For the purpose of mocking Robert Peter John Day properly, one should actually ignore the hilarity of him lecturing anyone about ad hominem attacks in this post, and focus on this particular post, wherein he attempts to needle Steve Janke about... well, something.The problem is that the post in question is nearly two years old.(If Janke really were marching on someone else's orders, that marching started a long time ago.)But, for bonus hilarity, one should consider the following:That's John Baglow complaining that Janke's link doesn't work -- which might have something to do with the fact that it's nearly two years old.If anyone needed another reason why Day and Baglow are unworthy opponents, one would have to wonder what the hell that might...
First, there's the set-up:Then there's the punchline:Shorter Robert Peter John Day: "14 dead women?...
Those examining the general case study in human psychological ugliness that is Robert Peter John Day have likely long noticed that one thing he loves, above all others, is the opportunity to preen about anything he can pass off as an embarrassment for a conservative thinker or leader.If there's more to any particular story than Day would like to present, he either blatantly omits it, or simply ignores it, confident that his sycophants will follow his lead. That is the very foundation of his intellectual dishonesty.A clear recent example of that is this little tidbit about the Prime Minister's current visit to China:That Day decided it as imperative that he bump up the paragraph about criticism from the Chinese media from where it actually appears in the original article is particularly...
Normally, it's considered poor form to mock the elderly, and for good reason.But when someone is both elderly and insists on acting like a complete tool, someone has to make exceptions.But with Robert Peter John Day's idiocy and hypocrisy so prominently on display recently, it seems like a fun opportunity to more deeply address the matter of the Canadian Cynic Temple of Sycophantic Groupthink, and some of the individuals who worship there.One of the preferred insults lobbed at ideological rivals by the denizens of the Groupthink Temple is accusing their opponents of being "infantile". Which is actually rather ironic when one considers that, not only can these individuals very seldom live up to any reasonable standard of maturity, but many of them are, oddly enough, positively...
What Robert Peter John Day wants his readers to see:And, the full comment:"Beautiful.Did you happen to see Robert Peter John Day's response to this? Basically, his argument is that this little episode doesn't make him look stupid because he already called you stupid.The problem is that Day is so pathologically dishonest that he can't even be honest with himself. You should see his most recent memory hole shenanigans.Hilarious stuff."Which, oddly enough, is an entirely accurate description of Day's online behaviour of late.Which just goes to remind everyone about Robert Peter John Day: when he's not linking to what he presumes to mock, it usually means he's omitting something he doesn't want to acknowledge.And, yeah. It happens a...
What a buffoonVeteran hypocrite-watchers have known about Robert Peter John Day for a long, long time.It's simply impossible to be that high-profile a hypocrite without notice being taken.One of Day's most predictable complaints against his opponents has been that of the "memory hole" -- cases where his blogging rivals edit or delete embarrassing posts in order to cover that embarrassment.But as amusing as anything is Day's own predilection for indulging himself in flushing embarrassing missteps down that same "memory hole". So was the case recently, when he edited one his blog posts in order to replace what was essentially an unwitting admission that many of the accusations of dishonesty he lobs are disingenuous with another accusation of dishonesty.And as is the case whenver Day is...
In a recent mental spasm at the Canadian Cynic Temple of Sycophantic Groupthink, Robert Peter John Day fantasizes about the wonders of fake Twitter accounts:"I'm thinking of a 'FakePatrickRoss' Twitter account. It would be like a real Patrick Ross Twitter account, except that every tweet would begin with 'So what you're saying is, ...', followed by something incredibly fucking stupid and dishonest.Oh, wait ... that would be the same."Of course, there's something interesting about that little remark. Almost as if something's changed here...Fortunately, Google and BreadnRoses has the answer:It's an odd little slip of the tongue and/or mind on Day's part. Almost as if he knows that when he accuses his opponents of dishonesty that it isn't true...Of course, this would obviate the need for the...
Evidently infuriated ever since it was pointed out to him that the "score" between himself and the rest of the blogosphere isn't nearly so one-sided as he would like people to believe, Robert Peter John Day has been simmering in outrage.Today, Day has jumped on the outrage that someone would impersonate one of his trolls.Which apparently would make anyone who does that a terrible, terrible person.That is, of course, unless that person is one of his sycophantic lackeys, and that individual not only impersonates someone, but accuses someone else of being that impersonator.That, apparently, is super-duper-hunky-dory.So the best response one can really offer to Robert Peter John Day is a simple "meh". He didn't complain when his trolls were impersonating Halls of Macadamia proprietor Neo,...
Perhaps the greatest mark of a true narcissist is the need to convince oneself that they're winning, no matter what.When one speaks of online narcissism in Canada, the conversation more or less begins with the Canadian blogosphere's sociopath-at-large, Robert Peter John Day. In a recent blog post at the Canadian Cynic Temple of sycophantic group think, Day takes some time out to crow about what he imagines the score to be:Yup. In Robbie Day's own mind -- and in the minds of his sycophantic worshippers -- he and his cohorts have been a three-person wrecking machine.So it might be interesting to take a look at some of the episodes Robbie Day doesn't talk about. Because they're much, much more interesting:-Robbie Day pretends that weblinks generated by an automated system are tantamount to...
Stay classy, Groupthink Temple. Stay classy.As one continues to keep one eye on the baleful denizens of the Hateful Left -- that particular group who, while espousing left-wing political views, make it perfectly evident that their political views are not so much predicated on such beliefs, but rather on hatred of the opposition -- it bears repeating that often their pursuit of portions of their agenda (even entirely benign portions of that agenda, such as same-sex marriage) often lapses into out-and-out quests for the personal destruction of their opponents.A particularly telling case is that of former Miss California Carrie Prejean.Prejean's cardinal sin against the gospel of the hateful left is publicly expressing her personal opposition to same-sex marriage.The case in point today is...
Conservative Party, HBC, VANOC all in on the act... riiiiight?Sometimes, one simply has to weep for the demagogue when they can't find anything substantive to bitch about.In a recent sermon at the Canadian Cynic Temple of Sycophantic Groupthink, Robert Peter John Day seems to think there's a conspiracy afoot.The Conservative party and the Vancouver Olympic Committee are working together to politicize the Olympic games and promote the Conservative party.As evidence for this, Day offers up recent Op/Ed piece by Don Martin, who notes that what he considers to be a suspicious number of stops on the Olympic Torch relay are taking place in Conservative-held ridings."The cynic would look at it and think the torch relay is more about trying to torch the Liberal brand," complained Liberal whip...
Over at the Canadian Cynic Temple of Sychophantic Groupthink, Robert Peter John Day makes some of the more unintentionally hilarious comments uttered this decade:Hmmmm. Lowest common denominator. Lowest common denominator...Anyone think he could be talking about this?Or this?One has to wonder if Day would care to comment on the irony that the generally crass and vapid character of his writing -- routinely promoting hate speech under the guise of political commentary -- has amassed him a readership of vicious and empty-headed sycophants sufficient for his blog to be chosen to be linked to by an automated computer program.Probably not.One has to imagine that Audrey will be jumping all over Robbie and his lack of self-awareness any day now.No?Huh. Well, one could at least pretend to be...
There's something to be said about the fine art of putting one's money where their mouth is.By the recollection of some, John "Dr Dawg" Baglow has done precisely that when he apparently filed suit against Adrian Raphael Alexander McNair.Baglow offers little comment on what, precisely, he's suing Alexander over, and why. Raphael seems to have removed any post written on September 1st featuring any mention, whatsoever, of Baglow.To some, it would seem that this should satisfy Baglow. Only time will tell if it does.But for those who haven't followed the matter there may seem to be some mystery surrounding precisely what Raphael said that was "defamatory" of Dr John Baglow (he's a doctor? Who knew? -ed).Fortunately, the comments of Terrence Watson seem to provide a clue:"Didn’t you accuse...
Over at the Canadian Cynic Temple of Sycophantic Groupthink, few things have inspired Robert Peter John Day to wax triumphally than the deaths of Canadian soldiers in Afghanistan.With the recent death of Private Jonathan Couturier, reportedly thought the mission in Afghanistan was "a bit useless", Day seems to think he finally has his trump card in all matters Afghan:"What communist Islam-loving leftopian anarchists are not supporting the troops today?That would be... the troops.Let's be clear -- I'm not trying to use a dead soldier's (reported) words to bolster the case against Afghanistan; the issue will not be decided based on celebrity gotcha quotes and individual opinions.But for years I've been told that if I didn't support the mission in Afghanistan -- if I even questioned that...
Today at the Canadian Cynic Temple of Sycophantic Groupthink, Robert Peter John Day seems to think that he's got another real winner on his hands.The case in point is that of Blogging Tory "Dodo", who Day seems to think has provided some kind of evidence that all conservatives are slathering, violent psychopaths:"Does that look like a call for murdering leftists to you? It sure looks like it to me. Although I will admit that, when it comes to parsing someone's words, if there's anything I've learned in my years cruising the alleys and crack dens of Canada's right-wing bloggysphere, it's that:* Anything written by a progressive, regardless of how hyperbolic or humourous, is to be taken absolutely literally, and spun in the most unfavourable way imaginable, to the point where almost any...
Looks like some people are still clinging to automatically-generated links as their claim to grandeur.Yet, one can't help but wonder: how would the New York Times editors -- actual, human editors, as opposed to a computer program -- would think about this?Yeah, all the agenda-setting newspapers want to be associated with someone who instructs his readers to stalk children. It's all the rage. Didn't you...
The knives are out for outspoken health care criticEver since Shona Holmes appeared on the scene in the United States telling what is actually a fairly frightening story about access to health care in Canada's public system, the knives have unshockingly been out for Shona Holmes.In a story appearing in the Hamilton Spectator, Holmes recounts a story with a Canadian-born makeup artist working in the United States who was outraged by Holmes' actions."She said, 'You have to start telling the good things about Canada's health care, you have to start telling the truth,'" Holmes recounts.Unfortunately, such an attitude seems to be rather prevalent toward Holmes. A disturbing number of people seem to be insisting that if someone declines to pretend that experiences with Canada's public health...
First, the stupidity:And now, the coup de gras:That, ladies and gentlemen, is Robert Peter John Day -- finding himself rather uncomfortable with his own stupidity.And where is Audrey, one might wonder? Not holding her idol to the same standard she would so gleefully hold others to. That much is for certain.Update -And as for Robert Peter John Day's false and pernicious claims that I support and condone the murder of abortion providers?Let's take a look at what he passes off as proof:There you have it, ladies and gentlemen, commentary on unrelated topics is somehow proof of something that is demonstrably untrue.Only in the mind of Robert Peter John...
But I thought Comment Moderation was a terrible, terrible thing!Alas, folks. That's Robert Peter John Day living up to his...
Shorter Robert Peter John Day: "It's awful, just awful if someone posts someone's name, home address, and phone number on the internet"."Unless it's me, naturally. Oh, and I'll just go ahead and encourage people to go after him through his children while I'm at it.""And if ever called out on this, I'll just blatantly lie about the entire affair.""Any...
Accountability for "hateful rhetoric": it's only for the anti-abortion lobbyThe murder of Dr George Tiller was a terrorist atrocity.This was a line of argument that some, including Robert Peter John Day, fell absolutely in love with.In this case, it was rightfully so. They were right to denounce Dr Tiller's murder as terrorism. They would be right to denounce all instances in which abortion providers had been attacked as terrorism, even if they were extremely show to that particular punch.But the pro-abortion lobby started to significantly overreach when they started to insist that the entire anti-abortion lobby was to blame for Tiller's assassination.The argument was that the anti-abortion lobby had spread hateful rhetoric that had encouraged overzealous activists to murder Tiller as...
(Not-so-) Shorter Robert Peter John Day:"Shorter weaselly wankers: "Given that it's my blog, I have the right to run it any way I want, including posting ignorant, sexist, racist and libelous and defamatory swill, scientifically illiterate nonsense or just plain eliminationism, then dealing with feedback by, perhaps, not allowing comments at all, or moderating them and being deliciously selective about who gets their say and accidentally dropping others on the floor, or editing comments to misrepresent their contents, or maybe inviting feedback only to jerk people around by turning on moderation without warning when things get uncomfortable, followed by banning people who don't agree with me and describing as "trolls" anyone with the effrontery to show up and try to engage me...
Canada's hateful left squirms in the light of dayThe events that have transpired ever since Canadian Cynic, the spiritual leader of Canada's hateful left -- the bizarre collective of borderline fascists who define their left-wing political identity not according to their political beliefs, but rather by their hatred of those who don't share them -- have all at once been incredibly amusing and disturbing all at the same time.The disturbing: Robert Peter John Day -- now outed as Canadian Cynic -- seems to be every bit as terrible and sociopathic an individual as his "CC" character was. Perhaps one shouldn't be surprised.The amusing: Mr Day has taken his outing with the bizarre dignity of a person who doesn't realize that a very big smack is headed his way. His campaign of libel, criminal...
