I’m really starting to wonder whether this level of stupidity and batsh*ttery by the Right — as they watch their political fortunes swirl the bowl because of Bush’s legacy — has completely untethered them from reality. Take a look at this unbelievable nonsense by Bill O’Reilly, who went on a tirade about the fact that Markos Moulitsas (Kos of Daily Kos) has a Newsweek column, and that O’Reilly was embarrassed that Markos ran a clip of the Faux News blowhard going ape on camera during his old Inside Edition days.
What’s even more entertaining is the bile O’Reilly’s fans unleashed into Markos’ mailbox — out comes the violent schooyard faggotry taunts from the intellectual giants. A sampling is below the fold.
In Kos’s mailbag:
You are a queer little fucking retard!! Stay gay you cock sucker!!Hey Fagg, Go let your Gay lover buttfuck you to death and quit taking up bandwidth!
You classless fucktard. You’re the fucking problem with this country you cocksucking asshole. I hope some one beats the living shit out of you and that Mahler3 scumbag soon. Drop fucking Dead!
Markos commented:
Hmmm, a bizarre obsession with homosexuality, as if being gay is bad and being called gay is an insult (it’s not and it’s not). Mix it in with hatred toward my Latino heritage (some of it even directed at my one-year-old daughter). Some standard-issue threats. Unhealthy anger levels. Fake bravado. And, without a doubt, an unprecedented level of hatred.But my favorite is this one:
Markos is a pig,and a certain secret society is watching you. And we dont like liberal Pigs like you, and the people that read this shit.The left are few,the right are many, and Pigs like Liberals will never run America.And your boy Obama is a Pig like the rest of you scum.
You know who else is a member of a “secret society” which doesn’t like people like me (immigrants) and Obama (black)?
David Duke.
Bill O’Reilly and his illiterate fans are truly comic relief.
Those are real pinheads. I receive equally entertaining mail, though none from O’Reilly’s freaks (though there could be overlap - since we’re talking about the 20% hardcore Bush supporters who probably spend good Cheetos-stained shirt time on Free Republic). A pastor named Billy Ball sent me this greeting for July 4th:
And he has me on his calendar — when Valentine’s Day rolled around, he sent this:

Hey. I can be an internet expert too !!!
Wait, isn’t Karl Rove also a frequent contributor at Newsweek, now?
My favorite thing about right wing media figures is that they are so megalomanaiacal that they actually think they are officially entitled to dominate the media, and the presence of any opinion that clashes with theirs represents corruption, propaganda, and/or censorship. And they actually take this on an individual level, going on tirades against the few token liberals that have been given space in the media over the last couple years.
Holy shit, they really do use Comic Sans. I thought that was a conceit PZ Myers thought up to make them look even bugfuck dumber than they really are…
How responsible is a blog for what their idiot fans say comment section, exactly?
I guess the audience they attract reflects at least a little bit on what the author writes - for example, the commentators at the blog Pandagon are all attractive, hip, good looking and intelligent people - but they can’t be THAT responsible.
Man, Christians are just so Christian these days…
It’s one of the things that makes me wish I was wrong about the whole atheism thing, just so I could enjoy all the hatemongers going, “Oh, shit, you mean he was serious about the ‘loving your neighbor’ stuff?!”
Yeah, the only thing I hate about being an atheist is that if Jesus was real, and this whole ’saved by faith, not deeds’ thing is also real, I’ll be spending eternity with most of Jesus’ fan club… That would be sort of a bummer.
Awwww, isn’t it cute when talk radio hosts bitch, moan, whine, and tantrum because a blogger has achieved some modicum of legitimacy in print?
I mean, really. Who do these idiots think they are in the food chain?
I don’t know why (and this will probably be the end of me someday), but the truly wingnutty are fun to fuck with.
It literally provides hours of entertainment. I wish it was my full time job.
What’s a Hesh?
Oh yeah, and note how these ‘what God says’ types ignore all of the surrounding stuff about mixed fiber clothing, shrimp, pork, keeping kosher, etc. Yep.
I’ve never heard “heshes”. WTH is that?
urbandictionary.com says a hesh is an unkempt skateboarder. Still don’t get it.
Along with clowns, a hesh must be their latest fetish crush that they are resisting by turning to the bible.
The only thing I can think of is that “heshes” is a clumsy and misspelled reference to Anne Heche.
Hesh from Sealab 2021 (as voiced by mc chris)?
“Hesh wants married sex!”
Yeah, the Great and Mighty Urban Dictionary is failing me. I went there to find out what a “hesh” was so I didn’t look dumb having to ask, but since all the entries there have to do with skateboarding, snowboarding, or 80s heavy metal slang, I’m not feeling the love.
I suspect Pastor Ball meant he/shes.
Didn’t O’Reilly used to complain regularly about the vile comments on Daily Kos? Does he know where those vile comments are coming from?
I wonder how many of these jerkoffs realize that Kos is a Gulf War vet?
Molly, they don’t care. He’s a liberal, so that means he probably cowered in a fox hole the whole time. Their brains would explode if you tried to force them to comprehend that many liberals serve in the Army.
For some reason, the funniest thing about that e-mail was the “If you’d like to read my Bible tract, please e-mail me … if not, you’re a BIBLEPHOBE!”
It reminds me how thin the veneer of sanity is over most of my fellow Americans (and it happens on the left, too).
Just to be clear, it’s the sheer crazy that happens from the left, too, not the exact content of the crazy. If you don’t think so, try debunking the healing properties of crystals sometime and see the spittle start to fly.
Yes, but the loony element of the left sure doesn’t have the malice the right does. The right wants control; the left wants freedom. Crystals aren’t going to hurt anybody unless you chuck them at somebody. The Righties are scary.
If you don’t think so, try debunking the healing properties of crystals sometime and see the spittle start to fly.
I have never seen a spittle-filled argument on a left/liberal political blog about the healing properties of crystals. Not since the summer of 2001 or so. I’ve seen heated arguments over religion and the South and Amanda Marcotte/mean ol’ feminists and Ralph Nader and vegetarianism and actually whether or not you can call yourself “political” when you don’t actually participate in the process, but I’ve never seen a violent debate on the healing properties of crystals. Tell me, where does the dowsing contingent fit into this quarrel? What about “The Secret” people? I’d kinda like to see one of these fights.
As for “he/she”, I hadn’t heard that in 20 years. Once upon a time, a transient of apparently indeterminate gender - which probably meant a skinny dude with long hair - wandered through my little Northeast Mississippi hometown. From my 10-year-old mindset, the idea that some dude wanted to dress up like a woman was less disturbing than how friggin’ freaked out the vast majority of my fellow stump-jumpers were over the guy’s apparent desire to look pretty once in a while. ‘Course, my mother was a basketball coach and basically wore gym pants and t-shirts exclusively, so what do I know.
I don’t know if this has already been posted elsewhere on Pandagon since I’m hopelessly behind on my blog reading, but the Bill O’Rielly Dance Mix is priceless. Definitely NSFW, though.

And don’t forget, Pam, if you don’t forward this e-mail to 10 of your closest friends within the next 24 hours, TERRIBLE THINGS WILL HAPPEN TO YOU! OMG!!!1!!1! Your dog will burn down and hour house will run away….I mean, your house will burn down and your dog will run away. Your best friend won’t like you any more. You will get painful, burning sores on your bum and your hair will fall out. Oh, and you’ll develop leprosy (that would explain the sores)……..
I have never seen a spittle-filled argument on a left/liberal political blog about the healing properties of crystals.
Sorry, bad example. I should have said “vaccination.” And if you missed the spittle-filled arguments about how vaccine companies are plotting against us and vaccines DO TOO cause autism so there!, you can scroll down a few posts and see the 170+ comments.
(Just in case you’re reading, Phoenix — no, I don’t mean you.)
I love how Mary Katharine Ham is listed as an “Internet Expert” in the clip… She writes for frickin’ Townhall.com. Why can’t they put that up there? Oh right… its Fox News.
HESH = High Explosive Squash Head - a round which spalls shrapnel inside a tank by setting off a shaped explosion on the armour outside. The man was obviously objecting to anti-tank weapons.
I love how anyone who doesn’t agree with Billy Ball’s view of the world is intolerant.
Someone needs a dictionary.
It’s late and everyone’s left the party…but what is it about Internet loons and weird typography? Even were I not a militantly agnostic commie pinko the multi-colored fonts are enough to make we want to stay away from “Pastor: Billy Ball.”
I think HESHE means He-She, no?
