advanced than “Nuh-uh!”

Unable to learn from experience, is he?

As the NY senior citizens yelled at Mario Cuomo, “Mug him again!”

You’re sarcasm dial has an “11.” I see. It’s not often that one can use “ziggurat” in such a fashion. Well done.
August 24th, 2013 @ 11:02 pm
Damn you, troll.

Just work up from a nap. I may have the patience now to take a long look at that ziggurat.

You don’t always need to fisk when the mendacity is so egregious. Sometimes the Joe Wilson response is quite adequate.
I refer of course to “You lie!” and not “I spent a whole week sipping mint tea at the poolside and never found any yellowcake.”

Or it could be that he’s a lying sack of shit not worth the effort.
As are you. No offense, but choke and die, asswipe.
August 24th, 2013 @ 11:38 pm
Man…you’ve been on fire lately.
August 24th, 2013 @ 11:38 pm
The old saying is that a conservative is a liberal who’s been mugged. If he was mugged and remains a liberal, he must be especially stupid then.

Self-hating white people.

Camille Paglia was about the only one on the Left that condemned their treatment of Sarah Palin.

No, he blames OTHER white people. I guaran-dam-tee you he’s convinced those bruthas would never have shot him if they knew how much he was down with their struggle.

Hey, you got chocolate on my ziggurat!
Well, you got your ziggurat in my chocolate!

Which is probably why Paglia hasn’t written for Salon for a long time. She actually engaged with people on the right in an honest, intelligent and funny manner.
August 25th, 2013 @ 1:29 am
Pity they couldn’t shoot better.

Again with the delusion that you’re being argued with, chew toy?

Funny that, you would think the left would have learned the lesson … Oops! History isn’t taught any longer …

Hey, don’t insult our neighborly, gregarious ‘cave-dwellers’ by comparing them to disgusting and horrible progressives. That’s just not called for.

When Blacks start killing Libs instead of 13 mo. old White toddlers in strollers and 88 year old White veterans, maybe morons like this writer will wake up.
And when everyone on the Left and in the Racially Intense Grievance Group (RIGG) from the White House on down makes the Zimmerman case a cause célèbre for “racial justice” that’s different, huh? Beutler? Beutler?

Lad does look a bit sedated in that shot. Carrying on in the grand tradition of Sidney Blumenthal…

That’s because she’s also morally consistent, which is just as rare among the modern Left.

Are you kidding? That’s comedy gold right there. He thought adding “Darwin Award” to his resume would be a great enhancement.

A few Morons suspect that it was Dowd’s takedown of the Clintons. The Left likes to pretend that Clinton is their Reagan and, coupled with the talk of a Hillary presidential run, thus Dowd’s piece was committing sacrilege most foul. I’ll admit I’m kind of on Dowd’s side on this one. (and Kevin Drum suddenly discovering that yes, there is indeed an Obama cult after finding himself on the opposite end of the abuse he and his fellow travelers have been churning out)
August 25th, 2013 @ 2:18 pm
It’s not just Dowd – the NYT ran an article critical of the Clintons’ foundation. I am curious who on the left is going after the Clintons.
Joe Biden’s not smart enough to wear non velcro shoes, but plenty of apparatchiks and handlers might want him as the perfect front. He can sit at the Resolute Desk making choo-choo noises while the Alinskyites and Cloward-Pivenators do their thing.
August 25th, 2013 @ 2:54 pm
Keep on losing elections! Good luck to you all.
August 25th, 2013 @ 3:22 pm
Ah. So pointing out that you failed to make a supporting argument for your claims results in me being called a troll, juvenile name calling and invitations to perform an anatomical impossibility. Nice place you’ve got here.
August 25th, 2013 @ 5:20 pm
Heh.
August 25th, 2013 @ 5:21 pm
All REAL Americans love them some tarring and feathering.
August 25th, 2013 @ 5:25 pm
Leave you answer, Beutler, in a voice mail at BR5-49.
August 25th, 2013 @ 5:27 pm
Some political watchers think the Clintons released the story themselves so that it would be old news in 2016 [Hillary in 2016 on the campaign trail: ‘What difference does it make!’].
August 25th, 2013 @ 6:50 pm
30 out of 50 governors. I’ll take that.
August 25th, 2013 @ 9:13 pm
By 2017 you’ll forget having ever won any elections, and people like me will drink your tears.

Read his response. I dare you to show your snivelling face in that thread, fucko.

OK. What do I win?
