COMIC TURN Dennis Miller scales the Rushmore of wrong-headedness (Barry Crimmins Barf)

Boston Phoenix ^ | 2/28/3 | Barry Crimmins

So long as church-state integrationist John Ashcroft is the attorney general, a purge of the potty-mouthed Miller is never a distant possibility.

He became interested in child pornography when he suddenly remembered being raped AS A BABY after discussions with his sister. He then started investigating all the chat rooms, often posing as a 12-year old girl. In one article he is quoted as saying someone offered to send him pornography that took EIGHT HOURS TO DOWNLOAD.

Paging Mr. Ashcroft. Looks like we may have a pedophile here....

It is vitriolic left-wing hatred like the above article which forced Dennis Miller's eyes open, as well as countless other "sheeple" (including myself a few years ago). Calling patriotic conservatives "Nazi-like" has been the last straw for many.

Keep it up loser, the Right is winning.

The beauty of Dennis Miller is that everything he’s doing is on tape. What he has been saying will be available for review by people for a long, long time.

Memo to Barry: The same can be said for newspaper editorials.

Barry Crimmins is currently a nobody, who once brushed lightly a few so-called sombodies. These somebodies include Dennis Miller, Steven Wright, and the hilarious Kevin Meaney. The last time Meaney was on Commedy Central impersonating his mother ("that's not riiiiight!!!") for the thousandth time he had me in stitches -not. Unfortunately, Crimmins has pissed off too many people in his career, and has not been heard from anywhere but obscure liberal papers that nobody will pay money for (how much does a copy of the Boston Phoenix cost anyway?). Now he's just boring, and in order to put food on the table he has to say more and more outrageous things to get people to pay attention. As a commedian, he's looking up at Gallagher and Carrot Top.

One must also remember with great disdain, how many Frenchies embraced the Nazis, collaborated with them and turned over French Jews to them for the ovens. So much for French concern for "the little ones".

[Jim Scott]

This is the usual kill-the-messenger diatribe from a leftist. He's clearly jealous of Dennis Miller's success and obviously afraid of Millers ability to articulate - and possibly influence - the masses via TV and his ridicule of old lefties like That Guy, the newly-unemployed Phil Donahue.

As Miller tells it, he started to drift away from and reexamine the liberal mindset when they all rallied around Clinton in '98-99. Dennis Miller rightfully thought Clinton should have resigned or been removed from office and here were his friends defending the guy to the bitter end, and beyond. He questioned his political values at that point and found some of them lacking.

Unlike Crimmins, Miller is able to actually examine his political beliefs and admit the flaws. That Dennis Miller has moved to the right politically is great and as has been mentioned, must be a bit scary for the liberals who see their whole political structure slowly rotting from within and being abandoned by the people they thought they had locked in for life, like Dennis Miller. Ad hominum attacks are about all they have left now which will only alienate decent Americans even more. It's interesting to watch, even if it does get nasty at times but Dennis Miller can take care of himself and easily fend off the attacks of a Crimmins who is just a no-name Hollywood hack parroting the liberal line like a good boy, hoping for peer approval and maybe, another job.

A pure ad hominem without a single substantial argument. A pathetic display of pettiness and disloyalty.

The best thing that could ever happen to Crimmins would be for Miller to acknowlege this article and make a one sentence response the next time he is on TV. But, since Miller has had tons of writers over the years, if you informed him that Barry Crimmins attacked him in the Boston Phoenix, Miller's response would be "Who the heck is Barry Crimmins?"

[WaveThatFlag]

Now why would a guy who writes nothing but "hate-speech" be dissing his meal ticket?

...it is more like getting stuck in the back seat of your pop’s station wagon while he lectures you on "Americanism" through 30 miles of heavy traffic. In front of your friends

Too bad more "pops" don't do this nowadays.

[hattend]

He has actually become so vile that he is not even suitable company in Hollywood. He can now make a game-show host shudder in revulsion.

And yet, Jay Leno is rolling on the floor laughing and the audience is howling whenever Dennis Miller appears on the show...everytime!

They must all be laughing AT him, huh Barry.

I think he's a bit confused by the sight of howling laughter directed at a comedian. He's never had that reponse from one of his audiences. Seriously, when he does standup, there are a few fake gaffaws, but mostly polite clapping from the liberals in the audience.

If you keep repeating the hack "Ya know Dubya is SO stupid ("How stupid is he?")..." routine for long enough, even a bunch of embarassed liberals will eventually grow bored.

[Motherhood IS a career]

He believes his verbal consecration will make us forget that the little bastard stole the White House

And that's what it's all about. They will never get over the fact that they lost -- plain and simple, fair and square, no one "stole" anything -- they just lost. I'm so sick of all their whining.

[Servant of the Nine]

What's funny is that even lefties will admit that conservatives (by the standards of the industry) in entertainment make good bosses (Miller, Drew Carey, etc) but lefties like Streisand, Nader, and Michael Moore are known to be hell to work for.

Who is it that is always getting caught not paying Social Security on their domestics? Liberals.

They care about "The Peeeople" in theory, but are so self centered and selfish they don't mind screwing over people they know, people around them.

Conservatives don't much care about taking care of "The Peeeeople" in general, but feel an obligation to take care of people they are associated with.

These days "Noblesse Oblige" is sneered at, but it sure beats Liberalism.

Incidently, Mr. Crimmins is a HUGE Sharpton fan, so at least he's a useful idiot, right?

[amused]

Author shows his colors here. He is a communist agitator with a hidden agenda. His delusion is that the comming revolution is inevitable.

I see this with frightening frequency on leftie sites. "We know what was said and who supported what and when we have trials of these people etc.".

...and that is what it really boils down to for little tyrants like Mr. Crimmins. He's not particularly interested in helping anyone so much as he is in punishing people, and types of people, that he has perceived to have slighted him in some way. Which is why he stopped doing drugs himself 20 years ago, but he is a strong advocate of legalized drugs. He really is a sick, twisted, very bad man.

[Motherhood IS a career]

All else aside, I find this guy's calling President Bush a "little bastard" highly offensive.

Me too.

Do you suppose it has ever occured to these brilliant champions of peace and justice, who speak of our president with such disdain and disrespect, who would spit upon our troops, and who would sooner have faith in the motives of a proven untrustworthy tyrant such as Saddam Hussein than our own president, that were they to write their venomous little rants in a country like Iraq, under a ruler like Saddam, they would have been beheaded by now had they referred to him as a "little bastard?"

It's applied collectivism, actually. They claim to care about "the people" as an aggregate but are contemptuous of individuals.

WOW!. "Barf Alert" doesn't do this piece of trash "justice"! Of course, I doubt any "alert status" would, save maybe "Highly Radioactive Nuclear Waste From Another Misguided Liberal Whos Also Insanely Jealous Alert"! hehe
