Revealed: Anarcho-socialist blogger talking points against bailout plan
Edited on Mon Sep-29-08 08:50 AM by HamdenRice
I see there's a thread this morning about someone having discovered secret talking points, presumably from Nancy Pelosi, to Democratic bloggers on how to sell the bailout. I have to confess that I did not receive my marching orders from Nancy this morning.

I did, however, receive this "strategy document" from an anarcho-socialist organization -- presumably just as authentic as the instructions from Nancy -- that I thought I'd share with DU.

I guess I'm on all kinds of crazy mailing lists, and I never know what's going to come over the transom.

Subject: Anarcho-socialist blogger talking points for bailout plan

Let it collapse! Let it collapse! Let it collapse!

Comrades, we are at an historical junture that can only end with the inevitable downfall of the capitalist system and all world historical political systems. Our job is to stay at our keyboards fighting the struggle against Democratic party sellouts and fascists.

For purely tactical reasons, our main ideological allies in the struggle at this historical juncture must be House Republicans, the IMF and University of Chicago economists!

In order to advance our world historical mission, I've recently taken up a code name in solidarity with the revolutionary commanders of Chiapas who use "nom de guerres" both to avoid detection by the fascists and to rally the people. When I recently attended a rally of Mexican day laborers and laid out my platform, the immigrant workers were so overjoyed to see me that they laughed in solidarity with me and gave me a codename/nickname!

I don't speak Spanish, but I could tell that the name was a great honor. "Pendejo!" the workers shouted, "Pendejo, vayate!" or something like that, which I think means, "comrade, onward with the revolution!" and so I will now be known as "Pendejo the Revolutionary."

In addition, I've re-organized my "cell" into a battle ready tactical unit as we move from advanced theoritization to action: Tactical Engagement And Battle Action Group. For short, we will use the acronym, TEABAG .

Taking our theory to action, we will flood the so-called progressive blogosphere with our calls to non-action: LET IT COLLAPSE! FORWARD TO THE NEXT GREAT DEPRESSION AND THE INEVITABLE REVOLUTIONARY SITUATION IN WHICH WE CAN ONLY WIN!

So far the members of my cell are me, my dog, Stompers, and my woman-companion, code named (again by my Mexican immigrant followers who gather each morning in front of the local Home Depot just to hear our politicization), "La Idiota". Actually, La Idiota will not be able to make this evening's meeting because she is baby sitting for her mother's friend. But La Idiota will return to the barricades tomorrow!

In the meantime, Stompers and I will continue our revolutionary propoganda campaign. We have set up temporary headquarters here at the Starbucks just outside the university's main entrance, and assuming I can still cash my father's allowance check (that the inevitable crash of the banking system has not begun), I should be able to stay here all day. In those months when my father has not sent the check at all, I have suffered the bitter pill of poverty, and it makes me want everyone to know what that feels like.

So flood DemocraticUnderground! Flood DailyKos!

Tactical Engagement And Battle Action Group -- CALL TO ACTION

We will not rest until we have TEABAGged every so-called liberal blogger on the planet!

We will TEABAG every Democratic sellout in Congress!

REVOLUTION NOW!

NO BAILOUT!

ONWARD TO THE NEXT GREAT DEPRESSION AND NEW NEW DEAL!

Sincerely,

Commander Pendejo

2. I have to confess...
I didn't create the character. Pendejo the Revolutionary was a recurring character on Morning Sedition.

I just was wondering what Pendejoy would think about the current controversy.

5. No, but anarcho socialists + House republicans + IMF are on one side
Democratic leadership + Paul Krugman are on the other.

9. Wow, egg on your face or what?
It's satire. Written by a conservative democrat like yourself. Congratulations, you are now offically a conspiracy theorist and rumormongerer.

7. Guys, this is satire.
"So far the members of my cell are me, my dog, Stompers, and my woman-companion, code named (again by my Mexican immigrant followers who gather each morning in front of the local Home Depot just to hear our politicization), "La Idiota". Actually, La Idiota will not be able to make this evening's meeting because she is baby sitting for her mother's friend. But La Idiota will return to the barricades tomorrow!"

Come on... lol. :)

8. Did I accidentally click on RushLimbaugh.com?
"Anarcho-socialists"? :silly: :rofl:

I bet they are closely aligned with the "secular humanists" and and the proponents of the "homosexual agenda".

:sarcasm:

13. No but you may have "stumbled across" Morning Sedition circa 2005
Edited on Mon Sep-29-08 07:26 PM by HamdenRice
-- the Air American morning show of that time -- when they had the recurring character of "Pendejo the Revolutionary" and his dog Stompers planning the ultimate collapse of capitalism in a way not too differently from certain DUers the last few days.

I suppose that the next thing you'll allege is that to borrow Lawton Smalls as an object of satire is fascist.

10. This is SATIRE written by A CONSERVATIVE. You are now official a RW conspiracy theorist. Congrats.
In other news "OBAMA IS A MUSLIM" and "HILLARY IS A LEZBAIN" and the "DEMONRATS WANT TO DESTROY AMERICA!!1!"

Let me translate for you:

<I don't speak Spanish, but I could tell that the name was a great honor. "Pendejo!" the workers shouted, "Pendejo, vayate!" or something like that, which I think means, "comrade, onward with the revolution!" and so I will now be known as "Pendejo the Revolutionary.">

"Hanging Asshair!" the workers shouted, "Go Hanging Asshair!" and so I will now be known as "Asshair the Revolutionary"

<For short, we will use the acronym, TEABAG>

TEABAGGING is a comedic term from a John Waters movie that means to hit someone in the face with your scrotum while wearing BVDs

12. So Marc Maron is a conservative Democrat?
Edited on Mon Sep-29-08 07:23 PM by HamdenRice
You do realize that the character of Pendejo was entirely ripped off (by me)from the old Morning Sedition show, right? That he was a regular character on that show?
