Yes, she says this with a straight face and expects you to believe it. Jen is suffering from gretachristinitis. So very, very busy. Carrier’s master race rant was published 0n August 20, 2012 at 12:25 pm. It’s taken Jen a week to find “time” to read it.
Snurk.
Indeed. I somehow find that hard to digest. Carrier set off somewhat of a baboon panic. It was not due to his sentiment – it was due to the fact that he expressed that sentiment, representative of the actual aims of Skepchick and freefromthoughtblogs now incorporated under the brand of AtheismPlus, so candidly and unambiguously.
For once, Blog Hog was stuck for words. Really, there is no out here for Carrier’s words because they reflect the actual objectives of the baboon collective. No way to weasel out of it. So we get this lameness. The baboon backchannel discussions must be fascinating right now – “do we throw him under a bus or not?”

Carrier has gone all-in A+. And now PZ has an A+ link setup on Google hangout.
This is most definitely a coordinated effort on FfTB, probably using the ‘back channel’ email system to time things.
Again, I wonder what Dawkins thinks of A+ and FfTB using his A symbol?

I enjoyed how Carrier approvingly quoted the hero of rational skepticism, George W. Bush: “You’re either with us or against us.”
And today, PZ Myers has responded to a few ‘selected’ comments and questions about the new Atheist Tea Party, including the comment that not everyone who disagrees with them is necessarily a misogynist. His brilliant response? “You are too! EVERYONE who disagrees with us is an asshole, so there! Go away.”
I am dazzled by the thoughtful and rational thought being displayed there.

A rare moment of honesty from King Baboon.

The strawmen are strong here:

The comments section is incredibly funny. Myers attempts a flaccid defense of Richard Dawkins (Please don’t hate him because he’s a privileged white male!), but the commenters are having none of it. They are convinced he is the enemy. Myers will have to address this insurrection sooner or later. One can almost see the wheels turning in his head: “Hmm, alienate the most influential atheist on earth, or kowtow to my herd as usual?”.
This promises to be very funny. Perhaps Myers is simply hoping to run out the clock until Dawkins is dead.

“Perhaps Myers is simply hoping to run out the clock until Dawkins is dead.”
I had similar thoughts. If they’re waiting to take over and try to obtain the same level as Dawkins, they are highly delusional (Call it “The Blog Delusion”. None hold a candle to him. Not even close.

FfTB is getting stupider and stupider. Full out attack on Dawkins today on Blag Hog and overall false reporting/jumping to conclusions in general on the site.
As I mentioned many months ago, anyone on the edge believer/atheist that goes there and reads the comments will soon say “I don’t want to be an atheist if I have to be associated with this shit.”
One of the most anti-human, anti-achiever site I’ve ever seen.
I have a suspicion that most commenters over there are deluded college kids/sheep with nothing better to do than agree with their idols.

@Overlord… That is hilarious!
I hadn’t seen it, but it does call out a lot of hypocrisies.
