We’ve joking a lot about the evil of Glenn Reynolds, and you’ve seen his attacks against me, but the letter he sent to Glenn of Hi. I’m Black! is simply despicable. Anyway, here is an artist rendering of what Neo-Nazi Glenn probably looks like:
UPDATE: I’ve got a lot of complaints that this over the top, so I just want to clarify that White Glenn is a Commie-Nazi… if that helps in some way.
That’s wrong on so many levels. Funny, but wrong.
Huh? Hey, that’s why the racist, puppy blending enemy won’t link to me, either. I’m BLACKfive.
LoL That’s the funniest one I’ve seen yet.
Manson shaved his beard?
Looks a little like VP Cheney to me.
Frank, been an avid reader for months. I think you’re funny as hell, literally the funniest site on the internet, and want to continue to be able to read this stuff. Because of that, someone should write that I think the post here may be crossing the line.
Actually, someone already wrote me that. I thought this was just too ridiculous to take seriously though (like most of my stuff).
Then again, I still get e-mails asking if I’m serious about nuking the moon.
I think I’m with WAL. Puppy blending is silly, so it’s funny. But calling someone a neo-Nazi is a base tactic of the Left. Do not become the enemy!!
How about a neo-Soviet Glenn? Just replace the swastika with the hammer & sickle! THAT would be funny!!!!!
But I like calling him a Neo-Nazi! Whaaaaaaa!
White supremacist and neo-nazi are both too weak. Hit him with something really dispicable like………..LAWYER.
Check with The Alliance HQ there are a couple of lawyer jokes there and much more where that came from on my site Judicious Asininity
Can someone tell me logically why you’d think it was crossing the line? It’s a joke… no one is actually comparing
Glenn to Hitler. Is it crossing the line because it’s lessening
the infamosity of Hitler? I don’t think so. Is it crossing the
line because puppy blender isn’t responsible for killing millions of innocents? Undetermined. Is it disrespectful to those that died in WWII? Help me out here. My P.C. fibers
aren’t working right. Mere mention of evil people doesn’t offend me.
P.S. infamosity isn’t in the dictionary, but it should be.
I think some people are taking it like the Bush is Hitler comparison, except (off-character) I don’t actually think Glenn Reynolds is a Neo-Nazi while the drooling left think Bush is like Hitler (/off-character).
It is the official position of IMAO that White Supremacist Glenn is a Neo-Nazi, and we will not back-off that position.
I agree with WAL. Calling someone a nazi is neither funny nor obviously over the top, not these days when it’s part and parcel of what passes for political discourse.
Suggestion: reveal the shocking truth about Glenn’s membership in the ATLA and how he’s secretly planning to have the Supreme Court find it in secret penumbras and emanations of the Constitution that he is the Lord Master Emperor Overlord of the USA.
Frank – Seriously, I thought you REALLY wanted to Nuke the Moon…now I need to rescind my order.
Where’d you get that picture! All those copies were supposed to have been burned along with that cross! He’s not going to be happy about this… I’m in big trouble.
I heard from a friend of a friend whose nephew once walked white glenns dog before the evil white glenn had him blended…anyway…that he (evil white glenn) may…i repeat may…be a founding member of NAMBLA…
You haven’t put White Glenn’s head on a snake’s body yet? What da matter with you?
People have put monkey-heads on YOU all over the place.
Sorry, Frank. You’re out-gunned, outclassed and headed for ignominy. White Glenn is my Blogfather and blood is thicker than a blended puppy.
Thats just over the top. Your just going too far with this Nazi/raciest stuff. Animal calling, “puppy blending” accusing, ext. is all fine. but this is just crude, rude, unclassy, and offensive.
Chill out. Its not that big a deal, don’t go over board.
What the Blog-Wars need is a Geneva Convention.
Input will be needed from both sides, to ensure that human rights are respected.
And those of The Enemy, too.
In my defense, he’s never denied he’s a Commie-Nazi and a white supremacist, and I think it’s fait to assume anything about someone that isn’t denied.
Just about any humorist is going to ruffle feathers here and there, it goes with the job. And your background has a lot to do with it. My sister and her Hubby almost came unglued some years back when I said I liked listening to Rush because he was funny. Sis yelled “HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT?? HE ISN’T FUNNY AT ALL!” Of course, they thought “TV Nation” was funny, so we’re even.
I don’t take the Nazi bit seriously, but that’s not the point. My father fought in Europe in WWII and almost got killed doing it. I heard more than I ever wanted to about Nazis. I don’t want to think what he would have said if someone even JOKED he was a Nazi. I’m more removed from WWII than he was, still, I don’t find it funny at all.
Anyway, it’s not a big deal in itself. I love the humor here, and I’d rather have you take a chance and create great humor and occasionally stumble than be carefully PC and certainly dull.
But it WAS a stumble.
Who Will Hire The A-Team?
In 2003, a crack blogging unit was started by several individuals on a blogging platform they didn’t design or like. These bloggers promptly escaped from a maximum bugged blogspot to the blogosphere underground. Today, still wanted by blogger.com, they…
Frank, I think the key insight about why this isn’t funny (just troubling and a bit offensive) was said by Fredrik Nyman: because this type of speech IS currently part and parcel of the political discourse of the Left, and by derivation also parts of blogosphere as well. It brushes MUCH too uncomfortably close to genuine accusations that are sometimes flung about.
Another reason it’s worrisome is because there are certain things it’s funny to be absurd about, and certain topics that are NEVER funny. Even accusing someone of being a Stalinist (Communism being an equivalent evil to Nazism) is more acceptable in terms of absurd humor because Stalinism or Communism doesn’t carry with it the baggage of racism or racial genocide that Nazism does.
Like it or not, in our modern Western society the worst accusation that can be made against an intellectual figure is that of racism (which is precisely why some quarters of the Left do it all the time – they’re perfectly aware they’re throwing around political kryptonite). I actually think that’s a good sign – it shows how civilized we truly are as a society. But it’s also precisely why the type of jokes
You see, it actually ISN’T immediately apparent that you’re kidding. I mean of course I know, and anybody who took the time to read this site in depth would as well, but didn’t you check out the comments of the Hi! I’m Black site? There were people there who took it seriously! Puppy-blending is clearly ridiculous on the face of it, and therefore cute and funny; racist accusations, provided you don’t know the context that turns them into a joke, are plausible and therefore not something that should be made cavalierly.
Just my $0.02. I know IMAO has staked out an official position on this, and therefore won’t be able to back off without losing face, but maybe you should just let it die quietly.
A joke is a joke is a joke. (and this was a pretty obvious joke!)
If you want PC go liberal.(Some of you sound like your already their)
Would you like to WHINE some more? I’m nearly crying myself from all your sob stories and disappointments.
If I were a college professor and someone claimed I was a neo-Nazi (or Commie-Nazi) in this day and age, I would be rather pissed off.
Since I am a nobody, people calling me a Nazi is fine. I know I am not a Nazi and I do not have to answer to anyone else (especially since I am getting divorced, long story).
Puppy blending is fine as no one will be inclined to believe it (I would hope) but the Nazi thing is, as other’s pointed out, the “black spot” of the left these days. Look at Arnold and his tongue lashing for having a father who was in the Nazi party (along with most of Germany and other countries at the time, except for the non-Arians of course).
If someone were to put into Google “Glenn Renyolds Nazi” and found this, would they “get” the sarcasm/parody? What if it was his boss or a leftie student? And what if he lost his job over being labeled a Nazi (no need for proof, the label is enough)?
That is where I think this kind of banter crossed the line.
Shame on Yoooouuuuuuuu Frank J.
Crap I misspelled his name, you aren’t THAT well-knwon, sir! j/k
Geeze, you’d never know I could type 72 wpm with 97% accuracy by looking at this page.
Filthy Lie Reports – Evil Glenn’s Tattoo
Tattooing, as an art form, has a long and storied history in the annals of human civilization. The ancient tribes of… Eh. Screw it. If you want a history lesson, go talk to Deep Cover Agent, Codename: Jen. The following
