The Omen In My Mail (Kathleen Parker)

[smb]

Kathleen Parker describes the hate mail she's been getting from the troglodytes since she pointed out that Empress Palin was walking around nekkid:

Allow me to introduce myself. I am a traitor and an idiot. Also, my mother should have aborted me and left me in a dumpster, but since she didn't, I should "off" myself.

Those are a few nuggets randomly selected from thousands of e-mails written in response to my column suggesting that Sarah Palin is out of her league and should step down.

Who says public discourse hasn't deteriorated?

The fierce reaction to my column has been both bracing and enlightening. After 20 years of column writing, I'm familiar with angry mail. But the past few days have produced responses of a different order. Not just angry, but vicious and threatening....

1. First time she's ever been the focus of Freeper wrath?

Geebus... These are your RW compatriots, hon... Wake up.

[Submariner]

2. If she is a right winger then she is being eaten by her own

Now she knows the caliber of slime she has been associating with. Good riddens.

[Wickerman]

3. She is finally seeing the dark underbelly of he Conservative beast

She has been getting reasoned, justified "hate" mail from Liberals for years. She went against a Rethuglican and she gets a small taste of the nastiest those of us who disagree with them daily.

4. Surprise, Kathleen! That's coming from your side.

We've always known how psychotic they are. It's time to for you to wake up and smell the scary, nasty shit your friends on the right are shoveling, hon.

[Mabus]

5. And after everything the GOP and their toadies (including her) have done, she's surprised?

Is she just learning that her "public" consists of mostly dim-witted, undereducated morons? LOL.

She better call a whambulance because she's getting a crash course in corresponding with the people she's been talking to and it ain't going to be pretty.

6. Is it possible that conservative women who had to work

hard to achieve success resent McCain picking such an unqualified women as his VP? Palin is a slap in the face to women who have achieved success due to their own efforts.

7. Perhaps someone needs to write her...

And tell her the complete and unabridged story of Andy Stephenson.

[hatrack]

8. Hey, that's your BASE, Kathleeen!! That's your AUDIENCE!! Have you not been paying attention?

Can you really be that obliviously world-beatingly STUPID?

[lumberjack_jeff]

9. Life was easier when you only insulted intelligent people.

Hell has no fury like "teh stupid" scorned.

[yellerpup]

10. Oh, for the day that they turn on radio analcyst, Rush!

He'd make pretty nasty eatin', though.

[Vanje]

11. Those are your people , Kathleen

Say hello to your peeps

[intheflow]

12. Nice to see her give a shout-out to the Dixie Chicks.

It would be interesting to see what, if anything, she wrote anything about them at the time.

[K8-EEE]

13. Kathleen, meet your lovely readers

Is this the first time she noticed they were insane?

[Doctor_J]

14. Liberals and Dems get death threats every day. What's she bitching about?

:shrug:

[Doodler71]

15. No one told her that the WR was cannabalistic

Yes, they eat their own... because "you're either with us or against us".

[Bubbha Jo]

16. The closer the election gets and the wider apart the percentages grow,

the meaner these sort will get. I truly wouldn't be surprised to hear of a few deaths at their hands while in a political rage.

[OakCliffDem]

17. I would say that qualifies for hate mail

[ixion]

18. The fact that language itself has been fractured is now becoming apparent to the MSM

I'm seeing a world in our not too distant future where these languages have diverged to such a point that these two partisan camps will no longer be able to decipher what the other is saying. We're very close to that place now, IMO.
