Someone at the Democratic Undergound has called on DUers to spam me. Here is a perfectly typical — grammatically, intellectually and in all other ways – sample of the sort of thing I get from this crowd (asterisks mine, of course):
Subject: are you a bush a**hole? how many a**holes does bush got?what’s with the tapeworm act jona? are you nutz?confess, repent, obey. mr streicher must be proud of yallkeep up the goot workyour implacable watchergeorge (bushless)
Me: Every now and then when I say something disparaging of DU, I get email from some well-intentioned liberal complaining that I paint with too broad a brush. There are nice and decent people over there too, they say. This is no doubt true. But aside from the plain evidence of what sort of comments dominate over there, I think a lot of people don’t appreciate how the above email is the sort of thing that generally comes from such swamps (sometimes, it’s much worse). Perhaps this might shed some light on why I have the impression that I do.
