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.
The woman is a true believer in CHRIST. She walks in the path that HE laid before her. She is one of GOD’s people and demons attack her and hate her... just as satan compels them to do. When you see someone with Palin Distress Syndrome... they are evil intent.
You’re still a dick, Falcone.
We precede the tea party Mr analinguist
And we have homosexual defenders here
Many of the south bashers here are in love with queer nation
Maybe members
Great Ceasars Ghost!
That guy makes Liberace look macho
Fedgov needs to stop hiring flaming fags to write their propaganda
I browsed his blog. He had tons of articles about planning his recent wedding. That you MUST do the cake tasting, have lots of mason jars(?), you don’t need to spring for the extra seat covers on the chairs...all sorts of details that I (as a guy) had NO clue about when I got married. (4 pm? got it. Open bar at the reception? Check.)
In one article he thought he might invite one of his readers to the wedding. But to enter the contest one had to send him a photo of one’s butt.(!?)
Never did talk about his fiance being a woman or a man. Odd. I would expect lots of good humor regarding the different viewpoints regarding planning a wedding.
If he had married a gal I would have expected things like “She thought the red napkins were cool, but I preferred the mauve as it provided a subtle and delicate balance to the floral arrangement.”
“Wasn’t traumatized...”
Well, he has had 15+ years to learn how to deal with it.
From the article:
“’Fudgepacker’ was fun because it reminded me of second grade.”
I’m a woman and have no idea WTH he’s rambling on about.
In my experience, guys usually manage one duty in wedding planning.
They remember to show up for the big day.
:)
Was that you? Congrats! I wasn’t quoted.
He also has no idea who or what Free Republic is.
I’m honored to have gotten the pointy-headed fag’s attention. :P
Alex is quite ignorant, and self-satisfied about it.
His comment about the tagline “Hitler blamed the Jews; Obama blames the Tea Party” indicating that Matt1234 misunderstands the Holocaust is particularly disturbing. What part of foreshadowing is the “author” unfamiliar with. Perhaps he could google the word “omen”.
As well you should! I thought my comment “Dentists are our friends,” was worth a quote, but, alas, no!
The only part of his 'hilarious review' that's hilarious is ... 
... this part.
For what it’s worth, I liked it! You can bet the poofter saw it, too.
If that's moderately attractive, I am a greek god.
I have no idea who this pathetic whiner is.
Thank you. When I wrote that tagline a few months ago, it was during the heat of the "budget" conflict (not truly a budget but the so-called "fiscal cliff"). obama and prominent dems were calling the tea party terrorists, hostage takers, arsonsists, bombers, murderers, etc. Much of the name calling was explict, some implicit, and it's all in the public record. This was a deliberate, coordinated action ominously similar to the way the Nazis slandered the Jews. And we all know how that turned out.
I hope you are reading this, Mr. Portlandia.
Thanks, I appreciate it, lol!
