The 17 Feb 06 Edition of Most Brain Dead Letters To The Editor
Edited on Fri Feb-17-06 10:45 PM by MrScorpio
Welcome to the Friday, 17 Feb Edition of the Most Brain Dead Letter To The Editor

This is dedicated to the those wonderful people who inspire us all by not only being incredibly stupid but also display their stupidity for all of us to gaze and wonder upon, in the LTTE sections of today's newspapers.

I have point out that they really go out of their way to give us a piece of their mind.

And because of this, these folks are some of the most generous people in the world, because no matter how little they have, they're always willing to give.

Okay, one thing that right winger idiot LTTE writers love to do is quote talking points from their favorite media sources. Every day the empty heads of millions of impressionable idiots, both young and old alike, are opened up and assholes like Hannity, O'Reilly, Limbaugh, Savage and Boortz pour their highly concentrated crapola directly into their brain pans. After recieving their dose of outright lies and utter hogwash, the fools are sent out into the world to wreak havoc on the body politic. This shit works, I'm sad to say. The way this country has suffered through the last few elections is proof of this.

A prime example of this crap transfer comes from today's copy of USA Today, by a Mr. Bryan Boss of Canton, Pennsylvania. The man is proven the apt pupil, as shown by this excuse of a letter that he wrote, as a reply to an earlier commentary by the writer, Rob Borsellino, on the different approaches to Jesus Christ between Italy and the US.

Enjoy.

Don't silence Christian view on issues

After his enlightening trip to Italy, Rob Borsellino unwittingly reveals his own liberal prejudices in his commentary “What has happened to America's Jesus?” (The Forum, Monday). (Ed. "Liberal" Bashing... A good sign that you're a FOXWATCHER.)

I get his point that in Italy, though there are crucifixes everywhere and statues and paintings of Jesus on public display, he was not offended by anyone actually talking about Jesus in his presence. It seems it was very refreshing for Borsellino that no one discussed issues such as war, abortion or homosexual acts in light of biblical teachings. (Ed. I get the feeling that for you, dear Buddy, that a day without O'Liely is like a day without sunshine.)

Considering all of this, Borsellino could not bring himself to mention how different things are back in the States. “It would make America look ridiculous,” he writes. Did he share with his family members that in today's America, it would be highly controversial to see a huge painting of Jesus on the side of an apartment building that might offend non-believing passersby? It will be that way as long as the American Civil Liberties Union is still in business. (Ed. And... Uh, the ACLU went WHERE to have a picture Jesus removed from the side of an apatement building? Nowhere? Thought so.)

Did he share with his Italian relatives that there is a movement in this country to remove God from the public square — period? Away with the manger scene on the courthouse square! Stop singing those songs about faith in the school choir's spring concert! Don't wish anyone a “Merry Christmas”! Someone might be offended! (Ed. I was right! You have been using O'Liely's falafel! It must be mighty tasty.)

How nice that Borsellino, for his part, would approve of our wearing crosses and carrying rosary beads, perhaps even “crossing” ourselves in public — just as long as we keep our mouths shut about Jesus. (Ed. Actually, I think Jesus himself would mind a lot of the crap that said in his name in this country.)

Yes, Mr. Borsellino, I can see why you didn't mention how things are back in the USA. Indeed, “it would make America look ridiculous.” (Ed. Dude, you've already done your part.)

Bryan Boss

Canton, Pa.


You know, Bryan, if that's your name, you sound an awful a lot like a guy who likes to shower with Middle Eastern food. Look, I've got some advice for you, let it go, there was NEVER any "War On Christmas". It was just the figment of the imagination of a pretty sick puppy. I know that Bill's crap was mighty tasty to you, but it was nothing but a lot of empty calories. Deal with it.

Get a life, will ya?


As always thanks, Bryan, you are an inspiration to us all. :yourock:

Here's a toast to your your dead brain, Spawn Of O'Liely. :toast:

2. Brian, Jesus must be weeping over the likes of you
-- either that, or pissed as all get-out for how you and your ilk have twisted his teachings beyond recognition. I think that the little fit Jesus threw in the money-changer's temple would be nothing compared to the shit-kicking he would want to do to you and yours.

Oh, and by the way, I know this will give you nightmares, but the ACLU would also stand up for you, if your rights were being stepped on.

3. That's funny,
I've seen paintings and even statues of Jesus around-there's a big display of a graveyard of the "unborn" with a Jesus statue at one of the exits off I-55 in Cape Gerardo, MO. I gritted my teeth when I saw it, and made sure I went home another way, but it's there, it hasn't been trampled, and I'm sure the people who believe in that way of thinking go out of their way to go by it.

5. Thanks
This is completely fascinating to me.

I just have to do my part, against a rising tide of stupidity.
