Humpday Hatemail!

Just a few recent treats from the Hate Mailbag to get you over the hump... I didn't have time to write responses but I'm sure you can manage

IDIOT RACIST STUMBLES UPON VERY OLD DU PAGE, FLIES INTO RACIST RAGE, CITES MLK

Subject: A question for Auntie Pinko

Dear Pinko,

Are you a dumbass? Thanks to affirmative action the only way a white man can be accepted in an interview or for a scholarship is if he paints up. As a white male one cannot check the "minority" box and is placed at a lower spot in the list of applicants because of it; you argue that it is because whites have "never had to worry about race" and "were never denied something because of race," well one certainly has to worry about that when he can't afford to attend college doesn't he? Or since you believe that we are already at an advantage, we can show up for an interview bringing nothing but incompetence and be accepted because the process is no longer operating on the basis of competence. If a white man and a black man both apply for the same job with the same degree of education, shouldn't they both have the same chances of acceptance? According to affirmative action the answer is no just because the black man is black....What if I were to reverse to roles and say that affirmative action now dictates that the white man get the job because he is white? Now everything is changed and the law is labeled racist; its just not fair.

Im not racist and I've never cared if anyone belongs to this minority or to that minority, all I ask for is equality but today that basic right is denied to me and if I am to complain I am labeled a racist. Where is the equality in that? I have a dream that one day I could live in a country that judges ME not by the color of my skin, but by the content of MY character.

Thanks,

Tom

WHO ISN'T AFRAID OF SANTORUM? THE STAINS ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO GET OUT!

Subject: Why? So mean? Is it because you are afraid of Santorum?

UH... BUT WE AGREE WITH YOU?

Subject: How Dare You

How dare you call yourself the "Democratic Underground," when you're clearly nothing more than an industry and big union funded lobbying group. THE XL PIPELINE SUCKS. It is the most barbaric environmental idea since strip-mining. It will not create that many jobs and will violate the sovereignty of several Native American nations who are vehemently opposed to this project. WHY CAN'T WE CREATE EVEN MORE JOBS BY BUILDING SOLAR-PANEL AND WIND TURBINE PLANTS?? Everyone talks about how China is "eating our lunch," creating tons of industrial jobs for their people. Well, they're building the solar panels and wind turbines. Our only plan is to trash our beautiful continent just because we have to OBEY THE DIRTY ENERGY COMPANIES, NO MATTER WHAT. I will never visit your neanderthal website again.

Sincerely,

Beth ******, Above-Board Democrat

I'M NOT RELIGIOUS, BUT YOU DEVILS ARE GOING TO HELL!!!!

Subject: Now I know What You Mean by Democratic Underground

Among the incredible­, blatantly UNAMERICAN statements uncovered in the MEDIA MATTERS materials were:

"Simply put, the Progressiv­e (devil's) movement is in need of an ENEMY. Bush is gone, and we really don't have John McCain to kick around anymore. Filling the lack of leadership on the right, Fox News has emerged as the central ENEMY, and antagonist of the Obama admin­istration, our congressio­nal majorities­, and the Progressiv­e(Devil's) movement as a whole."

Then, "We should hire a team of trackers to stake out private and public events with Fox News anchors, hosts, reporters, and prominent contributo­rs, along with senior network and corporate staffs!"

OMG, it is you spawn of the devil that seem to be the real problem in our country. You sick twisted bastards. You cannot win in the arena of ideas so you have to resort to this despicable BULLSHIT!

I am not a religious person, but I certainly hope there is a hell. Oops, there must be, because that's where you evil bastards came from!

1. That last one was almost as funny as a teabagger at a spelling B

[Bruce Wayne]

32. That idiot forgot to capitalize the word "Up".

And he didn't even capitalize the word "And". What a maroon!

[MineralMan]

2. I love the last one, with every word capitalized.

That's either a lot of hits on the Shift key, or the guy is typing in Word and selecting Title Case before pasting. I think it's probably the former.

Thanks for posting these!

[ScreamingMeemie]

4. It means he's Series!

[ZenLefty]

36. It's Code It Has To Be Code

Some Words are Capitalized Others Are not And No Punctuation Either What Must It Mean

[Gormy Cuss]

16. Oof! n/t

[EFerrari]

15. Dear Tony

You're right. We ARE legion! No one needs a tracker to find the Fox News Team. You just have to look at where people are laughing and pointing. I'm saving this email in case you haven't already been banned from the arena of ideas.

[EFerrari]

21. Dear Ron Paul Fans **** and *

Then they might learn something.

[Zalatix]

17. Uh, who here supports the pipeline?

I never saw anyone who supports that on here.

[woo me with science]

38. I think that's why EarlG put the headline he did on it.

("UH... BUT WE AGREE WITH YOU?&quot

Most *are* against it.

To be fair, though, there have been some disgusting attempts to defend it whenever Obama has supported it - for example, when he approved the southern portion:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=439x1821075

When it inevitably goes through after the election, I am sure we will see the usual defense of this corporate wet dream of a project from the small group who defend anything this President does, from indefinite detention to this.

54. This was great to see and thanks very much for bringing it back.

That being said, I still really miss the conservative idiots pieces. I know it's a lot of work, but there's just SO MUCH material of late. Any chance, just maybe, we could have a little does of that too?
