Red County’s resident managing goon, Chip Hanlon, slammed O.C. Register editorial writer Steven Greenhut today, for daring to think like a Libertarian.
Here is just one excerpt from Hanlon’s ridiculous post, “In their bizarre ideology, it is better to passively watch all the events of the world and take literally no hand in shaping it to meet our American interests nor the those of individual liberty around the globe.”
Yes Chip, it is better to do NOTHING than to waste TRILLIONS on wars we have no business starting in the first place! If you don’t understand that by now then you are an idiot.
Here is another excerpt that simply begs a response, “Their “philosophy” is really pretty simple: Libertarians hate government, period, and the government they hate the most is their own. Thus, they will seldom offer much in the way of the solutions other than railing against the lack of political purity in our system, even if their “purity” would allow for polygamy, for instance.”
Um, Chip, aren’t John Ensign and Mark Sanford polygamists – at least by their actions? When are you red-faced Republicans going to realize that pontificating about what goes on in private bedrooms is a losing proposition when so many Republican elected officials are depraved pigs?
As for hating the government, don’t you know Chip that the public is PISSED at both our state and national legislators? What do they have, an 8% approval rating? We don’t hate the government – we are just fed up with the lame clowns running the government – and we are mad that they keep wasting our money while not doing anything to stop the waste!
But Chip isn’t done digging a hole for himself. Check out this excerpt: “Sadly, because the GOP failed so miserably on fiscal responsibility while in the majority, many on the right are being enticed by the little they know about Libertarians– their commitment to fiscal restraint. To an extent, their ideas here are admirable. When their full belief system is known, however, support of Libertarians like Paul cannot be defended.”
Now he is slamming Ron Paul? Are you kidding me? Paul is ten thousand times better than last year’s lame Republican presidential candidate, John McCain, and his insane V.P., the Palinator.
Memo to Chip – first of all stop calling yourself “Chip.” That is a ridiculous nickname and you are far too old to be using it. Second, don’t blame Libertarians for the fall of the GOP. Your party is dying because you guys focus on hate – hating gays, hating Mexicans and hating anyone different from your white supposedly Christian majority. Guess what? That is a losing proposition. You have lost the young voters in California and you sure as Hell won’t be getting the Latino vote – ever!
The GOP stands for NOTHING today. Republicans vote to waste money just as much as their blue counterparts. George W. Bush not only tanked our economy – he took the entire global economy down too. You guys had the White House and both houses of Congress and you accomplished NOTHING good.
One third of the voters in California are Decline to State now Chip. Why do you think that is? It isn’t the Libertarian Party’s fault. It is YOUR fault. Deal with it.
Chip, you’re a joke. Going after Greenhut is a sad strategy. All you have done is reveal what an ass you are!
I smell napalm in the coffee this am 😉
Art,
You and John have a lot more patience than I do. I just can’t tolerate all the pompous hating that happens over there. Liberal OC is just lame and have targeted Greenhut, too. Red County is just wrong. Again.
Red,
Typical – Red County and Lib OC are the same thing, but one is red and one is blue. Bunch of hacks!
And poor Chip has not received any votes in our survey…
Chip? Biff? Skippy? “junior”?
Grow up, man… 😉
RC and LOC are just opportunists. Starving opportunits that will grab any fallen crumb.
Art,
You left this part out of Chip’s insane diatribe:
“And it’s why a guy like Steve will take inane examples of government “intrusions” and turn them into full-blown conspiracies. You can question its effectiveness, statistically, but I doubt most rational people think that a law prohibiting someone from shooting a bottle rocket onto my roof represents an assault on all of our constitutional freedoms.”
He clearly is saying that laws prohibiting fireworks are there to protect him and his roof from children with bottle rockets. Hey Chip what about some personal responibility?
My question to Chip would be where he stands on gun control. By this line of thinking, all guns should also be outlawed so we can keep them out of the hands of people who would do harm with them.
I believe it was Chris Norby who asked the following question at Judge Jim Gray’s retirment.
“The Democrats want to be your Mommy and the Republicans want to be your Daddy, but are we children?”
A Republican named Chip. Can it be anymore cliche?
In critizing Freedom Fest he forgot to point out that Jon Fleischman will also be a speaker this year.

Art do us a favor in the future. Don’t link to ridiculous stories on Red County. John and Ken said it best. “It is a website for Kool Aid Drinkers.”
Uncle Art, I’m sick of Kool Aid, can you serve us more Juice?
Art, we’re still waiting for you to post the results of your “Who’s the biggest hack in the OC Blogosphere?” poll.
You were voted the biggest hack by your own readers. Maybe that’s why you haven’t posted about it?

LOL! The joke is on you. The entire point of that survey was to illustrate the fact that I don’t care what people think of me. I don’t have a thin skin.
Do you think Jerbal or Prevatt would ever put up such a poll on their blogs? No way!
The irony is that they had to send their boys to vote on my blog – and Blognetnews just ranked us #1 this week. That’s right. We’re the #1 political blog in the entire state. Hack that!
“The entire point of that survey was to illustrate the fact that I don’t care what people think of me.”
Nice try, Art, but that spin won’t fly. If that was true, you’d have said as much in the original post. You lie so easily I don’t think you recognize the truth anymore.
“The irony is that they had to send their boys to vote on my blog – and Blognetnews just ranked us #1 this week.”
If you believe that, i have a bridge to sell you. This from the same guy who used to say BNN’s ranking system was broken and flawed.
And the fact is you’re still afraid to post the results. If Cunningham or Prevatt had won, you’d have made that headline news.
The only person you’re fooling is yourself, Art.
#8/9,
The problem I had with BNN was that they counted Red County as one site. They have since fixed that.
In their latest numbers, Red County OC is now ranked BEHIND Red County San Diego and Red County Sacramento. How the mighty have fallen…
“The problem I had with BNN was that they counted Red County as one site. They have since fixed that.”
That’s revisionist BS, Art, and you know it. You were ragging on BNN back when the Red County blogs were all separate sites.
Whenever OJ was low in the rankings, you squawked there was something wrong with BNN. Whenever OJ does well, you point too the rankings of meaning something.
You are so predictable.
And still afraid to post the results of your hack blogger poll.
#11,
It is amazing that you have nothing better to do with your time than to harp on this. Anyone can go to that post and vote as the poll remains open. Once they vote they can see the results.
Perhaps the clowns at Red County can write a post about it.
I checked out their blog this Sunday and had to laugh. They did not have any comments. And they forgot to cover the story about Palin speaking in Simi Valley. What a joke!
