A Tea Party Forum Called Me Limp-Wristed For Not Liking Sarah Palin's Book (That'd be us)
The Portland Mercury ^ | December 18, 2013 | Alex Falcone

Posted on 12/18/2013 2:10:22 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

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.

Wow, this sad little twerp is really pleased with himself, for no reason that I can easily discern.

It's ok for him to knock Palin, but becomes a multi-culti “victim” when abused in similar fashion on FR.

Typical Portland hipster douche.

If 0-Cares does a series of “pajamaboy” ads, I think lil’ Alex would make a really swell spokesmodel.

How is calling a homo a homo a fear of homos?

That pretty much sums it up.

This little punk is taking a break from begging to be anally penetrated and fisted by a weird collection of disease infected perverts to try to get attention from real, patriotic Americans.

What a pathetic little punk.

This guy is supposed to be a comedian? I’ve seen funnier writing in the ingredients list on a soup can.
Alex: the employment agency called. They have a job for you as a sleep aid.

What is it about her -- and not some SNL clown pretending to be her -- that makes people totally nuts?

The entire Left is afraid of her. Some if not most would like to see great harm come to her. Example:

Don Imus show Imus behind the scenes the quote may be erased by now. This is a daily log written by his staff about the show and other things.

7:15:18 – The Boss reacts to Sarah Palin’s speech at the Billy Graham Birthday Celebration: “Is there any way that she could be put to sleep? If they put a bunch of scientist together to assemble the dumbest person in the world…they couldn’t make one more stupid than her.” An uncharacteristically measured response from the I-Man.

I recall that it was Friday November 8, 2013 show.

"Ah.. it's just Imus being Imus," some hoped.

No. It was a gut reaction. I heard it. The mere sound of her voice set him off. The crew did not react with humorous comments -- they would normally joke about putting him to sleep if was "just Imus being Imus". Imus has hated her since McCain introduced her.. it's the NYC elites' thing to do.

I’d tell him not to give up his day job, but that probably writing personals ads for this indie rag...

This is a Tea Party forum?

Dear Alex Falcone,
we were here BEFORE there WAS a Tea Party.
A few more years and we would have been here
before you were hatched.

Next time try to spell my name correctly, it’s TET68.
But you wouldn’t know about that, it was before your time.

“What do you want to bet that Alex has never written a book...”

I bet that Alex has never read a book.
