After Obama clinched the nomination and I followed Hillary's lead to support him, the hate started coming in from Hillary supporters... "you are a traitor and a slime sucking person, hope god saves a special place in hell for you. obama sucks like you." - A.L.
"Since I will never visit your site again, I shall speak frankly. You make me sick. (I would rather say this to you: @#@#&%*, but I'd rather not.) Nice headline Taylor. It's been discounted by the campaign. And yet you have it up there saying she'll take VP if offered. *#!@ you." - SN
"...given your recent born-again attitude about obama and your inane reasoning for supporting hillary, every time i see your email - your name - in my inbox i about blow a gasket. for the sake of my health, please remove me immediately. i hope you come to your senses, but given the fact that you were a reagan democrat (which i just recently found out, otherwise i would never have signed up for your blog), it's not likely. i guess it's all about money first, then party, then country. too bad. i kind of liked what you had to say - when THAT was getting you traffic. karma's a bitch, m'dear, hope you're ready." - J.
"....are you giving up on Senator Clinton? And if so why and you willing to through in the towel so easily? The media and the Democratic party need to answer for the way they have treated her." - anon.
After Clinton won Indiana, a state bordering Obama's own and that he bragged he'd win, with North Carolina a double-digit victory for Obama, which was predicted for weeks on end, this is an example of what I got from Obamabots in droves: "CACKLE FOR ME NOW BITCH!!!!!" Obama's fans, you stay classy now.
Now this is a first. Bringing up your beloved mother who has passed, because your hatred for me is that intense: "My mother would despise you, if she were around." - Tim
This is classic. Ginny Dexter sent me a missive with an email address that had "womanforpeace" in the title. Hilarious! ... "It will remind everyone why they hate your lying, stinking, c--- -------- ------ ------. No wonder the Clintons are losers. They have paid shills like Taylor ---- Marsh on their payroll." Peace to you too, Ginny.
From Caterina Meirs: "How much do they pay your ugly mug to write hit-pieces? Wipe from front to back you're stinking up the sphere."
How dare I challenge Mr. Obama! Another Obamabot chimes in: "Look up Racist in the dictionary and it says two words, Taylor Marsh. You are a right wing total nut job ... .." - Wooster
Hillary hating Obamabots, low class even in victory. After Obama won South Carolina, I received a lot of hate mail. This is just one example: "Taylor you are a stanky smelly HO and paid shill for the DLC racist Clintons The heffa lost BWaahahahahahahha."
"You suck you liberal skank ..."
Some of the strongest hate mail has come from the Clinton Derangement Crowd. I particularly love this one. I'm being taken off of a blogroll! How will I ever survive?: "Taylor - we thought you got it - but apparently you've bought the corporate media spin too. Your love fest with Hillary is shocking! especially combined with your complete lack of questioning the ramifications of continuing the Bush-Clinton dynasty! http://news.independent.co.uk/world/americas/article3081835.ece http://www.realnews.org/stories/2007-10-16_hillary.html There will be few changes in a Hillary prez. You know it. And you know that Bill Clinton ended all pending and future Iran-Contra and BCCI investigations! And Hillary - a former first lady and DC insider - will NOT seriously investigate a former president's son and his corrupt and evil administration! You also know that John Edwards best represents a REAL Democrat - and not a Bush-lite Centrist like Hillary. How much did they pay you? What did they promise you? You are a disappointment - and are off our blog roll." - nt
Some Many didn't like me telling the truth about John McCain: "My son is in Iraq and he is not complaining nor are the great majority of his buddies. He is there protecting your right to be an asshole. You would look great in a burqa." - LW
Yes, I definitely struck a nerve with that McCain post: "I'm no fan of McCain, but I do keep up with the news. Do you think we are all stupid? I don't know who you are or who the Hummington post is, but I've seen high school articles better written and more accurate. By the way, I do know the name of the most illiterate and ill-informed woman in America is Huffington, not Hummington." - CC
Again, in response to the McCain post: "For some, informed opinion, including talking directly to soldiers, isn't enough: "Have you served in the military? If not keep your opinions to yourself in regard to political support of our troops. This pertains to both conservative and liberal views. You are not qualified because you have not been there." - Joe (not Lieberman, though you never know)
"Hey Taylor over here! Guess what Jackass! The VAST VAST VAST majority of Americans don't watch Olbermann (not event 1 percent of the population, check his ratings.) and Taylor the VAST VAST Majority of Americans have NO CLUE who he is! Get our of your Bubble. Run out of it. Plus, if you're a "local" programmer, why the BLEEP would you want to assault your male footballs audience with Keith's liberal politics? You wouldn't." - Yet another wingnut
"And if Taylor Marsh is "the antidote to right wing talk" no wonder "liberal" talk radio is such a hopeless failure." - Just another wingnut
One of the first times I had to actually delete posts on this site came after a column I did connecting Sean Hannity, Mark Levin and the wingnut monopoly on radio. This is just a sampling of the troll spam that came in that weekend: "Perhaps if you had subject matter and guests that people were actually interested in, instead of sounding like you're auditioning for Err Amerika, you too would get a syndication offer. - txradioguy
People just don't like it when I tell the truth about Joe... "Joe Lieberman a "Jackass" and "dumber than dirt"? OK. You are a traitor and a stupid bitch." - CB (3.1.07)
Not exactly hate mail, but certainly amusing... "You look like I pictured. I bet you're a druggie from the 60's. Big government needs to GO and you want the fairness act because the people that tell us the truth like Michael Savage scares the hell out of you. He said bring the fairness act on so he can come on shows like Colmes and show the listeners what a fool liberals really are. After I listened to you rambling on I understood why you are not on the radio anymore. I hope they pass it so Savage can make his rounds on the left wing liberal shows and wake you people up before the muslims kill us all. I bet you're for barak obama for president aren't you? No, you're probably for the socialist commi hillary. Make sure that when you buy your burka it's black. Redheads look good in black so I've been told." - Jill (1.25.07)
"You will go to hell and cook forever, unless you admit your a sinner, ask Jesus to forgive you. Then say help me Jesus PLEASE. You know what? If you pray and believe that Jesus is the Son of God and died for your sin and rose on the 3rd day. You will be saved. Heaven would be your reward. Anyway I was far worse then you. I'm glad I found the bottom and got saved. I will pray for you tonight." - DanD (1.25.07)
This one from "trixi" made me laugh out loud: "I think you need help. ... Dr. Lyle H. Rossiter, Jr., a forensic psychiatrist, explains the madness of liberalism in his new book The Liberal Mind: The Psychological Causes of Political Madness: ... Like all other human beings, the modern liberal reveals his true character, including his madness, in what he values and devalues, in what he articulates with passion. ... Because the liberal agenda’s principles violate the rules of ordered liberty, his most determined efforts to realize its visionary fantasies must inevitably fall short. Yet, despite all the evidence against it, the modern liberal mind believes his agenda is good social science. It is, in fact, bad science fiction. He persists in this agenda despite its madness." Speaking of madness "trixi"...
"You are not even relevant in your own community."
"Ms. Marsh, I read your blog every so often. It reminds me to work harder to promote the values and beliefs I hold so dear as a conservative Republican. YOU are my motivation. ... To do what you do during a time of war is appalling. Clinton got us in this mess by emboldening the Islamic-Fascists. I go to church for weddings and funerals, but I thank GOD everyday for President George W. Bush. I have to leave you now to write another check for the RNC. Toodles!!!!!!!"
Okay, so this isn't hate mail, but right before the election I got a whole bunch of emails just like this one: "Thanks... this will make the GOP victory so much sweeter..."
"What are you out of your mind, lady?"
At least this one can spell... well, almost. "I suppose Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, Howard Dean, John Edwards, Bill and Hillary are the answers to the problems in America. It is so obvious by all the vicious derogatory remarks as to how desparate the UN-American Democratic Party truly is. I would do anything I can to defeat any Democrat who agrees with your lowliness and scummy practice. Find an honest and worthy Democrat and I will support him, but I think you'll have a tough time finding one, especially if he supports these type of tactics. I truly hope that ALL America can see through your hate mail rants, WINGNUT." - colonel
After the Merkel post, the wingnuts went crazy... "who cares if the President rubbed the shoulders of a peer..iraq and the middle east are in flames cause countries like the usa and isreal arn't full of liberal dykes and ferry democrats like kerry and whoever. ..please stop your career now and see that it's a mans world and we call the shots!!" - tom
"You Godless Bitch... I hope you die the worst possible death in retribution for the slander you espouse. I would love to see you die by the hands of the heartless people you defend, why don't you travel to a foreign country, get kidnapped and raped, and die? You have no morals. To see so much unsubstantiated bullshit on your website and blog is laughable. You are just another "Yellow-Dog" Democrat...or worse yet, a "Spectator Democrat." One who criticizes everything but offers no solution. And lastly, if I was your boyfriend or husband, I would be cheating on you for Ann Coulter... Truthfully not yours, V Baker" (ellipses original)
After a radio interview out of Iowa... "When are you gonna be puled off of the air. this is a time that we need to suport the presidant and stop being traytors. why do liberal dummycrats have to be such dinks? God will look faverabley on those that suported our presidant W. God bless Bush and Chaney. we ned to suport them." - c.b.
Okay, so this isn't hate mail, but what the hell: "You and your blog are irrelevant." -- kbest
"I cant bilive the crap that comes out of your mouth. Libarals like you are the reason this great county is goin in the crapper. The elections in 2006 will hopfuly put the final nale in the cofin for you liberatards. Good ridence!" - just another wingnut
Succinctly said: "SHUT UP!!!"
Oh, do liberals hate when I criticize our own. This one is just charming... "carter was the best president we have ever had you republican bitch whore youz" - dubyaisafairy.
The wingnuts got miffied when I "swiped" (my word) the Alex Jones video, because the download sucked. In fact, I took a risk doing it! Again, I do not apologize for that. Here's one lame wingnut's response, which is hilarious: "First time at your site - Typically Democrat, Liberal, distortions, utter distortions. Typically, "We've lost the world Democrat." Swiped the facts on the shotgun incident? Swiped, as in Stole, as in low-life thief? Coooool! Way Coooool, typical Lib - Nuf Sed" - FrankieCee
The following email is one of the shortest and crudest I've ever received, though I've cleaned it up a bit. I offer it as evidence of what a lot of women on the web get. It makes me wonder, What would Deborah Howell do if she got this type of hate mail? As for me, I just shake my head and laugh... "You vile stinky #*@&! You and your traitorous cronies who lied stole and cheated hopefully will be hung from lamp posts when sanity will take over. Bush is the Nazi, you are the nazi and the whole damn GOP is marching on." - nofy
"Why is it that your site, as with the vast majority of liberal sites, has so little advertising compared to conservative sites? Could it be due to reasons similar to those causing the demise of AirAmerica? To wit; that no one is paying attention to what liberals are saying, now that there is an alternative source of information to the lies you and your ilk have forced on the world for decades? From reading only a bit of your writings it seems unlikely you will dare to publish this piece of 'hate mail', since my writing is not dictated by the depth of my passion, but by the depth of my commitment to civility despite provocation as baseless and foolish as yours. Have a happy life as you continue to struggle vainly against the tide of truth sweeping the world via the Internet and talk radio! Best," - A wingnut from San Antonio, TX
"What i don't understand about tratorus libertards like you is why you think you can stand their and disparag our great ELECTED leader George W Bush. Whithout him we be a country of hethen sinners aborting babys for fun. You donot suport the troops and shoud be shiped off to Kwantanamo bay for the prison there. You are oful person and should count belessing that you can spout your libral mouth off."
"You ned to move to Canada if you hate this county so much. Thank god that George W. Bush is our president protecting us from evil liebrawls like you. Go to Cuba and engoy comonism they're."
"Please
broadcast your ridiculous opinions somewhere other than Iowa (how about relegating
yourself to urban chicago where they want liberal thinking). It is frustrating
listeng to you describe the war has detrimental to womens rights in Iraq I
am lucky enough to have had contact with women from that part of the world
and you are doing them a disservice. I have never seen a people so
excited about voting, if only here in America we had that zeal for freedom-Maybe
some day we will have to fight for our freedom again. If that day comes hopefully
people like you wont be out there persuading everyone that freedom is only
important to us. God forbid someone who thought like you ever ran this country,
the terrorist would be lovin it." - Shellman
"Ms. Marsh - I recently heard
some of the interview... I am praying for you. I pray that all the poison you
spew and scream comes back to you and that you see yourself as God sees you.
Why can't you speak professionally and courteously instead of attacking someone
who doesn't think the same way you do. I have noticed that a liberal-thinking
person never answers a direct question with a direct answer. You all sound like
a broken record. Don't you realize that the Democrats are the "Outs"
and the Republicans are the "Ins"? Your pride is hurt because more
Americans didn't want the Democrats... period ( . ) Thank you for listening.
God Bless you and God bless America."
My goodness, but you're very ignorant and jealous. Why not work
off some of that venom with a bit of housework? Perhaps breast-feed your infant?
do ANYTHING, but please give up writing. - "Ol
John"
From "GW@WhiteHouse.gov": "You suck."
"You’re just another hysterical fool from the far left who
guarantees the demise of the Democratic Party. Simply put, you’re a crackpot
in the same category as those on the far right. Mirror matched fools."
"Thank you, Taylor, for being so vocal for the democratic
party. You have done more for Republicans then most republicans. the more you
talk, the more republicans get elected."
"You are a nut. You need to use more common sense."
"You may be the best liberal out there, but you are still on the bottom
of the barrel. Why? You and others like you are not dealing in reality. McCarthy
would have had you and Kennedy for dinner. You are a real bitch and a rude one
at that. I say this because of a debate you tried to participate in on the Glover
Show here in St. Louis. Glover is not thinking with his brain but his you know
what."
"I would just like to thank you for what you said
on the (radio). I would like to encourage you to keep it up. As an American
it makes me very happy when talk show personalities like you get on the radio
and voice your opinions. You single handedly did more to hurt your own party
than any conservative talk show host could have done by himself/herself. You
were pompous arrogant, bitter and lets not forget down right rude. Keep up the
good work. Shout your message from the rooftops. Thanks. P.S. I particularly
like the picture of the baby on your web site. Keep it up."
"I couldn't resist going to
Marsh's website to take a look. The photo of her in front of the pickup truck
is as ironic as the picture of the minuteman with a rifle on the new Mass. State
quarter. By Mass law, an individual couldn't own that rifle and if the libs
had their way, individuals wouldn't be allowed to own a pickup or SUV. Too bad
the brake didn't slip."
"I feel that you are out of touch with the true grunts that
work for a living... Get off Fantasy Island!!!!!"
"You are so old news. We are moving on without the liberals
because they are so anal. You would follow the Clintons who have brought such
shame on the white house. Listen to the children who think oral sex is okey.
Follow teddy who left a woman to drown while he hid in a motel room. What hero's
in your party, michael moore is another hero to idolize..."
"...you should really be embarrassed. I would love
to see you go against Hannity. Democrats have no points of any logic. And what
you said about the military is just sickening. You lost the election get over
it, you wont win the next one either unless your party gets it together, and
pulls their head of their asses. No matter what Bush does is never correct to
a liberal. Maybe that's why you left wings suck on air ratings, people cant
stand to listen to you. Watch a lil more Fox news, have a beer and quit making
excuses for the Democrat failuresMs. Marsh, Stick to being a beauty queen; it
is evident that you do not have brains. Research BEFORE speaking and you will
be quite surprised what you will learn."
".... and I must say you are a cool-aid drinker. I certainly
am happy that you do not have any decision making authority in any capacity
in my life. Hopefully as long as there are reasoning/thinking people out here
you and your likes will never have this authority. As a political independent,
who admittedly leans right, please keep up the good work you are doing. You
are helping the sane by your insanity. I hope you get your chance to personally
negotiate with terrorists. I can hear you now as they get ready to cut your
head off.... "PLEASE DON'T ... I'M ON YOUR SIDE!"..... CHOP!!!! If
I were a liberal I'm sure I would have called you a name by now."
"... YOU ARE A BITCH!!!!!"
"Your great at arguing and fighting like most liberals.Do you
realize that the things you say are the same things said that ushered in communism.Ill
bet you were all for killing Terri Shaivo were'nt you.A tipical Hitler mentality,like
just about every liberal Ive talked to.I say just about because not all liberals
spout the democratic talking points,a few can actually think for themselves
without being told what and how to think,unlike yourself.What I came away from
that debate with Crane was that you are a tipical liberal IDIOT and like most
conservatives Crane whipped your but with fact after fact after fact.Just because
you say something does'nt make it a fact,like your other DEMOCRATIC buddies,like
the commie Al Frankin dont you ever wander why yours and his ratings are in
the tank.That is a fact, no matter what you say. YOUR A FAILURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"
"Do the country a favor and move to Canada. We don’t
need cry babies like you and we would be better off with out you democrats.
Always whining about something give it up America is going to be all Republicans
if you can’t tell yet. By the way J.F.K would be a Republican in this
day and age. Think about it. Or just flip flop that in your head. Maybe you
could debate yourself like John Kerry did. Thank God for President George W.
Bush."
BUT NOT ALL BUSHIES THINK TAYLOR'S
A BITCH, and even though they
may not understand liberals, they don't think W. is a dream either...
"...I keep trying to understand the liberal point
of view but when people like our Governor Swilsack want to raise cigarette taxes
and then ADMIT that they will not be spending the money on reducing or treating
smokers it baffles me. Iowa has shamefully trotted out small children in their
campaign to raise these taxes. They are just plain money whores. I have not
heard ONE person attack alcohol or even mention it in any of the smoking or
healthcare debates. If you think of the lives lost due to alcohol, the divorces,
the criminal acts related to it, it far outweighs the problems with cigarettes.
Well, I'm sure your busy, our daughter is an accomplished dancer &
dance teacher so I know what it's like to get ready for a show! Keep him on
his toes and I'll listen whenever I can. (I'm a) not so conservative, conservative…
PS. If you ever get the chance to talk to Bush or his cronies let them know
it's very disconcerting even to us Bushies that the leader of the free world
can't say nuclear. It's NEW CLEAR Mr. Bush, there is no such word as NOOKYALER!!!!"
~~~~~~~
The above sweet sentiments appear as they were sent, though sometimes shortened. So, to all those who write every day, thanks for sharing. Taylor doesn't post them all, but she sure reads them all.
