So my favorite Wingnut sends me this frothing-at-the-mouth chain email

[Jackpine Radical]

about the Ground Zero Mosque. It was the typical hateful rant trying to pass itself as biting humor. No need to reproduce it here, but I wanted to share my brief reply:

I see they're still jerking you around with their trumped-up nonsense.

Keep you mad at gays, mad at blacks, mad at Muslims, mad at Mexicans, mad at unions, anything but mad at the giant international corporate parasites who are actually responsible for about 80% of the ills of society.

1. They also keep them mad at women.

RWs hate women, which is the basis of their hatred of the earth (or is that the other way around?)

[Mnemosyne]

2. Really great reply, Jackpine. Sadly, the brain-washing goes deep. n/t

[Frances]

3. I'll try to remember your response

It's a good one

[scheming daemons]

4. You have a "favorite Wingnut"?

I know lots of Wingnuts.... but I wouldn't call any of them my "favorite" one. ;-)

6. I worked in the same office as this guy.

We've maintained contact since we both left that office. He comes over & works on my tractors with me, does odd bits of welding for me. And I do various things for him. We've been bumping heads ideologically for about 15 years. I like to listen to him to see what Mind Control Central is putting out as their latest messages to the ids of the faithful.

7. Great post. . . . ¦:^] . . . n/t

8. Remember the "my Favorite Freeper" thread from 2003?

It was hilarious.

9. I hope you replied "reply all"

[DenverDad]

10. Perfect response!

All this "faux hate" and scapegoating to promote infighting within the middle-class is a distraction. They don't want us to notice who REALLY has their hands in our pockets.

11. Very very nice! I'm going to save that one.

Big :thumbsup: !

[annabanana]

12. Very tidy response. Articulate, concise and compact.. .

:thumbsup:

[Maat]

13. Great response?

Can we borrow it as long as we attribute it?

[Jackpine Radical]

16. Hell yes.

[Curmudgeoness]

14. What I like the most about your response is how you

point out that they are hard at work keeping him "mad, mad, mad". I suppose that that is a better approach than telling him they are perpetuating hate, hate, hate.

15. And left out..... Mad At Poor People.

But, then, we are usually left out of the Left, and often first in line for the ire of the Right.

17. I admire your energy...I'm at the point now where "Bite my Dingleberries" is all I can muster.
