I do not encourage feedback unless it’s outright praise, but do not let that or this column deter you. Send me as many rebuttals as you want. I cannot promise that I will respond to each one, but I do promise that I will notice them in my inbox.
Most of my hatemail averages at 3 – 4 pages. The effects of that Trava-talent at work, posting it here verbatim is unreasonable. That, and it’s much more fun to take small quotes and post them here with my usual brilliant commentary. It’s quite relaxing. I would compare it to a soothing Chinese massage, minus the massage part.
Lastly, keep in mind that these are personal favorites. So if you want to see your response the next time I’m devoid of fresh ideas, you better step your game up.
A cunning wordsmith shuts up the ever-so-gabby Pro Choice movement:
Women do have a choice; either get pregnant or not.
It’s like the choice I face each morning: eat breakfast or don’t eat breakfast. Today I chose to eat breakfast. Tomorrow I may not. Ah, sweet freedom.
What the fuck are you planning on doing with a major in French?
Nothing. I switched to a dual-major in Spelling and Counting. It simplifies that age-old question, “Whatcha gonna do with that?”
Spell and Count. To this day, I have never received a follow-up inquiry.
What you wrote was extremely liberal hate, non-truths, misleading information, etc. In other words, your entire article was simply garbage, filled with unresearched, unsubstantiated facts, and very biased opinions.
I disagree. In my opinion, my column was an objective analysis of our mistaken two-term president. But I am a bit biased, so take that opinion with a grain of salt.
One fellow plays the race card:
Do you always refer to those different from you with such derogatory labels? I’d love to hear how you label those who speak a different language or have darker/lighter skin. I’m sure you have labels for them as well.
Then, he plays the Hitler card:
A minimum IQ? Sounds like plans for a master race, like Hitler once expressed.
Next, he sets me up for the kill:
You simply miss the point, so let me enlighten you.
Go on, brother. Hit me.
What makes this country great is that we have a difference of opinion, thoughts, believes, cultures, etc. Who are you to chastize anyone for thinking differently than yourself? How arrogant and shallow you are!
Yes, which is why you wrote a 4 page response full of subheadings on topics unrelated to my main point, full of tidbits like “That’s the problem with the far left, they lack, and don’t want to be held accountable for anything they do.” The irony is rather strong with this one.
Cynicism sold separately:
When you disparage people that supported Bush in ‘04, I would like to remind you that he did win the majority. I doubt that America as a whole is simple-minded enough to be hoodwinked into voting or someone as inept as you claim Bush is.
One scholar attempts to extrapolate my sexual preference:
I just finished reading the article you recently wrote which poked fun at college football and it’s fans. Let me clue you in on something. Not all men enjoy gay activities such as majoring in French, frequenting coffee shops, going to art museums, or catching the lastest “PETA” rally.
Then he offers some unsolicited life advice:
Maybe you should move out to California. You would fit in better out there with the other “fruits”.
My column made no mention of homosexuality. He mentions it twice. What should I infer from this?
Your extreme generalization of UT fans is somewhat insulting.
Only ‘somewhat’? Thanks. That makes me feel better.
Marriage IS a sacred institute ordained by God that we must keep sacred.
If it’s sacred institute ordained by God, then why would we have to keep it sacred? Wouldn’t that be His job? Look, as talented as I am, protecting marriage is a little beyond my skills. Sorry.
Lets say for example, the Heisman trophy in football was given to every member of the loosing team for “good sportsmanship and participation.” Would that not reduce such a prestigious award to a joke? The same applies to marriage.
Marriage is to people, and I assume these people he refers to are straight, God-fearing, Conservative Christians. Something tells me that’s what he meant…call it a “hunch”. Anyways, Marriage is to people as the Heisman Trophy is to football…huh?
There are so many points you bring up in your article and I wish I could address them all, but I’m running out of time and you’ve probably stopped reading pasting the second sentence.
At last, a reader who gets it.
