The following is a response I received from Eric Alterman of MSNBC.com regarding a thread that got pulled recently which bashed the president. Maybe some of you will want to respond to Mr. Alterman.

I asked: Why not ask me or all my friends and family and all the members of Free Republic.com for our opinions?

His reply: because my guess is you're all idiots, but thanks

[oust the louse]

What exactly or inexactly did Eric Altmen do?....

[Fred Mertz]

Isn't this the guy that is obsessed with FR?

[thatsnotnice]

For some reason his name sounds familiar. I think he might be the one that wrote a book saying that the media isn’t biased or something along those lines. If so, he was on a local station being interviewed and hawking his book several weeks ago. I got the impression that he’s a loudmouth, if it’s the same person.

Not surprising from a liberal

[chance33_98]

I'd bash him but I would rather he came on here to debate - problem is he probably scared and like a cockroach he will flee when the light of truth comes on.

Alterman needs a new gynecologist.

Well, if he wasn't he sure is now. I fired off comments about how I felt about his liberal BS, and his saviour, Bill Clinton among other things. I tried to send a reply to his e-mail, but it came back as undeliverable.

Learn all about Eric Alterman here

He's an effing moron!

[Argus]

I sent Alterman the following e-mail:

Dear Eric: Have you ever actually been right about anything? Please cite examples.

[joesnuffy]

Flash Back to ....1776 whose side would these a holes be on?
or 1941...who would they be defending in their rags?.....
If George Washington or even the ACLUs delight (of course they lie about him) Thomas Jefferson were president..
Imagine the outrage...from hollywood or the media (of course the filth they spew if GW were president they would all be hanging from trees or on ships to some distant land where they could live as the academically indolent monkeys they are)

[stanz]

He'll never go where he's outnumbered.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Is he the guy who goes to a proctologist to get his hearing checked? Never heard of him.

Here's the text from the article that was nuked.

A NEW WORLD? I PREFER THE OLD ONE

       When George Bush took office in January 2001, he did not have majority support of the nation or the legitimacy of a genuine winner, but he did have a nation at relative peace, a budget in surplus, a Dow Jones Industrial Average that was approximately 30 percent higher than it is today, a nation with most of our civil liberties intact and the good opinion of much of the world, particularly our NATO allies. That America is gone forever now. And while much of the changes that ensued can be laid at the feet of Al-Qaeda and the attacks of 9/11, a great many of them are merely the result of the Bush Administration’s unconscionable but successful exploitation of that tragedy.
       
       We are now about to enter a world in which the values we practice are pre-emptive war, fiscal indiscipline, domestic theocracy and the good opinion of human kind be damned. Since 9/11, Bush and company have done almost everything possible to alienate the world and inspire more terrorists to hate us, despite the initial wellspring of sympathy and solidarity the attacks inspired worldwide. Meanwhile, for all its collective bluster, the Bush crowd has done almost nothing to protect the nation from the entirely predictable consequences of their folly and the hatred we have engendered across the Islamic and Arab worlds. (Read this incredible TNR story on homeland security by Jonathan Chait if you doubt my word.)
       
       All I can say at this deeply depressing moment in our history is that may Providence have mercy on our nation and those who are about to become the victims of our misguided crusade, and may its beneficiaries in Iraq make the most of it.

LOL!!

[Dialup Llama]

Eric wrote that nasty column about Ann Coulter because she looks better in a dress than he does.

[billhilly]

Eric Alterman is the writer, and Clinton supporter who appeared on cable shows defending him for eight years. He looks as though a ton of Tide could not make him clean.

[OldFriend]

Poor Ms. Alterman, ought to seek help at the soonest possible moment.

This is what I just got back from Alterman:

"I'm right that you're spam."

Delighted by this witty riposte, I e-mailed back:

"Is that you or the Alterrobot Insultomatic?"

I'm waiting for the next installment of my sparkling debate with young Eric.
