Podhoretz was trying to defend FR, but he did not have to post one of these seminar troll e-mails.

knuckle-draggers??

Sounds like something from the DU

[Suzy Quzy]

There are more SMART people here at FR than anywhere!! I have requested very obscure things and within minutes, have gotten the answers WITH links!!! Thank you fellow freepers....proud to be amongst you!!

some of the knuckle-draggers posting at www.freerepublic.com

I just checked and my knuckles still don't hang below my knees, let alone drag. Must be self-projection.

Podhoretz did a very poor job of defending FR.

The least he could've done was format his post. ;-)

[geezerwheezer]

I was going to send this in sooner, but there was too much blood on my keyboard from my bleeding knuckles. I accidently hit a liberal in his nose and broke his finger, then scrapped my knuckles on his teeth while trying to help him get up.

A reader e-mails: "John, I'm as conservative as they come..."

[Jonah Hex]

Hmmm... I just checked my hands and neither my knuckles drag or my palms are hairy. This contrasts with posters at D.U. ...

knuckle-draggers ?

better that than one's belly or rear end

[thoughtomator]

knuckledragger would be a cool screen name

[darkangel82]

"I'm as conservative as they come"= "I'm a lifelong Republican, but..."

[NeoCaveman]

Who cares what the chardonnay Republican media elites think?

[rogue yam]

Podhoretz was trying to defend FR

Podhoretz posted a gratuitous and unsubstantiated slam on FR because he is no friend of FR. He got called on it and so he posted an update containing someone else's lame defense of FR. "JPod" blows.

Any email that starts off like that isn't from any Conservative...My fave is start is "As a life long republican"

[skaterboy]

The email was signed Andrew Sullivan

[bray]

He should know the proper form is, I voted for Bush two times but,.....

Knuckledragger is a complete giveaway.

I'm surprised he doesn't know about DU.

[tcostell]

Personally I think JPOD is offensive. Not because of his political views which by and large I agree with, but because of his snarky and nasty personality.

I know liberals who are wrong headed but who consistently argue politely and in good faith. I respect manners, and so I try to correct the liberals in question without insulting them or treating them like I think they are dirt. But if you disagree with JPOD he's as likely to call you an idiot and treat you as something he's scraped off his shoe as anything else. The other option of course would be for him to explain to you some detail that you were unaware of... these usually amount to something like "Well President Bush's father was president BEFORE him you know." or some other little piece of condescension.

Until recently I've been a BIG fan of NRO, and the people there. Jonah Goldberg will continue to be an increasingly important voice in conservative politics in America, and John Derbyshire cracks me up. The other contributors to NR vary from great to transcendent, but I've sworn off of the corner specifically because of JPod's tone.

As I said in an email to them, "you throw a great party, but when the guests start throwing drinks in my face it's time for me to leave."

I know I'm just one redneck, knuckle dragger and won't matter much, but I can't be the only one who was so offended by him. Or to say it in a tone more in keeping with what he's apparently accustomed, F!@@#! him..

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

He's just jealous 'cause us knuckle draggers get all the bitchin' hot chicks. Quiche eaters need chardonnay to get the fat fugly ones drunk enough to take advantage of.
