Humpday Hatemail -- now with voting!

I thought everyone could use a bit of cheering up today so here's a fresh and steaming pile of hatemail for your perusal. When you're done, check out the poll at the bottom and vote for your favorite hate mailer!


POSTING ON DU IS A HUMAN RIGHT? WHO KNEW!

Subject: RE: Illegal Violations of My Freedom of Speech, and Censorship of My Comments on Your Website
ATTENTION “DEMOCRATIC UNDERGROUND”:

I am so tired of you so-called "pro-'democracy'" and "freedom" websites that violate freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of belief and freedom of expression, all of which are human and civil rights under Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (international human rights law), and the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights.

FYI, unpopular speech and so-called “offensive” speech are protected free speech rights; and, therefore, you have no legal rights whatsoever to censor ANY such comments that you deem to be such but that do not threaten anyone and/or are not illegal in any way, such as my comments.

Therefore, immediately and totally cease and desist all violations of my human and civil rights, my freedom of speech, and censorship of my comments on your website. Or, as is nothing but my First and Fifth Amendment rights to warn you of, and as a bona fide member in good standing of the National Lawyers Guild [(NLG) as a fully physically disabled former legal worker], the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), and Amnesty International (AI), I will be taking nothing but legal action(s) against your company and/or organization for all violations of same, as well as other legal causes of action.

You are therefore and hereby legally put on notice of all of same.

Also, immediately restore my account registration and all of my previously-submitted comments.

Thank you for all of your nothing but legal consideration and response to this entire very important matter, if any.

In nothing but Truth,

(name redacted), Human Rights and Civil Liberties Advocate


IF YOU HAVE TO ASK, YOU'LL NEVER KNOW

Subject: It's really sad what DU has become.

I had to be sick with looking at a nude male with a helmet on the end of his erect penis and hide it by jury decision, yet I question Rachel the darling on her obsession with all things teh gay and get nuked.

What is going on here?


OW, MY BRAIN

Subject: Posts

Its funny you preach free speech but when someone disagrees with you boom pull the plug I read your terms of use what I posted was not even as hateful as other posts agenst him.. My true feelings are with all the lies we are finding out about what happened like Zimmerman was hurt treated at sean and 911 call cut pot res found on him at school Zimmerman will be free not just because he was justified but all the lies and tricks being played by news and others now there talking about suing looks like it's about money to thank god iam on the right god bless America right is the right side


MORE DEEP CONSERVATIVE THOUGHT

Subject: (no subject)

:-D Van Jones you commie two bit bastard , Van Jones you commie two bit bastard ,Van Jones you commie two bit bastard ,Van Jones you commie two bit bastard ,Van Jones you commie two bit bastard ,Van Jones you commie two bit bastard ,Van Jones you commie two bit bastard ,Van Jones you commie two bit bastard ,Van Jones you commie two bit bastard ,
See ya Around maybe not lol. l8-)


OH NO, WE WERE SO CLOSE TO GETTING THAT THOUSAND DOLLAR DONATION

Subject: I wonder if you have any idea

how many Democrats you have alienated by your insistence on one single
position on virtually every issue. You treat us like we're children
with any minds of our own and you 'tombstone' anyone who doesn't toe
that narrow little insipid line. It will be interesting to see how
you keep your little handful of cocksuckers in line in future. You
could have had a thousand dollars I've spent on domains I would gladly
have donated to DU if you hadn't been such an ideological prick. I
hope you're satisfied, little David. Eat shit and die.


HOW ABOUT I KEEP MY MONEY AND YOU GO FUCK YOURSELF

Subject: account PCButMorallyWrong

I assume only one point of view is allowed on you website. Very ‘liberal’ of you. Not to mention “Compassionate”. I would circumvent you with multiple accounts but your closed minded action tells me you are not interested in facts, just opinions. I would give you my opinion but as a professional accountant you would have to pay for it.

Good day.


I THINK YOU MAY BE ON THE WRONG WEBSITE...

Subject: Red state t shirts

Is it too late to buy one of the Red State University t-shirts? I have always wanted one. Love the new layout, good job!


I'M GUESSING THIS PERSON HAS NEVER VISITED A LIBRARY

Subject: "breaking news" "good reads"

who the hell cares about your stupid categorizing??? you guys are tooools!


CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!

Subject: No response just like I suspected

Gutless cowards is all you are, you Blue Dog Swine can't handle facts and truth you purge the truth every chance you get.
Blue Dog DINO swine like you have destroyed the REAL Democratic Party, you are such cowards you REFUSE to disclose your DLC ties on your trifling site but a simple google of Head Swine David Allen shows that he and his toady’s are nothing but corporate whores who are not interested at all in a liberal or progressive agenda.
The least you cowards could do is become Repukes but you don’t even have the courage of conviction to even do that.
In fact if you were forced to disclose where your real funding comes from, I would be willing to bet it come direct from the Koch Brothers. But I and many others know you will not fully disclose, cowards never do they hide and cower.
I also know you lack the balls to post this on your so called hate mail page, why because I speak the TRUTH about swine like you and your Blue Dog pals and you can’t deal with it.
Blue Dog DLC DINO Swine like you are the problem with America today along with your Repuke pals, you are all the REAL enemy of Freedom in America Today.


YEAH, UM, NOT REALLY

Subject: Opposing Views

I got kicked off of the comment section because I believe that our continued fear mongering of the Climate Change mistake to the voter is actually a death threat to the voter's children. The greatest threat to the planet is what we are saying and the longer we fear monger the voter's children, the longer neocons will sit in power.
Sustainable is not what climate change support is after 26 years of it.
I hope you see the logic of my concern at least.

Let all the world know this babel of babble! And we'll start with one probably near and dear to his heart:

Esperanto: "Ĉu iu iam ĝis decidis uzi eĉ iri volas ja aspektas pli kiel?"
French: "At-on jamais été autant que décidé d'utiliser même aller voulez faire ressembler davantage à?"
Arabic: "وقد أي شخص في أي وقت مضى حتى الآن على النحو الذي تقرر لاستخدام حتى تذهب تريد ان تفعل أشبه؟"
Persian: "هر کسی تا به حال شده است تا آنجا که تصمیم به استفاده از حتی به می خواهید به انجام این کار بیشتر شبیه؟
Russian: "Кто-нибудь когда-нибудь насколько решил использовать даже пойти хотим сделать больше похожа?"
Indonesian: "Apakah ada yang pernah sampai memutuskan untuk menggunakan bahkan pergi ingin melakukan lebih mirip?"
Chinese (traditional): “有沒有人已經遠遠決定使用甚至想要做的看起來更像是嗎?”
Hatian Creole: "Èske gen nenpòt moun ki te janm lwen ke deside sèvi ak menm ale vle fè tankou gade plis?"
Swahili: "Kuna mtu yeyote amewahi kuwa mbali kama aliamua kutumia hata kwenda wanataka kufanya kuangalia zaidi kama?"
Swedish: "Har någon någonsin varit långt som beslutat att använda ens gå vill göra ser mer ut?"
German: "Hat jemand schon einmal soweit beschlossen, selbst nutzen wollen, gehen Sie sehen eher aus wie?"
Afrikaans: "Het iemand al ooit so ver besluit om selfs gebruik gaan wil doen lyk meer soos?"

damn, they don't have Klingon on there...

And given the context, I'm letting the typo stand, because that seems to be all his dome is good for.

The third shouldn't try to talk until he sits down and the room stops spinning.
The fourth? I don't know.. Maybe it's personal.

Well It's just an embarrassment of riches, isn't it? There should be an "all of the above" option.

57. Sounds like my former friend who dissed me about taking down his increasingly abrasive posts
Wed Jun 6, 2012, 03:39 PM
Jun 2012

on my Facebook page.

"...and you call yourself a liberal! You carry on about the First Amendment and then you say I can't post my rants on your page?" And "you pop up, I pop off. It's MY RIGHT!"

I went round and round with him, pointing out that I post my political views on MY page ONLY. I don't go over to somebody else's page and post stuff there when I know they don't agree with it. I confine it to MY page. He insisted because my posts appeared on the general news feed - where you see posts from everyone you're "friended by." He insisted that constituted my posting my stuff on HIS page. Which I never have.

His posts got nastier and nastier, and more bitter and cynical, and he repeatedly refused to honor my requests to quit peeing on my parade like that. DAMN - it reached the point where EVERY FRICKIN' POST I wrote - again, on MY page only - he'd come in with three, four, five, six posts castigating me, dumping on Obama, dumping on Democrats and liberals, ranting about "they're ALL the same, they're ALL alike, they should all burn in hell, blah-blah-blah." And I'd point out - "uh, dear friend, they are NOT all alike. Show me someone in the current GOP and/or CONservative movement who'd stand up for your rights as a gay man. Show me the republi-CON president or presidential candidate who finally took a decisive stand in favor of marriage equality." And he'd just go on with his bile and venom and anger and bitterness as though what I said either didn't matter or was totally wrong. Well, what I said, indeed, did NOT matter (although it wasn't wrong OR factually-inaccurate). And worse still, once he started, I noticed a few other individuals joining in and piling on against me. On MY page! I started deleting the worst and nastiest of his posts, after giving fair warning in general to anyone who came across my page, and to him in particular. Had no effect. And soon enough, here was this post from him excoriating me for being one of the many liberal frauds who wanted to deny him his First Amendment rights to shit all over MY page. And a second post that said "Enjoy Siberia." And bingo! I was "unfriended."

Funny thing was, he beat me to the punch on that one. I had actually been thinking, the night before, that I may be forced to "unfriend" this guy - but he "unfriended" me first. And I was actually relieved. And funny, I can post my occasional political things now and I no longer get this angry, lacerating, bitter, cynical screeds from him, littering my page. It's a welcome change.

And it's also sad. I'm 59. We're the same age. I've known him since we were both 16. We'd spend HOURS on the phone together because he was so much fun to gossip with. He had one of those really caustic senses of humor and circulated in some high society fundraising arenas and AMFAR and the subsequent Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation. I listened hour after hour, to him talk about his long and unsuccessful effort to find love, through all the relationships that started out great and then went sour, through all the betrayals, and one really bad episode with a "lover" who ultimately beat him and stalked him and stole a whole lot of his money - leaving him nearly destitute. I listened and sympathized - sometimes I'd listen while the late-night conversation continued until I almost literally fell asleep (it was almost always on a school night). I had him come sleep in my house when he'd come to town for a visit. Even when I still lived with my parents. And when he'd come out and get a hotel suite, I'd come visit him and we'd hang out and gossip and laugh and enjoy each other's company. We stayed in touch long after the original little circle of friends that brought us into contact with each other broke up and faded away.

And that friendship is over. Not just the Facebook "friendship." The friendship period. And it makes me feel bad to see how negative he he became, and how dark and grim his worldview became. Pretty awful. I'm sad to see this. But thereya go. And I don't care if he thinks I'm a total First Amendment hypocrite. I disagree. I'm not anything of the kind. And I'm not trying to muzzle him or anything. I just didn't want that shit on MY page.

because so many tiny little words all up next to each other with no commas periods question marks make you feel out of breath(e) like you were running very very fast or were caught at seen (sic) with call cut pot res found on you

No one condemned you to the ninth circle of the inferno. No one even mentioned eternal damnation. If you had the balls to really offend someone, it would call down a shitstorm of fucking obscenities, at least. And the only threatened legal action was from an idiot who clearly doesn't understand that if the Constitution allows private country clubs to deny membership to Jews, blacks, and women, then THIS private club (democraticunderground) can deny membership to rich white men and their ass-kissing sycophants.

Nobody wants to sue you for libel or slander? No one wants to ex-communicate you? Then you aren't trying hard enough!

I'm also "agenst" nonsensical thinkers who post in the same horrific fashion with run-on sentences and misspellings and made-up phrases like "911 call cut pot res" without explaining what it means and inserting a meaningless "god bless America" as though saying so automatically gives him the moral high ground.

perhaps as a paralegal in Scott Walker's office. I see his potential, and he's bona fide at that!

And, he knows the law..

Or, as is nothing but my First and Fifth Amendment rights to warn you of, and as a bona fide member in good standing of the National Lawyers Guild.

I was torn between #1 and the penis/helmet guy, but without seeing the picture, I had to go with #1.

So glad this is back. I really missed this feature!

This was a treasure trove of hilarity to choose from, but ultimately I had to go with #1 for its awesomely delusional combination of Constitution Fail and threats to sue.

However, I would have strongly considered voting for Penis-Helmet instead if only a picture had been included.

I was curious about what was said about David and found some sort of interesting stuff in a National Inquirer sort of way.
Not sure how much of it is true or not, but just like everything else on the intertubes, there usually is at least some truth in what people are posting otherwise David Allen would be suing all these people for liable.

What I found:
http://home.earthlink.net/~jlgh54/politics/id4.html
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democratic_Underground#Criticism
http://www.thomhartmann.com/forum/2010/06/democratic-underground-administrator-posts-absurdly-detailed-rules-micromanage-dissent
http://balzac.wordpress.com/2006/02/06/censorship-at-democraticundergroundcom/
www.alexa.com/siteinfo/democraticunderground.com

Plus Facebook, Linkedin and other social media sites that I cannot access because I do not use nor ever will.
I also left out the MANY Righthaven lawsuit links and obvious RW hate sites too
Seems like there are a few unhappy campers on the intertubes.

I guess embrace it!
