Right-Wingers Hate Me! (Do They Hate YOU Too? - Find Out!)
Edited on Mon Mar-21-05 03:46 PM by GiovanniC
For so long I have seen members of DU hated on at websites like Freak Republic and other right-wing whack-job sites, but I have been woefully ignored... until now!

Last week, in a thread about Terri Schiavo, someone suggested that Terri Schiavo should live because she was not a vegetable and she could eat and swallow on her own. That prompted a series of posts by myself that indicated that Terri Schiavo has the same likelihood of swallowing "as a chia pet."

In other words, she had NO likelihood of swallowing, because she is a vegetable. That is nothing derogatory to Terri Schiavo; she simply is what she is: PVS. To further illustrate my point, I listed a few other inanimate objects that also had the same (i.e., zero) likelihood of being capable of swallowing. Note that I did not, in fact, call Terri Schiavo "a chia pet".

I point that last thing out because I happened to stumble upon close to a dozen different right-wing websites this morning, all of which feature those comments by little ol' me, except (surprise, surprise!) they find the statements to be completely morally outrageous, a travesty of all that is holy and pure in this world, cruel and horrific and there is much hand-wringing and pontificating. Oh, and "reprehensible", I forgot reprehensible.

This is the site that spawned all the other comments:

http://hundredpercenter.blogspot.com/2005/03/democraticundergrounds-reprehensible.html

Some of you also made it to the "reprehensible" list, but on most of the other right-wing-rag-sites, I get a more prominent headline billing.

I've always said that you can tell when you're on the right track by the kinds of people you piss off. I think we're on it now.

1. Congratulations
You know you have made it when some frothing, nutcase winger shrieks about your comments on his blog.

No sarcasm--seriously. :toast:

4. That's Been My Philosophy
I know it will take years to reach a point where I am hated almost half as much as mopaul or Will Pitt or Walt Starr or the others, but it is a goal I will strive for every day.

Freepers vacuum your IQ down several points for every minute you read one of their threads...scientific fact!

5. Actually, I think you make your point very clearly.
Anybody who reads the thread will get the gist of the "democratic" argument. It's actually kind of hard to rebut the facts you've stated, except by maligning your character and intelligence.

7. Feels good, doesn't it?
I was famous for about 5 minutes, when a RWer named LindaSOG was attacking DU, and I responded about her hypothetical sexual attracton to Bush.

Well, it turned out that the owner of AmericanForum didn't care for what I said, and since both I and Linda were members of that board, he felt he should be able to dictate terms on what I say on other sites as well as his. We had some heated e-mails, he baited me to repond to her charges of "personal attacks"...funny, what they say(which is much worse) is never considered personal attacks... on the AF, I said my peace, which wasn't a capitulation , he then told me to find a house in Canada to live in. This is a Brit immigrant who obviously loves the fascism that this country has become, since I wouldn't give up the high growth that the EU is snjoying now for THIS! So, we exchange more heated e-mails, and I tyold him that his site was nothing more than a stealth rw hate site where the liberals are supposed to be lapdog whipping boys. He banned me, and told me...and I quote...to "FUCK OFF!"

I won!:D

BTW: The site is no longer there, but a few were obsessing about me even a month later. LOL!

18. Could be, too
that he was the type of Brit who misses Britain's Imperial Salad days, so he relocated to the U.S. so that he can revel in Imperialism again. Just speculation - :)

Sad really. One of the many things that ticks me off about these people is when they tell me to move to another country because I don't like what's going on. This is my freakin country too and I'm a nautral born citizen so I'm going to freakin have a say in what happens. If they don't like it THEY can move and kiss my ass.

there's no place for them to move to, because their nation no longer exists - it was a place called Nazi Germany.

10. I am fond of quoting Charlie Brown
He says: The world is full of hate.
Schroeder says: Do you really think that's true Charlie Brown?
CB: I know it's true. The whole world hates me.

That guy is certifiably nuts. We noticed him when he started up that pathetic little blog. It doesn't get much traffic at all. Don't even post links to it here, because that gives him more traffic. Seriously, he's off his NUT.

15. My Apologies For Linking
Edited on Mon Mar-21-05 04:03 PM by GiovanniC
It's just that I saw the quotes all over the place, and they all referenced back to that site, so rather than post a bunch of links or do a massive cut-and-paste-job, I just posted the source.

I'll never link there (or visit) again.

16. No, I don't mean to dictate anything!
But it's probably better if we don't encourage that nut. I've found the thing that pisses off freepers of ALL kinds the most is totally fucking ignoring them. I've been told in PMs here that I am talked about on different sites, quite a bit sometimes, but I refuse to go there and read the stuff, because I really don't give a shit what people with hardly any brain cells to rub together and no heart in their chest think about what I have to say. Let them continue to read me and I WON'T read them! LOL! It's great!

28. UPDATE: Just Had This Fun Exchange:
At 2:19 PM, BetteAnne said…
Giov-manic

You haven prove my point beautifully, hahaha. Thank You!

So I guess Michael is your role model for the perfect husband. He should go on with his life, and divorce Terri, not stay married just so he can complete the job of murder that he set out to do in the first place.

You stand up for the rights of terrorist. You stand up for gay freaks wanting to be groom and groom, bride or bride. You stand up for partial birth abortion.

You stand for everything twisted and evil in this world. Now you jump with glee that Terri is at the mercy of her scumbag of a man who calls himself her husband. Give yourself a pat on the back.

You are a party of Death & Jackels!

After your sick comments, I truly wish you the same fate as Terri. I am not much for praying, but this I will pray on...


MY RESPONSE

BetteAnne,

Speaking of people who lack any capacity for cognitive thought, you are an imbicile. Terri Schiavo at least has an EXCUSE for not having any brain activity. What's yours?

Yours in Christ,
Giovanni

29. Congratulations!
Join the club. I was banned from another site that is infested with rethugs for daring to debate fellow reichnuts about their demigod. Schiavo is not a person but rather a shell. It is a tragic situation. Their are others in similar situations but you don't see Congress runnnig to their aid. Why? Because rethugs won't get any political gain from it. I heard Cockroach DeLay say that they (members of Congress) needed to do this for Terri because she was one of them. WTF? She is but a shell of person with no consciousness. She doesn't feel pain, nothing.

You made your point. The reichnuts are fools. I will post when I get some great stuff I received via email from an anonymous wingnut. I keep it as a badge of courage.

As in, someone without cognitive function? Someone lacking the capacity to think and feel? Tell us something we DON'T know, DeLay.

41. My Response to One of Them
I’d rather be a Democrat than a homophobic, xenophobic, idiotic, racist, sexist, classist, hypocritical, gap-toothed, cousin-f*cking, blank-staring, anti-education, anti-environment, anti-worker, anti-liberty, anti-truth, right-wing reactionary neocon whack-job like yourself, but I am tolerant of your right to be one.

Yours in Christ,
Giovanni

37. I've been quoted there before.
Naturally, what I said was taken out of context.

I even had some freeper email me later talking about my "treasonous anti-american comments" that were "all over the web," and had been supposedly reported to the Department of Homeland Security.

There were so many things to laugh at in that threat that I didn't even know where to begin.

I was wondering if people went to other sites and posted opinions and comments and how they were recieved....sometime it's like preaching to the choir around here. I'm glad to know you go out there and evoke a response. Wish minds could be changed for the better.
