First: The hate-filled vitriol. “The Patriot Act will put both of you (Neuharth and Mitchell) on trial for treason and convict and execute both of you as traitors for running these stories in a time of war and it should be done on TV for other communist traitors like you two to know we mean business. This is war and you should be put in prison NOW for talking like this. Who the hell do you people think you are? You give aid and comfort to our enemies and aid them in murdering our proud soldiers. You people are a disgrace to America. Your families should be put in prison with you, then be made to leave and move to the Middle East ...This is a great Christian nation and god wants us to lead the world out of darkness with great leaders like President George W. Bush and Dick Cheney. Communists like Al and Greg will soon be in prison and on death row for your ugly papers. We won the election and now you are mad. We own America and all the rights, you people are trash, go back to Russia and Africa and take your friends with before we put you on death row after a fair trial.” And... the punchline: what instigated such asshattery. "Support Our Troops" is a wonderful patriotic slogan. But the best way to support troops thrust by unwise commanders in chief into ill-advised adventures like Vietnam and Iraq is to bring them home. Sooner rather than later. That should be our New Year's resolution. Pretty tame by most standards. I'm more likely to say that Iraq is a total fuck-up that is getting American soldiers killed for the political agenda of a spoiled rotten little brat that feels he has the right to be president because he was born with a silver spoon up his ass. Am I surprised that the hateful right wing talk radio and websites are bearing such fruit? Not at all. They have a job, to stir up racial and religious hatred for the sake of getting one party elected to office so that their funders can rake in the big bucks. The side effect is that we now have a bunch of white-boy christian jihadists running around threatening to send anyone that disagrees with Georgey W. Bush to jail, or to death. "Hey, it worked!" Go read the rest of the hate mail that this remark inspired. P.S. This is my country too. |
