. . . to the last part in parentheses. Matt Stoller is not a good kid. He is a sick person who has lost some part of his soul.

Otherwise, nicely done Mark.

This classic line from the film Moonstruck seems pretty appropriate.

Lefties being lefties, they are too absorbed in the adoration of their self-deification to reflect on this basic truth.

Hopefully we will all exit this world in a benign fashion. But we are all mature enough, hopefully, to know that doesn’t always happen. (Oxygen deprivation during a Joe Biden speech comes to mind here.)

Matt Stoller- what a jerk!

One wonders what Mr. Stoller would have said if someone had used similar language in referring to Elizabeth Edwards, who, as we all know, is also fighting cancer.

To ask the question is to answer it.

Or any records his mother gave birth to him in Hawaii.

You’d think someone so concerned about the openness of McCain’s medical records, might wonder about that - if they were intellectually honest that is. (snark)

Considering that we know almost nothing about Barack’s Chicago days due to stonewalling and dishonesty, I’d say the left has no room to talk about releasing info that is relevant to pursuing the presidency.

About Obama , what’s the rush? He’s 47. He could have used 4-8 years to build some national security cred and come back unbeatable. His wife says ‘it’s now or never.’ Do they know something we don’t?

O could have made a good run this primary, then spent the next 4-8 years holding a hearing or 2 on his NATO subcommittee. Instead, he played the race card in South Carolina (a tactic Chaz Rangel called ‘absolutely stupid’ — and I don’t think Rangel meant the stupid controversy over LBJ, he meant going for the race jugular on the Clintons). Now he’s nominated prematurely. Crying race on a popular woman Democrat, he threw the Dems into an identity politics minefield that could cost them a devastating and well-deserved defeat. He’s 47. What’s his hurry?

I think he’s afraid he won’t be so adorably cute in 8 years. He doesn’t want to work to keep his tall, slim figure — let’s face it, that’s his main political asset — into his ’50s. Imminent gray hair, man-boobs and wrinkles can skew a celebrity candidate’s perspective.

As someone who has the exact same affliction as Sen. McCain, I can attest that the affliction of malignant melanoma is NOT a detriment to ones life, health or well-being with one exception; if left untreated it can eventually bore through the dermis and spread through the blood stream.

But this is atypical of the affliction and really in this age of medical treatment it is almost unheard of in western society to have cancer spread from a malignant melanoma. Or so says my doctor, who is ironically the very same doctor that treats McCain.

Something that I always point out that the sun worshiping aspects of the pre-1980’s of slathering SPF 4000 from head to toe has resulted in many people in the 40+ age group to have some form of skin problem. Which of course highlights the fact that as many people get this treated with no ill affects; supporting the point that he was treated and healthy.

Yes, you can be cancer-ridden. It’s called metastatic cancer. Melanoma is one of the worst cancers to metastasize. It can pretty much go anywhere. Once metastatic, the five-year survival is <10%. I love your website, but YES, you can be ridden with melanoma.

now!! After Bill Clinton, Screaming Al Gore, Fantasist John Kerry, and a background cast of thousands, some of whom are quite insane enough to still refer to the “illegal” war in Iraq and double lock their doors at night against the inevitable knock of the FISA Gestapo.
I suppose to the lunatic in the madhouse it’s the therapists that are abnormal. So goes Matt, drool away baby.

You give him way too much credit when you say he’s a misunderstood kid. He’s a 30 year-old trust fund baby whose parents’ money sent him to Harvard. He has never had to hold an actual job, but has no problem taking the paycheck of hard working people to fund his liberal guilt.

He exemplifies the incivility and dementia found on DailyKos. Stoller’s political discourse consists of pejoratives combined with ad hominem attacks.

Prior to the Internet, disordered malcontents like Stoller and Markos Moulitsas displayed their literary skills on public rest room walls. Thanks to high tech they now possess an international forum, but the intellectual content of their work remains pre-kindergarten.

   About the personality of a character like Matt Stoller, is that his is typical of an affliction found in many on the Left, in which they can use any perjorative terms and make any sweeping generalizations about those who oppose them (whether on the Right or Center) with impunity while they expect their opponents to behave like good little children and not complain about their bullying tactics.  Given them time and have enough of them lock themselves away in a room, and you’ll find that they lose all touch with reality and any sense of human respect or dignity that the rest of us are supposed to keep when engaging in public discourse.  Thus, my definition of “collective insanity”.

It’s not worth it.
