It's Sunday and I find myself this morning not being a very good Christian. Repeated more than any other command in the Bible, we are supposed to love thy neighbor. After reading this, I have to admit I'm finding it very hard to love Karl Denninger, one of the chief founders of the Tea Party Movement. Here's what Mr. Denninger had to say about Francine Wheeler, the mother of Newtown shooting victim, Ben Wheeler
Listen up, you incompetent and defective sack of meat -- your son is dead because you are unfit to be parents.
You sat silently by while your state and our nation erected signs telling people who are criminally insane where they can find the maximum number of defenseless people to murder.
You are personally, jointly and severably responsible for the consequences.
You are unfit to possess a uterus and your husband is unfit to possess testicles.
Every time I think the Right can't get any lower, they somehow manage to find a subbasement. I suppose I could rip into him for being so despicable but it's obvious that this man is terribly unhappy. As I have said previously, conservatives don't do well with children.
They also seem to have a significant problem with denial, specifically DARVO.
You, Mrs. Wheeler, having willingly and intentionally refused to take responsibility for your acts of omission and commission that led to your son being murdered by a madman now have the audacity to stand in front of the nation and demand that everyone else give up their children to murderous goons as well.
Go to Hell Mr. and Mrs. Wheeler and take your state and its alleged laws with you.
That's right, Karl. It's not Adam Lanza's fault that he killed all those kids. Nor is it his mother's fault. It's the fault of the parents of the victims. So much for individual responsibility.
The ugly is really coming out with this issue and I've realized that it's the case with others as well. When confronted with unpleasant truths about these situations, the Right categorically refuses to reflect and, sadly, digs in deeper. With the gun issue, liars and gun grabbers are everywhere with civil war imminent. Useful idiots like me are foolish because we don't operate in a state of full panic mode about the federal government 24/7.
The insecurity of these folks is so monumental that we are likely to see even worse behavior than Mr. Denninger's latest mouth foam. The threat they perceive isn't there but it's so very real to them that it makes me wonder just how bad they will get. I'm still leaning towards them all being big, cowardly babies but this latest attack certainly gives me a great deal of pause.
Like Colonel Potter said about Colonel Flagg, "I think someone mixed some locoweed into his feed."

This guy is on the same continuum as the man who faked a heart attack and held four firefighters hostage at gunpoint because his house was in foreclosure and he wanted his power and cable turned back on, the man who shot a bus driver and kidnapped the kid off the bus because someone messed with his speed bump, and the man who started a fire and then shot firefighters who came to help.
That's why these guys are so up in arms about gun control. They've seen what happens to guys just like them, and they know the SWAT teams in the black helicopters are out to get them too.
And that's why, after all the screaming about mental health being the real problem, the NRA is still against the measures that would be required to solve that problem. Universal background checks, more stringent and better-enforced laws against straw purchases and keeping records of who owns guns are needed so that when someone goes off his rocker the cops know whether he has guns.
I'll admit, I don't know why anyone needs to be blamed but the guy that pulled the trigger.
Oh wait, per the left, he was a victim too.
Seems most people want to put the blame somewhere other than where it belongs.
You two can just go fuck yourselves if you think this proves anything except that Karl Denninger is an intemperate asshole. But you're quite willing to over-generalize and make sweeping statements assigning guilt to metric buttloads of people who until now had never heard of this guy.
But he is right that "gun free" zones are a massive stupidity that's never accomplished anything positive, except to serve as an imaginary security blanket to unthinking people who operate primarily based on feelings, not reality.
Nikto's point about universal registration is stupidity squared because of course dangerous criminals will register their guns. Of course, he will be among the first calling for confiscation of registered guns (not all, just one type) following some atrocity after registration's failure to accomplish anything measurable. Then another type following some other tragedy.
The part about mental health is being opposed at this time is because of the fuzzy nature of the concept in the legislation, and concerns about how that will be interpreted and regulated (and anything left open to interpretation is open to expansion without legislation, pretty much a lefty wet-dream). It's pretty obvious that Nikto would call any libertarian or TEA Partier mentally ill, and Markto has pretty much done so several times.
But Denninger is an asshole, and will be swiftly and soundly repudiated for his views by nearly everybody. But that won't stop you two douche-clowns from using him to smear everyone who holds different views from you.
No, juris, he was not a victim. He, along with his parents, were responsible. Where was the dad in all of this?
Where was the dad in all of this?
A la Julia who needs fathers in this wonderful modern world? You wouldn't dare suggest that they are necessary!
Where was the dad in all of this?
Playing golf?
