I'd laugh if it wasn't so completely pathetic.
A sampling of the email I've gotten today:
You are all "liberal lemmings"...following a pack as always with no real thought.---
IF YOU HAD ANY REAL WRITNG TALENT OR INSIGHT INTO INTERNATIONAL POLITICS YOU WOULD BE WRITNG FOR A REPUTABLE, UNBIASED, PUBLICATION... YOU SELF RIGHTEOS, CONCEITED BLOW HARD!
MOVE TO FRANCE, ANTI-BUSH, AMERICA HATER.

You really are a moron. People like you should be grouped together and sent to Iraq. You make me sick and your article reflects your ignorance. Go hug a tree and cry over Gore's loss. I'd like to see you do a better job as president you half-wit!
---
I wonder if a company has ever been "Dixie Chicked"?

You are slightly wrong Bush was not elected by a 5-4 vote he was elected by the electoral college, as all presidents are. People like you and sites like yours are dangerous.
I might post some of the ones that support me later. After I finish shaking my head.

I like your site! At least you post the replies and "insights" of the conservatives who try to shoot you down. It makes for interesting reading, and it gives me something to laugh about (all the hostility). :)
If you ever go to a conservative site, you might notice that there aren't any dissenting views posted. That is because the moderator's will go through and delete threads and ban people from posting - even if they didn't break any posting guidelines per se.
Thanks for a good site. I usually like to tell my conservative friends I didn't cry over Gore's loss, but over Bush's win.

I still love the "we oughta ship your asses to Iraq!" argument...ranks right up there with "You Commie!"
I thought Iraq was a free country now. Where's the insult? OH, Americans are getting killed in Iraq. I get it now...

Well I just happened upon your site thanks to the article written about the Google Search, I must say that was pretty clever. I'm a military wife and I have a brother in Iraq, and I find your comments hilarious!! At first I truly believed Bush was in Iraq to relinquish the country of its oil. After spending all this time watching the news, and watch Bush make a fool of himself over and over again, I am convinced. I find your posts a good read. Thank you for being blatant on political issues that the rest of America is too blind to see the truth about. Many of my associates are Bush supporters so after I send you this comment I may have to leave the country.

"no real thought" isn't that a little pot kettle black arguement

My retort to those who tell me to leave America: "It won't matter that I go. Bush will just come and liberate me. So, I'll just stay here. Thank you very much."

Lol, good points Missy and Darryl.
I think I am going to take all the hate mail I have been getting and turn it into a best selling book...
Nothing like hate mail to make you wish for spam...

Barry Crimmins has a similar retort to the "If you don't like it here, why don't you just leave" argument: "Because I don't want to be victimized by the U.S.'s foreign policy."

The problem is a lot of these people supported and voted for Bush, they believed the lies from the get go so they have a lot of their egos invested in it. If they were to think that Bush Co. were the lying sacks of shit we knew them to be from the get go it would be the same as saying "Gosh we were suckers!" so they have to hold on to the illusion to the bitter end. It's a bit like a battered woman defending her husband as the cops pull him off of her.

Hey, TechnoPeasant - they finally caught up with you, too, eh?
Ain't fame just peachy??

Haven't been here before, but I am definitely coming back. Take this as a pat on the back, and chin up. Those hate-mongers are in such a rut. There is nothing new or intelligently said, why bother looking at what is written once you see one or two key words--they have such limited vocabularies, you know. Distateful, but mostly b-o-r-r-r-r-r-i-n-g.

Uh, make that "distasteful." Preview is there to be used, for heaven's sake.
Posted by workin granny @ 12/08/2003 09:56 PM NY
I am disappointed. That last hate mail should have been sent to me!
I was the one who said he was elected by a 5-4 vote.
I guess I shouldn't be surprised that the freepers are to dumb to notice who said what.

Getting your blog blasted by knee-jerk rightwing types (with emphasis on the "jerk") is like being nominated for the Oscar for Best Picture. Hey, Blah3, better start preparing your acceptance speech (try to improve upon Michael Moore's remarks). Also, please don't forget to thank all those "little people" that made this award possible.

Retro,
I was wondering about that one.
Does that mean that my site isn't dangerous now?
Posted by editor @ 12/09/2003 11:49 AM NY
Wow, congratulations (I suppose? heh). My favorite is definitely the "lemmings with no real thought" one. I think someone is projecting....
Keep up the grat work, man. Looks like you're getting a ton of new readers, even some good ones!

RIGHTEOS? Is that some kind of conservative breaksfast cereal?

In the words of John Kerry, "fuck em".

Monkeyboy: it's true that the president is elected by the EC college. It's also true that Florida's 25 EC votes were awarded to Bush by a 5-4 vote of the Supreme Court in a decision so flawed that the SC said it could never be used as a precedent in any future case.
Do you get it now?
And you should be glad I didn't mention the thousands of illegally franchised minority voters or the illegal late ballots that were accepted in Repubican counties (and only Republican counties).
There's also the fact that in the only statewide recount conducted, the NORC recount, Gore won under all six scenarios for counting votes. It boils down to this: count the votes, and Gore wins. Don't count the votes, and Bush wins.
This means we've been living for the last three years with an illegitmate usurper rather than a democratically elected president. You conservadroid wannabe minutemen types are supposed to regard the prevention of such a thing from ever happening as a sacred duty, right? So why are you doing everything you can to enable it?

It's funny how all you morons will quote bits and pieces of the news to further your own goals. Do you really believe all the crap you spout?
