2012 Ballduster McSoulpatch Stolen Valor Champion
August 28th, 2012
I haven’t compiled all the numbers yet, since I am busy at work, but I can tell you that it wasn’t even close. Diliberto never won a day with less than 60%. He’s a special kind of dirtbag, and a worthy recipient of our award. At some point this week I will do a follow up, and maybe provide some contact info for the Veterans for Rethinking Afghanistan so they can explain to us how they have a man working for them who has continually lied about having served in the theater that they are ostensibly focused on.

I rode the losing horse on this one…bye Cock Inhaler, teh crazy is strong in you!
August 28th, 2012 at 9:30 am
….in helping TSO seed these the Inhaler was my #2 overall so I got that right….however, I had the Dildo man at #22
August 28th, 2012 at 9:31 am
ASSHOLE!!! HA HA HA HA HA!!!!! After he knocked out Gunny Driveway I had to stay loyal to the region. Take your medicine son.
August 28th, 2012 at 9:31 am
Any chance there is a skilled hacker amongst the TAH readership that could add ‘voted 2012 BMSV winner by his colleagues’ to his bio on Rethinking Afghanistan’s web page?
August 28th, 2012 at 9:42 am
Has anyone notified him of his victory?
August 28th, 2012 at 9:43 am
Dave Thul: I trust you ARE kidding.
August 28th, 2012 at 9:45 am
According to his Linkedin bio, he works at some niave-looking outfit called the Center for International Policy in DC… However, they don’t list him on their staff page of the Website (they do, however, list the office manager, so read into it what you will). He also claims to teach a seminar at the University of Birmingham in the UK.
Per guidance from the U.S. Supreme Court, I think tactful and truthful emails to all these places acknowledging this significant “victory” are in order.
Finally, I recommend that further posts about the “winner” always include the term “Jake Diliberto.” This will assist in online search optimization.
August 28th, 2012 at 9:53 am
Diliberto is a special kind of douche, similar in scope and asshatery to Matthis, but, since he cleans up better, more dangerous, because he LOOKS believable. He needs to be public ally confronted, preferably on air, with his service record and his lies, do that he is publically discredited.
August 28th, 2012 at 9:55 am
How about making a sub group award, for the tournament, like ‘Biggest Douche’ for lying about ones service on national tv?
August 28th, 2012 at 9:59 am
Can I trademark “Dilberto” as a verb now?
August 28th, 2012 at 10:02 am
Ballocks. Bye, Cock Inhaler. We barely knew ye.
August 28th, 2012 at 10:03 am
Diliberto never won a day with less than 60%.
So I can’t claim my “Copacabana” travesty last Sunday pushed him over the top…?
When Ballduster won last year, there were impassioned cries of “SOUP!!! SOUP!!!!” I don’t think we’ll get that for “Cock Inhaler” somehow.
August 28th, 2012 at 10:04 am
All hail Diliberto, King Doucheous XVIII!
August 28th, 2012 at 10:06 am
@PPR, I like that one and “Doucheous Maximus”. LOL
August 28th, 2012 at 10:08 am
We really need a trophy for these folks. How about the Bronze Massengill Award? They could hand it off, year to year.
August 28th, 2012 at 10:11 am
Now we need a montage style video, set to Rocky-esque music, depicting Dilberto lying about himself on TV with shots of his DD-214 and accounts of his fellow Marines scattered throughout.
August 28th, 2012 at 10:12 am
Jake Diliberto out of 64 known liars and frauds is deemed to be worst among his brethren for using his deceit to not only steal the honor granted those who actually did what he only claims to do, but also stealing the voices of those who actually served to further his career by claiming to represent their viewpoint to the public.
Certainly Diliberto is entitled to express his views, but his false claims of service are designed to lend a credibility and voice to his words that furthers his political agenda and those of his cronies. He seems to rise to the level of actual fraudulent activity as opposed to merely being socially unacceptable because of a few lies to get a woman naked, or gain an audience in a local pub one evening.
August 28th, 2012 at 10:15 am
And who has two thumbs and seeded him el numero dos??
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
August 28th, 2012 at 10:16 am
Well, I think I’ve found the proper “campaign medal” for tourney participants:
And for the winner, the coveted “Anus Maximus” award:
August 28th, 2012 at 10:44 am
@Elric, Off subject, but looking at the members gallary my unit relieved you in Rawah in 2005.
After Poe lost and I had to choke down the bitter taste of defeat I threw all in for the dildocicle. Someone needs to contact Larry King and inform him of Dildo’s landslide victory.
August 28th, 2012 at 10:45 am
Hahahahahaha Hondo!!!!
August 28th, 2012 at 11:08 am
I think this is great. Ballduster won last time because he looked like a beclowned phony. His image played a large part of his selection.
But today, Diliberto’s win shows that one’s clownish words and not just your image, qualifies you as the top SV moron.
Congratulations, Diliberto. You have assumed the throne left vacant by Ballduster McSoulpatch.
Maybe Pussnuts can call CNN and tell them of his ignoble coronation? You think he will?
August 28th, 2012 at 11:08 am
Hondo has an eye for finery.
August 28th, 2012 at 11:10 am
@Twist, how about Piers Morgan instead of Larry King? Larry’s done gone and retired. How about we get Jonn (not to be confused with John) to spend some time with CNN’s gossip guy on the subject and, while we’re at it, discuss Harry’s penchant for being (considerably) out of uniform on occasion?
Disgusting wins over disturbing. Well, hallelujah anyway!!!
August 28th, 2012 at 11:12 am
I liked you’re idea for a trophy too, PintoNag – but I couldn’t find an appropriate photo for the trophy. At least not in bronze. (smile)
August 28th, 2012 at 11:25 am
#22 – naah, I think even last year, substance won over style – at least in the final round. For looking like a beclowned phony, you couldn’t top the Soup, not even if you huffed Kiwi for a week you couldn’t.
August 28th, 2012 at 11:34 am
According to his facebook profile, Jake is back in DC today working on a blog post. Presumably his award acceptance speech.

Hey, maybe you could make up a gold paint-sprayed cowpie on a plaque, a little something he could hang in his office. Not only would it twinkle in the sun, it would smell like…well, you know.
August 28th, 2012 at 11:46 am
I look forward to that contact info.
August 28th, 2012 at 11:56 am
@Ex-PH2, that just shows how much attention I pay to Larry King.
August 28th, 2012 at 11:59 am
Actually, he’s a “stolen valor” winner twice over. I was not only saddened by what seems to be his military claims, but I was also somewhat distraught at his claim to be a “Christian Theologian.” If he lied about his military service for personal gain, that is a telling indictment of his theologic perspective.
August 28th, 2012 at 11:59 am
No way in hell he doesn’t know about this, or at least hasn’t heard about this yet.
No way in hell.
August 28th, 2012 at 12:02 pm
@27… He also says he’s doing 1 TV interview today. I’m sure it’s for something like Russia TV, and I’m also pretty sure it’s not to come clean.
August 28th, 2012 at 12:51 pm
JAGC: hopefully the interviewer will congratulate him on his tourney win during the interview.
August 28th, 2012 at 12:52 pm
I just dropped a dime on him to the Center for International Policy. His LinkedIn profile says he’s a “national security research fellow” there.

@ 20 Twist- I believe you were. I was the Squadron S3 at the time. COP Rawah…the fond memories of 2 feet of talcum sand and the friendly folks of the Euphrates River Valley (North).
August 28th, 2012 at 1:21 pm
An acquaintance of mine e-mailed a photo of a hot air balloon to me last night. I can forward it to TAH, if you guys want it. It is a particularly fine image of what most of us think of people like Jake the Jackwagon Didit-didn’tdildiberto. It’s priceless.
August 28th, 2012 at 1:27 pm
Well, every one I backed lost. Hope this changes in Nov.
August 28th, 2012 at 1:56 pm
Meh. Understand the thought process, but JD is too normal to be the champion. Boring!
August 28th, 2012 at 2:10 pm
@36 Elric, I was B Co 2/1 IN who was attached to the CAV that relieved you. I never made it to Rawah though. I got pulled and attached to the ODA team at Al Kindi in Mosul.
August 28th, 2012 at 2:32 pm
Prig: Don’t Jake the Fake fool you! He only appears normal. Like Jeffrey Dahmer normal. I’ll bet you that at night he gets all “Silence of the Lambs,” like Jame “Buffalo Bill” Gumb, dancing in front of a video camera dressed in cammie jammies and battle rattle, with Morrisey playing loud in the background.
August 28th, 2012 at 2:35 pm
I truly believe a Real Men of Disingenuous song should be written to celebrate this moment in history.
August 28th, 2012 at 2:52 pm
Sadly, the Sharkman will fall into the dustbin of history. So even though some of us supported the Inhaler, I think we all should hail the winner by emailing everyone we know and post on all of our regular forums and blogs that Jake the Fake is truly 2012′s Biggest Loser. And liar. And fake. And thief.
For the rest of the competitors, perhaps some small consolation award. I nominate Gunny Driveway for the “Worst Diction and Use of Syntax” Award. It could be known as The Fargin’ Icehole.”
August 28th, 2012 at 3:08 pm
will miss the crazy Inhaler facial hair….
Nah.
August 28th, 2012 at 3:50 pm
I think that the difference bewteen the two boils down to this: Vlad is a common horse’s ass who would be easily recognized as such by nonveterans of all ages. Dilbert, however, is a very special and repugnant piece of self-serving crap who is held in special disdain by Vets and those now in uniform.
August 28th, 2012 at 4:35 pm
Yes Hondo, kidding. But I do think his actual award should be one of those Code Pink vagina costumes for him to wear.
August 28th, 2012 at 8:04 pm
@41:
LOL. Thanks, now you owe me a keyboard….just thinking of the SOTL scene, the music, the prancing….ehhhhhh…I’ll never sleep again
August 29th, 2012 at 10:26 pm
Damm…I was riding the cock gobbler all the way down >_<
Had fun though…looking forward to next year!
August 30th, 2012 at 1:33 pm
Has anyone ever checked The Dildo’s educational claims?
Considering his character and behaviour to date, it could provide the Achilles Heel.
Call me crazy, but his educational track record and academic career path (as listed) is what I would call “unconventional”, especially with his current professional position.
September 1st, 2012 at 4:30 am
After serious reconsideration, a bunch of Coors Lights and a couple of Cohibas, I’ve determined that Dildoberto is the douchiest of the douchiest!?:o
September 11th, 2012 at 8:42 am
An idea for next year’s tourney: Diliberto gets an automatic bid for next year’s tournament to see if he can “hold the table,” so to speak. I quote atheletic performer and noted philosopher Rick Flare, “If ya wanna be The Man, ya gotta beat The Man.”
November 6th, 2012 at 10:53 am
Sorry to see that http://www.FakeWarriors.org has taken down their lists of Names per their website entry as of 31 Oct 2012.
January 1st, 2013 at 9:42 pm
[...] sure if he’s ridiculous enough to be a contender in This Ain’t Hell’s Ballduster McSoulpatch tournament, but he’s the first one of 2013, so he bears [...]
February 4th, 2013 at 4:23 pm
He does teach at the University of Birmingham in the UK – I’m in the department where he teaches. He promulgates his lies everywhere in the UK too!
February 4th, 2013 at 4:37 pm
Hannah: would you happen to have a good e-mail address and name for the department head you can share with us? He or she might be interested in seeing how Diliberto’s actual background matches up with his claims.
Then again, if he/she is like many in academia, he/she won’t give a damn.
