FARK off

They can all go FARK themselves.

There are a lot of farking loons posting there.

One of the comments there:

Control_this 2008-04-29 01:43:23 PM
It's an outrage. Seeing video of US soldiers blown up makes me want to vote for people who don't want me to see it.

*fingers in ears* LALALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU LALALALALAAA

Absolutely pathetic.

I thought FARK was a humor site?

fark: for everyone who couldn't cut it at somethingawful

I enjoy the site, but never click on the comments for a political story. I stick with the Mother of the Year candidates and Darwin award nominees.

Like I give a fark...

Charles,

given your recent tweaks and upgrades, it seems that the hamsters are hardly breaking a sweat, even under a farkstorm.

So, as any environmentally-aware lizard would conclude: your server is now using too much electric power for the job... time to downgrade to something running on a 6502 at say, 1MHZ.

Apple ][ anyone ?

Nothing but the usual left wing claptrap going on over there.

re: #10 me

Apple ][ anyone ?

Only if you're talking Apple IIe

the truth is a biatch ain't it.

especially when you're on the losing side. Ha Ha

Am I the only one who gets the feeling that most of the commentors at Fark.com are still in high school?

Going to Kos and now Fark makes me appreciate how EASY it is to follow LGF posters comments. I find those sites to be a little confusing.

Just too much fun ...

Dear Fark readers,

I confess I do not visit your site and have little idea of what you stand for, but I do know the other kinds of people that hate, just hate littlegreenfootballs.

You are in company with jihadists, nazis, communists and other groups associated with religious, racial, or political world domination. Any time one finds oneself with similar dislikes and goals as those people, perhaps it is time to rethink your life.

In Christ's Love,
Silhouette

Our soldiers must be so relieved to have the people of FARK so concerned for their plight.

They are arguing that the American Media is in the tank for Bush and are supporting the war.

QUICK, somebody call their parents. I think somebody's basement is full of toxic mold.

re: #10 me

I loved my dear old Apple ][. I knew what every one of its 64 kilobytes was up to at all times. And I wrote my own machine language routines, without an assembler.

Who knows what the hell computers are doing any more? I have to ask for permission to turn mine off now.

FARK has really taken a turn to the Left dark side.
They used to have some sensible people posting there, a little more mainstream...middle of the road.

But they've all gone nuts lately!

I wonder if we could survive a front page post at Digg now?

I tend to limit my comments at Fark, unless they're doing something to Tom Cruise.

You're probably overestimation their educational level.

But them from what I've observed the general level of our educational system has sunk like the Titanic.

Did I read that wrong? I thought they were saying they agreed it was wrong to use that footage. Again, I am not the brightest bulb but...

I'm going to be sorry I asked this but what exactly does Fark stand for? (Other than a great new curse word.)

We grew up on the same stuff, I guess.

Fark Fools. Bush ad referencing 9/11 very bad. Democrat ads attempting to show American deaths very good. Huh?

re: #22 Charles

I wonder if we could survive a front page post at Digg now?

We will never, ever be subjected to that particular test. The number of diggers and their sockpuppets who autobury anything from LGF is in the high three figures, I'd estimate.

Because Fark is a wretched hive of juvenile (I'm being redundant here) teen and twentysomething leftists?

re: #19 Shug

They are arguing that the American Media is in the tank for Bush and are supporting the war.

If the MSM isn't reporting that Bush is personally killing asthmatic orphans, but is "only" reporting that "critics say" that there are one million dead Iraqi citizens, then by their world view, that is right-leaning propaganda.

Nice. Looks like the desktop Apple's we used in high school, but in color.

re: #28 MellyMel

That was supposed to be dark, mocking sarcasm on their part.
(Forgetting that they themselves were fine with not seeing the torture, rape and mass graves of the Hussein regime, and would be fine letting Iraq slide into anarchy with the additional deaths that would ensue, if our military comes home too quickly.)

Unright 2008-04-29 01:56:24 PM "Sites like LGF & DailyKos get paid by their advertisers. So more pageviews = more money. Clicking on a LGF link is the same as giving them money."

So THAT's where our zionist checks are supposed to be coming from!

Funny, the only "advertisement" I see here is the Pajamas Media up top. Unless the Lounge has a cover charge now...

Idoits.

re: #22 Charles

Didn't lgf survive several already?

re: #35 Silhouette

A+++

As a former member of Fark, let me say this:

While there are reasonable people on Fark, most of the commenters are somewhere to the left of the folks at Daily Kos. Total nutbags.

I parried for many moons with them, but got tired of it. Pearls before swine and all that...

Al Franken owes back taxes in 17 states!

re: #36 Diamond Bullet

The web is over-supplied with those.

Wow. I don't go to that site (except today), but I supposed it's my own damn fault for taking people at face value -- especially those who are completely nuts and still collect an allowance.

re: #46 rawmuse

Maybe he can room with Wesley Snipes.

re: #48 song_and_dance_man

He also owes back taxes to reason.

Nah, I think reason changed its address out of guilt by association.

This is actually false, by the way. I don't get paid on a per-click or pageview basis.

Q. How does Charles finance the blog?
A. Out of his own pocket. Not to mention all the time and effort he spends that he could otherwise be using for his business. So c'mon, hit the tip jar:
Donate through Amazon Honor System.
Donate through Paypal.
Request LGF PO Box address to donate by check.
LGF has also recently added Blogads to the right sidebar, to help defray costs.

re: #54 Silhouette

You actually have to pay taxes on what you would take in by theft or fraud.

re: #6 Dianna

They are. I like the site and I think they're very funny but they aren't very politically savvy.

re: #43 boofar

Didn't lgf survive several already?

Only on weekends. Every time we hit the front page on a weekday, the server crashed almost immediately.

And then, of course, there's Drudge. We lasted about 10 seconds the last time he linked to us.

Oh, I just posted on the Tom Cruise did Cher thread.

But I feel that there should be something to say.

Probably still crash, but maybe not. Hard to tell, without it actually happening.

re: #64 Silhouette

I think that was a Boys and Girls Club; there's not much money in BB/BS, since they don't generally have a site.

The amazon honor system still works.
It was really weird though. I wasn't sure if the charge had taken until I saw it on my bank statement, kind of a long time after the transaction

Not on pageviews? -- I had always assumed that was the measurement. Advertising is linked in some way to readership though, surely?

Crazy "Internet." Crazy "computers." Just a fad.

re: #22 Charles

No idea Charles, and no offense intended but I just followed the link to the Hitler picture, and in future I do strongly suggest a leg waxing before you pose in a dress which calls attention to your gams.

I only know FARK as the site that used to compete with somethingawful.com in Pshop contests. Some of the guys at the SA forums were really creative with the photoshops, but the majority of the work I saw from FARK looked like it was done by a 4-yr old using Paint.

Apparently, the 4-yr olds now have political views too.

A 4 year old does have a political creed, which is strikingly similar to liberals.

Toddler's Creed

If I want it, it's mine.
If I give it to you and change my mind later, it's mine.
If I can take it away from you, it's mine.
If I had it a little while ago, it's mine.
If it's mine, it will never belong to anybody else, no matter what.
If we are building something together, all the pieces are mine.
If it looks just like mine, it is mine.

and now for something completely different

I remember when Fark was good, heck I remember when they hit 1000 users.

Speaking of that bozoid Al Franken:

Stuart Smalley's Daily Affirmations for the Inner Pirate

Monday:
"I'm going to rape and pillage today just for the heck of it because, gosh darn it, I deserve to have a good time."

Tuesday:
"I am not a fraud, a thief yes, but not a fraud."

Wednesday:
"I deserve all the loot and booty I can carry without feeling ashamed or being grandiose."

Thursday:
"I will express my feelings today. I will not hide them behind my eyepatch. My eyepatch is not a mask for my feelings, but rather a small swatch of leather that covers a hideous scar."

Friday:
"When I overtake that merchants vessel, I will not be playing those parent tapes in my head: "You wield a cutlass like a girl" . . . "Why can't you be more like Blackbeard's son?" . . . "Philosophy? What kind of major is that? It's useless!"

Saturday:
"Just because I indulge in wine and wenches does not mean I'm an alcoholic sex-addict like my father."

Sunday:
"If I must violently put down a mutiny today, it is not because I am a bad person or that I am not worthy of love; it is because my crew are a bunch of yellow-bellied, lily-livered sons-of-whores--and I am mean enough, ruthless enough, and dog gone it, people fear me."

Remind me to send a thank you note to Rev. Wright sometime. He has managed to be the albatross around Obama's neck. First he pissed off all the smart people, then he pissed off all the white folks, now Obama throwing him under the bus is going to piss off a lot of black folks. Overall, he has show what Obama truly is; a hack politician with little experience and a very leftest bent.

re: #104 Shr_Nfr

Hey don't forget those fuzzy progressive white college kids. Obama just lost a whole shit-load of those today too.

Too bad he didn't pick up any middle of the road fence sitters along the way. Cautious folk shy away from controversies like this. I bet a good number of them made up their minds today to vote for Hillary.

Hey y'all, what did I miss today?

LGF: So "fascist" the fascists hate us!

(if you don't get it...see the Bill White threads)

Btw: isn't it a bit odd that they call LGF "Fascist" when we are hated by the actual fascists (Bill White), and it is the KOS/DU/HP/Lefist crowds that the actual fascists (David Duke) agree with and like?

Speaking of whiplash, are all the Obamatons that defended Rev Wright and said he was right to hate America and justified in anti-white feelings going to stick with their views, or will they suddenly be "outraged" by the “appalling”, “ridiculous”, "divisive" and "destructive" "rants"? (quotes from BO today)

The liberal intolerance pervasive on Fark.com is why I canceled my TotalFark subscription. Everyday they become more-and-more a subsidiary of Kos.

Somehow I get the feeling he is have a desperate, wheedling conversation with Obama right now.

Obama's campaign was the best thing that ever happened to Wright. He went from regional pastor-cum-crackpot to national figure in about twelve minutes. And now he sees it all turning.

For real? I'm not gonna name any names, but it's starting to look like someone around here is a magnificent bastard.

Wright's actual threat was "around the end of the year," or something like that, right? If BHO gets the nomination, than I predict the Reverend comes down with a serious case of writer's block. If necessary, DNC goons armed with billy clubs will make their presence felt at the publishing company. There's no way the DNC will let this man be heard.

Strange that Obama never noticed in 20 years. Eh, maybe he attends church like he votes in the Senate.

Nice timing for us.

Personally, I think this Wright thing was TOTALLY orchestrated by BHO and JW.

If it never came up, they would just lay low, if the poop hit the fan, than step one, explain Wright to the public. If that didn't seem to work well, then step two, Wright was tasked to act like a complete loon, so BHO could do the big bus trick.

They planned this, plain and simple. IMHO.

must be devastating to throw your pastor of 20+ years under the bus.

re: #138 Walter L. Newton

Interesting observation!

Fark is liberal? I've been posting there for a couple of months now and the impression I get is that the politics of the hoard shifts violently in every direction depending on the topic.
Like Bud from Repo Man; "I don't want no commies in my car. No Christians either."

I'm sure the planned release date *now* is October. It was planned when Wright was still in the role of the great mentor.

It will change; I have no doubt.

beginning to look like that, but the only one that gains is Wright. the damage to Obamamessiah is damn near irrepairable. It may not cost him the nod but weakens the crap outta him in the gen. election. So, we know he's a shameless narcissist. What's in it for him? To believe this was all orchestrated to allow him to slide into a VP slot with the Shrillary is waaay too much of a stretch. these folks are evil, but they're not that smart!

Obama must feel so bad for exposing his kids to the Rabie Rev.

re: #138 Walter L. Newton

That would be far too clever. Obama swam in this swamp his whole life. He's a born and bred leftist with a big dose of bitter grievance Black Liberation Theology on top. What Wright said seemed perfectly acceptable to him. After all, he sat in his pews breathing it in for 20 years. Remember how Obama defended Wright at first? He really didn't see how rotten, and damaging, the whole thing is. Only when he saw the polling numbers did he realize what happened.

US aide: Russia WTO deal this year, 'inshallah'
Published: 04.30.08, 00:21 / Israel News
Russia could soon finish its 15-year-old bid to join the World Trade Organization and, "at the appropriate time," the White House will ask Congress to approve permanent normal trade relations, a senior US diplomat said on Tuesday.
"Right now, the priority is very much on WTO accession ... and, inshallah, that can and should happen in the near term," said Reuben Jeffery, under secretary of state for economic, energy and agricultural affairs. (Reuters)

re: #147 paxnhymn

re: #138 Walter L. Newton

Personally, I think this Wright thing was TOTALLY orchestrated by BHO and JW.

If it never came up, they would just lay low, if the poop hit the fan, than step one, explain Wright to the public. If that didn't seem to work well, then step two, Wright was tasked to act like a complete loon, so BHO could do the big bus trick.

They planned this, plain and simple. IMHO.

Walter in Golden, Co.

beginning to look like that, but the only one that gains is Wright. the damage to Obamamessiah is damn near irrepairable. It may not cost him the nod but weakens the crap outta him in the gen. election. So, we know he's a shameless narcissist. What's in it for him? To believe this was all orchestrated to allow him to slide into a VP slot with the Shrillary is waaay too much of a stretch. these folks are evil, but they're not that smart!

Not so. It's to make BHO look like he is truly bringing change to the process. He is not a DIVIDER, but wants to bring ALL under his wing.

In my opinion, what a smart turn on his part. Instead of catering to Wright's shade of black politics/theology, it now appears that BHO is really a UNITER.

BHO didn't go to that church for 20 years, work on the kinds of commitees and project that he did in Chicago, and read and study so much about "social" topics just to suddenly, today, in one half hour, chuck that all out the door.

No, he's playing this for all it's worth. I'm not saying it's going to fool anyone in the long run, but let's see how this shakes out in the next few weeks.

Once again, IMHO.

re: #156 Fat Jolly Penguin

Wright is a raving paranoid narcissist. When he raves he gets a lot of cheers from his hard core fans, which thrills him. And he gets criticized by his "enemies" which thrills him even more. True to form, Wright will now turn on Obama for this "betrayal". Watch for Scriptural references to Judas. And make extra popcorn, this is going to be fun!

re: #153 akak

Bizarre, huh?
Here is the article.

I suppose "inshallah" is an allusion to this:

To complete the accession process, Russia still must reach bilateral deals with Georgia and Saudi Arabia...

I guess both the Bush adminstration and Russia are sucking up to the Saudis, in order to try to get Russia into the WTO. Fortunately the Bush administration has a massive sucking-up-to-the-Saudis apparatus already in place, so this should go pretty smoothly.

I posted this late (too) last thread. Here it is again

Three lizards and three koz kids were at the train station about to embark on a trip. After purchasing their tickets, the koz kids noticed that the lizards had bought only one ticket.
"How are all three of you lizards gonna travel on one ticket ?" they asked. "Watch and be educated." replied one of the lizards.
After boarding the train and taking seats, The koz kids witnessed the three lizards enter the rest room together. As the train left the station, the conductor proceeded through the car collecting the tickets. When he reached the rest room, he knocked on the door and said "ticket please". The door opened just a crack and a ticket protruded through. "Thank you" said the conductor as he proceeded to the next car.
That evening the two groups were back at the station for the return trip. The koz kids, having learned from the lizards, bought only one ticket but noticed that the lizards had not purchased a ticket at all.
"How are the three of you going to travel with no ticket?" the koz kids asked. "Watch and be educated." a lizard replied.
Upon boarding the train each group entered seperate rest rooms and locked the doors. After about thirty seconds had passed a lizard exited his rest room , ran to the koz kids rest room, knocked on the door and asked, "Ticket please". The door opened a crack and a ticket appeared.

re: #173 lummox

re: #164 Walter L. Newton

That is an interesting theory. I think the only version of the theory I might believe is one in which BHO's focus groups assessed the reaction to his slimy Philadelphia speech, and concluded it wasn't as effective as it needed to be. Therefore, they decided, Wright needed to place himself in front of the bus, so that BHO could throw him under it.

I'm not sure I buy it though. For one thing, it seems like Obama's slimy speech actually went over pretty well. If BHO really has control over what Wright says and does, the best thing for BHO would have been to have Wright simply shut up until after the election. Wasn't that the purpose of having Wright retire when he did?

Anti-Evolution Film Misappropriates the Holocaust

The film Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed misappropriates the Holocaust and its imagery as a part of its political effort to discredit the scientific community which rejects so-called intelligent design theory.

Hitler did not need Darwin to devise his heinous plan to exterminate the Jewish people and Darwin and evolutionary theory cannot explain Hitler's genocidal madness.

Using the Holocaust in order to tarnish those who promote the theory of evolution is outrageous and trivializes the complex factors that led to the mass extermination of European Jewry

Nope. The Pa. speech didn't stop anything. Even the MSM was still talking about Wright after BHO's first speech. I really think this was a two step plan, to be carried out, only if the public became too aware of BHO's and Wright's association in the first place.

As I have said a number of times above, I'm waiting to see the spin that the Obama-nation puts on this in the next few weeks.

Saw this on BotW today -- amazing story, really:

The Pakistani newspaper Dawn reports that Bahrain, a tiny Persian Gulf kingdom, "is nominating a Jewish woman as its ambassador to the United States":

Huda Nonoo, a businesswoman, was also the first Jewish woman to sit in the Bahriani Shura Council, the 40-member upper house of the bicameral legislature, replacing her uncle.

She is also the first Jewish woman to head a rights organisation, the Bahrain Human Rights Watch, as its secretary-general. . . .

Huda Nonoo belongs to a tiny Jewish community in Bahrain, dating back to the Talmudic era. Her forefathers migrated from Iraq in the late 19th century.

Amazing, a Jewish woman serving as ambassador for an Arab Muslim country. Only in America!

I was getting the impression today that Obama was painting himself (at least a little bit) as a victim. He made a couple of statements regarding the damage done to his campaign... Not his Country... but his campaign.

It's funny that since the dems got the majority all they have been able to get passed is a change in the menu. And they believe they will get us out of Iraq? They are just pretty much rabid spoiled little children with an internet connection.

Yea, you're right. I have lost over 150 pounds in the last two years. Stopped drinking booze all together, eat 75% veggies, the rest is turkey, chicken and grains. No dairy at all (it's my drug, gotta stay away from it). I got a gobal warming thing going with the methane. I do have a regular fatty meal once in a while, and it does run right through the plumbing. Is this TMI for LGF?

Walter in Golden, Co.

So do I go there and comment? I do love doing that.
/not a troll

I'm a Total Farkette there (which means I pay for additional content), and while I tend to enjoy the comment threads on about 90% of the posts, I usually avoid the political ones. There are too many people on there who have drunk the Kool Aid and equate America with Nazi Germany. They know very little of sites other than the left-wing usual suspects, and they fear Christians and the "right wing" more than they do, you know, actual terrorists. Those threads also tend to be where all the international Farkers show up, too (the ones who get all their information from the BBC).

Even the threads that focus on racism or sexism, obnoxious though they can be at times, are usually still tolerable (not least because there are plenty of feisty commenters who will show up to argue with the brainless). But the political threads tend to be totally one-sided.

Speaking of FARC, why the hell have Pelosi and Co. so determined to screw Colombia and schmooze up to Hugo Chavez?

Hit and run post - sorry - but a surprising number of the comments at Fark (at least on the first page, didn't have the time or inclination to try to read them all) are more or less sane. That is, they say things like "it's one thing to show soldiers being blown up and dying on the nightly news, this is a political ad and it is tastless and make 'us' just as bad as them." or something to that effect.

I was also amused at the number of commenters there who said they wouldn't come to LGF OR to Kos or Huffington for the same reason: just mad dog political partisanship. Oh, and don't go to LGF cause that's going to drive up our hit count and make a ton more money for LGF.

Many of these folks are seriously disturbed people; some of them are surprisingly sane.

For those who don't understand why the BHO and Wright thing was done, it is a variation on the theme presented earlier.

By letting Wright out now, to make all the noise and fuss at this time, when the general election comes around, they can pull a "Clinton" and say, "That's old news. We already addressed it."

The media, sensing the teflon moment will wholeheartedly agree, KOS will say, "Yeah!" and we'll hear nothing about it after Obamessiah's christening as the new lord and savior of the godless party.

I'll still go there, but it's disturbing. Like cockroaches invading your pantry. They didn't use to be there, but somehow, they came and took over!

. . . as evidence, note that they have a custom badge for Daily Kos posts, but not for LGF.

It's still fun to go in an tweak them, however.

It's pretty liberal over there, but there's a core of conservatives and moderates, and a fair number of libertarians as well. It's got a lot of young people, so it skews left. It's got it's share of loonies on both sides.

There are raging leftist anti-Semites that post on Fark.

Silly lizards: Fark is for kids!

It never fails, at every lefty blog I've ever seen every time there is something about Iraq or 9/11 there's always some idiot saying bullshit like "Bush won the election by fearmongering". Tell me, what is the price of a cluebat nowadays because I'm going to break it over someones head one of these days if they don't stop with the bullshit.
