I think Crooks and Liars has gone a bit too far

Lunatic Fringe on Valerie Plame

From: "tomchristian@juno.com" <tomchristian@juno.com>

Sent: Jul 23, 2005 9:02 PM

To: LCJohnson

Subject: Valerie Plame is just another CIA scumbag.

You really shouldn't shoot your mouth off about Valerie Plame.

She's no angel.

She's just another lying, do-nothing CIA scumbag.

She deserved to be outed.

I printed this because many right wing blogs are so fond of quickly posting comments or emails to try and paint all Democrats as traitors and other such nonsense. In that spirit I'll ask this question. Why do right wingers hate the CIA? If they hate the CIA then they hate America since the CIA is one of our most trusted instruments to fight terrorism? Why don't you email Mr. Christian and ask him why he hates America.

5. Why would that be going too far?
Face it, when you post an email to someone like that, you run the risk of having your comments made public.

Welcome to the Internet.

Seriously, one of the weapons the Insaneo-Cons have used, in their hiding behind e-mail, or fancy FREEPER handles to save themselves from scrutiny.

Screw 'em, if they don't want to debate, they should avoid the rabid, foam at the mouth Hate Mail

6. I think RWers think the CIA contains elements....
that are not "true believers". i.e. not part of the post-Reagan American conservative movement.

While both are devoted to, frankly, global domination, the goals and worldview of the two camps may be the same in some respects... but not in all.

7. "tomchristian"
right....I'm sure this is a throwaway addy that allows this idiot to hide his true ID. A true Yellow Elephant if there ever was one.
