NIMBY in the Left's Backyard

I didn't catch the part in the article where the guy is identified as being 'left'. Maybe you just ASSumed he is 'left'? The guy doesn't even live in North America, and how do you know he's not a Bush supporter? Anyway, there are plenty of idiots out there, why bother making an issue about one in particular in order to try to smear 'the left'? Maybe *you* are the whacko in question here?

You must not be a US citizen.  Enviromental whackos hate conservatives even when they support the whacko agenda. So whether this guy is mongolian or Tibetan or what, he is a Lefty in the US. I will ignore your obvious ignorance this time.

Steryotipical bigoted right winger.

Example of the Loony left's compassion.  And since you are so big on spelling, you should know you spelled it wrong both times. 

Typical of the ignorance on the loony loopy luddite left.

are you not the same man that just hates being branded "a stereotypical leftwing kook???

Seems like what you ask of others "respect n such" only applies to how you want people to treat you... not how you treat others

May I remind you of you calling me ignorant, bad speller and lousy grammarian?

Hey Sandy, if you want to know how to spell the word, just check out Moderateman's post. It is not real difficult.  Stereo, like in what you play CDs on (Vinyl for me sometimes) and typical, as in not unusual.

Yes, and I also noticed you spelled it correctly.

From which wing do environmentalists usually hail?

How 'bout these guys. They seem to be from the right. Link

They refer to themselves as "the national grassroots organization of Republicans for Environmental Protection"

Personally I think environmentalists are conservatives gone mad - after all, they want to conserve the past at the cost of the present, and usually want to live in some horrible Luddite utopia like some disgusting monkey in a tree, flinging its poo at passersby. That they hang around leftists is more because their anti-establishment rhetoric lets them hide easier amongst us than because we like what they say.

Kind of like how neo-Nazis tend to hide amongst right-wingers like some horrible canker, their foul presence unknown until they rise up like the unexpected rake.

For the hard of thinking, I guess what I'm trying to say is that they're not my kind of leftist.

1) 'Enviromental whackos hate conservatives even when they support the whacko agenda. So whether this guy is mongolian or Tibetan or what, he is a Lefty in the US. I will ignore your obvious ignorance this time.'
Very clever, Dr. Guy. Lefty -> Whacko -> Lefty. A cute little cyclic sleight of hand that demonstrates nothing but paranoia and / or desperation on your part.

2) 'They are branding all of you as a bunch of kooks.'
I am doubtless what you would lazily term a 'Lefty', Dr. Guy, but I fail to see how this Greg Ferrando speaks any more for me than he does for you. The essence of your post appears to be that there's one particular individual out there with a very peculiar take on the tsunami. And that's it. Wow!

3) 'loony loopy luddites of the left'
You must of course spray your invective, Dr. Guy, but do try and make it a little relevant. 'Loony' and 'loopy' I'll grant you, weary old chestnuts though they may be in respect of the Left, but 'Luddite'? Just what aspect of new technology do you perceive to be under attack here? Chairs, maybe? Anyone would assume you'd added it merely to augment your ailing attempt at alliteration.

Cacto!  Thanks for the laugh!  Love your description of them!  YOu are truly a member of the rational sane thinking left.  Welcome to open and honest debate!

Ah furry, you make the ultimate mistake of logic.  Just because a is in b, does not mean that all b is in a! Me thinks you are the paranoid one!

One of many.  But I did not have time to link to all the rest of the articles and proclamations.  If labeling someone who is liberal as a lefty is lazy, so be it.  But I dare say that you will not get very far without seeing that throughout the political spectrum.  That is how they are labeled by default.  IN and of itself, it is not bad.  Remeber, just because enviro whackos are lefties, does not mean all lefties are enviro whackos.  You do know logic, do you not?

3) 'loony loopy luddites of the left' You must of course spray your invective, Dr. Guy, but do try and make it a little relevant.

New Technology?  Why everything past grass huts and horse and buggies.  They want to roll back technology and erradicate it completely so we can live in pristine squalor like our caveman dwelling ancestors did.  Dont beleive me?  Read "Earth in the Balance" by none other than Al Gore.

BTW, if you read my blogs you will clearly see that A, I am not spraying invective, and B, I have not equated all Liberals/lefties with these loons.  Me thinks he doth protest too much.

Dr. Guy: 'I will ignore your obvious ignorance this time.' Oh, the irony.

Do you even know what the word 'ignorance' means, "Dr." Guy? It has to do with being ignorant, ignoring, etc. Americans earn their reputation for ignorance every day...

Only among the ignorant.

I was replying to the claim in your original post that this Greg Ferrando was somehow both representative of and speaking for the Left. I didn't realise I was supposed to be drawing upon an implicit and unstated underlying reading list before I responded. What exactly is the link between a book by Al Gore and a soundbite from a solitary 43 year old Hawaiian of peculiar opinion?

Anyway, my apologies, Dr. Guy, but maybe I'm just not privy to the same voices that inform you on such matters.

My Apologies to you Furry.  I thought I made it clear that this was not mainstream left, but unless they repudiated it, they would be branded with it.  I do not beleive that most left are that way, however since it is part of the left espousing it, you are in danger of being branded with it (Hello?  Jerry Falwell anyone?).

You can be privy to any of the voices I am.  It is called conventional Wisdom, and is not found on CNN, CBS, NBC, ABC, MSNBC, Newsweek, or Time.

it is found in listening to the average joe American (you know those peasants that are so stupid as to be morons?).

But you Listen to your voices! Fine by me!

"Some Enviromental Whackos are now proclaiming what a good thing the Tsunami was!"

Ok, so in the first paragraph, "some Environmental Whackos" are saying the tsunami was a good thing.

"Making the loony loopy luddites of the left look like class a fools and a$$e$ is not even hard any more. Like Shooting dead fish in a barrell!"

Hmm, by the fifth paragraph, all the Leftists think that the tsunami was a good thing. Is it just me that missed that progression?

If I were to leave a final thought for you, it would be this: Take a chill pill. This is one idiot and his misguided rambling. Perhaps you should set aside your eagerness for smearing those who disagree with you long enough to realize that sometimes a moron is just a moron.

Then read all my blogs.  The LLL left is not all of the left.  Itis the extreme.  if you read all of them, you would know.  But I will say, dont assume.  I mean what I say, and I say what I mean.  And most know that the LLL left is not all the left, just a bunch of jerks and their brain dumb followers.

Granted.  And so you disavow him? Good.  But do so vociferously!  Otherwise, others will think this is you.

Note I did take a chill pill, and this was more of a warning to the left, than a rant of some loony Loopy luddites.  Distant yourself, or be 'birds of a feather flock together'.

'Granted. And so you disavow him? Good. But do so vociferously! Otherwise, others will think this is you.'
Surely that's their problem?

Surely that's their problem?

hehe. Nice point. I agree, too. Personally I don't give a shit if some half-brained moron dismisses me as a rabid environment supremacist. It's their loss, not mine.
