Seriously, 1,700 pages about defending the Constitution from jerks like him, and he zeroes in on about ten pages with no context, to make the trilogy the next TD.
But I'm good with it. I have always wanted my books to break out of the conservative awareness zone into middle America. I want everybody to hear about EFAD, then read it, and make up their own minds.
I may send Berger a free case of books, or some other gift. More publicity than I can afford to buy.
BTW, his own crummy book “Jihad Joe” even had glowing reviews by the NYT, and it still only sold about a thousand books in its entire first year, very roughly guesstimating based on his #350,000 Amazon ranking, and only 8 reviews. In a year after the NYT plugged it in a review! Can you say, “stinker?” And his next book project is going to be about those heroic infiltrators of the deadly dastardly dreaded “right wing racist militias.”
I kid you not.
Maxwell Smart for sure, or “Double Naught Spy” Jethro Bodine.
He never spent a day in the military or LE, so I’m guessing he was not in the CIA either, so he’s just a nobody wannabee gumshoe freelance writer for hire. With a cool website named “Intelwire!” Whoah!
That's perfect for Twitter, where Bergman/McGoohan meets his imaginary Twitter friends.
I wonder if any of them know who McGoohan was, or even had the fleeting thought that it was not Mr. Intelwire himself, JM Berger?
I just hope they don't axe the Daily Beast bit. That will be worth more than my annual ad budget. And if it helps to sell his new book on the eeevvvilllll white racist gun nut militias, (and the heroic feds who infiltrate them), that's also fine with me. We'll boost each others sales; his up to possibly measurable, mine a bit higher.
Yeah, right. And I'm available to work as a ballerina or an NFL defensive lineman.
McGee BTT. I find the thing a little creepy, to be honest. "Patriot Movement"? Turner Diaries? Somebody is doing some serious fantasizing here and it ain't healthy. And no, I don't think he's read the books.
You should have told him about the coded messages you put in the paragraph headings. Could have kept him busy for months. ;-)
Yeah, I forgot to mention all of the secret “go-codes” buried in the text of the trilogy. The entire secret nerve center of the “Patriot movement” is deep in a bunker under my house. That will be in the next Intelwire, featuring the reincarnation of The Prisoner/Danger Man/Secret Agent.
Does this ‘Journolist’ know anything about you?
.
>> “’Nuff said, I think.” <<
Absolutely.
This clown is a would-be David Brock.
.
I guess I’m a secret leader of the White Racist Gun Nut Militias lurking behind The Patriot Movement.
Or something. Skip ahead to the 150s and check out his McGoohan impression. I think it’s arrested development, as suggested by codetoad.
>> “Type of kid that still has imaginary friends” <<
.
Best replacement there is for no friends at all. What happens when his imaginary friends see through him?
.
My imaginary friend’s dad can beat up his imaginary freind’s dad! neener-neener. phhhhttttt!
Well, this is it!
Reviewing Travis McGee’s books is his shot at the big time; can he handle it? He might need some help fron the southern impoverished law center.
Matt’s been bucking the streets for some time now with his novels, so he deserves some serious success from it. Berger, however, who’s he?
You know you are climbing the latter of success when the klingons start attaching themselves to you.
>> “Berger, however, who’s he?” <<
.
Someone who recognizes that there are enough hot buttons in Matt’s books to get him some attention for reviewing them.
I hope he goes for it; Matt deserves all the attention he can get. Any leftie is likely to blow a gasket on them, and that is free notoriety.
I finally read this!!! Amazing.
What a slimy little skunkweasel he is. How can he face himself in the mirror. Leftists aren’t (just) stupid, they’re evil.
IIRC slimy little skunkweasel is the "Latin Term" for Liberal journalist.
(Further, Skunkweasel is an excellent name for a punk rock band...[/Dave Barry])
Yep, he’s trying to become a one-man SPLC with Intelwire.
I’ll be happy to boost his book sales, if it boosts mine more.
I’ve googled all over, and there is no link I can find between Berger and Daily Beast. At all. I think he was lying about the DB, and just wanted some nice pull quotes for his upcoming nonfiction snoozer about the brave Feds who infiltrate the evil Right Wing Racist Gun Nut Militias.
If he knows you are on FR, maybe this thread will make it into the article. Suitably edited to make FR look bad, of course.That's what I was thinking while reading this thread.
I read it back when I was trying to understand what evil people think and believe.
You’re not missing anything.
And nowadays, I don’t bother trying to understand them.
I have noticed the Islamicization of the 'Civil Rights movement' pretty much coincided with the New Left (Communist) takeover of the Democrat Party. Both have been incremental conquests, and they have worked hand-in-hand, to the point that the Congressional Black Caucus is heavily packed with avowed Socialists.Excellent short summary of the evolution of the alliance between the commies and the muzzies.Both have relied heavily on accusing detractors of "Racism", both play identity politics games while pushing their agendae.
Tying the (old) Black Panthers in with AlQaida, even as Rap Brown has aged and 'converted' to Islam is interesting. Most Black politics involved an allegedly Christian pulpit, not a Mosque, but that has changed and seems to be increasingly changing.
That Obama's alleged daddy is Muslim just connects the two further, imho, especially since his mother was a Communist, his influences were Marxist, and his upbringing included heavy Islamic elements, provided we can believe any of the fable we have been handed as to his origins. For all we know, he may be the product of a Potemin Villiage somewhere.
