WESTERN STUNNED HERD EST MORT

:-))

To my deep regret, the Western Standard has decided to stop publishing our print edition.

It looks like Ezra found out the hard way that catering to the unemployed, angry, bigoted loner demographic isn’t a successful business model.

    I love all the whining going on over there (a lot of it from names I recognise as the usual mouth-breathers). Funny, no one seems to be exalting over the fact that teh fwee mahketz! has spoken and that it has properly valuated the worth of such a product.

    The fact that Supermodel Ezra! brags about the rag’s star columnist, Mark Steyn in his swan song pretty much says is all.

    Good riddance, I say.

    From that link:

    “Even though our advertising revenues were stronger than ever, with marquee brands like GM, Mazda, BMW and Air Canada filling our pages, and even though we had the most loyal subscribers in the business, with an unheard-of 80% renewal rate, we just weren’t close enough to profit.”

    What is the world coming to when conservatives can’t figure out how to use conservatism to make money from conservatives?

    The Right has hit their high water mark in Canada and has begun to recede. This major mouth piece for the perpetually angry ‘right’ is a symptom of their looming decline!.Hallalejah!

  4. Ti-Guy said,

    Yeah…maybe conservatives will re-think the unbridled hatred thing. That’s never been all that appealing….I think even conservatives must suffer hate-fatigue after a while.

    …well, except for the usual posters at the Stunned Herd. If they didn’t have their hate, they’d have nothing to say.

    But how will Exra make his Hummer payments?

    Maybe he should have sold the Hummer (if anyone would buy it) instead of getting all those poor deluded rightwingers to pay for two or three year renewals. Maybe his last message should have been “So long, suckers!”

    Ezra’s already cashed in what he managed to grift from subscribers to the rag and the investors.

    Way to go, Ezra.

    Exactly
    Like Naomi Klein states in her book .”The Shock Doctrine”
    shock does not last ,eventually the people recover their bearings and move on…
    Conservatives and that particular virulent brand of conservatism,neo-cons , & neo-liberal economics,has had it’s time.The writing is on the walls

    Ah Robert, when you say “unemployed, angry, bigoted loner” it sure seems to be that you are describing yourself, not Ezra.

    Then again, he is Jew and we all know how tolerant you are about them.

    Again you proved that you cannot help yourself and show your true colors that you are nothing but Jew hating Nazi. You are one sad example of a human being.

  10. Holly Stick said,

    Gee, Deno sounds a lot like Ezra himself. I heard Ezra on the radio at the time of the cartoon flap, and he was talking about couple of people from a Canadian Muslim group. Ezra called them Jew haters in a vicious tone of voice. I don’t recall if there was a particular reason for him calling them that or if he was just expressing his own hatred.

  11. Ti-Guy said,

    Ah Robert, when you say “unemployed, angry, bigoted loner” it sure seems to be that you are describing yourself, not Ezra.

    Ah, there’s that personal attack the Good Christian Deno can’t resist making. Followed by the usual smear that has nothing to do with anything…

    Then again, he is Jew and we all know how tolerant you are about them.

    …and ending with the seething contempt that is fundamental to so many conservatives:

    Again you proved that you cannot help yourself and show your true colors that you are nothing but Jew hating Nazi. You are one sad example of a human being.

    You are a fucking piece of shit, Deno. All this seething hatred over the fact that a crummy rag has bit the dust.

    Drop dead, already, you fucking hypocrite.

  12. arthurdecco said,

    You have to forgive Deno for his hateful, spiteful stupidity. It’s all he can write when he forgoes his meds and instead takes up power drinking in the afternoon.

    Remember - it’s a looooong weekend - he’s been dribbling and drunk since Friday afternoon.

    Feel sorry for the person that’s going to have to change his underwear when he finally passes out.

  13. Ti-Guy said,

    Whatever happened to Christian temperance? I guess it’s just another one of those principles (like charity) that can be discarded when it’s inconvenient.

    gee Deno, i’ll have to remember that line next time i hear someone diss mel hurtig…

    First this “Ah, there’s that personal attack the Good Christian Deno can’t resist making. Followed by the usual smear that has nothing to do with anything…”.

    Followed by this “You are a fucking piece of shit, Deno. All this seething hatred over the fact that a crummy rag has bit the dust.
    Drop dead, already, you fucking hypocrite.”

    Who’s the hypocrite here? Too funny.

  16. Ti-Guy said,

    I didn’t initiate the attack, fuckwad.

    God, you’re so stupid.

  17. jmckay said,

    I see. So your personal attack is justified because he attacked YOU first?
    Except that he didn’t and you’re not.
    Would you say your response was “a measured response to the situation at hand”? This sound oddly familiar…….

    Sorry I am trying to write this with a straight face but I simply cannot because the simple irony here is lost on you. But then again, I am just so stupid so what would I know!

  18. Ti-Guy said,

    Shut up, you big ol’ twat. If some shit-mouth launches an unwarranted attack, I respond. If you don’t like that, you can kiss my arse.
