Great Moments In Liberal Military Heroism

Okay, so a lot of them are just plain fake. But they have important (bullshit) stories to tell anyway.

See-Dubya links to a take-down of the newest Fauxdie Murphy on the left -- warcrime fabulist Jimmy Massey -- and takes us down memory lane regarding the original, Micah Wright, who claimed on his blog that he was a Special Forces kill-crazy madman who saw "the shit" in Panama and you were an ignorant chickenhawk to dispute him.

Later it turned out that the most "military action" he'd seen was a brief stint as an ROTC officer, and the only "shit" he'd seen was doing jumping jacks on the field to the north of the Quad, and on top of that he'd left that program before completion for one reason or another. (I think it's because he was secretly "tapped" by the CIA for their special Mechwarrior force, codenamed "METALSTORM CRIMSON ULTRA.")

And, oh yeah, he happens to link a couple of my funny takedowns on this lying sonofabitch to boot.

I'm not reposting those-- See-Dubya is. But seriously, pretty good stuff I think.
Especially "Wea Culpa," my own brave confession about certain... inaccuracies about my own history that I've peddled in order to win arguments.

Thirty years from now, Massey will be the Democratic nominee for President.

Okay, I confess. I just took on the Jewish minivan mom persona to win arguments. I'm actually a pimply faced 19 year old boy living in his mother's basement, with a huge Japanese comic book collection and lifesized cardboard cutouts of every major Stars Wars character. And five Boba Fetts. And homemade Mandalorian armor. With functional jetpack.

Whew, I'm free! No longer am I living a lie! FREE!

I hear some guy named Wesley Clark tried to pass himself off as some kind of general.

Went to See-Dubya and wallowed in the "good old times" when Ace was a young whippersnapper (blogically speaking). Now, as we all know, Ace has grown into...a Blogenstein! Or is it Blogenshteen?

Whatever.

The point is we all knew him when...
...he was a cute little mofo.
...he wore a frilly little dress.
...he nailed Powers Booth.

You get the picture. And can probably come up with MUCH better ones!

Whoops! I didn't mean to go off thread. I was overwhelmed! Overwhelmed, I say!

It's not my fault! I'm a victim!

Posted by: Maranna on November 11, 2005 06:00 PM

I have this vague memory that another piece of evidence against him came from the wife of some blogger (my extremely vague memory is that it was Spoons' wife) who had known Micah in college and knew that he was a habitual liar, even then. But more important is that she knew him in college at a time when his revisionist autobiography had him in the service.

Does that strike a bell with anyone?

Posted by: Steven Den Beste on November 11, 2005 08:22 PM

Alabaster, shhh.... Bush supporters can't talk about him without lying. (Same with any other veterans who oppose the GOP, from George McGovern to John Kerry to Tony McPeak to Gen. Shalikashvili. Heck, they even lied about McCain when he ran against BushCo.)

Gotta keep pretending George W. "Not Observed" Bush, Dick "Other Priorities" Cheney, and Don "Saddam's Pal" Rumsfeld are the American heroes. Right along with Bandar Bush, Chalabi, and Pat Robertson.

Speaking of strange bedfellows, don't miss the NYers review of Republican fiction (the kind that doesn't get people killed, for a change). These are "moral family values" you won't even want to read until the kids are asleep.

Steven--that's exactly right. Spoons' archives are gone but the ASV archives I was browsing through made that point. More bloggy goodness.

Posted by: See-Dubya on November 11, 2005 09:40 PM

Yes, Steven (or should I say Mr. Den Beste,) I do remember some woman from Micah's past talking about how he was a pathological liar even then.

Or maybe it was Ted Rall. Hell, all of those commie pinko bastards love lying. It's the only way they could get any action.

Posted by: Sue Dohnim on November 11, 2005 09:43 PM

Oh, the "Micah Wright is a Fucking Liar" post!

I remember that post like it was yesterday. It was around the time of the MuNu migration, as I recall.

Good times. Happy times.

Posted by: Phinn on November 11, 2005 11:24 PM

I read the same thing about Micah, Sue and Steve. Can't remember who posted it but they said they knew him when he was at school during the time he later claimed to be in the service.

Podcast: A quick postmortem of the savage beating suffered by the Republican Party and Donald Trump. And a new reason to hit the tip jar...Buy Guns For Sefton!
Email confirmed as once used by the Muskily Heterosexual James Talarico found in leak of emails of Fling.com sex dating site:
An email address that James Talarico's attorneys confirmed belonged to and was at one time used by the Texas Democratic U.S. Senate candidate appears in a database search result associated with the adult dating website Fling.com's 2011 data breach. A Fling.com account was created with Talarico's email address just before Talarico began teaching sixth graders.

The result lists the username "mohawk787" and an account creation timestamp of December 26, 2010, at 20:56:49. The profile's interests field lists "FETISH," "GROUPSEX," "SEXUAL RELATIONS," "ONLINE FLIRTING," and "OTHER."

Townhall shared the information described in this article with the Talarico campaign and requested comment Friday morning, and in response, a mere 35 minutes later, received a four-page, detailed letter from legal counsel for Talarico that addressed some, but not all of the information described in this report.

"Well I can't believe the trans-child-obsessed Confirmed Bachelor James Talarico is into group fetish shit," said noted void phantom Doctor Nullity, The Man Who Never Existed
I'm not the guy who noted this, I saw it on X (Razib Khan maybe), but The Bulwark could be "audience capture". It might have started as the Frum / 90s-Kristol / NRO classic Eisenhower Republicanism. But nobody was reading the Bulwark except leftists.

Tallyrand has a quote on this, "I am their leader so I must follow them".

Same goes for David French, Christianity Today, and the "Anxious Bench" side of Patheos. They may have started out Christian. But it wasn't Christians signing their checks.

We call on France to exercise restraint when dispersing the freedom fighters on the streets of Paris.
