Welcome to kindergarten…
- John “Poopy Head” Ruskin compares a journalist — Rich Miller — who covers Springfield and other Illinois political matters to Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber. Why? Because Miller posted a few facts that put the lie to the spin being promoted by a comrade of Ruskin’s. In his role as a reporter, Miller has gone after Dems, GOPs and even Greens with equal aplomb when they fib, flop or go flakey, as Sen. Steve Rauschenberger has been doing of late in his anti-Obama zeal. This isn’t the first time the pseudonymous Ruskin has flailed around spewing crap instead of keeping his bizarre inanities to himself… (What’s that? There’s a financial stake for the denizens of Illinois Review to prop up the head of the United Republican Fund, an organization that so many of them also help operate? Go figure…)
- Jill “Likes Sex Ed” Stanek once compared an incumbent, duly elected State Senator to a porn star and, when called out for her depravity, upped the ante by continuing to make a fool of herself. Why? Because said State Senator was advocating for a vaccine that former nurse Stanek didn’t like. Instead of rational debate, are porn references really how Jill would rather get her jollies?
- Lee “Wets His Pants” Newcom recently claimed a Democratic candidate for Congress was “aiding terrorists” even though she’s not even in Congress. Why? Because he has nothing better to do at his day job working for the citizens of McLean County, apparently. Or perhaps it’s because he has no valid explanation for why he would choose to trample on our Constitution instead of upholding our rights.
And an honorable dunce cap mention must go to ilgopnet.com’s Warner Todd “Has a Problem Alright” Huston, for comparing a duly elected, incumbent Congresswoman to a brutal African dictator simply because she wants folks to be able to eat their dinner in peace.
Someone calling out your comrades on their lies? Call ‘em a Unabomber!
Upset that a legislator is advocating potentially life-saving medicine? Compare her to a porn star and ask about her sex life.
A legislator running for Congress from the party you oppose? Squeal like a stuck pig that they’re “aiding terrorists” even though they’re not even in office (yet) and they don’t even know any terrorists in the first place … all while trying to hide from the fact that you want to literally rip out parts of the Bill of Rights.
Crabby because a Democratic Congresswoman is sitting in a seat you thought should go to a Republican? Claim that some innocuous legislative proposal is akin to the dictatorial policies of a madman.
Congrats conservative partisans, with each passing day you seem wont to gleefully dig your own vacuous holes of irrelevance that much deeper. It used to be that the conservative philosophy had some meaning. Now that Pres. Bush has implemented many conservative policies and they’re failing miseable, those scales are falling from people’s eyes and all the con partisans have left are their insults and self-pity.
At least you guys are good at comedy, even if unintentionally so.
(And, Ruskin, if it’s Miller time it’s MGD for me — though lately I’ve been reaching for a nice cold Berghoff. …Woof.)
Update: “A Republican Committeeman in Aurora, IL” makes the same points in a much more forgiving manner…
If we spent a lot less time on this sort of stuff and more time on facts and logical arguments I think we would be in better shape. You don’t save too many people preaching the same message to choir.
If you think his facts or analysis is wrong provide reasons not cute little things about ’secret locations’.
By spending “a lot less time on this sort of stuff” I take it to mean OneMan isn’t a fan of calling people “poodles”.
I tend to find that sort of dysfunctionally juvenile crap hysterically funny, however, and (obviously) enjoy going toe to toe with that sticks-and-stones crowd. Somebody’s gotta do it or “Ruskin” might get an ego as big as his (poopy) head.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the thin-skinned “Ruskin” up and calls OneMan a Nazi just for pointing out the obvious.

Welcome to the Dawg Pound, Dan. Woof-Woof.
Cracks me up that Ruskin slams Miller and then tosses me in for kicks at the end as if I was just following along.
The goof couldn’t even figure out I posted on Rauschy’s drivel before Miller. Miller just added a few more facts to disprove even more of Rauschy’s warmed-over spin.
Have a beer, Dan. It’s Miller Time!

Oddly: I was sipping an Irish red when I surfed on over here.
Oh well, head on over to Jill Stanek’s joint to hear about the latest hoax she fell for.

I just realized something. In that picture, Rich Miller doesn’t really look like the unabomber. He may look like Alan Rickman in Diehard though.
Doh!

Rob, that’s one of your Best Blog Posts Ever (parents of small children will get the capitalization).
As for who Ruskin is – don’t expend another nanowatt of energy worrying. The only thing small people like that care about is exactly what you’d be giving them by looking for that information. Again, the parent thing; don’t reward behavior you don’t want with the one thing the child wants – your attention.
That said, the best response is the kind of post Rob put up. It’s akin to saying to the hairy-chested, badly-toupee’d Corvette driver, in the presence of his underage escort, “Man, you must be seriously underendowed.”
So keep it up with the “Snark In Quotes” middle names – reminds everyone how childish they really are. I can hear them stamping their little footsies right now, all red-faced and sweaty.
Remember, this is the same bunch who thought that Jim “Four Time Loser” Oberweis was a good idea for IL-14 and that Alan “I’m Too Fascist For My Shirt (sing it with me)” Keyes was a good idea to serve up as cannon fodder for Senator Obama.

Cap letters are so 36 seconds ago.
All the kühl kidz use hyphens now. Even “Ruskin” sez so.

Good stuff. Just so you know, “John Ruskin” doesn’t even exist. It’s what they call a “pen name” at IR. Most call it being dishonest with their readers.

That’d be why I called him/her/it “the pseudonymous Ruskin”……
