You’ll Have To Do Better Than That
April 20th, 2006 - 9:37 am
Those caring souls at Indmedia are trying to intimidate bloggers they don’t like – including me. Do I feel threatened? No, not really.
But I sure feel sorry for that other Stephen Green who lives in Rancho Cucamonga, California. I wonder how many idiots will show up on his lawn this weekend, and if his town has a (ahem) liberal “Make My Day” law.
Also according to Indymedia, my Denver buddy Jeff Goldstein lives somewhere in Montana. You’d think they could at least get the state right. Here’s a hint, fellas: Jeff and I both live in Colorado. I guess all those Red States look alike to them.
Our “reality based thinkers” are looking more and more like brownshirts in clown shoes.
(Hat tip, Joe Cool.)
I’m disappointed that I wasn’t also singled out. Maybe it’s because I make it too easy. My freakin’ phone number has been on my freakin’ blog for six freakin’ years.
No love at all from the crazy people.
I’ll be laughing about this all day. Good Lord are they pathetic. So what’s so liberal about Liberals anyway?
Uhh, they’re even stupider than that. Didn’t Reason put a sat photo of your house on their magazine a freakin’ year ago? And didn’t you link to it?
Don’t they know how to google?
Interesting that they equate posting the addresses of anti-war activists with posting the addresses of right-wing blogs.
And if the idiot ever actually read your blog, he might realize that you’re not right wing.
And don’t ya just LOVE that definition of fascism? I actually thought that she was just exercising her ability at research and encouraging people to exercise their rights to free speech. Silly me.
They also put Glenn Reynolds’s (mispelled first name as well) in Nashville, which would give the poor professor a four hour commute to UT every day.
This has to be a joke. Jonah Golberg lives in an Atlanta suburb? Only if he left D.C. and I missed it. And why would Thomas Sowell pretend to live in California if his address is in South Carolina?
In fact, of all of the people whose general location I know, every one seems wrong.
Story of my life… I get left out of THIS list, too. Who the hell do I have to lynch to earn some RESPECT?

Why, just the other day, Jonah and I were down at the corner of Peachtree and Piedmont planning our ongoing fascist takeover of Waffle House and Chick-Fil-A.
Excellent post and comments! This is SO FUNNY for so many reasons!
Stephen, how many points of yours does this example support regarding the hard Left culture that has become so prevalent in today’s political dialog?
And the fact checking…. I’ll be laughing about this one all day AND through the weekend!
Thanks!
Ummm…server farms, perhaps? Because after all, doesn’t everyone live where his or her blog is hosted? Watta maroon…
To “Not so Indymedia” … what a maroon.
Besides that, I’m willing to bet most non-liberal bloggers support the Second Amendment.
Here’s another one – Glenn Reynolds lives in Knoxville, not Nashville.
My god. I just realized. It’s brilliant. This is a Rovian PLANT! He’ll get protesters to show up at the wrong houses, get media attention on the idiots who show up at the wrong houses and make the entire “progressive” movement appear like a bunch of clueless disorganized jerks who couldn’t organize a way to pour water out of a boot with instructions printed upside down on the back of the heel.
Can anybody verify that a single one of those is correct? Some are at least in the right states, right? It’s got to be a joke.
Did you disable trackbacks or something?
Anyway this made my evening so I blogged about it http://www.di2.nu/blog.htm?20060420a
This seems like a bad idea.
Most liberals are against the 2nd amendment. Most conservatives and libertarians are just the opposite and happily exercise their rights.
Did anyone try googling the addresses?
The sad thing is that many of the actual addresses can be found pretty easily by using simple internet tools such as “whois”, which looks up the registered contact info for a domain. Vodkapundit happens to be registered through an intermediary, but Reynolds’ address is listed (apparently his home one). Haven’t bothered to check the others, because I don’t care. It’s just sad that they can’t get it right given how flippin’ easy it is.

I’m pretty sure the whole thing is supposed to be a sick joke, since they got all the addresses wrong.
But how sick do you have to be to post the address of some poor schmuck who happens to share a name with a blogger, just for a joke?
Steve, does this mean we have to move the next RMBB to California?
…could be fun…
Oh, come on! How many Stephen Greens can there be? /sarcasm

I’m actually offended – this is their best shot. Some people get to fight Dark Overlords but us? Nooooo, we get these guys.
There is no justice in this world.
“Brown shirts in clown shoes” is a very good line, practically poetry.
So what, they are using fascism to fight fascism?

Steve,
Come on, admit it. You’re really running the blog out of a muffler shop in California, aren’t you ?
This link tells it all:

And here we all thought you spent your days constructing Lego-replicas of the Death Star.
And, by the way, I’ve got this thing going on with the muffler on my Accord…….

They posted your comment, chuck(le).
And law professor Glenn Reynolds actually runs an automotive shop in Nahsville:

Interesting.
I wonder if we’ll have any ‘takers’. The distaff has been practicing her hand-gun capabilities with a bunch of other ladies of the community, of late.
I think shes due for some practice with live pop-up targets.

I just tried posting this comment. I wonder if they’ll post it or if they’ll get it.
“Don’t be muffled!
I strongly think that everyone should go protest at Stephen Green’s! He is trying to quiet us all! It’s un-Constitutional the way he is trying to muffle everyone!
I demand the right to make as much noise as I can!

Fascism is posting a press release??? What f-cked up dictionary do they use? That’s about as retarded as putting your contact information in a press release, releasing it to the public, then whining that your information was published.
No wonder I’m not worried about the childish anti-war left. And it’s laughable that they call for a rally at the homes of “right wingers”. Perhaps they’re forgetting that their opposition, and “right winger” support, of the 2nd Amendment puts them at a severe disadvantage. What are they gonna do, toss daisies and tie-dyed t-shirts? Maybe a couple of well thrown birkenstocks will do the trick?
They should come up with a clever name for their rally… something like Million Moron March.
In case no one else has noticed, all of the addresses are for auto shops of one sort or another.
If there is a point to that particular selection, I don’t really see it. Unless…just maybe…the poster is a mole for the horse-drawn carriage industry. That must be it, an undercover agent employed by Jim & Becky’s Horse & Carriage Service, Inc.(obviously a Halliburton subsidiary) is trying to use misdirected protestors to create a thorn in the side of the auto parts industry. Genius!!
TO: TexasRainMaker & Stephen Green
RE: Press Release?
“Fascism is posting a press release???” — TexasRainMaker
Actually, what whomever has done at IndyMedia comes VERY close to menacing, at least as I can tell, based on my understanding of the law. Or perhaps fomenting civil disorder and unlawful behavior.
Encouraging other people to ‘target’ someone and giving out their alleged ‘address’ with the intention of getting others to possibly conduct illegal acts against said person, would come very close to such activities.
Not to mention REALLY ‘irritating’ people who actually live at such places. Even if they are not the person mentioned in the article.
In which case, a case could be brought about perpetrating a fraud.
I have no idea who the person is who is doing this, but I get the distinct impression that they are getting themselves into some deep do-do.

RE: Addressing Issues
“In case no one else has noticed, all of the addresses are for auto shops of one sort or another.” — Nick Bourbaki
The addresses may be wrong, but the names are right.
The wrong addressing is a ‘dodge’. However, in light of all the names they cited, they make it plan, as in a ‘pattern of conduct’, what they are up to.

Chuck(le)
Maybe all you bloggers should tell these brown shirts that you live at 1060 W. Addison in Chicago. It worked with the Illinois Nazis.

You have got to be kidding me. This is so high school bullyish of them.
I don’t know whether to compare them with the Islamofascists calling for violence or with the Simpson’s character Nelson Muntz.
So… is the whole post a joke then? With all the wrong addresses?
TO: Julie (Synova)
RE: A ‘Joke’?
“So… is the whole post a joke then? With all the wrong addresses?” — Julie (Synova)
I don’t think so. I think the misinformation on the addresses was something of a legalistic ‘dodge’. But, in terms of a pattern of behavior, not an effective one.
From a OPSEC perspective, I’d say it was along the lines of “communicating a threat”. And that’s a legal matter too.
Regards,
Chuck(le)
And I think Hugh Hewitt listed in Minnesota is wrong, also. But, that might be the address of the Northern Alliance and, in THAT case, the protestors get what they deserve!
Synova, I am guessing that it is a really funny joke that someone is playing on his college buddies or something. It would be funny to do this to some of your friends or people you hate. (assuming they wouldn’t have to clip any lefties).
TO: MikeK
RE: Actually….
“I am guessing that it is a really funny joke that someone is playing on his college buddies or something.” — MikeK
….I think it comes closer to resembling the little kid who gets others of his kind to throw rocks at the windows of someone’s house.
He provides the rocks and points out the target….
Others do the “rock throwing”.
The matter becomes one of what the police ‘accept’/believe after the actual attack takes place.
This cretin is ‘tracable’. If ANYTHING happens to any of the people he mentioned, he’ll be amongst the first people to be ‘questioned’ in the subsequent investigation. And…if a link is established….he’ll do his ‘time’.
Especially if the perp (1) survives and (2) sings like a canary. And they often do sing, should they ‘survive’.

P.S. I think these people actually believe that US can be cowed like most of Europe.
They’re in for a rather rude ‘surprise’…..
Either way Chuck, I still think it would be funny if a bunch of protesters showed up at my brothers house tomorrow. All the addresses are to auto-parts stores anyway.
According to their search engine, that’s the only post by that author (“StopRightie”).
I think we’re looking at the troll to end all trolls. The question is, “Who’s being trolled?” All the responses seem to be (ahem) non-leftist. The question is whether that was actually the intended target of the troll. Or perhaps it was targeted at both sides; it’s been known to happen.
As I always say:
“Once again, we see that “tolerant” liberals are the LEAST tolerant people around. Their statement can be reduced to “Your beliefs are fine, as long as they don’t include the belief that my beliefs are wrong. However, MY belief that YOU are wrong must not only be tolerated, but accepted and supported by all.”
Jenn, I think that Indymedia post was satire.
Jenn’s quote is still pretty good though.
After all, tolerance is the right not to be exposed to ideas that you find offensive.
Hey, if I show up at your real address with Cheryl and a six-pack, can we protest in person?

RE: True…
“All the addresses are to auto-parts stores anyway.” — MikeK
…at least according to report. However the names are right. And, as I said (above), if anything untoward occured at a place of residence or work for one of the targeted individuals, the blogger would be high on the list of ‘persons of interest’ to be ‘interviewed’.

RE: Satire, Anyone?
“…I think that Indymedia post was satire.” — Steven Den Beste
Perhaps. However, it was poorly carried off.
But, still and all, one needs to be aware that there are people in the world who don’t believe in the idea of joking about creating mischief. They actually mean it.
The question becomes…

I think SDB is right. I also bet you that whoever put that post up is going to stake out the address nearest to him with a camera on Saturday, just to see what happens…
Well, at least “Rusty Shackleford” is bogus. The person using that pseudonym has long since said so.
What, exactly, is present in that Indymedia post which is secret — and true? (Maybe Ace’s real name, but aside from that?)
Satire? That’s fine. I just like seeing myself post. I’ve got a monsterous ego, and it needs stroking occasionally.

Since Hugh Hewitt broadcasts out of Glendale, CA, I’m pretty sure the address listed for him is wrong. Looks like the indy-ots at indymedia went through the phone book and posted the addresses for any name that matched the name of a blog owner.
At least some of the commenters seem to have two brain cells to rub together.
