Next entry: WOLVERIIIII…Fuck. Previous entry: Oh Yeah, That Guy

Busy busy busy

I’m still at Netroots Nation (you can follow updates at my Twitter feed or at hashtag #nn10), so I don’t have a lot of time to write.  But if you’re interested, I was recently on the skepticism-oriented podcast the Big Cigarette.  You can listen here.  They got me to talk about the oh so fun pleasure of being targeted by a right wing smear campaign years ago, and about my new book.  Check it out!

The problem is that you were too busy to give us the Friday Random Ten posting.  I don’t miss the music—our tastes are very different there—but I always check for the cat pics, and you just plain let us down.  :(

I urge you to ban Knutestonehead up there: he’s boring.  And he needs another hobby.

That the best ya got, you pathetic cumstain?  “Dur hurhur, yer a GURL!” ?

Can’twe get a BETTER league of trolls in here?

Kudos on the GENyewINE Teabagger Typos® though, very authentic.

Is there such a thing as a right-winger who doesn’t take pleasure in harming other people? I’ve yet to meet one.

Hey great interview! Loved the explanation of “Pandagon”, if pandas had a Pentagon, that’s what they’d call it. Also enjoyed your calm description of what happened with the Edwards campaign & Donohue, and how nutty our US media really is about criticism of religion.

I must admit I’m against banning Burka’s. Wouldn’t call it fascist, exactly, but I think it goes against Muslim women’s right to self expression, and I also think it seems counterproductive and even dangerous.

Knute just came out against the nutty idea of the voting rights act…and the civil rights act…and universal suffrage…and universal education….

Comment #7: MAJeff, the God of Biscuits  on  07/24  at  10:22 PM

Knute, your writing style seems very familiar…are you RWC at xoxohth.com?

At the end of the show the two of them are talking about the gop’s manifesto in texas and the english woman asks if people from texas are obviously backwards. Kind of wish they had kept Amanda on for that. Especially after they told her she was like Larry David. A missed opportunity for comedy gold. 

also didn’t Amanda ban knute? I distinctly remember her saying in the palin conspiracy thread that he was gone for being too stupid to read the post and being generally evil. How did he come back?

also didn’t Amanda ban knute?

Pandagon allows you to sign up as one user-name, but have a different handle displayed. Maybe our troll is signing up as different user-names, but always displaying the handle knuterockne?

Comment #10: atheist  on  07/25  at  12:10 AM

that’s a pity but as trolls go he’s kind of boring and doesn’t really rile people a lot. Mostly I think the reaction is I can’t believe he’s that stupid maybe I should point it out.

Comment #11: pharmakos  on  07/25  at  12:16 AM

Do Not Feed The Trolls.

Comment #12: Punditus Maximus  on  07/25  at  02:20 AM

Awww, somebody has a crush on Amanda. Sorry Knuterockne, she already has a steady fella.

Comment #13: jessilikewhoa  on  07/25  at  05:45 AM

Too bad you don’t have anyone, Knuterockne, besides going steady with one of your hands.

“Too bad you don’t have anyone, Knuterockne, besides going steady with one of your hands.”

I bet old KanootyRockHead goes buck wild with a ménage à trois and uses both hands.  You can just tell he’s a real playa…

Comment #15: MikeEss  on  07/25  at  01:05 PM

this thread is getting really weird.

Comment #16: pharmakos  on  07/26  at  12:53 AM

Oh my god Knute! Are you saying that Amanda uses .... naughty language?!?!? That’s so shocking! I for one will never read this website again.

/rolls eyes

P.S. I gotcher profanity right here, fucktaster! Notre Dame’s football team is fucking putrid and will always suck the shit out of Ohio State’s anus. Lick my taint, Touchdown Jesus!

Comment #17: Yawgmoth  on  07/26  at  04:21 PM

Knuterockne by his own existence demonstrates that abortions ARE a public good.

Comment #18: BlackBloc  on  07/26  at  05:56 PM

So, a synonym for “Knuterockne”.

Oh, knute, that means “wurd dat dun meen da saym t’ing.”

Comment #19: Eric_RoM  on  07/26  at  11:40 PM

You seem to want to talk dirty more than the average conservative troll knute, did you ever get over the priest in the parish spending more time wirh the other altar boys than yourself?

Comment #20: Dark Avenger Guardian Chow Mein  on  07/27  at  09:04 AM
