Once again, by special dispensation from the admins, a “Nancy” thread is allowed to be featured here. Only in this case, the “Nancy” isn’t about the Nancy, but about one of his most trusted and admired cultists – the amazing LudwigVanQuixote.

So what’s Ludwig gotten himself into now? Heh. Those of you who have been following Diaries of Daedalus know, but for everyone else, well, Ludwig decided to go play Rabbi. Ok, nothing new about that. Except that he, well, decided to play Rabbi with a group of real Yeshiva students. Over at DoD, a little bird by the name of Fiddler on the Hoof dropped this link with the whole gut-bustingly funny thread. This resulted in this thread at DoD.

It didn’t end well. He was – how should I say? – handed his tuchus stuffed with matzoh balls. He didn’t return to the forum. So you’d think he’d learned his lesson and decided not to try to go to a gun fight with a paddle ball.

If you thought so, wrong-o. Instead, he retreats to his little green cave, and churns out his strangest piece of writing to date. Superficially, it seems to have something to do with Fox News, Glenn Beck and Nazis (who else?). But he tears off into a sub-rant about ignorant anti-science “frummies”, clearly aimed at the Orthodox Jews who weren’t having any of it.

If I can briefly paraphrase the whole diatribe:

1. Glenn Beck criticized George Soros, therefore he’s a Nazi.
2. Go look at some real Nazi propaganda, and see for yourself that it’s the exact same thing that Beck was saying.
3. Beck is also a Nazi, because he’s anti-science, and so were the Nazis (???)
4. Further proof of Beck’s Nazism is his denial of AGW.
5. The essence of Nazism is populist rage fueled by Nativism
6. Teabags are Nazis
7. Therefore Glenn Beck is preaching the Protocols of the Edlers of Zion
8. Ludwig von Mises is a Nazi (???)
9. The Frum Jews are too stupid to get out of bed in the morning because they don’t watch TV.
10. Because they don’t watch TV, they’re Glenn Beck robots. (???)
11. The GOP is full of Nazis who dress up in SS uniforms.
12. We need to be terrified of the rage of the teabags. Can’t you hear the boots?

Commentary is pointless. It quacks for itself. I’ve already made it clear that I believe that if this quack is a scientist, Chuck Johnson is a ballerina. But I didn’t feel qualified to touch the religion thing. The Yeshiva students went there. Resoundingly.

Seems like Ludwig would do well to consider a corollary of one of his blogmeister’s sayings: When you hit bottom, it’s probably not a good idea to keep on digging.

I think we can expect the mother of all angry tirades against us stalker Nazis shortly.
