Check out this dumbass freeper's response to one of my posts on DU.
Yesterday, I posted an interview that I did with the Marin Independent Journal.

It was a very small part of a long, interesting article on the tension between the Parties, here in Marin (I was the only Dem interviewed).

This morning, this email was in our website's inbox. Check out how the cretin totally distorted what I said. What a bunch of chickenshits.

"Dear Mr. Wright, I enjoyed reading about your emotional and foolish decision to mix politics and business in the MIJ on Sunday. It puzzles me as to why you would choose to alienate a significant portion of your potential clientele. I suspect it's because business is so good in this recession that you can proudly announce that Republicans are not welcome. Do you also have shop policy to prohibit sales to American Independents, Libertarians, Peace and Freedom members, and those who are undecided and unsure on which party their political viewpoints align with theirs? It was said to read your poor choice of words in describing how you feel. You used the word "warfare" in a violent form by insinuating that you want to punch people in the face. I am curious as to why you choose such an immature analogy that suggests emotional instability? It appears you may be drawing upon some pent-up emotional energy from your childhood or an anger management problem. A more appropriate use of the term "warfare" would have been "political warfare". Punching and school-yard fighting don't play a role in intellectual political discussions. At least they shouldn't. Perhaps you have been led to believe differently. The United States of America was founded on the principal of the right to speak your opinion and beliefs openly and to not feel threatened or intimidated. Your viewpoints and anger against those who don't share your narrow minded opinions would be more at home in another country. One where people must all share the same opinions and beliefs and will be imprisoned and subjected to violent treatment for expressing their own thoughts. Sincerely, G A B*****r A Marin County art lover & proud Republican who boycotts (our Galleries)"


"a significant portion of your potential clientele". Yeah right, Buster. Sorry, but we don't carry either crayon art or "Jesus Rays" Kinkaids.

"One where people must all share the same opinions and beliefs and will be imprisoned and subjected to violent treatment for expressing their own thoughts." You know, Hot Rod, I must have missed something, because I do not recall saying anything remotely like that.

Sir, I am honored to be boycotted by the likes of you. And, G A, if you are reading this, give me a ring and let me know. That way, I won't have to waste valuable time by responding to your drivel.

Yours,
Tom

PS, Mr Collector, you might want to work on your grammar, spelling, and punctuation.

4. You better believe it.
But we rarely get them in our Galleries.

The vast majority of the people that walk through the door are absolute treasures.

5. Pretty big assumption
He is pretty far off on the statement that anyone can say anything they want without feeling threatened.... In my world a lot depends on where you say it, what you say and when you say it... say the wrong thing at the wrong time and in the wrong tone of voice in many places and you will at the very least get a fat lip.. We do have freedom of speech and freedom of religion but there are two sides to both of those freedoms... they are freedom from some speech and freedom from religion
