Out of our you-know-where

by Gordon Ames, Dec. 19, 2006   PERMANENT LINK

Harpy Christmas, you brain-damaged God-mocking America-hating terrorist-loving soldier-spitting surrender monkeys. In the new year, I hope you finish second grade and pull your head out of your you-know-where.

For an insult to sting, it must be offered by someone whose opinions matter to the recipient. I would suggest, then, cordially, that you provide some reason your opinions should matter to us. To begin, you might indicate what article, dialogue, or principle you dispute from our website, and why.

I'm disgusted

by De, Nov. 16, 2006   PERMANENT LINK

I'm disgusted. After doing an online search and looking for information about my recently departed friend, Jeffrey, I came upon your "Stinky Badges" column which reported his untimely death and reflected on the tragedy by saying, "fuck 'im."

Well, Hellen and Harry, fuck you. Fuck making "humorous" news based on a personal tragedy.

And fuck your online paper.

De      
 
There's nothing "humorous" about it, and we weren't kidding. In my original comments I typed twice that your friend's demise was sad, and of course and obviously it remains sad, but let's step into the real world:

Your friend committed an armed robbery and then led police on a dangerous high-speed chase that easily could have injured or killed innocent people.

My condolences on losing your friend. Yet I wonder how cordial and polite would be your response if he'd been a stranger to you, and a friend of yours had been among the many people endangered by his actions.


Helen & Harry
 

Thank you for your response.

Regardless of whatever it is you may think about the danger of his actions, I still find it inappropriate to comment on the goings-on surrounding that situation in such a flippant manner.

Typically, "news" is meant to be informative, and it seems to me that you have been grossly uninformed and misinformed in the facts surrounding this event, which makes your report all the more abhorrent.

Perhaps it's time we step into the real world and and accept that whatever it is we think know, it is still just our opinion and may not, indeed, be fact. What you reported is not "news" concerning a stinky badge. It's an opinion column based on dis-information.

De      
 
Dear stranger, we believe in freedom of speech, which includes the right to be flippant, but if we've been too flippant we'll apologize. We know nothing at all about this matter beyond what was reported in the Reading Eagle. We didn't know your friend, we wouldn't judge his entire life by his last day, and it's not our intent to re-open your painful memories.

The newspaper's account, though, gave the impression that whatever your friend's better qualities, he went out like a jackass, and thus certainly deserved a flippant "Fuck 'im."

If we've been grossly un-informed, or misinformed, or there was dis-information in the paper's report as you say, please, I ask you seriously and sincerely to set the record straight. Was there no bank robbery, no high-speed chase?


Helen & Harry
 

Indeed, there was a robbery. Indeed, there was a chase. I am not saying what he did was moral. However, much like a lie of omission, it is not what you reported that illustrates you as ignorant, but what you have no idea about. I suppose it's easy to judge when you have no idea what actually happened. Sorry, but local newspapers in shitty small towns aren't always the most reliable source of thorough news. Nice investigating.

I, too, believe in free speech. What a stupid thing to say to me. But just because you have the freedom doesn't mean that what you are saying is right or even appropriate.

Get bent.

De      
 
Infuriating a grieving stranger was never our intent. I'd apologize if I could find something to apologize for, but in three rounds of rudeness you've offered nothing that calls into question the facts of the matter or alters our opinion. We wish you well, and we stand by what we said in the first place.

The punishment you have earned

by Norm Haworth, Oct. 7, 2006   PERMANENT LINK

I read the tratorous and vulgar article "[expletive] George W Bush". To you I say that the time for such stupidity as your's will end. Enjoy this impish disrespect while you can. The remaining few obsticles are soon to be behind us, punishment will be delivered. The punishment you have earned but accept my apolgies in advance if I cannot be able to be present as the juice is switched up. Your's is not the only deserved end we will celebrate.

Sorry, there are Bugs Bunny/Road Runner reruns on channel 27, so we have no time today to be afraid of your cowardly, un-American threats.

HAHAHAHAHA

by Bill von Besser, Oct. 5, 2006   PERMANENT LINK

Hi Trolls,

Just wanted to see if you two idiots still believe in the fantasy of human induced "Global Warming". I'm sure you are, after all, there is still no cure for stupid. HAHAHAHAHA

Bill von Besser      
b.vonbesser@mchsi.com      
 
Yes sir, having read numerous articles in scientific journals concerning global warming, we have accepted the overwhelming evidence. We have also, sadly, seen enough evidence to conclude that stupidity is incurable, and we cordially ask you not to send any more evidence.

Islam spin doctors

by Tom Farmer, Sept. 5, 2006   PERMANENT LINK

No evidence? You obviously haven't looked very far. The leaders of this cult of hate openly declare death to all "infidels" in their statements on T.V. all over the middle east. Our so called journalists then are shocked to learn that terrorists are anti-semetic. Murder and oppression are common but our press tells us that the cult is really peace loving. We have documents that clearly show the terrorists are sufferinf from low moral and complain about getting their butts kicked whenever they have to engage with our military or security forces in Iraq rather than killing easy civiilian targets. Your site promotes more lies and offers aid to an enemy that wants to kill YOU too. Morons must love it here.

Tom Farmer      
tfmust@comcast.net      
 
You seem very bothered, but we literally don't know what you're talking about. It would be helpful if you would explain what article, column or comment you're responding to.

You claim we've lied or offered "aid to an enemy." Perhaps in your next note you'll cite some evidence to support this — a sentence, a paragraph, a page we've published, or something, anything we've written or linked to that's either factually incorrect or provides some form of assistance for "an enemy."

We're on the edge of our seats, awaiting this further information.

You are all in sane

by Steve Roe, Sept. 2, 2006   PERMANENT LINK

Hey Idiots,

You make me sick. I am sure you probably wont place this on your websites. I have never read such a bunch of crap before in my life. Are you people Christians? If you claim to be don't you know you should be praying for our leaders in this nation not trying to destroy them by placing all the lies on this webpage. Obviously you are all a bunch of Democrats or Communists trying to undermine the real truth. You really make me sick. I hope that someday you will come to your senses and take this crap off the internet. You are all in sane and if you don't like this country that you live in you should move to the middle east and become Muslims. Have a nice day. I will pray that your mind returns to you someday. May the Lord Jesus Christ reveal the truth to you someday soon. Thanks for your time.

Steve Roe      
srroe@rushmore.com      
 
You've said or implied five times that we're liars — without citing any lie or mis-statement of fact you've found on our website. I'm sure your next note will correct this oversight, and explain exactly where we've gotten the facts wrong.

Anti-this, anti-that, anti, anti, anti ... anti-America

by Sam Thomas Hart, July 6, 2006   PERMANENT LINK

Like most of the whineing liberals you hate George W Bush. You can't stand old-fashioned American principals and values, you want America to lose the war, and all you have to offer is a long list of the things you oppose, anti-this, anti-that, anti, anti, anti ... anti-America. Are you just stupid or actively allined with the terrorists? Either way the solution is a firing squad.

Sam Thomas Hart      
samthomashart@hotmail.com      
 
We are not aligned with terrorists, America is not at war, and execution is not yet the legal response for criticizing the President, although I'm sure that's on your political agenda.

Your note is so full of such generic lies, I doubt you've read anything on our website. Here's a good starting point, but I'll settle for evidence that you've read any article on this website. After you've taken ten minutes to read something, anything we've ever written or published, please show us our factual or philosophical errors, and we'll consider your points. Until then, we'll consider you pointless.

Nashing your teeth over reality

by Masked Man, May 11, 2006

I laughed my ass off at your "Cutbacks coming" as you potray your fuckup self as somehow marterred as the market delivers its verdict that "Unknown News" sucks. You pleafd for donations get none plead for advertisers have none pretend that your fuckup whining makes a difference and as reduced to poverty by your own inbillity to earn a living you go to bad-actor excess nashing your teeth over reality. What an asshole fuckup. The reality is nobody but your fellow fuckup communists is interested in your retarded ante America ante war politics blame America editorials and pro-sex pro-abortion pro-sodomy pro-satin spitting on the troops. Most Americans are patriots love their country and don't like traitors like you so hooray as cutbacks coming Enjoy your povarty it is well deserved!

Masked Man

My reply to your email bounced back, so I understand that you're "masked." But in what sense are you a man?

I'd be ashamed to have sent the email you sent. My family's values were far, far from perfect, but my parents gave me a civilized upbringing. I don't send anonymous vulgarities to strangers.

When I disagree with someone, I explain what I disagree with and why. That minimal level of honest discourse is above and beyond you, and your misspelled insults about things we've never said and don't believe don't mean diddly to me.

Yet another left-loony site

by Patrick Millius, Mar. 6, 2006

outside your claim to support the right to self defense, Your site smacks of CPUSA. I was expecting a breath of fresh air, not the fetid pantings of yet another lefty-loonie site.

Newsflash: the ills of the world are not the fault of the U.S.!

Patrick M.            
What you were expecting is not my concern. We're not here to please you, we don't run advertisements promising "a breath of fresh air," and of course, we've never said or implied that the ills of the world are all America's fault.

You'd have to be intellectually dishonest, though, to maintain that none of the world's ills are America's fault. Or to pretend that "America's fault" has not increased in recent years. As Americans, we're concerned about this, but to remain blind to such facts you can simply click elsewhere.

Hysterical about black helicopters

by John K., Jan. 8, 2006

Stumbled across your website tonight, found it hysterical. Now I know where those black helicopters land at night.

Say hello to Art Bell for me....lol

John K.      
john_forge_kerry@yahoo.com      
Our website, of course, has nothing to say about Art Bell or black helicopters.

It’s very easy to offer ridicule, so much more difficult to actually think, many people never do.

What a "patriotic fervor" you have, Mr Blaidon. How convincing your arguments, how inarguable your correctness. You must be very proud of the nation you're constructing, where America used to be.

When we publish incoming emails, we usually edit out the sender's last name, email address, or anything else that would tend to uniquely identify the author (if we slip up, please let us know).

Please don't send attachments or other cr*p we don't want.

If you're trying to reach us but getting no reply, it's probably because you've sent us cr*p we don't want, so we're filtering your emails into the trash, unopened and unread.
