Arizona state schools Superintendent John Huppenthal admitted this week that he was the person who had been posting controversial anonymous messages on Internet websites, including one that likened poor people to “lazy pigs.”

For several months, writers at the Democratic Blog for Arizona have suspected that Huppenthal was the commenter that had been posting inflammatory comments at their site and others.

“We now know that (Franklin D. Roosevelt) was almost completely responsible for the great depression,” a user named Falcon9 wrote last year in the Blog for Arizona comments area. “Only in liberal mythology did FDR ‘save’ the nation. … Worse yet, Roosevelt’s disastrous economic policies drug down the whole world and directly led to the rise of a no-name hack named Adolph Hitler who was going nowhere until Germany’s economy went into the tank.”

Falcon9 also wrote that “job creators are being taxed to death,” while “Obama is rewarding the lazy pigs with food stamps (44 million people), air-conditioning, free health care, flat-screen TV’s (typical of ‘poor’ families).”
