Oh Noes!!1!! Hate Mail!!!11!

Kathleen Parker is going on about how persecuted she is for writing retarded columns. To help prove her point, she posts some of the hate mail she’s gotten.

I hate that.

Just for the recorded, I’m sure Charles Manson got hate mail. That doesn’t prove how right he was. All getting hate mail proves is that you’re able to make someone angry. On top of that, death threats only proves you made a crazy person angry, which is certainly not that hard. It doesn’t make you a martyr to make people angry; it more often than not just makes you a jerk.

  1. Frank, you need to go back and edit this one. You’re <={note spelling of the contraction “you are”} in such a lather over this one that “your” [sic] losing a grip on your <= {note spelling of the posessive] usually well written posts. And I love correcting grammar even more than gay sex!

  2. “The fact that people laugh at you proves nothing. They laughed at Aristotle, they laughed at Einstein, they laughed at Newton. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown.”

    I wish I could remember who said this but I like it.

  3. In her articles she called Reagan conservatives backwards, obsolete, a thing of the past and dismissed them as harmful to the movement (she didn’t specify but I’ll assume she meant “conservative movement” and not “my bowel movement”). It was almost as if SHE…hated…THEM.

    I remember what my grandfather once told me:

    If you’re kicking someone when they’re down, don’t be upset or surprised if they try to whack you in the nuts.

  4. The impulse to blame someone — anyone — for what went wrong last week reminds parents of when a toddler falls down. Hurt and embarrassed, he will often walk up to his mother (or caregiver, as the case may be) and slap her to shift attention and assign blame.

    WTF? I’m not sure what’s going on with toddlers in her family, but when my toddlers fall down, they walk up to their mother to get a hug, not to slap her…

  5. #8- I’m with you. If my kid had ever done that, I’d have slapped her back and given her something to cry about. When my child fell down I asked, “Are ya bleeding?” Cause unless we had to call 9-1-1 it was no big deal, and she is one tough cookie now, I assure you.

  6. #8- That’s what I thought, too. I have two nieces and a nephew and a bunch of little cousins, and not one of them has EVER done that.

    #9- My sister found out early on that her kids actually freak out a lot less when they fall down if she doesn’t make a big deal out of it. They’re tough little cookies, just like your daughter.

  7. I’m glad I’m not the only one that read the whole child falling down analogy wrong.

    I don’t think I’ve ever seen a child fall and the come and try to open up a can on their parents.

    “MOM! I’ll show you for giving me these feet I tripped over!”

    (Insert Adam West Batman fight scene here)

    Good grief.

  8. #4- It’s Carl Sagan:

    But the fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown.
