Politics / TV Was it Something I Said?
Posted by Dan Savage on Wed, Sep 2, 2009 at 11:56 AM
So... I was on Keith Olbermann last night (watch the video here). And I made a gaffe—that is, I told the truth, per Kinsley—and the angry emails have been pouring in ever since. Here's an exchange I had with a right-winger...

Subject: you are the savage love guy, small worldDan,
There is a local paper in St. Louis, MO called the River Front Times. I use it to start my bar-b-que coals. And I sometimes read a section called the Savage love just to see what new levels of depravity you will stoop to. I was watching MSNBC fascist propaganda this evening and I saw you on there with Olberman that nasty little man.
I got news for you, you can believe your own baloney but people are pissed off at the democrats and also the republicans. Your an idiot, if you can't fuck it you are not interested so I won't try and explain how Obama is a continuation of the progressive fascist movement of the early 20th century. Yes fascist you retard, fascism is a product of the left not the right. Nazis were what, "National SOCIALISTS" You dummies are talking about the protesters because you are afraid of them and rightly so. They are going to throw this government out of office one way or another. You don't understand people that will die for their principles because you hold nothing sacred. There a a lot of us that are not religious but we respect those nice people that you scorn. I wouldn't give a squirt of Olberman's leaking piss for anything thing you say or write. You are a nasty little man, a pathetic loser that makes his living talking about pac king fudge. Your disgusting.

Subject: Re: you are the savage love guy, small worldthat is a ironic coming from you! I don't fault you for being different but you are bitter like an old woman. You attack everything good and descent because it damns you. You are a pustule of the first order. Keep spouting your crap because you are lighting a nation on fire that will take it back from you nasty little fascists.

You're clearly not trying to change the minds of those who disagree.

"you are bitter like an old woman."
"You are a pustule of the first order."

It's so true. Lefty insults always come off all showoff-y and condescending. Right wing insults read like they have been translated from another language, and it's easy to get the idea that they have gotten into the corn likker before firing up the ol' Tandy.
(I'm an effete elitist!)

"I wouldn't give a squirt of Olberman's leaking piss..."
"you make me wet"
Pretty clear what is going on here.... water sports!
