Do you have any idea the mound of irony that surrounds this post, crackpot? |
|
|
Yes, he is vulgar isn't he? But he seems to have a better handle on what is going on in American society than most other social commentators. The over the top language is a tool that he weilds with some skill. Some people just don't understand. |

I thought that the Pundit was unusually and unwarrantedly restrained in his remarks. |
|
I do find it interesting that you'd much rather critique RP's writing style than address any of his points. While his langague is wonderfully, tremendously over-the-top, he at least takes your arguments into account.
If you were attempting turn the other cheek with your 'poor, self-hating, deranged Liberals' speech, you failed. My deepest congratulations on making yourself look rather more ineffectual and hypocritical than usual. |

gadding, could you point it out for us? |

Welcome to all the self-loathing readers of Rude Pundit...
Be careful you might come into contact with - TRUTH.
|

The crackpot whose name is on this blog (i.e. KMC) is a known teller of lies, e.g. his Mass Effect column that was so full of lies that nearly the entire gaming community rained down its wrath to the point where the crackpot has pulled the article and refuses to even discuss it. But you can google "Kevin McCullough Mass Effect" and find out all about his lies. The all-knowing Google is wonderful that way.
Crackpot, you wouldn't know truth if it smacked you upside the head with a tire iron. |
|
"Mass Effect" were the basis for why I requested its retraction. My apologies for the inaccuracies addressed the issues involved. Dozens of Gamers wrote and told me that settled the issue for them.
Since you're not a Gamer, I find it fascinating that you're so obsessed with that one column.Or perhaps its because that is the one episode in all my years of writing in which YOU were able to find an inaccuracy. How astute of you...
That would put me roughly at 99.99997 percent or some such equivalent.
Journalists (which I've never claimed to be) issue retractions every single day, and are forced to apologize for mistakes dozens of times in their careers.
So while I'm sure you'd rather me go away and stop speaking all together - in other words - you wish you could usurp MY 1st Amendment Constitutional protections...
Unfortunately for you it looks like... I won't be.
But then again what would you do with your life if you didn't have my little website to obsess over constantly... |
|
called now?
You dare call a bunch of made-up garbage and outright lies about a game you've never actually seen "inaccuracies"?
Silly crackpot: weasel-words are for the "liberals" you hate so much.
And you really need to prove that I wish I could usurp your 1st amendment protections, given that the 1st amendment deals solely with Congress, and given that I'm an anarchocapitalist. Go to it, crackpot. Keep showing everyone just what a lying little sack you are.
And what would you do with your pathetic little life if you didn't have gays/liberals/atheists/everyone you hate to obsess over? |
|
I don't know, I like the Rude Pundit mostly for the style and laughs and because we have similar takes on the unqualified psychology of most people I know personally to whom he's analyzing, and he does have a point about some of the...uh...shall we say, overt fear of Teh Gay?
It seems hard to argue at this point that the more fearful you are of teh gay, the more likely it is you have a well-stocked closet of your own. How many righties need to get caught with same-sex partners for this to sink in to the general population?
I have never for the life of me understood the concept put forth by homophobics that marriage between same-sex couples somehow endangers hetero couples. I mean, is Vermont falling apart? Massachusetts? If so, I'm sure not hearing a lot about it in the Corporate Media, nor do I see any objective analysis on blogs that lean right. It's just fear, as best I can tell, and of what?
Can someone here explain it to me? I'm straight, so I don't fear teh gay. Perhaps I should? It doesn't seem contagious or anything, and I don't hear many say that it is. It isn't like they're going to madly procreate their way to power, unlike the Mexoislamofascistchristianist movement.
I'm willing to listen. |

in NH. We passed a civil union bill last year.
NH is a very conservative state, with a big libertarian streak. Conservatives often talk about the nanny state - well, we chose to walk the walk. It's none of our business who loves whom, or what they do in the privacy of their own home with consenting adults. Love cannot be legislated.
I attended a civil union ceremony on Saturday, for two men who have been partners for 30 years. What else would you call that kind of commitment BUT marriage? Newt Gingrich won't be celebrating his 30th anniversary. Why is it okay for me (a heterosexual female) to get really drunk and fly to Vegas in a blackout - and if I wake up in a hotel room with a strange guy and a marriage certificate - I'm legally married - but two men with a shared lifetime commitment can't be?
It makes no sense. The majority of people in this country are beginning change their attitudes. The conservatives would be wise to do the same. The GOP hate and fearmongering aren't working for them any more.
Time to move on, time to EVOLVE. |

...constructs is that it is OK for two completely dysfunctional human beings, let's call the alcoholic chain smoking psychologically abusive late teenagers, to get married. Assuming one is male and the other female.
And to pretend this doesn't happen daily is idiotic. Let's just pretend.
Yet two gainfully employed, gentle, kind, educated people of good fashion and decorating sense who would never harm even an animal much less a child, are prohibited.
God gave us a brain, and "reason," and he expects us to use it.

"Them" for the, and let's NOT pretend it doesn't happen every day. |

The choice will probably be between Obama and a man who cheated on his first wife and then married another.
But in your view, Obama will be the one threatening marriage.
I don't give a rat's a$$ about your sexuality, but your reasoning seems to me truly perverse. |
|
gee, KMC, you just don't get it, do you? we're supposed to regard homosexuality as sexual immorality because your god tells you so? this isn't "sound reason and easy logic", it's simply plucking prejudice from the religious sky.
rude pundit writes in the manner he does of obtuse bigots like you, because there's no alternative. you can't be argued with, because there's no logical basis to your column. it's just homophobic nastiness. all that is left is disgust and contempt, which rude pundit captures wonderfully.
and "knight" was right. to describe your "mass effect" article as simply having "inaccuracies" is truly ruly hilarious.

find the article.

Happy reading, people. If you want to see the "inaccuracies" *coughcoughcough* for yourself, there it is. Chock full of hysterical nonsense like:
"We now know because of the lengthy track record of serial killer after another that addictive use of pornography was prevalent in case after case - long before the switch got flipped and what their masturbatory imaginations have given into became what they were forcing real live human beings to do.
And because of the digital chip age in which we live - "Mass Effect" can be customized to sodomize whatever, whoever, however, the game player wishes."
and
"It's called "Mass Effect" and it allows its players - universally male no doubt - to engage in the most realistic sex acts ever conceived. One can custom design the shape, form, bodies, race, hair style, breast size of the images they wish to "engage" and then watch in crystal clear, LCD, 54 inch screen, HD clarity as the video game "persons" hump in every form, format, multiple, gender-oriented possibility they can think of."
Of course, one can do no such thing in Mass Effect. And the crackpot got destroyed for his lies.
Oh yeah, crackpot: your words do come back to haunt you. Deal with it. It's called "reputation", and you'd better get used to it. |
|
"steamy sex scene"...which is merely just some dialogue and then a hand running down a window, you can view it here:

C'mon crackpot--lie to everyone some more. Do it. Keep destroying what little good reputation you might possibly have with anyone with at least one functioning brain cell. Go on and call it an "inaccuracy".
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! |

He is foul at times (some stuff I know better than read) but not so foul as The Anti Idiotarian rottweiler and his 'friends', and many other right wing sites.
And he nails neocons to the floor. Sappy conservatives he just laughs at. |

In your column you stated that passing the ENDA would somehow allow molesting youth pastors not be fired because they were gay; no, they could and should be fired because theyre MOLESTING KIDS, not because theyre gay or straight. Big difference.
And you stated that nullifying Dont Ask Dont Tell will somehow allow pornography into the military (I'm sure there's pleeeeeenty of straight porn mags ALL over the bases) and somehow promote straight adulterey (how does ending Dont Ask Dont Tell promote men cheating on their wives?)
You're logic is all twisted. The #1 threat to marriage is divorce, getting married too early, & getting married for the wrong reasons. Yes, American marriage institution is in a shambles. And yet no gay person can get married in America, so doesnt that mean the only group of people that has been capabale of destroying marriage are straight people? So how is gay marriage a threat to that? Take responsibility for your actions and dont blame a class of people for something failing! Thats so juvenile. "Oh my marriage failed, not because i cheated on my wive 4 times, we got married when I was 18, and I married her for her money...its because of the gays ruining for meeeeeee!"
Evolve, dude. Welcome to the 21st century.

Which is more pathetic it's hard to decide: the utter silliness of your "arguments" or the ferocity with which you cling to them?
You're ridiculous. |

In fact he is one of the best writers on the web, a sort of Peggy Noonan of the left (if you can imagine Peggy Noonan writing about lesbian sex toys)and he actually argues like a gentleman--that is, from facts, rather than by appealing to prejudice. His images of George W. Bush as Dick Cheney's leather slave, while not for the prudish, have the merit of being accurate, even insightful; and his critique of you, while indeed an over-the-top sort of polemic, seems no less accurate and insightful for all of that. |

After his lies were exposed. |

i try to read the work of the rude pundit every day. i appreciate his wit and the anger expressed in terms that seem appropriate given what he is commenting on.
kevin, you look like a guy who is between the ages of 18 and 42. why are you not in the U.S.Army? if you are over 42, and have children, where are they stationed? they are in the military service fighting the "GLOBAL WAR ON TERRORISM," right? you want to win!!!? right?
school and husbands and wives and kids and careers can wait! they will all be there when you or your children return from iraq. kevin, thankyou for your service!

I came over here expecting to find a few RP readers battling it out with this guys fans. Instead, I find nothing but RP readers and the only defender is McCrackpot himself.
Don't you have a reader base? Or did you lose the last few of them to that Mass Effect debacle?
It must be pretty demoralizing to find that a guy who dedicates himself to over-the-top crude humor, makes more sense then you and is taken far more seriously.
Keep on blogging though. Just know that your reader base is now composed primarily of RP readers who think you're full of it. Really though, you should thank him in your next post for linking to you. Otherwise you'd have 0 comments to enjoy. |
|
Is it true that those who are virulently homophobic often turn out to be gay themselves?
|
|
I think Kevin is a little no-talent jerk and I love to rub his nose in cold-hard facts on ocassion.....
But NO ONE deserved to have those things written about him. |
|
|
Rude Pundit's political predictions, at least the ones I have observed since Katrina hit, have been more accurate than those of cable and Network TV pundits. Admittedly, a small hill to climb. His analyses of the issues of the day, basic human motivation, the collective American psyche, and the tapestry these 3 weave, RULE. |
|
There have been several studies that convincingly show that men who have outwardly homophobic behavior, especially hostile behavior are quite often closeted gays themselves who express self loathing outwardly.
Now I don't know Kevin personally but there are more fags in the Republican party (Larry Craig, Ted Haggard,Rev Gary Aldridge etc) than you can shake a French tickler at.
Now I am an independent with no loyalty to the cult of the jackass but I'll just betcha that Kevin could suck a golf ball through a fifty foot garden hose.
Just my two cents

Poor Kevin is probably a closet case. Men who are secure in their hetrosexuality don't have to go around talking about the gays all the time. More to be pitied than censured. It's all very sad.
But, still, this "Rude Pundit" article is way over the line. |
|
Agreed that it was pretty nasty which is pretty consistent with his past work so it's not anything new. As one who used to find more common cause with the pathetic excuse for what passes for the political left these days (a group of knee jerk, shrill, politically correct identity based factions) I am just tired of all the squabbling and PC police blogswarms. What really did it for me was when I (and I am no stranger to volcanic rhetoric either) became the Great Satan for daring to refer to Mrs. Rodham-Clinton as a "C*nt" and the "Joan of Arc of the dry p*ssy demographic" both of which are true albeit colorful. That however is another story for another time.
Perhaps I will start slumming over here more often, Jesus spent a lot of his time with whores and other social misfits because they could actually be saved so maybe there are some principled conservatives who aren't goose stepping dittohead fascists and who really care about the future of the country more than their idiotic little pet issues and cults of personality.
Personally speaking I think that the Rude Pundit is an a-hole and an overrated one at that.
Just my two cents
