Yesterday I posted this hilarious review of Sarah Palin's new book about the war on Christmas Good Tidings and Great Joy. The post was picked up by a Tea Party forum "Free Republic" and they were not happy. Apparently I'm "stupid, ignorant, dishonest and basically evil" and also have "the hair of a kewpie doll."
For 70+ comments, they proved they were smarter, more honest, more Godly, and possessing of better hair by calling me gay in as many ways as they could think of. "Fudgepacker" was fun because it reminded me of second grade, "pointy headed fag in need of dental work" has a nice ring to it, plus my two favorites "bitchy eunuch" and "limp-wristed sodomite" which are awesome because they're not even gay slurs from the last hundred years. They had to do some archaeology to find those well reasoned arguments.
They found some old head shots from my website and took issue with my teeth, my hair, the wrinkliness of my "fake work shirt" (?), and my similarity to Dilbert, which I honestly don't see.
Even more terrifying than homophobia from the 1200s and their wishing I was hotter are the signatures some of the commenters have. On the place where some people would write "PHD Candidate" or a quote from Ghandi, they have some of the most upsetting non-sequiturs I've ever seen. Matt1234 signs his comment with "Hitler blamed the Jews. Obama blames the Tea Party" a sentence that raises all kinds of questions about his understanding of the holocaust. Even worse, ConradofMontferrat signed his comment "According to mudslimz, my handle is a HATE CRIME. And I HOPE they don't like it." I... there's... nope. Never mind. I have no words.
They're not all bad. When they discovered I was on Portlandia, they had a cute discussion of the show and the merits of the brunch sketch versus stuff that happened in season 3. There was also some back-and-forth about my use of periods inside quotation marks. It isn't helpful since they're speaking dogmatically about an issue for style guides, but it was kinda fun to see them going after grammar mistakes with the same enthusiasm they attacked gays and Muslims. At least they're well rounded.
He sure thinks highly of him/herself.
He’s NOT limp wristed.
Just yer garden variety poofter.
Another self-obsessed leftie tries to play the mocker and intellectual superior of conservatives. Boringly unoriginal and unsuccessful.
So he spills venom and cries when it comes back.
Can’t take the heat stay out of the kitchen a-hole.
By the way his comments were nothing but liberal bias and unfit to read.
FR posts and discusses non-conservative articles, unlike DU, Crooks and Liars, or other left-wing so-called forums.
Read the “hilarious review”.
It’s not.
Self flattery.
Another symptom of “delusional liberalism”...
Maybe it was the inspid and sophomoric writing in the review that drove me from the thread, bored with more whining by the left.

He’s from portland. ‘Nuff said.
Thank God he informed me ahead of time that it was hilarious.
I might have missed it.
Another nobody who wouldn’t last ten minutes before
the zot.
Dear Alex Falcone,
I’d like to be the first to welcome you to Free Republic!
Since you’re obviously cruising the site to see what we have to say about you then don’t let it be said that we’re intolerant of preening narcissists who can’t quite get a grasp of simple facts like who ran for President in 2008.
Oh, and because we’re all so gracious and polite we’d also like to invite you to kiss our ass.
Love, Megan
Gee, I hate missing out on being on another list .... Sign me up alex falcone (small letters for a small mind)
Who cares? :)
The smug, snarky, progressive routine has become pedestrian.
And if you're the kind of person who says "Yesterday I posted this hilarious review ..." you're pretty much asking for abuse ...
But see, comments here don't go unnoticed.
Look for others online to pick up the most obnoxious comments and use them to discredit the site.
don’t sweat it JRandom. We just made another list.
Is hilarious a word meaning silly, childish, uninformed and stupid??? Because I’m certain it can’t mean anything like funny or humorous.
