Dishing it Out
Matt gets threatened by a crony of Eric Blumrich, creator of that foul Dennis Kucinich ad, and Matt calls him out. BWAHAHAHA! Matt ought to sell tickets.
Sheesh! Look, Leftists, let me help you out. Here’s one of the cardinal rules of selling woof tickets:* do it to someone who will likely back down or who you likely can beat up. If you’re a pencil-necked geek--or a tub o' lard--what you do is you threaten another pencil-necked geek--or tub o' lard--not an ex-paratrooper!
Seriously, this demonstrates the total narcissism of such people. You dishonor an entire group of people—the group that voluntarily defends your right to dishonor them. But then you threaten to punch somebody out because, in response, they matter-of-factly call you what you are: a traitor. What do you scumbags want us to do? Sit back and be silent while you defecate on the memories of the dead.
Notice that last is a statement, rather than a question: that’s exactly what Leftists like Blumrich, Kucinich and their supporters want. They want their detractors silent.
*Verbally spoiling for a fight without the intention and/or ability of backing up one's words.









I would bet $1000 that Matt never meets him, but I don't think anyone would take the bet.

I just linked through this to get the entire picture. It occurs to me that a synopsis from beginning to end would be a great incentive to the guys and gals over at Camp LeJeune (my backyard)to keep their eye on Kucinich. Is there any way to gather all the links up into one blog, Juliette? Every American should be apprised of this, especially those in our military.

Former paratrooper hell, Matty's a Green Beanie [shudder...]
Would LOVE to be a fly on the wall at THAT ass-whupping.
Hey, Sis -- feel like helping a brother out with getting my Typepad site looking decent? I notice YOURS is bloody awesome... ;-)

Er...Wolf whistle in your direction, too.
Nice pic. Nice pic.

I just don't know how I'm going to sleep tonight worrying about poor defensless Matt called out by a Kucinich supporter. Oh my, what shall we do? Hahahahahahahaha!
The real problem is that Matt lives in one of those wierd Yankee places where they don't understand that sometimes a Lib just NEEDS an asswhup. Maybe we ought to pool our nickels and dimes for ready bail money.

Is there any possibility that we could get him to call out Al Franken?

First off, it's uncertain whether Jankow (sp?) threatened Burden or not. Absent any supporting evidence, it appears Matt just got his feelings hurt by something Jankow(sp?) wrote or posted.
Second, when was the alleged threat issued? This is also missing. Was it on Dec 11? If it was, don't you it a little silly to issue a challenge on the same date?
Think about it. Suppose you threaten me today at 1400. I decide to be a complete poseur and challenge you to go mano a mano at some bar somewhere in the state at 1930.
Sounds to me like Matt was just posturing. Nothing new there.

For those of you unacquainted with it, allow me to introduce JadeGold, one of the very finest blog trolls working today. Take a bow, Jade.
Jade has been banned from commenting on blogs all over the blogosphere (including mine). It is a master of the appeal to authority, the rhetorical bait-and-switch, and its very favorite device, the ad hominem attack. Do a Google search on the phrase “JadeGold troll” and you’ll see some examples of its finest work.
I would humbly advise our hostess to ban it from commenting. If she is not so inclined, I would suggest everybody take my advice – don’t feed the troll.

I get one or two threats a week. I've only had 3 actually leave a return email address and a name. I emailed each of those 3 my schedule for the week. Where I was having lunch, where I was going out, what building I had meetings in, etc.
Guess how many of them I ever saw?
Guess how many of them I ever heard from again?
These idiots are used to shouting over the shoulders of the men and women who are standing or have stood on the front line protecting their right to be idiots. They balk when faced with the realization that we won't hesitate to bitch slap them if given a reason.

Donnie: E-mail me about that Typepad thing.
Mr. Green: Noted. I've seen JadeGold's posts around before.

Juliette -- Will do.
Jadegold -- Troll though you surely are, Matt's Blumrich threat and my own "Boo-Phat" threat were both issued on the same day the posts in question upset the issuers of the threats...and neither showed up...although both professed themselves to live in the neighborhood and be willing to get busy. I suspect your behaviour would be the same.
Mr. Green -- 6'5"? Damn bro, I'm glad I didn't hurl insults your way...you've probably got size 15 boots ;-)

Jade Gold/Mac Diva/Guy Cabot is a well know troll whose own blog failed because no one payed any attention to it. So JG/MD/GC trolls around until he finds the one blog that hasn't banned his ass, yet. My apologies for dragging you into this, Juliette.
I actually emailed and got a reply from said threatener. He threatened my family, not me. I posted my response at 9:07AM. I was waiting from 7:15 to 10:30PM. He said he would show. He didn't. Mr. Green went along to make sure it would be a fair discussion.
I think this issue is pretty much dead at this point.

An intelligent Christmas
I would like to remember you that for Christmas make an intelligent present is mandatory.
I would like to remember you that your company may grow up if you promote it doing something good for all.
By the way instead of making silly presents or notihing at all, you can help people spend only few money in good ethical products of poor people.
By the way instead of giving a diamond to your wife you can give an awkward surgical operation to a child tha absolutely need it, or a year of scholastic education to a whole children class in India or Africa at all.
I give you one of the many possible chances, whith no intermediate and waste as i like:
just go to the site of The Shantidhara Social Servcice Society, (click here
http://www.shantidhara.org/) and let you give a school to thousands children with a small donation;
they are used doing everything with only few money.
Here many other ways to start immediately and be useful to everyone: http://www.liberaassociazioneilpopolo.it/inglese/attivazioneimmediata.html
I know problably you know and do these things, but don't be afraid to talk about with your friends!
So do your own act; cause it's too easy talking to stop wars, but where you don't sow love, there it's only hate that grows up.

Avid comment spammer Domenico Schitti picked the wrong thread here. At least we get a laugh out of that, but I'm getting tired of scrolling past all that.

He was a spammer? I just wrote a check to him...right after I filled out the check to the Honorable Musan Nwijabe who needs my bank account to move some money out of Africa.
