Dumbest Man on Internet Falls for Obvious Hoax

Reading too much Alex Jones
Wingnuts • Views: 27,146

Jim Hoft continues to enhance his legacy of absolute stupidity by posting an edited video of “The Family Guy:” Flashback: ‘Family Guy’ Uses Phone Bombs to Win Boston Marathon (Video) | the Gateway Pundit.

“This is eerie,” said Jim.

The creator of Family Guy, Seth McFarlane, tweeted earlier about this deceptively edited video:

And Mediaite’s Andrew Kirell lays out exactly which segments of the show were edited together to create this false impression: Internet Falls for ‘Family Guy Predicted Boston Bombings’ Hoax, Usual Suspects Latch on.

Jim Hoft. Dumbest Man on the Internet. Without a doubt.

There’s a lot of dumb people on the internet, so being the dumbest is something of an accomplishment. Hoft deserves more awards.

Jim, stop killing braincells!

Dim Jim Hoft, never met a baseless conspiracy theory he wasn’t willing to flog like there was no tomorrow.

Typical. DimJim never made a smear he didn’t like.

This came from Alex Jones, by the way. It was first posted at Infowars.

I don’t think he ever cared. Way to go Accuracy in Media though, giving your award to a man who makes his mission to ignore blatant facts in order to push his own agenda. Of course knowing what I know about AIM, that’s a feature not a bug.

Seems every wingnut blog now is trying hard to get a Drudge link to drive up page views.

His readers like it and he wins awards. He probably figures he’s doing something right.

Now that I’m back in the States for a while, I can check Facebook with ease. So, until now I was spared the awful knowledge that one of my former students has become a full-blown conspiracy nut, finding links among 9/11, Newtown and the Boston Marathon bombings. He has spent some time dissing his more sensible friends for calling him out on his bullshit.

And get this, he’s African American and calling Obama the N*****-in-Chief.

Clearly, he forgot all I taught about the scientific method in physics classes.

He hasn’t changed the format since 1998.

OMFG!!!! It HAS to be some kind of offense against nature to be so incredibly wrong, so often and so spectacularly. Jim “the derp” Hoft has slightly less credibility than “Weekly World News”, I’m more likely to believe that BatBoy is real than anything that shows up at Gateway Pundit.

1. No evidence of anything is available yet from Boston bombing,
so use a cartoon.
2. No applicable cartoon exists, so edit two down to one that kinda sorta…
no, doesn’t even…
3. PROFIT!

They are such cowards. No support for Boston, for the victims or their families, no, they are in CYA mode, terrified the perp will have their site bookmarked.

re: #15 RealityBasedSteve

I have this ritual now of when Charles posts something about Jim Hoft, I then run over to Wonkette. They usually pick up on the same story and insult Hoft accordingly. Nice one-two punch.

Congrats to Varek, BTW, on the 10 millionth post and the Maddow book. Your incessant campaign of sabotage and graft has won the day!

He won’t. The skit was designed from the first to offend and objectify women. It was intended to appeal to the basest desires of men.

I don’t even get what there is to believe? That the makers of Family Guy (or the “Hollywood” People) were behind this attack?

As far as he was trying to say anything it was:

Hurr, hurr, hurr, look at how insensitive those bad lefties are. They think bombing are funny then the bombings happen. Hurr durr, yurr burr.

Wonkette’s great “bio” of the Dumbest Man on the Interent.

Comedy gold…

EDIT: this quote from the post is IRL LMAO:

In a world of close to seven billion people, where the internet is exponentially becoming a greater part of people’s everyday lives, it is Hoft who deftly gazes upon the information around him and manages to shamelessly shit his pants publicly on a daily basis.

That the big mean lefty MacFarlane thinks the attack was funny is my guess. What idiot Hoft doesn’t know is that MacFarlane is from the Boston metro area.

Before I pack up my toys and turn in for the night, there’s an interesting article over at BagNews* discussing the contrast between the graphic photos from yesterday’s bombings of American civilians and the “almost total visual censorship of American war casualties”:

War and Terror: What Shocks Me Most About the Bloody Marathon Bombing Pictures (GRAPHIC)

G’nite, everyone.

*BagNews analyzes media images from a largely liberal perspective. There are some pretty good discussions in the comments sometimes—it’s one of the few places where I actually read them.

Yeah, I remember all the long arguments back during the early part of the “War on Terror” about how wrong it would be for the media to display pictures of flag-draped coffins coming back from overseas. All the whining about how it was “just like Vietnam,” that the media only had interest in the photos to turn people against the war…er, the troops. And when they finally got permission, the screams of “Ghouls!” resounded for awhile.

Meanwhile, the local paper can display pictures of blood puddles on the front page from the latest shooting and the only worry is “A child might see it!”

45 Redshirts Lament  Tue, Apr 16, 2013 7:53:48pm

Charles, do you ever pay attention to Free Republic?

To see the difference on how you handle this site compared to how Jim Robinson manages Freep is illustrative, to me, of the differences in political outlooks.

Also, they raise something like 350K a year to run that piece of crap site.

46 FemNaziBitch  Tue, Apr 16, 2013 7:54:15pm

Yeah, but at least $330,000 of that goes right into the Robinson family pockets.

Play by Play. Most of the time, the former athlete or coach is a color guy who offers insight. Summerall was unique in that he was a former player who did play by play. Most play by play guys aren’t former athletes.
