Has anyone seen this slam against DU?
I don't know who Adam Yoshida is but I have one thing to say to him: fuck you.

"When I read the postings at Democratic Underground these days I am struck by two emotions: delight and fear. These both originate in a single thought: Bush’s victory has caused many of these people to become unhinged. Initially, despising Democrats as I do, I am delighted at the prospect. However, when I think further about the implications of what I am reading I reprise the original thought in a difference tone: these people are unhinged."

1. Some of us are unhinged.
There is a strong tinfoil contingent here, though it would be false to generalize it.

20. And they make us all look bad.
OH SCREW IT!!

I just posted an article with James Carville giving us some great advice and the first comment was...

"You know that article is from the Right Wing Washington Times, right?"

3. This guy is a moron
This is the same guy who used a racial slur against all Democrats when Bush won. He said we can all get "on the back of the bus". He's a sickening fuck so don't take anything the bigot has to say seriously.

10. Here's a link to the post:
http://www.adamyoshida.com/2004/11/four-more-years-aka-take-that-you-sons.html

"It was closer than we’d like, of course. Far too close. I still can’t believe that anyone voted for John Kerry. John Kerry was a personification of everything that’s wrong with the Democrat Party today. A traitor in his youth, he proposed policies of economic division at home and which would have brought military defeat abroad. The once-proud Democratic Party of people like Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman, John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson has been reduced to such a level as to become little better than the party of AIDS, abortion, adultery and appeasement.

But, whatever, we won: to hell with the rest of them. Those who didn’t support Bush can go and perform a certain anatomically impossible act. They lost, now they can sit in the back of the bus.

Thank God Almighty."

9. I don't know.
I'm way too disgusted to want to know anymore about this freak. He is a self-described "ultra-conservative political commentator." If he added "stupid fucking douchebag" onto that, I think he'd be close.

23. Yeah, he's a Canadian
Lives in a nice scenic suburb of Vancouver. He's also a legendary Usenet kook, been frothing since he was a pup -- the guy's only 22 or 24 now.

27. Exactly.
We've got some of our own (which is to say, progressive Usenet kooks), but Yoshida's about as famous a political kook as you can get. He's in all the best Usenet Kook directories -- he's even won prizes for his wingnuttery!

for being an extremist whacko. No doubt about it, the boy's got a gift.

35. Yeah, you gotta be pretty kooky to be too extreme
for Free Republikkk. Yoshida strikes me as a kind of Internet Michelle Malkin.

But, then, I know of a lefty Usenet kook who's probably been banned from here (if he ever saw fit to visit, which he may not have). He means well, but usually loses patience after a while and goes off -- it's why he's so well known as a kook.

6. OF COURSE I'M UNHINGED!!!
I've been watching my country turn into something like a cross between Fundamentalist Iran and the former Soviet Union with a dash of Holy Inquisition thrown in, and my television tells my I should be happy about it!

What rational person WOULDN'T become unhinged?!!

I was reading another post with this: http://stevegilliard.blogspot.com/2004/11/they-voted-for-this-mess.html

And that page was linked on there as an example of someone who's an extremist. No shit, the guy is whacko.

13. Get this: He says Kerry must squelch any challenges:
"If John Kerry had any decency, he’d.... declare that he will not support any challenge and that he thinks that claims of massive voter fraud are “utterly irresponsible and moronic conjecture.”

What I've learned so far today: somewhere in the world, there is a burbling little twerp named Adam Yoshida. If I knew him, I probably wouldn't like him. He reads our writings; I do not read his.

17. He's a typical Free Republic type idiot
Same old shit you hear from all the "morans" over at Free Republic.

I always get a kick out of the fact that I've never seen a freeper that knows how to spell moron. But then the education level of these lowlifes leaves a bit to be desired.

They'll get what they deserve. Higher state and local taxes, no retirement security, higher drug costs, etc.

They elected the oil barons, they can live with the consequences.

Hi Adam! By the way it's M-O-R-O-N. No "A" in moron, you moron.

21. I think what I find most amusing about all of this...
Edited on Tue Nov-09-04 11:21 AM by evilqueen
is the fact that they don't recognize when they've been "taken for a ride" by their own party. You've seen that map of red states. You know that conservatives own most of the multinational corporations that are registered here in the U.S. So why haven't those conservative corporate fucks helped their own base get out of the morass of poverty, bad schools, and welfare?

The fact that they fail to recognize that it's their own conservative leadership that is keeping them in the situation they have been in for decades never even occurs to them. In fact, they vote FOR it. They like being miserable as much as they like making others miserable. When all the social programs that have supported their "base" are eliminated or cut to the point of total ineffectuality, they're gonna come crying to us... only, this time, they can't blame it on Clinton, Kerry, or the Democrats.

Edited to add:
PS - Thank you to the kind, Democratic soul who paid for my membership here (I got my star!!). Without such compassion, the world will be a much harsher place.

26. Oh, who cares. I'm actually glad the right wing is marginalizing us, cuz .
... that gives those on DU (and else-blog-where) who are working on the voter fraud/glitch/whatever issue THE CHANCE TO DO THEIR WORK.

As long as the right is casting aspersions and saying we're nuts, they won't notice we're putting together the evidence of votes that were incorrectly counted -- or outright stolen. Enough votes, perhaps, to swing the election closer to our side (or all the way to our side).

So, until the recounts are in full swing in Ohio and Florida, let them think we're loonies who are just unhinged because we lots. Then we'll see who laughs last.

He has issues. I also wouldn't be surprised if he shows up on DU because you linked to his site. He's done that before.
Just don't say his name three times.

But seriously, don't worry about him. He's hopeless.

Edited on Tue Nov-09-04 12:56 PM by Capn Sunshine
How quickly those sanctimonious pricks forget their last "victory" emboldened the wackos to blow up abortion clinincs, killing and maiming people whose only crime wa seeking answers to their situations.

Oh and let's not forget Oklahoma City, where they murdered babies in a daycare center and called it "collateral damage".

The right has blood on its hands and no amount of Chistian posery will wash it off.

41. You ain't seen nothin yet
Go over to www.bajanomad.com and scroll down to OFFTOPICS. These guys are horrible. There are one or two good guys, including Nancy Drew. I can't get in anymore because I was banned for telling them to fuck off, but if you want to hassle them, register and go for it.

Also, www.bajanet.com, full of shitbirds.

By the way, if you are down this way, boycott some of their businesses:

Dave's Deli located just south of Puerto Nuevo
Gull's vacation rentals at Las Gaviotas
Do not buy ANY books or maps from www.bajanomad.com, that's their lifeblood.In addition, do not buy insurance from these people, and do not support any travel discounts or ANYTHING from them.

Thanks !
