Stuart Ackerman of The New Republic is Upset With Me

BLAH BLAH BLAH!! Iraq passed a crucial test, and you have nothing good to say about it. You seem to have no problem whatsoever highlighting the negative (early and often) so why not give a few column inches to this amazing success and the peaceful political transition it is formenting? Because you can't. You see Stuart, you want Iraq to fail. Much like Ted Kennedy and that loser John Kerry, you can't see past your own selfish interests to see a new day dawning in Iraq. You look forward to the next car bombing or political setback to reinforce your 'hell in a handbasket' view of the complete Iraq experience. You are biased and most probably a bedwetter. Get the hell out of the way and let the damn country have a moment's peace will you?

F#$* you. Don't you ever say, imply, or suggest that I want Iraq to fail. Every word I write and every hyperlink I post is devoted to the *success* of a democratic and pluralistic Iraq. As you might have noticed, that s#&$ is really f*#@ing complicated. Figuring it out requires information--not cheerleading.

I sometimes visit The New Republic Web site. On it, there is a 'gentleman' named Stuart Ackerman, who hosts a Blog called Iraq'd. I get so sick of how he constantly portrays everything we do in Iraq in a negative light. So after his latest entry, I had to write him. My entry and his reply is above. I'm glad I got under his skin...

A smart columnist - a smart anything - never replies to hate mail (no slur at you, s_r) because it encourages the writers. I have no idea who Stuart Ackerman is, but now I know he can be baited. If he ever becomes a person of relevance, that'll be handy to know.

Until that response, I bet you didn't know how much of a fascist you really are. It's easy to see you need a trip to Tolerance University.

:) Denote sarcasm.

Perhaps the Ack Man wants to say all this negative stuff himself without anyone else's help, much less ours.

If so, Ack Man, go 'head, make our day!

You caught him with his **** in his hand and he doesn't like it. His response indicates that. Great job.

"You are biased and most probably a bedwetter."

It's fine to call Ackerman on his bias, but your bile went to far.

Interesting that the 'rats are raising the level of their discourse.

It's the new upfront and personal approach inspired by their new leader: "I hate Republicans".

It's the kind of guttersnipe language that fires-up Deaniacs and DUmmies.

You are a person of relevance simply because you can, among other things, think dispassionately, unlike that "f*#@ing" Ackerman.

I agree about that, anyway. I hate when people try pigeon-holing (often insulting) and guessing at others based on unrelated issues.
