Dear god in heaven, today's Sadly,No! Loadpants smackdown is entirely devoted to the Doughy One's thesis that Nazi = gay. No, seriously:

Nazi attitudes toward homosexuality are a source of confusion. While it is true that some homosexuals were sent to concentration camps it is also the case that the early Nazi Party and the constellation of Pan-German organizations in its orbit were rife with homosexuals.

There's more, so fucking much more, but this is just the icing on the shit cake:

Scott Lively and Kevin Abrams write in The Pink Swastika that “the National Socialist revolution and the Nazi party were animated and dominated by militaristic homosexuals, pederasts, pornographers, and sadomasochists.”


Rich in comments responds:
Wow. If you could get “closeted” in there, this would be a dead-on description of the American Conservative Movement.


And Der Rocketführer comments:

Scott Lively! There’s a wicked reliable source!


In case you don't know who he is:
The Southern Poverty Law Center calls Lively "the chief international envoy" for a Latvia-based anti-gay group called Watchmen on the Walls, which appears to be linked to the gay-bashing death of Satender Singh in Sacramento in July.
[...]
The Watchmen movement's strategy for combating the "disease" of homosexuality calls for aggressive confrontation. "We church leaders need to stop being such, for lack of a better word, sissies when it comes to social and political issues," Lively argues in a widely-circulated tract called Masculine Christianity. "For every motherly, feminine ministry of the church such as a Crisis Pregnancy Center or ex-gay support group we need a battle-hardened, take-it-to-the-enemy masculine ministry like [the anti-abortion group] Operation Rescue."

...When he personally confronts the enemy, Lively practices what he preaches when it comes to "battle-hardened" tactics. He recently was ordered by a civil court judge to pay $20,000 to lesbian photojournalist Catherine Stauffer for dragging her by the hair through the halls of a Portland church in 1991.

You can read more here and here for starters.

So, question, Jonah Goldberg, completely and soullessly evil, or slightly less synaptic activity than your average sea sponge? Discuss.

It's another day and another brain searingly stupid bit from "Liberal Fascism" over at Sadly, No! One of the commentors sums up the latest excerpt thusly:

EVERY SANE PERSON IN THE WORLD: The Nazis were fascistic because of their mass murder of their sanctioned enemies, their extreme rightist views, their totalitarian governance, their consolidation of state and corporate power, their persecution of despised minorities, their use of violent propaganda, their militaristic aggression, their intense nationalism, and their devotion to a leader with dictatorial powers.

JONAH GOLDBERG: The Nazis were fascistic because of their vegetarianism, their promotion of health food, their emphasis on physical fitness, their use of the word ’socialist’, their love of the environment, their defense of animal rights, their attitudes towards health care, their laws regarding gun ownership, and their fondess for organic farming.

So, in other words, what made the Nazis fascists were, you know, all the things that have nothing to do with the actual qualities of fascism.


And Professor Fate adds:

lord this is really the Moby Dick of stupid, the Finnigan’s Wake of ignorant bigoted nitwit gibberish, the Iliad of narcissistic twitdom, the Crime and Punishment of nonsense.

Yes they do, Otto, they just don't understand it.

So the boys and girls at Sadly, No! have been making their slow, torturous way through the Doughy Pantload's magnum opus "Liberal Fascism" wherein:

Jonah has literally taken everyone who ever did anything bad and turned them into a liberal. Why did the Titanic crash? Because it was run by godless liberals who mocked the Lord by calling their ship unsinkable. Why was Janet Jackson’s nipple exposed at the Super Bowl? Because liberals designed her dress to pop open and undermine America’s sacred values. Abu Ghraib? Totally a result of the Left’s perversion of our cultural norms. Why was President Bush so slow to respond to Hurricane Katrina? Because he was playing a guitar, which is the consensus favorite instrument of… LIBERALS!!!


Today's moment of Zen is this actual sentence from the book:

"The white male is the Jew of liberal fascism."


Roy Edroso's comment really sums my own reaction up nicely too:

OK, now I know you’re putting me on.

I’ve made a pledge to wait till I’ve read the whole thing, but I must say there is no conceivable context in which that sentence is not totally insane.


Though El Cid's response is pretty damn good too:

The dude earlier who mentioned that this book really came down to an apologia for the KKK now wins hands down.

I've finally figured it out, Megan McArdle is is Jane Christie from Coupling.

Today's post from the Megster: We're* [vegetarians] not pacifists, you know. Indeed, some of us are quite feisty. I could have joined the military with a clean conscience in 2002--except for the part where I'm a 4F asthmatic with lousy eyesight who was medically unfit for the State Department. But that had nothing to do with my tofu-loving ways.

*Technically, I'm not a vegetarian: I eat humanely raised and killed meat.


Jane on the subject: I'm an emotional vegetarian. I know a lot of vegetarians and we tend to like the same films.

If McArdle were a thoroughly un-self-aware sitcom character I would probably like her a lot. As it is I weep for the Atlantic.
