As I’ve noted in the past, when I want badly-thought-out analysis of events that substitutes snark for logic, I turn to area leftyblogger Cucking Stool.

And I usually turn right away, because – sheesh, it’d be like fisking the senile or the handicapped.

But Mr. Stool’s outdone himself this time, going past merely dumb and swerving into broad, group-based character assassination, commenting about local conservative bloggers’ attacks on Al Franken’s old anti-gay “jokes”:

Geez, you go on vacation for a couple of weeks, and when you get back, there’s been a sea change in where the parties stand.

That, or  you really weren’t very sure of it before  you went on vacation, Cuck. 

 Conservative bloggers are now the defenders of gays and lesbians. Several right-wing bloggers are attacking Democratic Senate candidate Al Franken for some skits and comments he made more than 30 years ago that they, with their finely tuned sensitivities, construe as possibly antigay.

Really, Cuck?  The crack about our “sensitivities” aside, perhaps you’d like to favor your readers with some sort of link to what the bloggers are talking about?

So they can – y’know – make up their own minds?

That’s quite a change from when the Republican Party was trying to use same-sex marriage and gay adoption as wedge issues. It seems like just yesterday that the GOP caucus in St. Paul was trying to put the gay marriage issue on the ballot to gin up voter turnout

I’m a conservative, and I have been for decades.  Among my beliefs – marriage is a guy and girl thing.  And also fraught, but I digress.  I oppose gay marriage.

And yet, 20 years ago, I got involved in a gay bashing incident.   If you take Stool’s puerile stereotype seriously, you’ll know how I reacted – by piling on and helping beat the crap out of the gay guy.

But wait!  I didn’t!  I got involved on the side of the gay guy, the victim of the incident.

How could that be?  Doesn’t that go completely against the stereotype?  On what basis can someone like Mr. Stool judge me, if not by stereotype?

Y’see, Cuck, that’d be the difference between Republicans and Democrats; while many conservatives have sincere beliefs about what marriage is, we still stand up for the dignity of the individuals.   

 and that überconservative pinup girl Ann Coulter was calling a Democratic presidential candidate a “faggot.”

And you’ll recall – and you’ll have to recall, because Stoolster won’t tell you – that it was conservative bloggers that cut Coulter the loosest the fastest.  This blog included.

If Ann Coulter didn’t exist, the lefty media would have to create her. 

Indeed, as Cuck has shown in this piece, the do.  Over and over again.

Since these bloggers are now courageous champions for civil rights for gays and lesbians, it won’t be long before they call on Sen. Norm Coleman to repudiate his vote for a federal constitutional amendment banning gay marriage and to support the Employment Non-Discrimination Act and hate-crimes legislation.

Uh, you see, Stool, there again you miss the point.  Standing against character assassination of gays (to say nothing of violence) isn’t the same as debasing the definition of marriage (many conservatives, myself included, support civil union legislation while wanting to defend traditional marriage); hate-crimes legislation is broadly stupid, and deserves to be opposed by anyone who believes in genuine civil liberty. 

It wouldn’t be a Cucking Stool post without a dumb snark – the too-frequent tack of the dim left,  the unintentional irony of slamming bigotry by employing it.

Wait for it…

Wait…for…it…

They’ve seen the progressive light. I mean, that has to be it. The only other explanation would be craven hypocrisy, and that certainly couldn’t be the case.

Numbnuts!  If you can’t see the difference between defending traditional marriage and defending people against scabrous character assassination, then you shouldn’t be using terms like “craven hypocrisy”.  You might hurt yourself.

UPDATE:  My bad.  This piece of logically-retarded, snarky, moronic bilge wasn’t written by Cucking Stool.  It was written by Tim O’Brien of the Strib.  Y’know – the paper where the editors and gatekeepers are supposed to help make sure the content isn’t, y’know, puerile and dim.

My apologies to Mr Stool.
