The paper had an article about Arizona's SB 1070 (www.greeleytrib.com). This responding comment was posted to the online edition:

"When we let people cross our boarders and let them say english is not there language so they want us to change it so they don't holler discrimination ,or come over here and burn our american flag and put there's up or fly ours upside down under there's I am sorry but allot of us have fought to hard for this country for illegal's to come here to tell us how to run this country . If they come here they must be treated the same as the Germans and Japanese and all the others that came here they all had to speak our language's and say PLEDGE OF ELEGANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA not mexico or any other country,but the U.S.A."


Amazing. And more than a little scary.

3. You made that up

Nobody is that damned stupid.

Well, wait, lots of idiots did vote the 2nd time for bush.

4. Good God.

[Vickers]

5. Personally, I think a Pledge of Elegance would be BRILLIANT!

:spank:

[Fumesucker]

6. Sure reads like snark to me..

For one thing there's not enough actual misspellings, just using the wrong word.

Keep Poe's Law in mind, it fits lots of places.

10. I agree. Yet...

This author has been at it for a couple of years: to wit,

It would appear that this author is possibly a most dedicated 'poe'-seur. Why perform this charade for years, though?

[Fumesucker]

13. Do you remember Operation Mind Crime?

OMC posted on DU for years, turns out he was a Freeper mole and when he *finally* got TSed he went back to FR and bragged about how he snowed everyone here.

OMC rubbed me the wrong way very much but there were more than a few DUers who really liked him.

[xocet]

14. Yes...

I do recall that particular individual.

It just seems a bit of a self-defeating effort, in terms of the expended time, to keep that sort of thing going for more than a few months; there would have to be a lot more than just a 'gotcha' moment involved for the effort to be worth it. I suppose if one had no life or were bored to tears daily, being a Poe for years could seem worthwhile.

[Fumesucker]

21. I've seen wingnut spoofs go on for a long time on other boards..

There's one called Drive By Wisdom on balloon-juice that's been going on for a while and there was one called Darryl that was there for a very long time.

Then there was Electro Robot on Salon, he's come back under any number of different names and I'm pretty sure he's still there under one name or another.

16. IMBETTINGHE'SSTILLHERE

in another disguise

definitely got that impression when the gusher first erupted





see i did that w/out calling anyone out

[Fumesucker]

20. Ah dunno..

OMC's style was pretty distinctive..

I think it would be hard for him to change enough not to be recognized..

[greyl]

35. I believe that "admission" was a hoax perpetrated by a conservative asshole. nt

[Sheepshank]

36. well that's easy to explain

"For one thing there's not enough actual misspellings, just using the wrong word."

he used spell check

[surrealAmerican]

37. Perhaps, but this is also what happens when ...

... a semi-literate person uses a spell-checker.

[Jamastiene]

7. That poster much think we have one fabulous flag if he wants

elegance pledged to it.

[drm604]

8. Even if you ignore the grammar and spelling it's stupid.

How many undocumented Mexicans burn our flag or fly it upside down? How many of them are speaking out and trying to tell us how to run our country? The people we're talking about aren't here to make political statements. They're here looking for work and they try to keep their heads down and not draw attention to themselves.

I can't even figure out what the writer wants. Do they want to send them back? Do they want to round them up and force them to speak English and recite the Pledge of Allegiance? Do they want to bomb their cities or herd them into internment camps (like we did with the Germans and Japanese)? Do they even know what they want? :shrug:

17. wonder what the Pledge of Elegance would be like?

I guess Tim Gunn could write it.

19. LESSON: Don't online LTTE while drunk!

I wish I had a "dallar" for every stupid, ignorant thing this commenter posted and/or misspelled. :)

[treestar]

22. They shuld speek are langwage

And say are pledge of elegance if they want to live here. :rofl:

[4lbs]

23. Ah yes, I get it now. The first thing that Mexican illegals want to do when they reach the US

is burn the flag and yell discrimination.

Because after all, when you are illegal and new in a country, it's always a good idea to draw the law enforcement's attention to yourself by doing such activities. :sarcasm:

[MineralMan]

24. The Pledge of Elegance

I pledge elegance to the flag
Of the United Colors of Benetton,
And to the primary colors
For which it stands.
One ensemble, cool as heck,
Very visible, with
Jeans, tops, and sweaters for all.

[xchrom]

25. Fabulous! nt

[MineralMan]

26. I know. Isn't it, though?

:rofl:

[xchrom]

27. i'm printing that up and wearing it next i go shopping! nt

[MineralMan]

28. I love it!

[sufrommich]

29. That has got to be satire. nt

[mimitabby]

30. ELEGANCE.. I love it!

Yesterday in the NYTimes was a discussion about the dumber someone is, the smarter they think they really are... scary!

[Ignis]

32. What do you think of public education in America?

Personally, I think it would be a good idea.

[Jack Rabbit]

33. I suppose we could make English the official national language . . .

. . . and then see if they ask this guy for his papers in Arizona.

[MorningGlow]

34. Friends don't let freepers blindly use spellcheck

Ironic the poster is complaining about people not speaking English. What the heck langwidge is his/her post, anyway?
