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.

I’m going, dude, you write for an indie weekly in Portland.
There are only 4 comments at the site, but THEY are humorous.
Falcone is not telling the truth!
I did NOT call him a limp-wristed sodomite! I asked if he was one, and suggested that he writes like one. Alex Falcone had the opportunity to deny being a limp-wristed sodomite, and as failed to take that opportunity. We may all draw from this whatever conclusions seem appropriate.
Me?
I take it as his admission of guilt ...
He's a legend in his own mind
Hey, he got 4 replies so he must be smart!
It does, doesn't it? And I take full credit. :)
I’m glad he read my rant - interesting he was unable to defend his stupidity and ignorance.
Down goes falcone! Down goes falcone! Down goes falcone
KO for GilesB!!!
Better be careful messing with this guy. He says he’s an internet celebrity.
Damned, he didn’t mention me.
My, my, how the guilty squeal.
Grow up. No need to be offended by those who disagree.
Sounds like Alex is hungry for attention and publicity. Perhaps his little teapot might hold a tempest if he squeals loudly about those meanies on FR.
That's okay. I hear he's updated his picture ...
He is narcissistic but only to the mean for leftists. Apparently he thinks calling him Dilbert was a comment wishing he was hotter. lolz. That was a pretty good one I admit.
It is too bad that he could not surrender his hate long enough to actually write a real review of the book.
So Alex is light in the loafers AND ignorant, as “fudge packer” is reference to the South Park classic, not his second grade bed wetting.
Another liberal nobody who is very aware that simply the mention of Sarah, no matter what the context, will get him a minute and a half of fame. On the other hand, and extended article slamming Free Republic will get him a mile and a half of flame. Both tries at garnering a reading are painfully transparent.
Come on in, petunia. You want to match wits with us? Bring it.
I doubt if Sarah Palin could care less about what this Alex dude, whoever he is, thinks about her Christmas book.
The book sold out at many of her book signings, and she is laughing all the way to the bank. More power to her.....the more money she makes, the more she pi$$es off the liberals.
It’s a he, I’m pretty sure, so he is not interested in kissing Uranus... if ya know what I mean. lol.
I have no idea if he’s gay it’s just a joke.
