More fun with wingnuts

this was truly a pleasure…

I repeated this sort of interview several times throughout the conference. I’d look for the most attractive college republican girls standing with their boyfriends. I always tried to do it when there was a group of six or eight - 3 or 4 couples…

Essentially the tactic was to approach the girls, say something self-deprecating about me being an old guy and not hitting on them - I’m not a pervert - (now they’re laughing) - but that, (and this part is true), of all the political conventions I’ve been to, the prettiest women were at this one. The beauty quotient really was impressive. Now that they are really warming up to me, I pounce.

Given the fact that these young women are so attractive, I thought it might help out the guys they are with if the girls shared with us what they found attractive in a “REAL” man…

you’ll see how this develops…

[UPDATE]  Cenk, my boss at The Young Turks has decided he wants to use some of these clips on his Air America show next week.  This will be fun.

    Keep up the good work, Mike!!

    What’s with the salt-and-pepper look, btw? Very distingue’!

    You are a genuis, pure and simple. You are a master at how you present the question and your tone. It cut right to the shallow core of these young Republicans.

    Mike,
    This is a classic but sad.

    Keep up the great work.

    Have you ever thought about running for president?

    great stuff mike…but you really must take a page from michael moore

    dont let your feelings get in the way of your interview

    these pampered pricks make me want to vomit

  6. 6 Willie Mink

    Yes, I agree, the only speed-bump in this great, great work is the way you sometimes let your “bitterness” show. Play along more with these soul-less wonders. That way you’ll reveal even more deeply their bottomless pits of vacuity.

    “My husband’s brother just died in Iraq,” she said.

    They lie. Constantly. It is a reflex action.

    (Got to agree with bacci40 above. Keep refining your approach… and have fun.)

    Good going Mike, keep it up, we need you in the trenches.

    These rich kids don’t need to enlist in the (big air quotes here) “MILITARY” — they’re already members of the 82nd Chairborne Division — real leather-covered Barcalounger Brigade.

    I was one of those girls that you preyed on today in the hotel lobby. Not only was it embarrassing and degrading to be hit on by an older man who clearly had a hidden agenda, it was also incredibly apparent that yet another liberal was ignorant about the people he chose to antagonize. If we’re so anti-military, there wouldn’t be so many active duty young men and women here at the conference. They wouldn’t have been honored at the speaking events and dinners I attended, and they wouldn’t vote so overwhemingly with the Republican Party. Furthermore, Mr. Stark stalked Michelle Malkin (it’s spelled with an ‘i’, not an ‘e’, Mr. Stark) yesterday. And he also doesn’t appreciate American freedoms enough to inform the young girls he harrasses that he’s recording them.

    “I don’t believe that’s my lot in life.”

    The entire College Republican mentality right there in all its vileness: they are too good to actually risk their lives in a war they believe is vital for humanity’s survival.

    Being a Marine, soldier, etc., is just like being a garbageman to these people: your purpose (or lot) in life as a member of the unkempt masses is to struggle to make the world prettier for those born into privilege.

    Excellent work, Mike.

    “I consider dying for my country to be my highest honor…if someone put a gun to my head I would say ‘Pull the trigger’”. What a maroon!

  13. 13 Tommykey

    Right on Calip!

    Wasn’t it George Patton, every wingnut’s favorite general, who said “I don’t want to hear all this talk about dying for your country. You’re supposed to make the sons of bitches on the other side die FOR THEIR country!”

  14. 14 calipygian

    I don’t know if that speech at the beginning of “Patton” is accurate, but it seems to me that he was on to something. The end, where he says (Im paraphrasing), “And when your grandkid sits on your knee and says, ‘What did you do during the great WWII, grandpa?’, you dont want to say, ‘Well, I shoveled shit in Louisiana”. That is what all of these fucking college republicans are in effect doing - shoveling shit in the Omni Shorham.

  15. 15 Professor Farnsworth

    whatever, pamperedprick1

    you wouldn’t be bitching if it was an actual conservative doing this to you. then you’d fluff your hair and revel in your own hotness. lol.

    going after someone’s spelling? don’t you have any other rebuttals?

    as for your assertion that most military men/women vote republican….would love a source.

    by the by, got a comment about the Walter Reed situation?

    Loving your troops, eh?

    the blogs that you love barely mention that, while mentioning the word impotence over thirty times.

    sure got your priorities straight!

  16. 16 calipygian

    PamperedPrick1 -

    1) First of all, Pampered Prick is a funny (funny strange, not funny ha-ha) non de blogguerre for a female,

    2) as someone with 19 years of active service, I know the rules for political particiaption by active duty service personel. If those active duty people were in uniform participating in the conference, or they were presenting themselves explicitly as representing the views of the DoD, they have exposed themselves to court martial for violating DoD rules on permissable political activity,

    3) and lastly, yes, I do consider you to be anti-military because military service is good enough for po’ white trash like me, but God forbid any of you Greenwich CT motherfuckers should go without a shower for more than a day or otherwise get your hands dirty. Military service - good for poor minorities, bad for Buffy and Biff.

  17. 17 Professor Farnsworth

    oh, and as for the recording…..you’re only pissed because it shows you for what you are.

    …a phony.

  18. 18 tinfoil hattie

    Aaaah, lucky you! Beatuiful women at CPAC. Boy oh boy, that makes it worth going! Because that’s our job, isn’t it. To look beautiful for you and your purposes.

  19. 19 bacci40

    hey pampered

    unless mike was hiding the mic, how in the heck did you people not know he was recording you?

    and had mike identified himself as a liberal blogger, would you have answered his questions any differently?

    if so, you and your kind are even worse than i thought

    its amazing that you still miss the point of what mike was doing

    you brave warriors wont put your money where your mouths are, or should i say, you wont put daddy’s money where your mouths are

    and are you so obtuse that you didnt look at all the other pictues mike posted???

    this country is going to shite

  20. 20 calipygian

    Tinfoil Hattie - quite frankly any woman who would pull the voting booth lever for a conservative candidate is a self-hating, black-hearted skank who wouldn’t get a second look from me if she were the only other person on the planet. I would let the species go extinct before I bred with her.

  21. 21 AndySocial

    I spent 12 years in the military, and I definitely noticed a strong right-leaning assumption among the leadership, at the very least. When we had an election night party in 2000, every time that a state was called for Bush, the cheer was that “we” got another one. I continue to work in the intelligence community, surrounded by other military veterans; the attitude persists in the majority of the folks I meet, to a reality-denying degree.

    One historical reason for the love of the Republican party is that Reagan was in charge when Congress passed a large pay raise. Of course, Clinton presided over an even larger pay raise, but everyone forgets about that, and that the Republican Congress of the 90s actually passed laws that mandated the military pay scale was adjusted to meet 1 percent below inflation each year. What a way to show your support of the troops - telling them they will be able to buy less next year than this year at the same pay grade.

    I honestly don’t understand how people can look at the GOP and claim that they are pro-military, when they gut the Geneva Conventions, force insanely high optempos, cut funding for veterans’ benefits, etc. Every single thing they DO is bad for the military, while every thing they SAY is trumpeting their love of the military. It’s nuts.

  22. 22 calipygian

    Thank you AndySocial. I recall that Clinton had to press for a large pay raise to make up for years of neglect under Republican administrations that were more concerned with paying defense contractors than military members. In the summer of 2005, the Bush Administration acknowledged a $2.7 billion shortfall in veterans health care funding. The estate tax cut proposed by the Republicans will save the Walton family alone 28 billion dollars over ten years. It is obvious that Republicans love money more than us.

  23. 23 AndySocial

    I was in during the end of the Bush years up until the beginning of the Bush sequel years, so I got to see the bizarre attitudes up close and personal. In 1992, many of my coworkers and even my First Sergeant were convinced that we were all about to lose our jobs because the Democrats were going to be in the White House. This ignored the empirical fact that, at that very moment, we were in the process of shutting down Fort Ord because the Republicans were cutting a half million troops from the active duty military. So, people could somehow say with a straight face that the Democrats were going to gut the military, while the military was being gutted by the Republicans right in front of them. Many of my friends got “early outs” in 1991 and 1992, so you’d think they’d have noticed who was in office then.

    The majority of people who support without question all things Republican seem to have an amazing ability to deny their own senses to support positions that are demonstrably damaging to their own wellbeing. See Thomas Frank’s book “What’s Wrong With Kansas” for more general examples. The estate tax is another of those issues that affects almost nobody who is in favor of abolishing it, yet somehow they’ve been convinced that it is vital to campaign against something that only fairly wealthy people ever encounter. The PR folks for the GOP are obviously better than the ones for the Democrats. Considering the wooden performance of the last couple Democratic presidential candidates, it’s difficult to see how they are supposed to be the party of the media.

    AndySocial:

    It’s not that the reptilicans have better PR people, it’s that the “true believers” really, really, really don’t want to hear the truth. A pig, wearing any shade of lipstick will still be called a swan by those idiots.

  25. 25 gmanedit

    Business suit or military uniform? Easy choice. You don’t have to worry that the suit will come home missing limbs or part of a brain.

  26. 26 Andrew

    Pampered Prick,
    Re: Mike’s “preying” on you. Yeah, I’m sure you totally know how those congressional pages who were abandoned by the Republican House leadership to be preyed on by Republican congressman Mark Foley.
    If it was “degrading and embarrassing” to be hit on by an older man, why is it that all I can hear in that audio is you and your other vapid friends giggling with delight that this older man was hitting on you? If you felt degraded, why did you then engage him in conversation, instead of saying, “Ew, get away!”
    Face it, you’re only pissed because it turns out that the older man was just telling you were hot so you would open up about all of your disgusting, cowardly, and anti-military opinions, ie. you’re only angry the older man didn’t really hit on you.

    Also, of course any military members who happen to attend will get pointed out and everyone will say how much they support them. Well, unless of course you’re Sgt. David Thomas, who was uninvited from a ceremony for a Mexican fellow soldier who was receiving US citizenship from Bush, because Thomas said he would be wearing shorts (it was hot in the summer). Since the last thing you Republicans want is for the toll of your war to be seen, Sgt. Thomas was simply told he couldn’t attend unless he wore full-length pants.
    Well, at least he wasn’t left in a puddle of his own urine like that other soldier at Walter Reed. I guess when you’re a soldier dealing with Republicans, you take what scraps of care you can get.

  27. 27 djtyg

    Wow, Mike. It never ceases to amaze me how cowardly these conservatives are. I’m a liberal who did time in Iraq. These pussies never had the balls to sign up.

    I saw a video over a Jesus’ General and it’s hilarious how quickly these conservatives “cut and run” when they’re put on camera. How are they going to say they have the guts to die for their country if they don’t even have the guts to be put on record?

    BTW, PamperedPrick, I vote straight a Democratic ticket.

  28. 28 Andrew

    Why is the story about Sgt. Thomas special, you ask? He’s only got one leg, since the other one was blown off in Samarra, and the amputees were going to be sitting in the front row.

  29. 29 Beckett

    :lol: “I would consider it the highest honor to die for my country, but that isn’t my lot in life” Alas, his lowly lot in life is to drink beer at college parties and work on that business degree. The highest honor is just too often taken by blue collar sons and daughters.

    Oh, these people are just too much.

    Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go fight by watching some of the Cubs game and thinking about how pathetic are the elitist cowards.

  30. 30 democommie

    Perhaps Mr. Stark should have asked the young ladies if they would like to make it with some really hot, young guy who still had a major league Johnson, although he was missing a leg, below the knee. I don’t have the organizational skills and I have way too much bile to be nice about it but I think it would be a great idea to round up some wounded Iraqi/Afghani vets who are not convinced that these people are “giving their all” by having bake sales and keggers. I can only imagine the effect that a half dozen maimed soldiers–who were not Bushco fans–would have on a gathering of these despicable bastards.

    And he also doesn’t appreciate American freedoms enough to inform the young girls he harasses that he’s recording them.

    Pampered Prick,

    So you must be totally against Bush’s warrantless wiretapping program?

  32. 32 former republican

    Pampered Prick 1 and Pampered Prick 1’s male friend at CPAC:

    First, you are very good at giving lip service to your belief’s. A friend of a friend of a friend died in Iraq. Terrific. Why aren’t you finding a recruiting office and registering. Are you aware that more than 1/2 of the women are being raped. These are women who serve as well as Iraqi women and children who lived there before Bush destroyed that country.

    Next Prick’s friend…

    You’re pretty thick headed to not realize that you sound like a chicken-shit. Sure if someone holds a gun to your head…Hmmm…every day our service members have guns held to their head. They need more help especially since your guy wants to roll out a surge as if it’s a caffeinated beverage instead of some one’s child, brother, father.

    It’s not your ‘lot in life…’ you had the gall to utter. Do you realize that your lot in life is holding the gun to someone else’s head and that makes you a murderer.

    Hope the flames of hell find you to their liking. It will be no less than you deserve.

  33. 33 former republican

    Oh…just need to add both of you.

    I’ll be praying for you too.

    —————————————————–

    Dear Pampered Prick - He told you he was recording you. If you had PAID ATTENTION during the conversation.

    Not to mention,most people know what a recorder looks like.

    Don’t be complaining about how ashamed you are. After all,you offered those opinions. Mike asked,you answered.

    Tough.

    And tell your boyfriend(friend?) that if he is willing to die ‘for his country’,then hit a recruiters office. Otherwise,he’s full of crap.

  35. 35 Yakki.PsD

    BTW dear Prick:

    “Is your son in Iraq.”

    Now you tell me,which is a better excuse,eh?

    “He’s in the womb.”

    or

    “It’s not my lot in life.”

    I feel sorry for your friend’s cowardice.

    –as if that isn’t what the “Commander in Chief” is doing every single day to our phone calls and e-mails…! If it’s OK for the main role-model of the CPAC kids (the Decider), I don’t see why it’s not OK “on the ground”–what’s good for the goose is good for the gander.

    And, really, was his mike hidden?

  37. 37 selena jo

    You served during peace time. Why don’t you reup ? Have you ever killed someone or even been in actual combat?

  38. 38 Mike Stark

    well, that’d be because I think this war, and most wars the US has ever been involved in, are trumped up bullshit excuses for needlessly stomping on countries weaker than us… usually in support of some corporate interests…

    why would I want to re-up for that?

  39. 39 AndySocial

    Selena Jo - are you implying that those of us who volunteered to be in the service for years, but who weren’t called upon to actually get shot at, are somehow not true veterans? We served, doing what we were asked to do.

  40. 40 Selena Jo

    To Andy,
    I am not putting down any person’s service to our country, but it is a big difference to serve during peace time vs going into a war zone. I did time as a reservist and retired prior to Iraq. To taunt kids who really know so little about life is cruel. And, I have friends there now who never dreamed they would be doing much more than a weekend a month and two weeks a year active duty.

    I don’t think we had any business in Iraq, but I don’t feel making fools out young folks with a recorder really enhances your position.It just proves your just a different brand of mean spirited Joe. Demeaning people seldom makes them change their mind.

    It is a totally different kettle of fish to do duty in a war zone, and if our friend above did an easy tour state side than taunting those kids seems a bit hinky, but that’s just me.
