Teh Stupid™ Must Be Destroyed

I am dealing with wingnuts of left AND right persuasion all over my newest YouTube offer. My favorite so far:

Wingnut:

Why didnt the building come down in seconds like WTC buildings at 9/11. uummm thats weird.
I guess the body of a burning terrorists can melt metal and a americans body can’t.

WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Response:

Piper Cherokee PA-28 Fuel Capacity: 50 US gallons (189 liters)

Max fuel capacity of a Boeing 767 23,980 U.S. gal (90,770 L)

Ratio: 7900 x more fuel

All planes were hijacked early on round-trip runs with full fuel tanks.

Folks, 2/18/09 is exactly what it looks like: a right wing guy stuffing his head with garbage and warping into a sociopathic personality. So I’m starting a 2/18 Movement, the core values of which are

1) Moderating the cult of individualism: selflessness

2) Countering right-wing media Stupid™: knowledge

3) Calling out “liberal” media enabling of right-wing media: courage

4) Maintaining objectivity: integrity

5) Being anywhere near as good as Rachel Maddow: ambition

Teh Crazy™ is any and all right-wing memes in any media that exist to maintain Teh Stupid™ in as many minds as possible.

Teh Wacky™ is what happens when politicians repeat paranoid nonsense even they don’t believe in a bid to attract brains containing Teh Stupid™ to their cause.

Teh Wacky Samsara™ is my term for the complaint wingnuts make when you drop facts on them; all new information reinforces their insane world-view via conscious selection. THIS IS NOT A MEDICAL CONDITION, and therefore no excuse.

    Yeah we see all those comments, ALL over that YouTube post.
    There are 2 of them.
    1 who calls you out on your obvious and usual distortions,
    and another that goes conspiratorial.

    2 of them, it's been 2 days now.

    You write: “I am dealing with wingnuts of left AND right persuasion all over my newest YouTube offer.”

    You title this article:

    Teh Stupid™ Must Be Destroyed

    We think you are 'teh stupid', but we don't call for your “destruction”.

    Check out your Huffpo article, 23 comments. They are think you're grand!
    Are they your friends?

    Have you ever read a Bob Cesca article. I know you have, you have similar style. After 3 or 4, you pretty much have them memorized. Republicans are the root of all evil and cause of all problems. Teabaggers are insane. Democrats have done a splendid job, but no one can tell yet because we are so deep in the hole of willful repbulican destruction. If we all just look at things differently we will see how well this administration has done and that recovery and salvation are just around the corner. Did I miss anything?

  • dweezle

    BTW, I thought you were older.
    Don't highschool kids calls people names?
    Maybe you've redeveloped it to a somewhat 'professional' level….?

    i.e.

    Teabag Terror, Teabaggers, Teh Crazy™, Teh Stupid™, Wingnut Mailbag, Wingnuts Are Smart, wingnutosphere

  • Teh Smart™

    Facts Matt, Facts….
    Joseph Stack manifesto summary
    Does the end justify the means, Anti founding fathers, Maybe anti individualism or lost the concept, Anti bailout and maybe capitalism, Pro health care and the hint of anti capitalism suggests signal payer, Pro social justice, Maybe could not figure out Turbo Tax or something, Anti church, Anti rich, College slight possibility of indoctrination, Elitist above the law, Anti big business, Broken trust the unions, Cites law, Victimized, Failed political activism, Victimized, Victimized, Victimized, Suicide, Marx.

    I count over a dozen left leaning remarks, interesting how it starts with Alinsky and ends with Marx.

    Throw in the Bishop shooting

    “A family source said Bishop, a mother of four children – the youngest a third-grade boy – was a far-left political extremist who was “obsessed” with President Obama to the point of being off-putting.”

    The lunatic left is a national threat, we need consecration camps or what ever it takes now.

    Really? That's what you've got? One relative who says the woman was a lefty? Wow. Impressive research. As for Stack: the entire suicide note is a Randian-libertarian screed, and he ended it by getting angry at everybody BECAUSE HE WANTED TO KILL EVERYBODY. Moreover, there are dozens of facebook pages proclaiming him a tea party hero. So if you want to engage in revisionist history, fine — but do it somewhere else.

    Don't like the names? Good. I didn't pick “teabaggers,” the teabaggers picked that one and then tried to disown it once they found out what it meant. Teh Stupid and Teh Crazy are absolutely what the right has to offer, and ALL it has to offer.

  • http://www.osborneink.com OsborneInk

    Yes, you missed a lot. The comparison to Cesca is the greatest compliment I've had today, thanks.

  • http://www.osborneink.com OsborneInk

    Teh Stupid isn't a person. It's an idea, one that's usually spoken (and allowed to pass by compliant “liberal” media without correction). So it's speech destroyed by speech. What's wrong with that?

    As for HuffPo: I have fans. I know, you're jealous.

  • http://www.osborneink.com OsborneInk

    I've blocked the troll, folks. Sorry, but he was getting a little obsessed. By the fifteenth comment it was clear he wasn't interested in a conversation.

  • Teh Smart™

    Yes Matt, must be a “troll” – how old are you? Great to see your respect for free speech is alive and well.

  • roger

    You are the origniator of Teh Stupid™ right? ( which by the way is hilarious that you try to Trademark it ( deceptively, liar ) )

    That makes you teh stupid.

    BTW the guy is right, there are only a couple commentators at the YouTube post yet you make it sound like you can;t handle all of them! Hilarious!

  • roger

    WANTED TO KILL EVERYBODY ?

    You want to talk about revisionist history?

    Do you have a reading comprehension disability or something?

    You're a fucking whacko.

  • roger

    Do you have a link to prove that?

  • http://www.osborneink.com OsborneInk

    The part about the teabaggers? I can do better than just a link, I have video:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLsKt4O4Yw8

  • http://www.osborneink.com OsborneInk

    Of course he wanted to kill everybody. He flew a plane into a building. Or did that stop being terrorism when I wasn't looking?

  • http://www.osborneink.com OsborneInk

    I am NOT the originator of Teh Stupid™. There are several right-wing organizations spewing it and it bears their trademark; the symbol is ironic. “Teh” is an internet meme — which I find appropriate, as the idiocy now spreads by internet.

    As for wingnuts: there were two, but they were ALL OVER the post. Multiple comments indicate an unhealthy obsession.

  • http://www.osborneink.com OsborneInk

    My respect for free speech IS alive and well, thanks. So is my respect for bloggers; I tend to not leave dozens of nutty, stupid, vile comments in quick succession.

  • rog

    You mean just how yours are all over here, and every other place you go?yes, maybe you're right. unhealthy obsession.

  • rog

    You claiming that guy did? Or was it more likely just too much opposition for you to handle?

  • rog

    Was EVERYBODY in that building?

    Go ahead, Teh Stupid's in your brain.

  • rog

    Do you think Rachel Maddow is an objective reporter? LOL

  • rog

    Are you blaiming the right-wing AGAIN? sheesh, pathetic,

  • christina

    Who said it wasn't terrorism? The voices in your Teh Stupid™ infected mind?

  • http://www.osborneink.com OsborneInk

    Oh, that's brilliant. What are we, five?

    Teh Stupid™ is not a person. It is an idea. Look up through these comments and you'll find all sorts of assertions that amount to nothing more than wishful thinking: Stack was a Democrat, liked Pelosi, etc. It's all bullshit and as I've said nine times now Stack WAS NOT REGISTERED TO VOTE.

    I also find it interesting that wingnuts show up in my comments section trying to establish Stack as a “liberal” (hilarious!) while simultaneously fawning all over YouTube videos and Facebook pages declaring him a hero.
