The hillbilly fuckstains have been pretty upset since I came on the scene. The same kind of knuckle-dragging disgraces that splashed badly Photoshopped images of our President as a witch doctor and Nazi all over the Internet are at it again with their hate and since they cant debate me, they are doing the only thing they canbeing schoolyard bullies.
They have also brought my beautiful children into it, like the classless pieces of trash they are. Notice they misspelled Duchess, of course:
So, here goes My name is Leah Farley and Im the mother of the two amazing boys posted above. I live in the Midwest and I struggle the same way a lot of you do, which is why this has become so personal for me. I had NO idea that this endeavor would become so successful maybe I would have been more careful if I had. I can tell you one thing though, Im not going to stop or be intimidated by these nasty, barely-literate hicks.
Thank you to all who support me! I will keep speaking my mind and it is going to take a fuck of a lot more than this weak bullshit to stop me. ?

Here is a tip for the Duchess going forward and please pass it on to her, be very careful with how you do instant
messaging on facebook, always, ALWYAS log off your facebook accounts, also, if you're using windows, always
find out who is connected to your PC by typing these commands using CMD netstat -an -p tcp -b what this
commands does is to show the name of the program that established a listening port. Open ports are one way of
taking control of your PC.
Thee republicans use these dirty tricks because they have nothing else.
Since you're a HOT liberal, I'll willing provide you with more security advice IF you need it, nothing spectacular just
basics, send me an email through DU.

(297,154 posts)she and her boys are Always Safe from Idiot Fuckwads. It was a sixteen year old who was talking assassination of our President last night.
"For this, according to the Daily Kos, she gained a lot of new followers and 300 retweets before her account was closed today. She also got her fair share of hate directed back at her.
Alyssas tweet is but a microcosm of whats wrong with the modern day conservative movement. Its indicative of what President Clinton said in his DNC speech, I may often disagree with Republicans, but I never hated them, unlike the hatred displayed by extreme right wing activists towards President Obama. The relentless hate directed at this President has been out of control from the beginning, led by Sarah Palin during the 2008 election and now being carried out by birther adjacent Mitt Romney, whose constant lies about Obama are meant to drive exactly the kind of racial animus displayed in Alyssas tweet."

Be Safe, Duchess!

I remain mostly anonymous on social media because the RW have threatened my life, stalked me on the net & also in real life, even claiming to know where I live & work. All because I shut them down on Twitter (deleted my FB page last year) & other places such as blogs & online "news" mags. I also have 2 kids. These people who have gathered intel on me are well-known in RW blogosphere, some even appear on TV. Another reason for my anonymity is I'm an activist for social justice & also I need to keep my job. I can completely relate, the Right Wing Nut Jobs are NOT playing. They have literally declared war on us. But, I'm not the type to be intimidated so I keep exposing them for the undercover agent provocateur's they are or the white supremacist groups they belong to. These are dangerous & deranged people.

(59,584 posts)Oh, so "something's very off" - why? Because somebody came along who's funny, smart and writes world-class scathe-speak, and because of that became something of an internet phenom?
Internet "fame" being what it is, I suppose that would make those who post cute cat videos similar tentacles of a sinister cabal of mustache-twirling Illuminati who lurk in their volcano island headquarters?
And guess what? The Tea-tard douchecanoes now trying to intimidate and threaten her are exactly that - fearful little morons in grave danger of blowing holes through their feet or cracking their pearl strands, depending on which hand's doing the spasmodic "Aiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeee!! Muslims and blacks!!!!" clutching.
Oh, and don't like her? As in the case of the Rude Pundit, find something else to read if you disagree with her style and approach.
WorseBeforeBetter
(11,441 posts)Not surprising, though, many DUers have a tendency to glom on to the latest shiny object until s/he implodes. AngryBlackLady and her rant against Scahill comes to mind.
Read DSR's "Personal Stories" in her LiveJournal, I mean, blog. Rape, identifying herself, and posting a felching-captioned pic of her children. I stand by my "something is off."
Rude rocks! DSR? Not so much...
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm about to hit my yard and properly use those garden tools referred to in #37 below.

Are you suggesting that the lady can not have private photos on her fb account? They were stolen from her!
It seems to me that the Duchess is a real person speaking out, why does that set off your "hinky meter"? I am genuinely curious btw, I'm not being snarky!
bunnies
(15,859 posts)whether they were previously stolen or not. Im not sure what a "hinky meter" is, but I'd imagine that any (apparently) naked woman wrapped in a sheet might set "it" off.
Duchess St.Rollins
(74 posts)...and, WTF choice did I have? They were posting them all over FB!!! I used a screen cap to document the whole posts (including the pics of me) because I wanted people to be aware of what was out there and who was doing it. I wanted the culprit to know I was watching them and now had documentation of their dumbfuckery.
Jesus Christ, you'd think I had close-up beaver shots in my profile or something. Grow up.

Jesus, I agree, your fb account is yours, if you set it to private, such that only friends and family can see, then that is your choice. What pictures you choose is yours alone.
Why am I even answering this anyway?! Good luck, with the teabillies after you, you're going to need it. I do hope you have contacted the police about the threats made against you and your children.

Duchess St.Rollins
(74 posts)I DO appreciate that you are being respectful and not as accusatory as others, but let me clear some things up. I have personally been on FB for many years. Duchess St. Rollins has been around for about a month and a half. I had NO idea (how could I?) that me freaking out on people on the Internet would be so popular. I have done next to nothing to promote myself and all of the interest has been organic and very surprising.
When I stated to realize this was getting much bigger than I anticipated, I did everything I could to secure my personal information. In retrospect, maybe I should have just deleted my personal FB account all together. Regardless, how is anyone posting a picture of my innocent children with a disgusting caption in any way justified?
I understand if you don't agree with what I write or how I write it, but please have some compassion for my kids.
WorseBeforeBetter
(11,441 posts)that the felching-captioned pic was reposted to your blog. The mother in me wants to protect those beautiful young boys, not use them to score political points against Teabaggers.
I mean, really, where is ANY of this getting anyone? I still say something is very "off," but it's not something I'm losing sleep over...

(74 posts)I had posted that you would have a point. But, I did not so everything you are saying is completely irrelevant. Plus, I don't give a shit that people posted this pic...I am actually PROUD of this image. I am most upset that they posted pictures of my children with heinous captions.
bunnies
(15,859 posts)so someone else posted those pics on YOUR blog. Alrighty then.
facts1opinion2
(1 post)They were taken from her facebook account. That person posted the photos on various websites and liberal/conservative facebook pages pretending to be the Duchess. Duchess then came out on her blog and posted the photos and the comments the hackers had placed on the photos and about the photos. Bunnies, seriously, like women don't have enough crap to deal with without another woman beating them up because, oh, shit, they took a sexy photo! Never mind that they were intended to be KEPT private. C,mon.

(74 posts)It's the way THEY CHOSE FOR ME how I would be presented. Those were my PRIVATE pics in my PRIVATE FB account and I would NEVER had released them on my own in that way. But, thanks for the fucking support.
I hope no one ever steals pictures of YOUR children (or ones you love) and writes vile captions on them. It really fucking SUCKS and, in my opinion, is a cowardly way to respond to criticism. Calling someone a bunch of hillbilly fucksticks (never directed at any ONE persons, BTW, but their whole collective) is one thing, dragging innocent children into the mix is quite another.
P.S. Sorry, I didn't mean to be "too" pretty and seem like a webcam girl. Please forgive me for offending you with pictures you WERE NEVER MEANT TO FUCKING SEE.

Egalitarian Thug
(12,448 posts)a giant scam with only one purpose, to exploit all of their member's information and sell it to any/everybody that can pay. That is why their technical people are way beyond their depth and there is no serious effort made to secure their members information. They went public and what happened? Did they suddenly pour a millions of their new dollars into developing new systems and securing the databases? How about those gigantic raises for the dozens of people that have done that work that made it all possible? No, Saverin & Zuckerberg took a couple billion apiece and left you all to twist in the wind. "Good luck and thanks for the cash, suckers".
If you and other FB/Twitter celebrities would bring your followers to a site that understands and works for their clients, we could end this ongoing betrayal and profiting from ignorance.

AsahinaKimi
(20,776 posts)Mostly because of privacy settings, that don't seem to work. There was also that massive glitch that allowed people to see private information, they were not supposed to see. I do twitter now because its fairly safe, (Just don't click on links from strange people) and you do not add much personal information in your account. I also like the idea that you can even get a response from a celebrity from time to time. Being that my group is about Asian music and culture, its thrilling to get messages some times from Japanese entertainers and bands...especially from ones I adore!
ladym55
(2,577 posts)1--What the hell, Rethugs? Someone calls you on your sh*t, and you feel the need to get personal and threatening? Seriously? How pathetic are you, anyway? (Don't answer that. I think we already know.)
2--Children are OFF limits ... no matter what. We can disagree heatedly on issues ... but leave the children alone.
3--And who really CARES what the Duchess looks like? She has lots to say ... it's fiery ... it's good stuff, and whether it comes from a very attractive young blonde or someone old and large and gray-haired like me ... it doesn't really matter in the end.
This is the difference between Dems and Rethugs. I may think a Rethuglican's ideas and stands are moronic and offensive, but I won't wish him/her harm. I don't wish Rmoney or Lyin' Ryan harm. I want Rmoney and his family happily managing their Cayman Islands accounts without messing with my life, and I want Ryan to try out life in the private sector since we've been supporting his family on public money for quite some time.

Hopefully the Duchess will find an agent and consider ways of taking her stuff to a wider audience. It's pretty entertaining.
