To be clear, most of the email we receive is extraordinarily kind. (And, while we’re at it, apologies to those to whom we are, too frequently these days, unable to reply!) And then on occasion, we get something like this…
SUBJECT: Closet Rushie?
Call me a wimpy liberal, but you sure sound like you’re on Bill O’Reilly’s payroll. There’s nothing the right would like more than for people to think that people like you respresent the ideas of liberal Democrats. Your articles make Ann Coulter sound like she is both female and intelligent. Of course she does make a lot of money in her role of foul-mouthed cross dresser. Maybe it’s just all about money for you too?
Ah, yes…the money…The big bucks we bloggers rake in more than makes up for all the long hours, Fred! We suppose the secret must now be out! That donations button is a big fat cash cow, baby!!! And thanks for giving us another excuse to link to it since O’Reilly was late sending his check again this month! That bastard… (Just kiddin’, Bill! Who loves ya, baby?! See ya at the big Loofah Convention next month in Akron!)
Whaaa? Brad, you must be tired. This love-letter sounds suspiciously like our friend in the previous thread, Frankenbush, trying to sound like a liberal with his tuning fork disabled. "fmbuschhoff?"
Your level of "support" for Coulter might earn her the title of raving, evil witch-or-warlock. This guy is just yanking something, and it certainly isn’t YOUR chain.
This is the troll and your goat must not be got. Love you, Brad. Get some rest.
Another raw nerve exposed! Another big toe trodden on! The uprising continues……
Was that the whole message?
Fred is right. He is a wimpy liberal. Years of abusive FoxNews viewing has damaged part of Fred’s cerebral cortex and all of his corpus callosum. I guess T.V. viewing can be dangerously influential.
dude… did you even read this blog?
by the way, to darling peg, et al, it seems pretty clear to me that brad is having a laugh at the guy’s expense. maybe i’m missing it, but i don’t think there’s a nerve exposed… just brad poking sticks into the cages…..
That’s one strange e-mail. Mental illness, possibly.
Wow! LOL
cheers Brad!!!
What in the world is "Fred" talking about? And why does he imagine we care what Bill O’Reilly thinks about us?
One thing I’ll never understand is why people like Fred insist on giving advice to liberals. Whenever they try, they get so caught up in their own contradictions, it becomes laughable. We’re doing the right wing a favor with our postings, and we’re doing it for money? Some right-winger is paying us?
Now THAT’S a conspiracy theory.
Fred must be confused…
It’s the right-wing bloggers that get paid to have an opinion.
Stop teasing the troll Brad! Send him some of those *big bucks* and make him go away.
I wonder what Brad is doing with all those millions he’s collecting in donations? Becoming a Republican?
I kid. I’m a kidder…
Mixter
The only thing Bill O’Reilly would want to pay for is to stop exposing him and his.
Sorry for the spam, kids. Brad rocks. I know he approves.
I love blogs but… I need all you Brad Bloggers to do something. Even our Canadian brothers and sisters, and other foreign fans can help by informing their friends stuck behind the "private curtain". That’s us in the US. (damn, that’s good! take it and run with it!)
What’s next, indentured servitude and debtor’s prisons? Please. I’m asking nicely. I only do that when I am being serious. I am being serious. This is serious. From the irrepressible man on fire, Digby.
