See my comment. Didn't know how else to contact you.

[Behind Liberal Lines]

Following is a pm I received:

From the south lost | 05/22/2004 1:47:30 AM PDT read

Hi, girls! You know, normally I’ll just pass right by the usual un-informed, over-opinionated crap so many of you are foisting off on this forum while googling my way to Faux News. But when the unmistakable aroma of fresh bullshit came whiffing out yet again, on this kind of subject, and with 268 posts to boot, I just couldn’t help myself! Pretty interesting that so many of you “well- mannered” bigots with your civility and decorum have been so good about getting your teeth kicked in by the “commie left” and “getting mocked for it” for thirty years. Funny, because, with all you shit flumes in here spewing off venom on a daily basis, you’re argument’s not looking too watertight.

On the speaker, set aside, for a moment, the fact that the guy is right. What’s really interesting here is that you dopes are ready to bash Ted Sorensen, major figure in saving us from nuclear war, yet so many of you put “President” (we won’t even go there) Bush, a guy that plunged us into war completely un-necessarily and under false pretense, up on a pedestal. Sorensen is a proven architect for peace. He was critical of Bush for starting this stupid, worthless war without allied support, among other things, and was entirely appropriate in his criticism. Witness this in contrast to your tough-talking, rarely right but always certain, cowboy Bush and his “dream team”– whom it’s now abundantly clear was hell-bent on our “crusade” from the very beginning. And who, other than the likes of Halliburton and the Al-Qaeda recruitment department, benefits from that? It sure as hell won’t be those graduates. And you can bet it won’t be you Mensa mega-geniuses, either.

Yup, Ted might’ve picked a better venue. But he didn’t. And you’re right…it’s all part of the evil “lib” conspiracy that’s growing, festering, lurking - waiting to prey upon your young and dominate the discourse even more than it already does. (Right…and I’ve *never* seen *that* lame argument floating around these pages.) You mob starter/egg-throwers that are ready to “drag him out on the carpet” couldn’t fill one of Sorensen’s shoes. And the thrill of dissecting your “points” ranks right up there with burning up ants with a magnifying glass at age five. The ants were more coherent, at least.

On to that “liberal” media bias you guys keep talking about on this forum. Let see: O’Really, Limbaugh, Hannity, Drudge, Matthews, Horowitz, Ingraham, Goldberg, Liddy, Roberts, Novak, North, Robertson, Fallwell and on, and on, and on. Man, what a bunch of *flaming* liberals! Hey now - and let’s not forget everybody’s favorite - Anne Coulter, slightly left of the Third Reich. Never mind radio and the press for a minute, ladies. This here’s just mainstream TV and, boy, this crowd must sure enjoy the view from Bush’s colon, because the coverage they’ve been dishing out borders on fellatio. Only now, when the obvious is so obvious that even your liberal media can no longer ignore it, do you see normal people finally calling some of it like it is. (Yup, more “lib” conspiracy there, too.) Your “liberal bias” is a farce that’s been around since the early seventies and the hard right is not only way over-funded and over-represented; it actually has the temerity to whine non-stop about the whole deal, as if the shoe were on the other foot! Disagree? Then explain to me why Clinton, deserving or not, was crucified by the press every time the guy farted yet Bush and Cheney, who make Clinton look positively Amish, have skated through more conflict of interest and scandal than the Enquirer has ink to print for, comparatively unscathed. This doesn’t even touch on the fact that Clinton was basically beheaded for lying about a blow job – probably not a bad thing – but yet, Bush and Cheney, whose lies have now killed 800 people, are “formidable” leaders. Blame that on your “liberal bias”, ladies. And, with that, I’d love to see just one of you distinguished, “conservative” scholars come up with half an argument or a list of any number of people that offsets the market share enjoyed by the “lib” crowd listed above. I *know* you can’t and I *want* you to try.

And to whomever called JFK a gutless, worthless coward: Hey, maybe you’re right! Then again, JFK would have gotten his history straight before signing on as “AlbionGirl”, like a homo, and then writing English like it’s a fourth language.

Oh, and to close, whoever threw up that little gif of Ted Kennedy, the skull and crossbones and the patriotic eagle – nice job! There’s nothing like pointing out the shortcomings of one idiot from 36 years ago to make your lame ideological point against millions of actually thinking people today. Yeah, that totally drives your point home and I submit.

Torqued off, girls? You should be. After reading some of the radical garbage floating around here, I certainly am. And I’m not even a Democrat.

Don’t like it? Humor me…I need a good laugh.

Al Franken flameme@post.com

[Tijeras_Slim]

My guess is that Mark Morford is trying to get Al Franken FReeped. :)

[veronica]

I got it too. ROFL.

[McGruff]

Check out this PM I got:

I curious, how did you get this? Through freepmail or some external method?

[Just mythoughts]

There is not enough of a mind represented in this babel to respond. "Not a democrat", didn't say he wasn't a commie.

[Socratic]

"Someone's upset that Err America is cratering."

Oh, how fear so easily transforms itself into anger, blame and vilification! Should a prayer vigil be held for one so oppressed by negative emotions? Naa, let reason and logic prevail. Move on. Move on.

[Fighting Irish]

Grease up the paddles again doctor, crank it to 10......he's still alive!

[JoeSixPack1]

Wow, with all the "turd in a punchbowl" rhetoric, I thought I had caught a missing talking point. But, there it was in the penultimate sentence -

And I’m not even a Democrat.

<|:-)~~

[Admin Moderator]

Ejected a little earlier today.

For future reference, best way to contact mods is filing an abuse report. In a case like this, you can do it on any thread: just specify at the beginning that it's not related to anything on that thread, but freepmail spam (or whatever may need attention).

Thanks.

[RightOnline]

This moron isn't worth responding to. Gum on the sole of my shoe on a hot day.

[IncPen]

Liberal media? I guess this guy missed the last 70 years of ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS, The New York Times, Washington Post, and on and on, ad nauseum. There's a small crack in their stranglehold on the information media in this country and they're hysterical about it.

Which, of course, begs the question: What are they afraid of?

If their ideas are so great, can't they stand up to the likes of an idiot like Limbaugh?

[Socratic]

"And to whomever called JFK a gutless... and then writing English like it’s a fourth language."

To the author: If "whomever" is the object of a preposition then it is, indeed, proper to use "whomever." But, as in your case, "whomever" is the subject of the dependent clause (which is itself the object of the preposition). Then, "whoever" is correct. Any questions?

[Bluntpoint]

This guy suffers from chronic rectal tearing.

[LadyShallott]

I pledge on this Memorial Day weekend we have a liberal "cook-off" lets see who can nail them and BBQ them first. :)

[Socratic]

I would call that, "A Modest Proposal." Forgive me Mr. Golding.

[Erik Latranyi]

This type of ranting goes unquestioned on DU and DKickA** every single day.

These people actually believe, in the depths of their soul, that the media is too right-wing (we can't get our message out) and that Bush is as close to evil as Hitler (the MoveOn morph ad).

What we are seeing here, folks, is the fight for the soul of the Democrat Party. The extreme socialist, environmental wing want to be in charge after staying silent and supporting Carter, Clinton, Dukakis, Mondale, etc.

Dean was their closest chance at legitimacy and control.

To this crowd, Kerry is just another "moderate" Democrat that panders to their ideas, but will never go out on a limb to enact their agenda. That is why you see such lukewarm support for Kerry since the primaries were wrapped up.

Give these people control of the Democrat Party and it will surely go the way of the Whigs.

[Elsie]

Give these people control of the Democrat Party...

Don't they HAVE it now??

[tacticalogic]

I pledge on this Memorial Day weekend we have a liberal "cook-off" lets see who can nail them and BBQ them first. :)

You'll need a good hot fire and a piece of pork to get them done evenly. No matter how you arrange them on the grill they'll keep ending up in a pile over on the left side. If you put some pork over on the right side, they'll move all the way over there to get close to it, and all you have to do is keep moving it around.

[WinOne4TheGipper]

O’Really, Limbaugh, Hannity, Drudge, Matthews, Horowitz, Ingraham, Goldberg, Liddy, Roberts, Novak, North, Robertson, Fallwell and on, and on, and on

You might tell your little troll that all of these people are what is called commentators. They're supposed to give their opinion on the news. Reporters and news anchors aren't supposed to give their opinion, yet that doesn't stop them at ABCNNBCBS.

[solo gringo]

I got the same garbage Also.

[apackof2]

He seems to have a unnatural interest in bodily functions and school boy fantasy sex

[Erik Latranyi]

Give these people control of the Democrat Party...

Don't they HAVE it now??

No, they do not have a candidate that will enact their agenda. Kerry is too weak-kneed to stand up for something.

As I said, Dean was their best hope and they are mad about what happened to him.

[LadyShallott]

Thank you for the cooking tips. I was wondering why the slant occured on my BBQ. Now I know. LOL

[veronica]

And if this moron had actually looked at my profile page, he or she would have seen that I actually quote a line from JFK's brilliant inaugural speech, which no doubt was written or tweaked by Ted Sorenson.

That however has nothing to do with Sorenson using a commencement address as a DNC-sponsored Bush-bashing fest.

[Erik Latranyi]

That however has nothing to do with Sorenson using a commencement address as a DNC-sponsored Bush-bashing fest.

You have been found guilty by association and for the audacity to question true liberal authority.

[fortunecookie]

Ping!

[earonthief]

This guy's Depends are to tight around his head.

[rageaholic]

Funny, a guy who's punctuation is this bad

you’re argument’s not looking too watertight

has the nerve to accuse somebody else of

writing English like it’s a fourth language.

Another hypocrite who can't be taken seriously.

[Americanwolf]

is there a cure for that???? oh... got the point, but that is a crappy (no pun intended) visual or thought even for a sat morn.

[section9]

One of the things that they do in the Valley of the F*#ktards is to scream that there is No Liberal Media. The assweasel who wrote this really wants us to believe that liberals do not control the content of CBS, ABC, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, the Washington Post, the New York Times, or the Los Angeles Times. Now they actually know that the opposite is the case, but one must remember that to a liberal, assertion is as good as fact.

His adulation of Theodore Sorensen is misplaced. Sorensen didn't save the world, Kennedy did. Sorensen was a hack who came up with good speech lines, enough of them to keep him in good stead as one of Jack and Bobby's paid errand boys. People only listen to him for the same reason they listen to that washed up old has-been Arthur Schlesinger: he was associated with Prince John of Camelot, so it rubs off.

The rest of this is standard Bush and Conservative bashing, and really contains very little argument to write home about. If this is actually Franken, I'm not surprised. Apparently, the acme of his skill is demonstrated by a surprising tendency to yell "F*#k You, Wolfowitz!" at Paul Wolfowitz at Washington gatherings.

Which just goes to show you that even swine are attracted to pearls.

Be Seeing You,

Chris

Let see: O’Really, Limbaugh, Hannity, Drudge, Matthews, Horowitz, Ingraham, Goldberg, Liddy, Roberts, Novak, North, Robertson, Fallwell and on, and on, and on. Man, what a bunch of *flaming* liberals!

You point to a few individuals. We can point to whole organizations. Time, Newsweek, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, The Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, the Washington Post, Knight-Ridder, yup, a real bunch of *Reagan Conservatives* if I ever saw them.

Clinton got a pass on everything he did. The pattern was to ignore the serious stuff that he did like sleazy dealings with avowed enemies like North Korea and China, briefly puff up minor things that he did and then dismiss them as mere 'conservative politics', thus neutralizing any criticism from the Right. The media ran interference for Clinton, and you know it.

The Lewinsky thing wasn't even on my radar screen. Never mind that a partner in any corporation that I have worked for would have been cleaning out his desk before the day was over if he was caught boffing an intern. That whole thing was unpresidential and diminished the credibility of the office.

Clinton was, and continues to be a presidential Al Capone. If we have to go after him for income tax evasion, that's what we do. Personally, I think that the Republican leadership could have picked a better issue to nail him on, like transfer of nuclear weapons technology to a country that would love to be powerful enough to directly threaten us globally, in exchange for campaign contributions.

This would be funny - if it wasn't such an accurate portrayal of the left....and just how depraved and plagued with hallucinations they are....

The Kool-Aid must be mixed extra strong....

[clyde260]

"This guy suffers from chronic rectal tearing."

You managed to say it all in one clear, concise sentence. Thank you, I needed that!!

[Erik Latranyi]

The assweasel who wrote this really wants us to believe that liberals do not control the content of CBS, ABC, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, the Washington Post, the New York Times, or the Los Angeles Times.

Actually, to these people, CBS, ABC, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, the Washington Post, the New York Times and the Los Angleles Times does not represent their views because these people are politically to the left of those institutions.

These are the people who protest in the streets against capitalism.

These are the people who see conspiracy theories everywhere in the Bush Administration.

These are the people who believe a reduction in the number of conservatives would lead to cleaner water, greener grass and clearer skies.

[TheBattman]

It's all those gerbils he's going through from the local pet shop - he is, after all their best customer......

[Petronski]

I don't know which would be more pathetic:

(a) some loser pretending to be Franken, or

(b) Franken himself taking the time to send this little steaming surprise.


"Oh, just wait til we get liberal talk radio, you'll see!" LOL

[RightOnTheLeftCoast]

Now I'm really ticked. After an avalanche of abuse mail to my AOL account a decade ago, I created a new screen-name there, FlameMe@aol.com, which I used until I fled AOL.

Now that arse-aperture Franken has gone and stolen my address! "Flameme@post.com" indeed.

Dang, that chaps my hide.

[Riley]

"Oh, just wait til we get liberal talk radio, you'll see!" LOL

I'm sure they're working up an elaborate conspiracy theory that explains Err America's demise, which nowhere mentions that nobody listened to it.

[N. Theknow]

This moron isn't worth responding to. Gum on the sole of my shoe on a hot day.

You misspelled dog$hit.

[Nataku X]

Goldberg

Goldberg is the quinessential American moderate. He lines out his politics clearly in his book, and I remember that the only firmly "conservative" position he held was that he was against affirmative action. He just had the temerity to realize that the non-drug-addicted, down-on-luck homeless white family, in fact, does not exist for the most part. That's reality, not politics.

If you think that he, or Chris Matthews, are conservatives, you need help.

And I need help for wasting my time to respond to such a steaming screed when I could be doing something more productive, like playing video games.

[DocRock]

"but yet, Bush and Cheney, whose lies have now killed 800 people"

Only 800? I thought by now, they were surely responsible for millions of dead people according to their liberal, fuzzy math.

[musicman]

OK....I'll take "Al Franken's Head, Barrett M82A1M , SASR,
.50BMG", @1000 yards.....sorry...I mean for $1000, Alex !!

He's vapor. A possible glitch might have caused his account to appear active.

Thanks for the heads-up.

[dighton]

... some loser pretending to be Franken ...

Surely the Mariana Trench of loserdom.

[Fenris6]

Guys, this is what happens when liberals come here to do opposition research. They live in an echo chamber. They're not used to having their "religion" questioned. Such Blashphemy! :)

Naturally, they can't help but reflexively regurgitate the same tired mantra they've been progammed with. Pity them... just a little.
