Lionel Mandrake [TotalFark] 2008-12-18 03:52:47 PM  
In August, a FoxNews.com teaser for the "O'Reilly Factor" program said: "Obama bombarded by personal attacks. Are they legit? Ann Coulter comments."

HAHAHAHA*wipes tears from eyes*

Damn, that's funny shiat.

 
thomps [TotalFark] 2008-12-18 04:24:24 PM  
some experts are questioning whether Lionel Mandrake is a cry-baby moonbat libtard. are these claims legit? internet tough guy comments.

 
patrick767 [TotalFark] 2008-12-18 04:32:33 PM  
I'll gladly rip on numerous right wing blowhards, but I'm glad they got some Chris Matthews in there a couple times too. He's such a farktard.

One example: He once said of Obama: "This gets very ethnic, but the fact that he's good at basketball doesn't surprise anybody. But the fact that he's that terrible at bowling does make you wonder."

 
vernonFL [TotalFark] 2008-12-18 05:13:56 PM  
Obama bombarded by personal attacks. Are they legit? Ann Coulter comments.

That pretty much sums up all of Fox News.

 
Bocanegra 2008-12-18 05:19:26 PM  
Top 3 Most ridiculous Chris Matthews quotes (at least in the past few months):

3)"I felt this thrill running up my leg."

2) "...the fact that he's that terrible at bowling does make you wonder."

1). "I'm thinking about running for public office."

 
xxysyndrome 2008-12-18 05:19:55 PM  
Thank god they called out the New York Times. How that war-mongering reactionary rag (that uncritically stovepiped administration "intelligence" LIES right onto the front page) gets lumped as "liberal" in any way never ceases to astonish me. They shill pretty hard and regularly for Wall Street, too.

Sorry those are all good uns, but Mathews saying it was "his job to make Obama a success" takes the prize.

Hey, let's get the 2008 Fark Awards going here. Biggest Troll of 2008:

Skookum

Samsaren
RockDrummer

I vote for Skookum, even though he's been outed.

What other trolls have gone this year? Did RockDrummer get outed or just stop posting?

You don't see Huffington Post, Arianna Huffington or her crew of hacks anywhere on that list. They provide endless hackery.

America remains a center-right nation -- a fact that a President Obama would forget at his peril

If you are paying attention to Barry's transition and inaugural setup thus far, you would see that the quote is quite legit. If Barry isn't paying attention, the people around him sure are.

...you'll note most of the NYT slams are against David Brooks specifically. He's the one that brings "fairness and balance" to the NYT.

McCainDemocrat and Danlpon or whatever his alt was.

I think McCainDemocrat went travelling.

We could also vote for the Greatest Member of the League of Fail. However, trolls are different from NeoCon stooges.

i was amazed to see him dust that alt off and use it in a thread the other day. i thought common courtesy was to retire an alt after it has publicly and humiliatingly been outed.

Who was Skookum's alt? or his main I guess. Was it Whidbey?

I genuinely believed Skookum was mentally ill. He was by far the best troll I've ever seen. So extreme yet so believable.

Yes so? I think this thread is a good place to discuss our favorite farkers of 2008.

 
Delawheredad 2008-12-18 06:24:48 PM  
If nothing else it proves what a total putz Chris Matthews is. I doubt there is anyone as self-deluded as he is in all of the media outlets including Hannity and Olberman.

Surprised Fox didn't turn up more but it was a pretty good list.

He was really good at picking exactly the right things to respond to, if he responded at all.

 
Pechorin 2008-12-18 06:37:57 PM  
Billy McGoodGuy: It is interesting that some of these trolls keep popping back up as alts, yet others vanish all together. I wonder why it is that some find a way back, and others never do.

I think some of them aren't real trolls, but actually believe what they say. They might use different logins (like McCainDemocrat/Danlpoon). Others, like Skookum, lose everything when they're outed. That's why some return while others vanish forever.

 
CanisNoir [TotalFark] 2008-12-18 06:38:49 PM  
I find it interesting that anyone with a view other than the current Democratic Mantra of Iraq War = Bad and Obama = Saintly is immediately labeled as a troll or alt.

While Skookums will go down in Fark History (Props to ya Whidbey), and Danploon will be traveling for a good long time to come, I think too many people are too quick to scream "Troll".

It has become the knee-jerk reaction of the intellectually lazy and self-important.

You know, the Whidbey/Skookum and Danlpoon/McCainDemocrat things make me wonder if you couldn't kill a troll by "confessing" to being him. Would NY Zooman or Soften_Hands or whoever bother to keep coming back if everybody "knew" that they were really some respected Farker's alts? I mean, repeated protestations that it wasn't true really wouldn't carry any weight, would they?

More of a knee-jerk reaction to the intellectually lazy and self-important. I guess I just refuse to believe some of the retarded shiat that gets posted here from specific farkers, I refuse to believe any body's actually that stupid. There are lot of folks here that fall on the conservative side that actually argue their side without resorting to name calling or Rush Limbaugh Cut and Paste. But anybody who starts their post with You Libs immediately triggers my troll-dar.

I agree with you completely Canis. That's why I make sure to distinguish between genuine trolls and members of the League of Fail such as yourself. Read my previous post.

I find that one funny. It's been three times now I think that I've gotten an email from a friend going "Hey, I saw this on Fark, I don't know what you did to become famous but that's some funny shait" in response to someone posting The League of Fail Shop on a thread I've never even posted on.

I guess only a Fark Librultm would have enough free time to create photoshops honoring their political opponents, not having work and all.

That and I understand Patchouli spurs creativity :P

You should feel honored. I wish I was a Fark Independent so I could be honored too. You know, from what I've seen you're not one of the over the top wacko right wingers on fark. I may disagree with most of the things you say, but I wouldn't call you complete idiot devoid of any ability to think, like many others in the League of Fail.
