Bad GMD …

(This is just too damned funny to not highlight. – promoted by JulieWaters)

GMD is stridently left of center, to such an extent that its “editors” and commentators expend great effort trying to outdo each other in demonizing, denigrating or marginalizing those Vermonters who disagree with or question their opinions. If this were merely individual citizens having an online discussion about people they revile, it would be just another easily ignored extremist hate site.

  2. I was just about to post a diary awarding Douglas the world record for Stupidest Political Argument for his suggestion that the debate about the timing of the primary has something to do with politics when I see this item eclipse the Douglas story.

    I guess we need to split the category into professional and amateur divisions.

  3. Guess that means we haven’t been posting about race or civil rights lately. He’s historically big on the unfettered power of government authorities to do whatever they want whenever they want, particularly to African Americans.

    But he saves some of his real greatest hits for the newspaper sites, where he goes after teh gays:

    The Vermont Supreme Court did not mandate that homosexuals enjoy all the same rights as married couples in all states, merely Vermont. The law met the demands of the court’s decision.

    As to the supposed courage of our legislature, it is hardly courageous to kneel before the strident progressive mob in Vermont.

    So while supporters of various progressive initiatives dominate the sidewalks in Montpelier with their signs, hemp clothing, and unjustified sense of self worth and entitlement, I have to settle for writing letters.

    You also might want to see someone about that mental tic you have of writing “Make a note of it” repeatedly. It smacks of obsessive compulsive disorder, and kind of reminds me of “Tommy Two Times” from Goodfellas.

  4. This guy doesn’t even merit response ink.  We get these kinds of letters in the Messenger all the time.  At this point I am so used to being called names by local crack-pots writing letters to the Messenger, that I don’t even take notice.  He is in the company of a rag-tag collection of extremely frustrated reactionaries who can’t quite accept the fact that America is changing demographically, and that those of his stripe represent a critically endangered (if highly vocal) species.

  6. You read it and imagine it being spoken by Bill O’Reilly, complete with all the smugness, finger-pointing, and raised eyebrows that the Falafel King can always muster.
