Michael Smerconish gets his butt kicked over at Huff Po.
Edited on Fri May-12-06 08:38 AM by Democrat 4 Ever
Cenk Uygur has nailed Smerconish's hide to the wall and is taking a piss on the little coward and challenging him to either a debate or a fight - Uygur will let Smerconish pick. It is a thing of beauty. For your reading pleasure.

*Note to Mods - don't like the term used in the title but felt it needed to be copied as written.

Michael Smerconish is a pussy. A big gaping pussy.

He loves to talk tough from his comfortable reclining chair about death penalties and the war on terror - and how tough he would be in killing people. Yeah, I know, you're really tough. I'm sure Al Qaeda is quaking in its boots thinking about big, tough Smerconish.

(snip)

He says we're a country of sissies because we didn't execute Zacarias Moussaoui, who was involved with 9/11. You know what else happened on 9/11? Hundreds of brave firemen and police from liberal -- and hence sissy -- New York went into a burning building and never came out. The passengers on United 93 risked their lives and ultimately died to save their fellow Americans. One of the men who led the charge against the terrorist on board was a gay American. What a sissy!

(snip)

Okay Smerconish, show me how tough you are. I challenge you to a fight - verbal or physical. I promise to kick the living shit out of you, either way. I'll stand in for all the people you call sissies and you stand in for all the tough guys - and let's see what happens.

I'm not trying to be clever. I'm being literal. I look forward to kicking your ass. Al Franken once pulled a maneuver like this, so it's not like I think that I've come up with some new gimmick. I'm being serious. You choose - either a debate on foreign policy or a fight (UFC rules are fine with me). Show me how tough you are.

(snip)

Violence is seldom the answer. But it is in this case. An organized, controlled, consensual beat down. You agree to fight me, and I agree to crush you. Of course, I don't want anyone getting the wrong message. I am not advocating vigilante justice against idiotic conservative talk show hosts. I don't want anyone else to kick Smerconish's ass. Just me.

(snip)

Edit - tried to tone down the thread title.

Edit - Geeze - I've changed the title again. Apparently I can offend by association - that is the title of the article.

4. It's something else, isn't it?
Language and it's implications.

It's time for people to evolve.


I'm not even bothering to read the content with a title like that.

8. When is Philly going to get a liberal radio station?
You cannot find a liberal voice on any radio station in the Philly area. It's all conservative. Yes, I know about XM and Serious. I'm talking about the regular airwaves that should offer at least one liberal station for the thousands of people who listen to regular radio every day when they drive.

9. I'm still waiting for alternative rock
Don't have any of them anymore. Philly radio has always been hopeless though whether it's talk or music. I just haven't bothered with it for years.

7. Ah, OCD Smerconish
The handwashing germaphobic freak. Not to imply that anyone with OCD is a freak (went through a bit of germaphobia myself at one point). But surely anyone as terrified of germs as he is shouldn't be pointing the finger at anyone claiming they're a "sissy" for anything.
