Been needling him for 30 years, starting with TYPED, single-spaced letters, which he answered on his radio letterhead. E-mailing has been a blessing. Gotta say he's put up with it, starting from when he thought he could convert me into wingnuttiness. He still salivates.
So I'm careful, I never reveal DU or whatever brainstorming we do about campaign strategies or when we self-criticize (never give an inch/clue to wingnuts).
In the 2nd one below I'm quoting from DU posts, thanks

As (local radio wingnut) has taught us (sarcasm), the KKK is not a problem supposedly because nobody uses sheets or burns crosses anymore. And Texas just can never top the statistics, since only SEVEN of the 31 are Texans, 23% is a lot? And remind me not to vacay near Watauga (Ft Worth, 2 of 31), Conroe (Houston), Haslet (3) & Grapevine (more DFW) - all north in Texas.
Oh, look, theres a (local radio wingnut surname) in the list!
The gallery of pictures is blindingly White, although one surname ends in an O vowel and we know what THAT means. And they were going to riot against Gay Pride, so that doesnt count as White Nationalist, does it? sarcasm sarcasm sarcasm

It's hard to fathom the monumental amount of work the committee did. Thousands of interviews, countless documents both paper and electronic. They pieced all of it together producing a compelling narrative during the hearings, buttressing it with carefully chosen clips from the interviews. These people and their staff are geniuses. As part of my job we often have to synthesize large amounts of information and distill it in a few pages in a paper. I know how hard it is and their task was an order of magnitude bigger.
This also puts into perspective the pace at which DOJ is going. They have to do this as well and make it legally tight so that it can be used in court.
(A reply: ) Congressional staff jobs can be fairly round the clock and deadening. Why does the mental image of LBJ jumping atop staff desks, stomping and screaming, pop up? (from Robert CARO's biography of LBJ)
The scale of investigation for the 2020 election is amazing. If 1/10th that effort had been pursued in the 2000 contest there would have been no: President G.W. Bush or Iraq war or 2006 recession or President D. Trump. A lousy one tenth the effort. What a damned waste

In the wingnut alternate universe what is seen and heard is turned around, dont believe your lying eyes. So (local wingnut) thought he had the key to excusing Drumpf, which he got from The Atlantic couple yrs ago, being: Not to take his verbal blathering LITERALLY. The reality is that Drumpf uses Mob Talk, giving his orders by implication, which he can deny when his flying monkeys carry out his nefarious commands, as in Henry IIs Will no one rid me of this meddlesome priest? that his knights took as the order to kill Thomas a Beckett.
Everythings a laugh to wingnuts, dont believe your lying eyes they say. So when (local wingnut) claims that White Nationalism aint a problem because the KKK doesnt exist, hes being bizarrely literal, since the white robes and burning crosses arent in sight. While we know that wingnut policies take us back to Americas great days of discrimination, power based on cash, and majority Whites where everybody else knows their place. So, literally, there are no white sheets, just the policies.
So heres (picture of) ABBUTT loving it up with a Proud Boy what, was Ted NUGENT not available?! Oh, and in the sartorial Benghazi t-shirt.

Local radio wingnut talkshow yakker said (about the first hearing) :
Local radio wingnut talkshow yakker said (about the first hearing) :
"The Jan 6 hearing tried to make everything about (Drumpf!!!!!!) "
He actually said they just wanted "to BLACKEN HIS NAME"!!!!!!
He also said "nobody was watching"!!!!
Uh for starters, at least 20 millions grand total across all networks watched, not counting PBS and others uncounted. Faux Propaganda didn't carry it.
Can't type much on the phone so my disgust with (local wingnut) can't be vented adequately. Goes to show wingnuts will sell out "principles" not to mention the country for anybody getting them in power. He is also on his latest mental tear claiming that these days "White supremacy" is a Lib or Woke slur against "Conservatives". Uh I long ago said that RACISM is a CORE VALUE of wingnuts.
