Moonbats never learn.

I like "attention whore."

I want to arrest him.... Can I?

maybe a harassment lawsuit will learn him?

The photo is priceless!

I wonder if he fell on his back, held his breath, and kicked his legs like my 18-month old.

I wasn't really wishing for Bolton to clean his clock with a roundhouse HAYmaker.
Not much.

I'll get over it.

Dolt.

After being released by the guards the columnist - a farce critic of the 2003 American-led invasion - made a slow dash through the rain-soaked tented village in a failed attempt to catch up with Mr Bolton and get severly beat down for his trouble.

Cousin Silh called this on the previous Moonbiat thread.

I wish chuck norris was there to protect bolton. The roundhouse would have been epic.

Someone that immature and stupid has the important task of shaping public opinion and stimulating intelligent debate.

I shudder at the thought.

Tough to dash through the rain after security gave you an "atomic wedgy" mate?

Mr Monbiot said moments later he was “disappointed” that he had been blocked from making the citizen’s arrest.

Is "Monbiot" French for moonbat?

I'd just love to bitch-slap that son-of-a-bitch.

that not so quiet babble is the UK flushing itself...Australia, however ,does not intend to follow...we await news from the USA which will be asked to defend the UK once it is too late to unflush & sharia institutes the use of the left hand to wipe.

Is a "Monbiot" like the next Pokemon level of a basic Moonbat?

George Monbiot's wants to arrest the people who fight terrorists but has nothing to say when terrorists kill innocent people. Where's Mr. Monbiot's outrage over the slaughter of the terrorists?

Thank you England for guarding our Bolton from that crazy stalker.

Someone should arrest him for posing as a citizen-cop.

Monbiot, whatever. The question here is: what the hell is a "literary festival" doing inviting John Bolton to talk about international relations?

I'm impress.

I guess the Cousins don't arrest people for harassing visiting dignitaries. A shame. It would have been ironic for this asshat to get arrested.

Mr Monbiot said moments later he was “disappointed” that he had been blocked from making the citizen’s arrest.

He went on to add he never felt loved, hadn't spoken to his parents in years and "really just wanted a hug right now"

under the Serious and Organised Crime and Police Act 2005.

Huh?

Personally, I prefer "doofus" for this type of situation. Or "attention whore." Or "twerp."

My prediction from the previous thread:

He, and several dozen witnesses gleeful to see Bolton "get his" will show up, security will be such that he re-thinks the effort, there will some chanting of anti-Bolton phrases, then everyone will adjourn to the coffeehouse to discuss their great victory in speaking truth to the power.

What do I win!?!

Wow. He really is _that_ stupid. I didn't actually think he'd go through with it after announcing his plan to the world.

Insane stalker or respected journalist and professional? I hope he enjoys his golden years in the new Caliphate.

someone surely has the old film of gomer saying"citizens arrest, citizens arrest!" dont they?

Beclowned? Sure, that works. So does [deleted]. Attention whore.

re: #14 John3-16

Is "Monbiot" French for moonbat?

Actually it was Monbiot's name that inspired the word moonbat.

Love the headline:

John Bolton escapes citizen's arrest at Hay Festival

Escapes, huh. LMAO.

A spokesman for The Guardian, for which Mr Monbiot writes a regular column, said he was acting in a "personal capacity".

Maybe that should be "acting out a personal incapacity."

Funny, moonbat is supposedly derived from Monboit.

LGF Dictionary:

moonbat - An unthinking or insane leftist — in other words, most modern leftists. Moonbat can also be used as an adjective, e.g. a moonbat professor. According to the Wikipedia entry for moonbat, the word was coined in 2002 by the Editor of Samizdata, Perry de Havilland, and was a variation on the name of radical British activist and columnist George Monbiot. Originally, the term “moonbat” was intended to be more politically neutral, and described wackos on the left and the right, but it quickly acquired its current usage of being applied almost exclusively to those on the left. The term also references the moon much in the same way that “lunatic” refers to the insanity-causing powers of the full moon (luna = moon). LGFers occasionally analyze the behavior patterns of various moonbat “species” as if they were actual animals, and even give them satirical Linnaean taxonomical names, such as moonbattus berkeleyensis. According to Charles: “Moonbat was originally coined by Perry at Samizdata, I believe. But LGF probably played a much bigger part in popularizing it.” The entry in the Samizdata glossary indicates that Perry originally coined the full phrase “barking moonbat”; apparently “moonbat” is just a subsequent shortened version of “barking moonbat,” rather than being a pre-existing term that was lengthened to barking moonbat. The term “moonbat” was first used by Charles on Little Green Footballs June 14, 2002.

Why isn't this dork crying for the arrest of Red Ken or Hamza the Hooked Islamo-demon?

re: #28 thedopefishlives

Wow. He really is _that_ stupid. I didn't actually think he'd go through with it after announcing his plan to the world.

I did. His whole plan was to be stopped. That's why he announced it. He was too chicken$#!t to be serious about pulling this off. He knew he would be thrown in jail and he ain't got the guts to deal with the people he would find in there. He just wanted the MSM to give his silly mug his 15 minutes of fame.

If Monbiot comes to the US can an American "citizens arrest" him for his attempted assault on Bolton?

I already hold him in utter contempt for his defense of Saddam, Islamic terrorists, and the global warming scam.

Can Bolton sue him for libel, here or in Great Britain? Because libeling John Bolton is most certainly what Monbiot has done with his articles and his blog.

Do you kind of wonder what would have happened if Bolton had walloped the sucker? Do they have self defense in England?

re: #48 scathach,

No. The Brits severly frown on self-defense. You are better off to be the assailent, and just be done with it.

The red ribbon. He made the attempt, but was stopped, so you missed on that one. But you were right about the protesters. I on the other hand get the lemon as I figured they wouldn't even let him in.

Oh brother. I kind of wish Bolton had rammed his bowtie down this moonbat's throat. How about instead of a citizen's arrest, we could get a respiratory arrest instead?

With a name like that, you would think he would avoid such behavior.

Monbiot should be arrested and charged for aiding and abetting Islamic terrorism and Saddam Hussain's regime.

Deposing Saddam was both the moral and correct thing to do and so is finishing off the remaining jihadists and other rabble.

Monbiot is a particularly good example of the moral inversion of his side, which also happens to be the side of the terrorists. In a sane world he would be serving time in prison before forced deportation.

He came back to work in Britain after being pronounced clinically dead in Lodwar General Hospital in north-western Kenya, having contracted cerebral malaria.

In Britain, he joined the roads protest movement. He was hospitalised by security guards, who drove a metal spike through his foot, smashing the middle bone.

The left has thoroughly convinced itself of the fiction that the Iraq war is somehow "illegal."

How can any war be either legal or illegal when by definition it is a conflict between sovereign powers?

There is no overarching power or higher authority with the prerogative to declare which conflicts between nations are legitimate and which are not.

There are legitimate criticisms to be made about both the reasons for going to war and the way in which this war was prosecuted.

One of the biggest issues that is never addressed is that we actually won the war WITH Iraq, and are now fighting a separate war IN Iraq.

The fact that the left must resort to fairy tale notions about the "legality" of these wars shows just how little they have to say in way of honest criticism.

Nah, Hillary Clinton has been to Iraq recently and she doesn't admit the surge is working, does she?

Iraq is still an imaginary war, and democrats pretend we're losing it.
They're "sticking to their guns", even if they're imaginary guns.

And they are getting a lot of help from the MSM.

re: #154 The Other Les

Actually under Anglo-Saxon traditional Common Law the ordinary citizen does have the right and duty to make an arrest on a felony charge.

Only when the perp is in the act of committing a felony, and there is no officer available to make the arrest.

Moonbiot aka Moonbat Idiot is the devolved form of Moonbat. Moonbiot is know for its drool and confusion attacks on opponents.
Only by showing extreme ineptitude and stupidity may a moonbat devolve into a Moonbiot.

Clinton games the system.....
Sources: Dems' delegate deal could boost Clinton

The Democratic Party is likely to meet rule-breaking Florida and Michigan halfway when it comes to seating their delegates at the national convention, two members of the rules committee said Wednesday.

Such a move may help Sen. Hillary Clinton close the delegate gap with front-runner Sen. Barack Obama but not overtake him, said sources familiar with party deliberations.

He seems very accident prone - the malaria would explain quite a lot:
all that overheated emotional twaddle.
He's a journalist
He works for the Guardian (I absolutely refuse to read that rag!)

I think Mr Bolton was safe enough, he had security who would have sorted out the moonbat (eg *What's your problem - MATE*). He would have backed down. He would have whined like a 2 year old but they would have just outmanoeuvered him.

I personally would like to hug John Bolton, I'm a dreamer.

A humour gem from the link list, thanks to distwalker :

Good afternoon and thank you Sue City, North Dakota.

As I have traveled around this country and visited 57 of these United States I have been thinking about the folks in some of those states in the middle.

Last year in Kansas tornadoes killed 10,000 people and destroyed whole cities. I was among the first to request Pashtu translators be sent to Kansas to help, but unfortunately they had all been sent to Iraq where they are too often killed in action by IEDs manufactured in Iran... fortunately Iran is not a threat.

As I look out on the crowd today, I see many of the fallen. Then there are those that fight and don’t die but often wind up as shell shocked basket cases like my uncle who locked himself in my typical, white racist grandmother’s attic. This was after he was among the first Americans to liberate Stalingrad or Auschwitz or something.

When he finally left the attic, he introduced my mother and father in Selma, Alabama in 1963. As a result of that meeting, I was born in 1961 and am now here to ask you to hope for and vote for honesty and accuracy in your leadership.

Thank you, and have a great morning.

re: #158 Ringo the Gringo

This is from his bio, funniest thing I've read all week.

During seven years of investigative journeys in Indonesia, Brazil and East Africa, he was shot at, beaten up by military police, shipwrecked and stung into a poisoned coma by hornets. He came back to work in Britain after being pronounced clinically dead in Lodwar General Hospital in north-western Kenya, having contracted cerebral malaria.

In Britain, he joined the roads protest movement. He was hospitalised by security guards, who drove a metal spike through his foot, smashing the middle bone. He helped to found The Land is Ours, which has occupied land all over the country, including 13 acres of prime real estate in Wandsworth belonging to the Guinness corporation and destined for a giant superstore. The protesters beat Guinness in court, built an eco-village and held onto the land for six months.

George Monbiot has accomplished what few could. By his actions, writings and beliefs, he is responsible for the coining of a word. The word moonbat, in his honor, is used to describe the most laughed-at of the farthest-left, the rabid-dhimmi-dolts.

To excuse Monboit's failure, because he couldn't succeed against such brutes? (If they'd been lesser guards, he would have valiently pushed through and saved the world)
