For some reason, the editors of the Huffington Post invited me to write blog entries for their site. It's been a week since I began contributing stuff and the response has thankfully been positive, but what I'm enjoying the most are the occasional e-mails and comments from the hoopleheads and wingnuts.
The Huffington Post has a partnership with Yahoo News in which select "HuffPo" articles are distributed to viewers of all political persuasions on the Yahoo site. The best wingnut comments happen there. To wit:
In response to "War Bolsters Iraqi Chemical Weapon Industry" (Yahoo News here, Huffington Post here):
THIS NITWIT LIB admits WMDs excist!
What a GREAT Pro-Bush story this is. The auther says "blah,blah,blah......IRAQ has CHEMICAL WEAPONS manufacturing going on....blah,blah "
Nevermind that the article I referenced repeatedly discussed that the weapons appeared AFTER the invasion. More:
Re: THIS NITWIT LIB admits WMDs excist
He probably a GAY LIB ; much like that author of this queer Lib propaganda story.
In response to "Olbermann Out of Control -- With Sincerity" (Yahoo News here, Huffington Post here), I give you the moral values voter... who wishes cancer on someone:
Olbermann needs to go back to ESPN and keep his moronic opinions to himself. Denying food and water to a person who is not dying IS comparable to Axis war crimes. Why didn't Olbermann's family "just let him go to be at peace" when they found that tumor in his flapping jibs? Would have been a lot better for all of us if they had.
Here's my favorite comment of the week in response to "Chickenhawks Have An Army, Too" (Yahoo News here, Huffington Post here):
HEY BOOB, WHAT A CROCK OF SHIT, YOU GOT THE LIBERAL DICK UP YOUR ASS TOO, PROBABY MICHAEL MOORE'S, HOW BIG IS IT, IS IT REACHING YOUR BRAIN YET, WATCH OUT, IT MIGHT BECOME A HILLARY(TUMOR)! AND YAHOO PAYS YOU TO WRITE THIS BULLSHIT! OR DO YOU JUST WRITE IT SO PEOPLE LIKE ME CAN BASH YOU DAY IN AND DAY OUT! THIS IS PATHETIC, YAHOO NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THESE WRITERS AND STOP BEING SO FUCKING LEFT-WING UP IN HERE! PATHETIC PATHETIC, YOU WRITE THESE ARTICLES B/C PEOPLE LIKE ME GAVE YOU THE PRIVELAGE! YOU CONFUSE FREEDOM OF SPEECH TO FREEDOM TO BASH! GET THE LIBERAL DICK OUT OF YOUR ASS AND WRITE SOMETHING EQUAL!
Three things. 1) I'm not paid, 2) I haven't been called "Boob" since 2nd grade, and 3) I don't have a liberal dick in my ass.
Someone said to me that these blogs preach to the choir. Doesn't sound like it. More to come...
