I know many of you are angry at the advertisers who pulled out of the site, as well as Kerry for pulling the dKos link. Seriously, don't sweat that. Everyone has to make decisions based on their local circumstances, and if they feel being associated with this site harms them, then I have no bad feelings.

That was it. Oh, they're doing their best to turn me into the devil, and they're making racist comments about my heritage and family and threatening to kick my ass -- you know, typical right-wing shit.
But if that's the best they can throw at me, I'll simply echo Kerry.
Bring it on.
