In response to my first Blade Blog post, I received some hate mail! And it’s … drumroll … amazing!
Subject: Whenever you criticize the right, you’re just plain wrong!
Ann Coulter is right about everything. If you disagree with her, you’re probably misinterpreting something she said. You’re missing her point. And like most liberal DUHmocrats, most topics are beyond your comprehension to begin with. You should just be happy that the republicans around you are picking up the tab on nearly everything you enjoy in life! If you truly want to get a better understanding of the world around you, you ought to actually read Ann’s books cover-to-cover and look into the many subjects she covers. I didn’t say she’s right about everything without a full understanding of the subjects.
You took offense that she spent time on the teletubby “thing” – well, it was huge when it happened and liberals laughed, joked and mocked Falwell about it. Truth is, Falwell was right. And in spite of children not understanding what was going on, many adults didn’t either. It’s all a big joke and Ann understands it all. I don’t think you do though.
Subject: At least get your facts straight.
You hate Mr. Falwell, and are basking with glee of his death. Fair Enough.
However you are mistaken in your mocking of his statements in regard to Tinky Winky. As most are sadly.
Being that you are an editor, can you not at least check your facts before you print (type) them?
Jerry Falwell was only parroting what was already reported by CNN, The Village Voice and The Washington Post.
CNN reported over a year before Mr. Falwell said anything on the matter, “The Teletubbies also have a following among the gay community. Tinky Winky, who carts around a red handbag but speaks with a male voice, has become something of a gay icon.”
And around the same time The Village Voice reported, “The Tinky Winky character was supposed to be Gay”; not to mention The Washington Post who described Tinky Winky as, “next year’s Ellen DeGeneres.”
Funny how these same outlets a year or so later mocked him(as you are now), and called him a fool for his statements.
Do you treat all your subject matter this way, or did you just hate the man’s politics so much, that facts are inconvenient?
Sure, other people said that Tinky Winky was gay. Those people weren’t homophobes! When they said that, it wasn’t real, it was humourous, it was for fun. When Jerry Falwell points to the specifics of Tinky Winky’s outer appearance to chastise him as GAY, he’s serious. He thinks Tinky Winky has sex with men. Tinky Winky doesn’t even have genitalia, dude.
