Step 1: Work yourself up into a mighty lather of ideological righteousness.
Step 2: Masturbate furiously.
Step 3: Write a post excoriating the Left (Dark Side) for its eeeeeeeevil tendencies, carefully casting the Right (Sugar, Spice and Condoleezza Rice) as the besieged movement representing truth, virtue and justice, and yourself as a fearless crusader beating off an enemy that threatens civilisation’s very survival:
Step 4: Notice a comment pointing out that you’ve been guilty of peddling exactly the same kind of brazen dishonesty you criticised in your post — and worse, that you were told what you posted had been completely debunked but did nothing to rectify it:
Step 5: Delete the comment.
Step 6: Ban the person who posted it:
Step 7: Wait until a sycophant comes along and agrees with your overall position:
Step 8: Reply as though nothing has happened and your integrity is intact:
Step 9: Celebrate yet another victory for the ethical Right by masturbating again.
Step 10: Don’t forget that getting around an IP ban is as simple as unplugging my modem, waiting 10 seconds, plugging it back in, then telling the blogosphere’s most despicable scumbag exactly what I think of him — and linking the comment back to all the evidence here at GrodsCorp:
UPDATE: The hilarity continues, after more childish editing and deletion of comments:

Step 1: Read “Sugar, Spice and Condoleezza Rice” and utterly lose my shit laughing.
Step 2: Read through rest of post with advancing smile on face.
Step 3: Get to step 10, read “You’re a gutless, hypocritical lying cunt, KG,” stand up, cheer and applaud.

(That’s what you get for sarcastically responding to an “Obama is an elitist” jibe with a “lucky John McCain and the Republicans are salt of the earth struggle streeters, eh” retort.

Ant, I love you and want to have your babies.

All seems like a lot of effort to go through, all the cutting and pasting, just for these guys. Funny, I know, but all the same I’m glad someone else is doing all the work for our lols.

Fucken grouse work, Ant. I must start employing the screen grab in this manner. And that trackback is solid gold. Bring’s a tear too my eye.
Keri, that’s the kind of comment that’ll earn you a regular spot on GrodsThink. Noice.

Well done Ant.
For everything else there’s Mastercard.
Btw, may I take the liberty of recommending this interesting story about a bloggers time in Rightard world?

I too will take the liberty of linking to a relevant resource:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/09/14/AR2008091402375_pf.html
The thrust is that a recent study proves that presenting conservative minded people with facts counter to their beliefs solidifies their beliefs.

Excellent article Slipheed!
Deserves wide circulation.

My attitude to sexuality is pretty similar I know that as long as I am willing to let others eat the sandwich spread of their choice I don’t actually have to like their sandwiches All I am obliged to do is let them eat what taste good to them. That is tolerance.
I have been happily married to the same woman fro a quarter of a century and as I happily do a role reversal with my wife and get pegged every weekend. It’s not homosexual to be pegged because it is a woman doing it — and I’m happy with the role reversal. It doesn’t mean I’m a shirt-lifter.

Why are all the apostrophes in this comment in their correct place?
Friday 19 September 2008, 7:10 pm #Chuck
Apostrophes being in the correct place or not, I think it is completely hypocritical of Grods to allow such comments (that fix the punctuation but leave the exact words in place) when it was pointed out that AWH moderators edit comments in a childish way.
Whoever made the comment should be banned.
