They all appear to be the same person, whoever it is is in a major attack mode posting flaming comments on Michael Pacholek's parodies, a few in reply on Malcom Higgins parodies and in defensive stance on Politically Incorrect parodies. . .perhaps it's PI?  Hmmm. . .whoever it is sounds a lot like LT, and these comments need to be removed.  Offensive is an understatement, words like Homo, Hobo, F**k, Commie, and other flaming remarks all over the latest comments board from last night, all posted within a short period of each other, and it continued into the morning.  Nothing like boosting your own self confidence like pretending to be several people in agreeance with yourself (sound like other extreme mental cases we've had?)  I don't participate in the arguments, but nobody deserves the blatant attacks posted last night, and it is only letting me report one comment. . .it's continuing this morning, and shows no signs of stopping. . .IP check needs to be done to see if it's anyone we know because whoever it is deserves the Ban Hammer--and a swift kick in the tuckas for being such an @$$hole. . .you don't have to agree with everyone--but respect has been thrown out the window.

One of the comments particular bothersome is someone purporting to be Mr. Pacholek himself. . .which is what finally prompted me to make a report here and to let others keep up with it.  Do yourselves a favor, don't feed this troll whoever it is.  Comments and attention is what it wants, that's what Trolls feed off of, it's what they live for. . .save yourself the time, reasoning with an extremist is like reasoning with a poopy diaper, it's not going to change anything, and you'll have to smell it the whole time you are there.

Although I can do nothing about it - I had to give you karma Dave. 8)

I gave the last few days a once over and deleted some comments... not sure about individual parodies...

Chucky, could you PM me with my editor's page links for Amiright? I didn't think to put them on My Favorites on the laptop before I left for this trip (16 days on the road and counting).

I think there should be a limit to parodies of this nature. Yesterday there was a truckload of paroides from Malcom, with an extremely ultraconservative viewpoint (praising the Republicans, especially Parah Salin spoonerized; and bashing the Democats, mainly President Barack)....some of which I think should be removed because of their bitter tone. Then he goes and calls people names who don't agree with his sentiments. As I recall, Mr. Higgins is a long time parody author, who wrote mostly NON-partisan parodies, especially in the early days of Amiright. Now he seems to have lost all his charisma and is establishing an extremely ultraconservative nature. Something needs to be done about this before he gives the President and his supporters the third degree.

Personally I wouldn't mind a limit of 10 parodies a day by any one artist, or even 5, with others bumped like I do with the one per day on the recordings section, but that's up to Chucky, sometimes projects happen where a parodist will post a lot in one day, but I don't know, I kind of agree with a daily parody limit, so long as it's not subjected. Malcom's 23 parody Monday, caused my parody to be overlooked, and I'm sure it hurt some other parodies because people simply don't want to wade through all that crap, but it's also a rare occasion.  I'd support it or the motion for it, but I see the cons to it also.

I sort-of agree with you there as I feel my parodies tend to get overlooked as well. I don't have much time as I would like to write parodies; hence you don't see that many parodies from me. Malcolm Higgins must have PLENTY of time on his hands to write 23 parodies a day. Just out of curiosity, what made you think your parody got overlooked? I read your parody on Monday and saw it had a few fair comments.

yeah...but he seems to be bullet-riddling the site with these ultra-conservative parodies lately, and it's just making the site less welcoming. Just like when we had that bombardment of toilet fetish parodies from Poomaster 2 years ago. 60 or 70 % of the new parodies for one day would be about one particular subject (which might be unappealing to most peoples), and it would overshadow the other parodies. I think my fellow Guest makes a fair observation in the above post. MH used to write lots of non-partisan stuff. It is one thing to be a prolific author, but it is another one to have a bitter tone in your works.

It's hard to say which is worse...the ultraconservative, anti-Obaba parodies (which I think should have a limit; quite frankly I feel comfortable with a Domocrat in office...and I know that lots of people were happy to have a black man elected to the position); or Poomaster's toilet fetish parodies.

I'll take poo to hate any-day, unfortunately we can't be subjective or show favorites on what's allowed or not allowed so long as they aren't attack parodies on other parodists or racist etc

Lol! I quite like your comment as its a direct inversion to what I would type! (As follows, it would be "I'll take political parodies (as long as they are not attacking other parodists or racist) over poo parodies any-day!"  8)

I'll take poo to hate any-day, unfortunately we can't be subjective or show favorites on what's allowed or not allowed so long as they aren't attack parodies on other parodists or racist etc

Yeah, I agree with that. At least there's no threatening stuff involved in most of the poo parodies.

Still, all of Poli-'s works seem to be attacks...although he's not all bad. The one parody of his that I actually agree with was the one about Blagojevitch.

Anyway, I'd like to hear what Chucky has to say about the flame-war/border-line libel that me and the other Guest referred to in our above posts. I'd like to see an end to that; I don't want Amirirght to suddenly turn into a Right-wing Conservative parody site. I like to see parodies about all kinds of different subjects, especially ones that DON'T spark flame-wars like MH's recent stuff does.

I have read most of the above replies and have to agree with most of them. We are really getting buried under an avalanche of stuff about Obama from Malcolm Higgins and his supporter P. Incorrect. It is starting to make the site look like an aggressive political discussion site rather than an entertaining music site. Perhaps Malcolm and P. Incorrect are trying to be Linda Terhune #2 and #3 respectively.

I don't mind the odd political parody now and then, as long as it doesn't incite hatred or whatever, but it does get rather tedious when every day the site is being flooded with political issues. I agree with Below Average Dave's reply that states most good parodies are getting overlooked because of the dirge about Obama swamping them, which means that most people don't want to wade their way through all that rubbish.

Now please don't think I want to get Malcolm Higgins banned, because I don't. All I like to see is for him to tone down some of the stuff he rights.

It's way out of control over there now. I call for a ban to these parodies; if we stop them for right now, then that should help put a lid on these political debates.

I agree. All we ever see on AmiRight now is political stuff. I feel Malcolm Higgins and everyone else involved in this political lark should go and make their own political website and argue their views there.

I agree with you there. If MH and his cronies wanna keep this stuff up, they'd best do what you suggested, and not clog up Amiright with their rubbish. It's just not fair. :\'(


I know that MH is a long time parodist, but I feel he should get a warning from Chucky, and then a ban if he doesn't straighten up. He's even gone so far as to name-calling, which is just childish. He's also being flat-out defiant, saying that he's going to keep making them, even though he's getting critical responses from those who hate his stuff (such as Michael Pachloek, Andria, Mr 1's, Anonymous Informant, and me, among others). His defiant attitude shows that he doesn't give a damn about anybody but himself, and that he doesn't know the meaning of the word respect.

Of course, the folks who've expressed their disapproval of MH's works have been later ridiculed by anonymous trolls, which heats up the debates even more. I strongly feel that Higgin's latest parodies - those he's posted in the past few days or so - need to come down. Not only that, but his bitter attitude seems to be overrunning the site, as a few other posters above me have pointed out; and that's making the site very unwelcoming. If there's any justice in this world, I would like to see peace restored to Amiright. Heck, I'm sure there are numerous people who are fed up with MH and Poli Incorrect's ultraconservative nature and would like to see it end.

I think the best solution to this issue would be to disallow future anti-Obaba parodies. Or any type of parody that would spark these flame-wars that have been going on. (Actually, anti-Obaba paroides seem to be what mainly cause flame-wars.) If one should come through, please delete it.


I would like to hear what Chucky has to say about this; I'm sure he's probably bored with MH's crapload of stuff that has been domineering the site.


Should we post some links to the disrespectful parodies that he's written, and ask for the admins to remove them?

As much as I disagree with both MH and PI's views, I do have to say placing any particular celebrity on 'safe' status is dangerous.  Personally I wish that the political parodies weren't the only thing we saw everyday, left or right for that matter.  The thing is I've felt the name calling (which is largely under pseudonyms) and bashing has gotten out of hand, and some of the parodies went to far.  I don't know that much can be done about it, personally I've chosen the 'ignore' route, since people who chose to hate by color or ignorance (not naming names on either of those comments--the parodies deserving of such descriptions speak for themselves when they come up) rarely change their mind or are open to reason.  I consider myself to be moderate, socially I generally am on the left ( I hate hate, and only hate, I don't understand anti-race, anti-gay, anti-nation, anti-insert the blank attitudes) and financially on the right (My tax payer dollars should not fund stuff I don't support) but neither party fits that bill--but Obama should only be judged on his work, his job, the position we as Americans voted him into, not the color of his skin--the background that predates his work, or what his wife wears in foreign countries . . . that is where I get irritated.  anyway, keep up the discussion it's interesting, Perhaps the best way to fight this, is not to fight it at all--after all the one thing someone who wishes to force crap down people's throats is attention, Ever heard the phrase "All Publicity, is good publicity". . .extremists show it everyday. . take away the attention--and they are powerless

My suggestion to solve the flame war problem is to split the Amiright site into two sites - Amiright and Amileft

I dunno...I don't think the site should be all about politics. That would drive LOTS of people away.


Also, it seems that MH is starting to send out threats; here's a perfect example: http://www.amiright.com/parody/60s/elgelberthumperdinck0.shtml
The introductory comments even contain threats aimed at the people who dislike his latest stuff, as I mentioned on another thread.

Personally I wish that the political parodies weren't the only thing we saw everyday, left or right for that matter.

Yeah, I agree. We need less of that (in fact, I'd prefer none personally), and more parodies that will NOT easily spark flame-wars.



The thing is I've felt the name calling (which is largely under pseudonyms) and bashing has gotten out of hand, and some of the parodies went two far.

I agree with that too; but the name-calling is mostly done by Mr. Higgins. (I think he's supposedly an adult now, around 40-ish years old, but he's certainly not acting like one. I've seen 12-year-olds who are more mature than him.) You're right, they have gone too far. That's why some serious action should be taken, as Mr. Critic said above.



I don't know that much can be done about it, personally I've chosen the 'ignore' route, since people who chose to hate by color or ignorance (not naming names on either of those comments--the parodies deserving of such descriptions speak for themselves when they come up) rarely change their mind or are open to reason.

That's what some of us have done; choose the 'ignore' route, but I don't think that's going to make the rubbish go away. It would if some bully at school was harassing you (trust me, I've been there a long time ago), but this is different. Malcy is starting to go the way of Lindie Terhune, who was banned for sparking too many flame wars and maintaining an arrogant attitude. Now he's threatening the Obaba supporters; I think the line should be drawn there.

Chuck, you've gotta check out Malcy's latest parodies (and perhaps remove them). Malcolm's name-calling bit is getting worse. In the following parodies he's name-calling the president something awful and becoming more and more childish.

http://www.amiright.com/parody/misc/patsycline14.shtml
http://www.amiright.com/parody/70s/jacksonbrowne23.shtml

In all three of these, he's referrred to the president as "Odumba" (which is more childish than "George W. Bulls**t" which I've seen). I call for an abrupt halt to parodies of this ilk. I say those three especially should be taken down.

One more:

This last one (at least from the title) seems like a threat by the author.

I find it curious that someone who lives outside of the U.S. has such a big interest in U.S. politics. ???

Chucky...

You've gotta come see this parody:

http://www.amiright.com/parody/80s/michaeljackson194.shtml

The author (Poli-tickly) is unfoundedly assuming that Hilary Clinton is a lesbain (which is WRONG), and he's accusing me of making threats and harassment when in fact he is the one calling the kettle black. I was just leaving constructive criticism in my commentary at first, but when he began to name-call me, I got super-angry.

If I were Chucky, I'd remove this parody, since it clearly contains border-line libel which should not be tolerated on the site.

Delete please:
www.amiright.com/parody/70s/paulmccartney108.shtml

This author is back again, and he's out-right discrediting the president, calling him childish names. (I think the label "odumba" should be on the banned list from the site; it is rather annoying. I had no problem with "shrub" for GW Bush, only because he was disliked by so many people, and that he, a republican, was said to be responsible for the problems the US endured during his presidency.) Malcolm has gone on too long with these harsh, arrogant slanders of Obaba, and I think a stop should be put to them. It really breaks my heart that he is making so many parodies to discredit the president. :-

I for one am baffled by it.
