Hate Mailbag
March 12, 2003

If there's one piece of hate mail that comes up again and again, it's the one asking why we don't respond with facts to the cretins who write telling us to fuck off. "I read your hate mail and I notice you did not respond to any of the authors with FACTS." Uh, really. Well for those of you who are disappointed that we don't respond to threats and insults with facts, you're colossal dickheads. Note: these emails have not been edited in ANY WAY, except to preserve the anonymity of the sender.

Subject: Move

People like you need to move out of the country. The reason that Sept. 11th happened in the first place was because the Clinton era gave birth to the era of "do nothing and nothing will happen to you". This also happened before WWII when many like yourselves criticized those in the government who were suspicious of Hitler and gave him many more years to have free reign. Leftwing tree huggers have been putting this country into the toilet for years. You could have a video tape in your hands right now that has Usama and Saddam talking about their plans in detail and you would still find things to criticize. If you really think that the Iraq situation is a "republican" thing and that doing nothing to Saddam is the best advice then I can only assume that this site is run by 12 year olds. You have wanted Bush to fail since day one, it wouldn't matter what he did, you would complain because that is what Democrats do.

-Leo

DU RESPONDS: You got us, Leo. Great Republican leaders like Orrin Hatch and Trent Lott really wanted us to crack down on terrorism, but that rotten Bill Clinton was too busy doing nothing. You know what else, I heard the other day that Clinton's mighty penis caused the Space Shuttle disaster (pass that along to your buddies if you have any).

I'm torn between being amused by you chattering idiots and saddened by your ignorance.

Nowhere on this site do you present logical arguments to support your beliefs. You are vulgar, obnoxious, and misinformed. You make decisions based on your feelings and initial reactions. You are whiners. You are close minded and intolerant.

As a human being, I pity your bitterness and stupidity. As an Independent, I giggle at the prospect of watching you get squished by conservatives who know why they believe what they do, even if they're wrong.

Zots all around,

DU RESPONDS: Gawd, if there's one thing worse than Republicans it's "Independents." Come on, you're nothing but a Republican who thinks that the Independent label makes you look smarter! Just admit it! You'll feel so much better about yourself!

Aristotle, considered by many to be one of the greatest thinkers ever, believed democracy was one of the lowest forms of government. I tend to agree, especially when I read the ridiculous BS that is on your RETARDED web site. One day I hope the good people of the U.S. round up assholes like you and put them in front of a firing squad.

DU RESPONDS: And Aristotle believed that the HIGHEST form of government was monarchy, followed by aristocracy, you twit. Is that the country you want to live in? Royal America, where the divinely-chosen King has the power to round people up and shoot them? That unpleasant sound I hear must be the Founding Fathers puking in their graves.

Greetings DU! While visiting your highly informative website I saw the portal to "hate mail" and decided THAT was where I should address this to. Being a kind hearted type, I'd like to say I hate you all in the kindest and nicest way I can, and sincerely hope none of you suffer much when you kill yourselves. Hopefully soon.

OH, one thing. Please think of the rest of us and refrain from muddying up the gene pool before you go will you?. Thanks. I'd love to talk more, but I have to go now. Bye Bye. Hate all of you. Don't forget to die soon! Don't delay, kill yourselves tonight and do the world a favor! Do it for the children! Bye Bye. Wishing you all a short and happy life. Really wish I had more time. TTFN!

DU RESPONDS: As I already mentioned, the Admins of this site are actually immortal. But I also forgot to mention that we have three hundred and fifty eight children between us, and they're all on welfare. Sorry about that!

Subject: Frequent Liar Miles

Your article "frequent liar miles" made me laugh. Most of the article is spent assuring us that Bush is a liar because the author of the artcle says so. Then, the author pulls out Bush's drunk driving conviction and "no proof of weapons in Iraq." We've heard these two charges many times before; they're old, and most of us who support Bush are unswayed by them. The author is a writer for the New York Times and quotes from CNN, two of the most ridiculously left slanting news outlets in the United States. The reporters for these sources freely editorialize without warning in an effort to hornswaggle the unwashed masses.

You didn't sway me. From what I've seen, George Bush is pretty honest. Your hate mail about how I'm a moron who doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground is eagerly awaited. Democrats are exceptionally predictable. Apparently your anti-conservative views didn't help you much in the last mid-term election.

DU RESPONDS: Well I wouldn't want to disappoint. You're a moron who doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground. Happy now?

Subject: RE: Membership

Please remove my name from your membership list. I have no desire to have any connection with a organization of hypocrites, that preach one thing but practice another.
You rally against censorship, yet you practice censorship.
You removed one of my messages as unacceptable because of my use of the terms cow-udders and Full Monty.
According to my Webster Dictionary neither the word "cow"or the word "udder" is listed as obscene. Neither are they consider to be scatological, salacious or pornographic.
If my opinion of women's breast, is that they appear to be as "cow-udders", that is my constitutional right to express that opinion. If women get their balls in a snarl because I call their breast "cow udders" that is their problem. They have no constitutional right to abridge my constitutional right of free speech. I suggest they go over to the freeper web-site where they are all for censorship as long as it is for someone else other than themselves.
As for my comment "Full Monty", that too, is not either scatological , salacious, or pornographic. A few years ago those very words were splash across every movie marquee in every city in the U.S.A.
I have a gut feeling that the real reason for the removal of "Full Monty" is because it labeled me a homosexual. You claim to support gays then you discriminat against me.
You did not remove those message where hetrosexual wax euphorically over the thought of naked women's breast. That make you hypocrites.
Don't bother dunning me for donations. I will never give you pack of lying hypocrites one thin dime.
You want donations? Fuck you!! go beg somewhere else!

DU RESPONDS: Aw, come on. Spare some change for a hungry webmaster? I promise we won't remove any more of your Consitutionally-protected cow udder messages from our discussion board. You enormous weirdo.

I see that you've managed to acquire a few hateful letters from conservatives, but they rate NOTHING like the drivel and bile that is spewed out daily by Daschle, Gebhardt, and the Clintons, not to speak of the bias of CNN, ABC, CBS and NBC.

Keep trying. You're PATHETIC. And one more thing -- you give tax cuts to people who PAY taxes -- I guess all of you were asleep when you were attending your government indoctrination schools. How do you give a tax cut to someone who doesn't PAY taxes?

DU RESPONDS: You mean like Enron, who didn't pay taxes for four years by laundering their money through offshore accounts, and then tried to grab $254 million in special tax breaks? Sounds fair. And I hate to tell you this, but income tax isn't the ONLY tax people pay, you know. Although I guess Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity are happy to have you believe that.

came from and alot were not much better off than the SLAVES .
sorry for their plight..but not my design nor my deal..We as a people
