Wingnut sighting!

In response to Monday’s post on Hillary Clinton, Tim1 writes:

youre a dipshit. the idea that anyone who says anything bad about hillary is pure and holy and anyone who defends her is sullied and acting disgraceful is dumber than dumb…jeeze – yes go vote for someone else…fuck you we will have the numbers (we undersand the math side of this stuff a hell of a lot better than you or the revered kos) but dont worry – youlll have nader to vote for again…so you will be able to consider yoursel unsullied.

I was hoping this would happen. So…did I attract a pro-Hillary psycho? Or a Republican nut case who wants her to be the Democratic nominee because she’ll be easier to defeat?

Going by the blind hatred against Ralph Nader, I suspect Republican. Also, the commenter lacks even elementary writing skills yet manages to use the word “unsullied” and the phrase “sullied and acting disgraceful” seems closer to the rhetoric used by hatred-spewing pseudo-Christians. This person may be following instructions to insert key talking points into his own incoherent rant.

Before anyone accuses me of rampant paranoia, recently Fox News and their Republican masters attempted to smear Barack Obama with the madrassa lie and then blame the attack on Hillary Clinton. Perhaps this nut is trying to drum up a fight between the supporters of Democratic candidates.

Any way you cut it, the letter is worth its weight in humor gold. That combination of ignorance and arrogance . . . sweet.

    Anyone who starts their arguments with erudite and thought provoking statements like ‘you’re a dipshit’ is obviously coming unarmed to a battle of wits. That kind of stupid amuses me.

    Ah, wingnut trolls, gotta love ’em. I truly believe that there are imbeciles in both parties, but the repubs are just far more aggressive about it.

    FWIW, I think HC is beatable, but I’m not convinced by anyone, yet. I’m still waiting to see how things pan out. I figure I’ll never get a president who reflects my values (the closest so far is poor, little Dennis Kucinich), so why get het up about anything so early in the game?

    And no, I didn’t vote for Nader. Mrs. Nator did, and she has apologized profusely (not that it made a difference in our state).

    All this notwithstanding, however, this does not rule out that you are still a dipshit. ;o)

  3. Just askin’… Timl and variations thereof are pretty common handles out on them thar Intarwebs – did he use 1923 as part of his email address? If he did, then he’s a wingnut. If not, it’s near impossible to tell from Google.

    No “1923,” PS. Here’s all the info we have:

    Give the man some love 😉

  6. Yeah, he looks like he might be a rabid Hillary partisan – I see pro-Hillary letters to Salon from a Tim Howe, for instance, going back to 2004…

    He gets no love from me 😉

  7. BTW, this Boston Globe article makes for an interesting follow-up. (via Atrios)
