Glenn Reynolds Is An Idiot

I literally laughed my ass off when I read this post by Glenn Reynolds.

I generally favor a nip-it-in-the-bud strategy — just think how much better off we’d be if Bill Clinton had seized any of his several opportunities to kill or seize Osama bin Laden — but I have to say my confidence in Obama’s ability to carry out anything much bigger than pinpricks is severely limited.

The amount of direct attacks ordered by President George W. Bush is zero. President Bill Clinton ordered the missile strike of the al-Qaeda training site in Zhawar Kili, Afghanistan. One of the goals of the strike was to kill bin Laden. President Barack Obama ordered the Seal Team mission that resulted in the successful killing of bin Laden in Pakistan.

Reynolds is using bin Laden to make the argument that Clinton and Obama were weak on national security. That is hysterical. Perhaps Reynolds needs to be reminded of this quote by George W Bush.

Who knows if he’s hiding in some cave or not. We haven’t heard from him in a long time. The idea of focusing on one person really indicates to me people don’t understand the scope of the mission. Terror is bigger than one person. He’s just a person who’s been marginalized. … I don’t know where he is. I really just don’t spend that much time on him, to be honest with you.

No one should take Reynolds seriously.

Quote of the Day

"In other words, he’s a racist hatemonger. Just to be clear. So much for hope and change."

Glenn Reynolds

I noted before that Reynolds is a fan of the writing of white supremacist Thomas Woods.

Reynolds has made racist comments here and here. The Nutty Professor recommended the book 33 Questions About American History You're Not Supposed to Ask by Thomas Woods. The author is a founding member of the League of the South. It is a white supremist group. The website operators won't come out and state their racist intentions. The board members even issued a statement that they aren't racist. They just want the South to succeed from the Union. And I have great swamp land to sell you.

This is the same Reynolds that advocated for genocide against Muslims.

Civilized societies have found it harder, though, to beat the barbarians without killing all, or nearly all, of them. Were it really to become all-out war of the sort that Osama and his ilk want, the likely result would be genocide -- unavoidable, and provoked, perhaps, but genocide nonetheless, akin to what Rome did to Carthage, or to what Americans did to American Indians. That's what happens when two societies can't live together, and the weaker one won't stop fighting -- especially when the weaker one targets the civilians and children of the stronger. This is why I think it's important to pursue a vigorous military strategy now. Because if we don't, the military strategy we'll have to follow in five or ten years will be light-years beyond "vigorous."

This isn't the only time that Reynolds advocated genocide against brown people that he doesn't like.

NOTE: It is certainly possible to conquer Afghanistan. We simply kill everyone we see (without being too fussy about how), except those who go in “protected zones” (sounds better than Concentration Camps) where we strip everyone of arms and kill anyone who looks like Taliban. Eventually, we turn the country over to the people we like. They won’t have any trouble holding it, since we will have killed most of the people who disagree with them. This is the Boer War with better sanitation and a worse climate, and this technique always works if you don’t mind being fairly murderous. It would be a massive undertaking, though I imagine the Russians would be more than happy to help. And certainly it’s within our abilities if we care enough. But, again, what exactly do we get out of this?

Anyone advocating genocide and concentration camps has no business calling the first black president a racist. Glenn Reynolds is a disgusting human being.

Quote of the Day

"SUCKER: Obama takes bait, embiggens Donald Trump. You don’t punish Donald Trump by giving him attention. A more experienced politician would know that. Nor is building Trump up good for Obama — Trump has actually hurt him more than all the others combined. Because, you know, Trump has actually been willing to criticize him without being afraid of the Big Media retribution. The various traditional GOP candidates still have the old cringe-reflex where Big Media criticism is concerned."

Glenn Reynolds, declaring Donald Trump the winner. Judge for yourself if Trump was winning as President Barack Obama ripped him up during nerd prom. Reynolds must have the same concept of winning that Charlie Sheen had after he was fired from Two and a Half Men.

The Foreign Policy Worldview of Glenn Reynolds

I am sure people read Glenn Reynolds' blog InstuPundit for nuanced punditry on foreign policy.

Glenn Reynolds, Sept, 11, 2001

GEORGE BUSH IS NOW THE MOST POWERFUL MAN IN THE WORLD: People always say that about Presidents, of course, but usually it's only notionally true. Now, if he wants to nuke Baghdad, there is nobody to say him nay -- and damned few who would want to. That's a danger if he goes off half-cocked, but I don't think there's much risk of that. But I wonder: do the people behind this assault realize what this means?

Glenn Reynolds, November 23, 2010

North Korea fires artillery barrage on South. If they start anything, I say nuke ‘em. And not with just a few bombs. They’ve caused enough trouble — and it would be a useful lesson for Iran, too. We can’t afford another Korean war, but hey, we’re already dismantling warheads. . . .

As we can see, Reysnolds' foreign policy evolved in nine years from nuking Iraq to nuking North Korea. In Reynolds' defense, he is an idiot.

Hat tip to Glenn Greenwald.

Just How Dumb Is Glenn Reynolds

Glenn Reynolds declares Tim Pawlenty "not man enough to be president." Reynolds' reasoning is because Pawlenty did not defend Palin's use of cross-hairs on her now infamous map. Most people judge the fitness of a presidential candidate based on his or her domestic and foreign policy positions. Reynolds' litmus test is whether a candidate probably defends Palin's use of the politically toxic cross-hairs.

Reynolds is a dumb guy. I remember Reynolds blogging that weapons of mass destruction were found in Iraq. Therefore, it is not a stretch to believe Reynolds can't comprehend that Pawlenty has no interest defending a potential presidential opponent on a politically toxic issue. Reynolds actually thinks defending the cross-hairs on Palin's map is good politics.

I pray to God a future Republican administration doesn't appoint Reynolds to the Justice Department. Reynolds should stay as a law professor and his students can continually say on RateMyProfessors.com he is an unchallenging and easy A.

Glenn Reynolds

Reynolds has no idea the environmental damage one nuclear warhead would cause. The radiation would kill potentially millions of South Koreans. Theoretically, a single cobalt bomb could kill all life on the planet. Furthermore, it is the South Korean government's decision what military or diplomatic action should be taken. South Korean President Lee Myung-bak has called an emergency meeting of the government. The United States should follow South Korea's lead. Not nuke a country that did not attack the United States.

Glenn Reynolds is insane. Did it ever occur to Reynolds that Russia, China and Britain might consider the United States an unhinged rogue nation if we start launching preemptive nuclear attacks against third world countries. It would put the United States national security at risk if nuclear-powered nations aligned against the Obama administration.

I'm amazed Reynolds is a tenured law professor. I would love to find out what his students and fellow professors think of his blog.

Glenn Reynolds Staying Classy

This is the headline for a link on Glenn Reynolds' InstaPundit.

FLORIDA: Clinton pushed the black guy to get out.

The headline to the Politico article Reynolds links to.

Bill Clinton pushed Kendrick Meek to quit Florida race

Reynolds makes the suggest to his conservative readers that Clinton pressed Meek to drop out because he was black. There is nothing in the Politico article to support Reynolds claim.

Reynolds has a history of condoning racism. Reynolds defended this photoshop image of Obama as a shoeshine boy not being racist because Rush Limbaugh was a shoeshine boy. We all know Limbaugh would never say or do anything racist. Not if you count every episode of Limbaugh's radio show.



Reynolds:

UPDATE: Or is it racist? Rush Limbaugh actually was a shoeshine boy. Yeah the racial stereotype is a bit shaky — when I was a kid I knew older brothers of friends who did that; even in Birmingham, Alabama they were white. By the time I was a teenager, of course, shoeshines were on the way out.

ANOTHER UPDATE: Boy, bend over backwards to avoid accusing a Democrat of racism and what do you get? Slagged by Charles Johnson. Oh, well. That’s what I get for my generosity, these days . . . .

Reynolds received flak for the post and updated it to say it was racist. Reynolds quickly backed down after people were pointing out that he came off as a racist jerk. Reynolds' statement of bending "over backwards to avoid accusing a Democrat of racism" is a false meme about the photoshop coming from the Left. Blogger Charles Johnson catches Reynolds in this lie and links to the right-wing blog that first posted the image.

Reynolds could care less about real racism. He wants to use any means he can to attack Democrats. Reynolds furthers racism by falsely accusing others and defending those that perpetuate it.

Latest Andrew Breitbart Temper Tantrum

Andrew Breitbart is refused to talk to Talking Points Memo about James O'Keefe's bizarre plan to film himself having sex with CNN reporter Abbie Boudreau. Fortunately, Boudreau was tipped off about O'Keefe's goal to act out his porn movie fantasies. (Ceiling mirror and dildos? Really.) O'Keefe has posted videos on Breitbart's web site in the past. Breitbart defended O'Keefe when the latter was arrested for attempting to tamper with Sen. Mary Landrieu's office phones. Breitbart got into an insane shouting match with David Shuster.

"You convicted him on Twitter!" Breitbart shouted.

O'Keefe was convicted and is currently serving three years probation.

Breitbart and Shulter argued over O'Keefe's ACORN videos. A law enforcement investigation found that O'Keefe doctored the video.

Brooklyn prosecutors on Monday cleared ACORN of criminal wrongdoing after a four-month probe that began when undercover conservative activists filmed workers giving what appeared to be illegal advice on how to hide money.

While the video by James O'Keefe and Hannah Giles seemed to show three ACORN workers advising a prostitute how to hide ill-gotten gains, the unedited version was not as clear, according to a law enforcement source.

"They edited the tape to meet their agenda," said the source.

On Tweeter, Breitbart threatened to sue blogger Oliver Willis for libel. Willis posted this tweet.

wow, @andrewbreitbart's crew strikes again. o'keefe planned to seduce cnn reporter on boat with sex toys

Bretbart fired back at Willis.

@owillis '@andrewbreitbart's crew'? do you want to get sued for libel?

It is an empty threat. O'Keefe has been on Breitbart's payroll. Shulter reported the fact in the video and Breitbart did not refute it. Breitbart would be laughed out of court if he tried to sue Willis over a tweet. Breitbart needs to spend less time worrying about the Left and more time working on anger management issues. The guy seriously has problems.

Side note: Glenn Reynolds links to an Esquire interview of O'Keefe accomplice Ben Wetmore defending the plan to seduce Boudreau on the boat. Reynolds is actually doing pushback for his buddy Breitbart. I am more than happy to point out the moral void that is InstaPundit.

I wonder if Professor Reynolds feel the same way about abolishing college tenure. Somehow I doubt it.

Got Entitlement Issues?

Glenn Reynolds, the Instadope, defends the paltry turn out at their anti-economic sense anti-stimulus protests by saying...

But it’s much bigger news when 200 people with jobs who’ve never protested turn out, than when 20,000 of the usual suspects organized by ACORN or ANSWER march with preprinted signs.

Shorter Glenn: We're just better than you.

Only a mind warped to the statue of Reynold's wingnutiness could honestly think that a protest of 200 is strong than one of 20,000. Keep smoking some instacrack there, you nitwit. And for the record Mr. Reynolds, I' ve been gainifully employed for most of the times I've protested I also shower everyday and don't have dreadlocks either, in case those were your next two stereotypical questions. And a question for you: does having such extreme issues with prejudice physically hurt?

P.S.:



Fuck you!
