I just sent this email to Brit Hume

I have been seething ever since he made the "get over it" crack the other day. I tried to blow it off but just couldn't do it,so I fired this off at him a few minutes ago:


Mr. Hume

I have been searching for a way over the last few days to calmly and eloquently express my feelings about your "get over it" remark to the families of US Military personnel killed in Iraq,but the fact of the matter is,there is nothing calm or eloquent about the rage and indignation I feel over the remark,so you are going to get it just like it is.

If you worked as an actual jornalist for a legitimate news service,I would be calling for them to fire you,but since you are what you are and Faux News is what it is,I don't hold out any hope for that happening.

The problem with self serving sons of bitches like yourself and the pieces of shit in the Bush misadministration who you so glady play the sycophant for,is that common people like the families of the troops are of no consequence in the sick game you people are playing with what is left of this once great country.If their opinion runs contrary to yours,it is all too easy to marganilize them. Don't stop and think about how people feel,just crush them because they are in the way. They can't be allowed to get in the way of the profileration of the 4th Reich,right?

The fact is,the Bush misadministration IS the biggest failure the White House and the Nation at large has ever seen.I know it must be a hard job that gets harder every day to try and spin their failures into something that looks like success. Bush's little "slide show" and STUPID,INSENSITIVE and PISS IGNORANT remarks cannot be defended,as evidenced by the "Get over it" statement you made.Maybe if you were to get your nose out of W's ass and look around a little bit,you might get a little fresh perspective.

Freedom of speech is a wonderful thing. You have the right to say what you said,and I have the right to get pissed off about it. I can tell you if you had made that crack within arms reach of me,you probably would not have been a very happy camper.Anyway I am writing this to say something about what you said,so here it is........

FUCK YOU!!!!!!

Sincerely,

1. That was beautiful. Just beautiful. Brit Hume reminds me of a what a
squirrel would look like in a suit and tie. And instead of storing nuts, he is nuts.

I have just gotten to the point where I don't give a shit anymore.There is no line these trolls won't cross and they deserve whatever they get for it.They certainly don't deserve the slightest bit of respect.

8. Hume is
just another chickenshit pom-pom twirler who sheds tears when someone denigrates his hero.

Hey Brit! What's like to carry water for a living, cabanaboy?

16. why doesn't hume go talk to a dead soldier's family
why doesn't hume go talk to a dead soldier's family and tell them to get over it?

... your son was murdered, burned, mutilated and hung from a bridge?

get over it, ya big whiner!

it's beyond disgusting, but you're right, faux doesn't care, business as usual.

20. That is a great letter.
But you know once they see the profanity, they'll trash it. I would have saved it til the last sentence with the aptly "FUCK YOU" (that was great by the way). I do understand your anger at him. Brit Hume upset me too when I read about what he said. Asshole. I think Air America should be informed about what Brit said. The asshole should apologize.

25. I know

They will just chalk it up to another "deranged liberal" and file it in "file 13". I don't really care,I didn't write it for him,I wrote it for me. It wasn't just his vile spewing that prompted it,it's been building up for quite a while. I guess I have just had it up to my eyeballs with these Un-American assclowns.

I feel a little better after writing them. I was contemplating not sending it after I was finished,thinking that just putting the words down was enough,but I thought what the hell and hit send.What are they going to do,send some corporate goons out to break my legs?

30. That brought tears to my eyes
That is probably the most beautiful thing I have ever read. Brit Hume, that scum-sucking coward Nancy boy, can suck a four-alarm choking fart right out of my ass.
