Wonder if Matt has ever worn a uniform? What do you think of the cartoon at the link, btw? Read it all, but make sure you've already eaten and guard keyboards from liquids.

Thanks for the warning on the cartoon. I had a ballbat sitting a little too close to the monitor.

The author is a smirking, superficial, massively ignorant young man who is far too fond of his own cleverness, such as it is. His illustrator is beneath contempt. This piece belongs back in the sewer it bubbled out of.

Disrespectful assholes.

Writes the condescending left-wing royalist Taibbi...What enables him to do so is a key insight: that while George W. Bush may be unpopular as an individual, fear and hatred in this country have never gone out of style.

"Hatred"?

I can't think of an opinion piece so perfused with unreserved HATE as this one by Taibbi.

The sophmore name-calling, the insolent tone, and the ... HATE.

This is YOU Democratic Party of 2008. THE party of hate speech.

[Secret Agent Man]

No offense but this is the kind of article where you’d expect them to interview the VC guards who’d say McCain would make a bad president because he wasn’t forthcoming and diplomatic with them when they were torturing him and his buddies.

You'd never know it from listening to McCain, whose kickoff speech is the same election-year diatribe that Republicans have been giving for decades, one long broadside against those goddamned overgrown Sixties weenie liberals who hate the flag, love the bomb-tossing enemies of America and are bent on the twin goals of ending the system of free enterprise and placing every aspect of our lives under government control.

Right there's where you dismiss the little estrogen crazed weinie polisher. I can post links until my fingers bleed showing leftist sites that are exactly as described.

Haunted by the ghosts of Vietnam, the one-time maverick has transformed himself into just another liberal-bashing fearmonger.

"Fearmongering", is that anything like telling people that we're all going to drown and/or fry if we don't immediately lock our cars in the garage, raise our government-monitored thermostats to 80 degrees in summer, and buy some of Al Gore's carbon credits? Would telling people that they're not going to reach their three score years and ten without a government run health care program qualify as "fearmongering"?

This is going to hurt Obama. Obama’s supporters are going to devastate his campaign unwittingly if they keep up this type of garbage.

[Fresh Wind]

Rolling Stone. Who else would put a digitally enhanced photo of Algor on their front cover?

[bushfamfan]

McCain is the new epitome of evil to these people. He will be getting A LOT more of this and then some. These people really have no limit to the indecency and hate they spew. They live on it. They’ll be exposed with Obama and this Congress however. Then they will have their opportunity to die for their ideology and take the country they hate so much down with them.

We (my daughter) actually had a subscription to this [civilized adjectives fail me] excuse for a magazine. I was just checking to see what the other side was saying. I knew I would need to have my sewer boots on but this is beyond my worst expectations. People who read this and are not furious at the disrespect shown in this article are complicit in the unraveling of our great experiment. God help us all.

Here is my cancelation request.

CANCEL MY SUBSCRIPTION #01———— IMMEDIATELY

The article by Matt Taibbi “Full Metal McCain” in Issue 1055 and it’s accompanying Illustration by Victor Juhasz is beyond despicable and has less class then a cow field in August and I am insulting cow fields and the valuable contribution they make to society.

I am on the do not call and the DMA Pander list and I will pursue further solicitation from your company to the furthest extent of the law.

Please refund any monies paid in advance of my subscription (especially) including this issue

[PhatHead]

BTTT...

Just thought the MSM (non) reaction to the cartoon in this article was an interesting contrast to the reaction to the New Yorker Obama cartoon...

Not surprising, mind you.

[TADSLOS]

I don’t know what Rolling Stone is whining about. McCain just told Nebraska voters that Chuck Hagel is a dear frined and has a place in his administration. You would think any liberal rag would embrace that idea. McCain wouldn’t even have to reach across the aisle to stroke Hagel.
