Exchange of the Day


Missouri State Senator Brian Nieves (R) sent an email to his distribution list and received this reply from a constituent: "Take me off your mailing list. Freak."

Not very friendly, but the Riverfront Times reports Nieves fired off "a series of lengthy, angry, incredibly bizarre" e-mails in response.

An example: "Wow. Your communications are so thought provoking, well written, and intelligent. Perhaps you secretly want to be on my distribution list because every time you send me a message, your email is recaptured and put on my distribution list. I'm tiring of taking you off every time you email me AGAIN so unless you are in love with me or have some other sort of sick obsession with me (sorry, I'm straight as an arrow) you should probably stop emailing me so that you don't keep getting put back on the list. Should I type these instructions slower? Are you having a hard time understanding? BTW - I archive ALL questionable emails like yours in case there's ever any doubt about who got ugly first. Go back to the grade school playground where people you can successfully bully and out smart are playing cuz junior... You are way out of your league with me."

1. He is a clown. Get this:

Nieves is the host of a morning talk radio show called "The Patriot Enclave" on KWMO 1350 AM in Washington, MO and functions as KWMO's marketing director. He and his wife also operate Nieves Enterprises and Hwy 66 Auto Sales. Additionally, Nieves serves as a high school substitute teacher and is also a Zone Pastor of Living Bread Church. Nieves frequently speaks to groups about small business operations, concentrating in the areas of professional development and team building.

Little asshole. Looks like he's a Ryan clone:

[EC]

3. I was just thinking

that the next time I get an email from Ryan that's what I'm going to send back...take me off your list, freak. I contacted him with a complaint and ever since get emails.

[CurtEastPoint]

4. Freak. It's a great insult. Not dirty and very accurate!

[Taverner]

12. LOL...a "Mon A Vie" hat - so he's a snake oil salesman too!

[CurtEastPoint]

13. what is that?

[siligut]

14. MLM or Ponzi scheme "nutritional" products

So he is a freak and a club member.

[CurtEastPoint]

15. he drank the koolaid

[siligut]

17. He gives seminars on small business

I am guessing this is how he builds his "sales force". Bait and switch.

[Taverner]

24. Mon A Vie - like Amway in a wine bottle LOL

[siligut]

18. Headquartered in Salt Lake City

Pyramid scheme capital of the world.

[kardonb]

20. nieves

thank the heavenly stars we are NOT in your freaky outfit , Nieves .

[ZRT2209]

27. team building??? whaaaaaaat?

[EC]

2. Wow,

he is a freak. A childish freak too.

[Blue Owl]

5. Wow he really is a freak

(how often does one get to use the freak smilie?)

[tblue]

6. State Senator?!

We should all join and unjoin his pathetic list.

[msanthrope]

7. Freak...and not in a good way. nt

[Myrina]

8. Reminds me of something Limbaugh would do ...

... huff and puff and claim to be 'victmized' all the while he's the one who's picking the fight.

[Fantastic Anarchist]

9. Email looks like one of those 12 year old right-wing trolls ...

... would type.

How old is Brian Nieves? Has anyone checked his mother's basement yet?

[rhett o rick]

[rhett o rick]

43. I was a little more blunt. nm

[L0oniX]

11. Looks like the same sort of response you often see on DU.

[efhmc]

28. Sadly true. I get some of the most bizarre comments.

The ones I love are those that claim to understand who I am and what I do by some comment I make to a thread. It's been hard but I have leaned not to respond.

[Ratty]

29. Ha! I was just thinking that

No insult to Duers but it amazes when I go to a forum or Youtube and just goggle at the types of people who will not let something go. They always have to have the last word. I really just don't get it. Someone says something nasty to me on the net and I could care less. I don't know them, I realize the net is filled with people like that, who cares? Move on with your life. This state senator is that type of person to a tee. He really must not have any experience with the net and its denizens. First not realizing there's always someone who will disagree, sometimes vociferously, but more important that this insane back and forth is just digging himself deeper and deeper into a hole because once it's out there it's forever and it WILL get coverage.

[siligut]

16. "You are way out of your league with me"

Paranoid puke. Call him a freak and he thinks you want war.

[mwooldri]

34. Sadly he is right out of my league.

In fact, he's not even in my universe. However I did graduate from Internet 101. I also know that it is possible that his email list becomes a well known spam list. It is amazing what an email blacklist can do - the main email providers use blacklists to filter spam. The CAN-SPAM Act has absolutely nothing to do with blacklists. It is easily possible for a .gov address to be considered hijacked and that is enough. It also takes time to get removed from the blacklist.

[siligut]

39. Well now, that is rather clever

Would email be returned to him with a fail notice or would they just fail to reach their target?

[mwooldri]

40. either fail to get there or goes straight to spam.

The blacklist doesn't stop the email transit per se, it is a flag to the internet service provider that the email from so and so is likely spam based on being on the blacklist. How the ISP handles it is up to them. Google will kindly place it in your spam for you if it is blacklisted.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

19. If there was any doubt about him being a freak

he cleared that up.

[SunSeeker]

21. Wow. Even throws in a gratuitous homophobic line. nt

[Moostache]

22. All too familiar douchery here in East Kansas.

Washington, MO. is about an hour and change outside the St. Louis suburbs. His district is stuffed full to bursting with "teh stoopid"...I believe that the guy with the "Get a brain Morans" sign was from his area...in fact, now that I have seen that image of him...I am wondering what the freak would look like if dressed like that iconic photo...methinks the freak doth protest too much!

[proud2BlibKansan]

37. And it's an absolutely beautiful little town.

How can it be home to such nutty people?

[Gore1FL]

23. Here is the thread in the MO group with the RiverFront Times link

[ZRT2209]

25. this is the cream of the crop of the GOP?

[FreeBC]

26. Unfortunately, the CAN-SPAM Act does not apply to political emails

How surprising that congress would pass a law that exempts them from following it *sarcasm*

[TeamPooka]

30. Brian "Freaky" Nieves. I love how nicknames get started...

and I just posted that on his facebook page....

[skypilot]

31. Oh damn, he's "straight as an arrow".

[PatrynXX]

32. They do seem to like to do that.

Put you on the list thinking for some reason every email they they is pro.

still can't get off Rick Santorums list no matter how hard I try or how bad the emails get. Think he has a softball stuck up his asshole. This guy though musta drank something from the Galena Canning Company in the Motherpucker section. (seriously there is a hot sauce called Motherpucker.. mad as a hatter tougher than a tatter tit. (yes I meant to say that yes thats politically incorrect yes I'm not politically correct. Yes I'm am will always be a big Carlin fan. any questions? Probably not because I may or may not read them.. But I certainly won't put yall on a mailing list..

[perdita9]

33. Someone's off their meds...

...and I don't think it's the voter.

When someone asks "take me off your mailing list" the proper response is "Of course."

[proud2BlibKansan]

35. A couple years ago Nieves pulled a gun on folks in his office.

He's also threatened his opponents and he curses at constituents.

He's nuts.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

36. A pic of this guy says it all....

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

38. Wow, the freak is getting hammered on his Facebook page

[Robb]

41. PUI. Should resign.

Funny regardless. It's like the GOP has some kind of mind ray that makes them all not know how the Internet works.
