Latest Hate Mail…

Posted on 19 August 2009 by Mr. Harrington

Ladies and gentlemen, this is nothing new.  I have been called many things in my life, and what follows is just another to add to my list.

Apparently, some of my former classmates found my blog and made some…unsavory comments about it.

Here, I will deconstruct their arguments and present their lapses in judgment, as well as logic.

What follows will not be censored, however, I will withhold all names.

So, if your ready to see the latest hate mail, check it out after the jump…




So, this all started when a former classmate, with whom I had never had problems, posted a link saying:

You Will Shit Yourself Upon Reading This!

the new age of neo-conservative fascists is upon us. Made available to the masses by none other than our very own Matt Harrington and Graham Enos. Prepare for the worst gentlemen.

Now, let’s start right here.  He referred to me as a fascist, which only a blithering idiot would do.  Because, in fact, I do not support the government take-over of private businesses.

Fascists struggle to form a single party state.  Folks, their attempts to silence opposing voices can only be described as such.

Now, I think we can all agree that Nazis were fascist.  And if we remember anything from our history education, we remember that the Nazi Party was the “National Socialist” party.  Nationalized Socialism…

Am I a socialist?  Didn’t think so.

Now, from this post I received a comment on the blog, which I did not post.  But I will post it here.  This vile comment did not deserve the credit it would have received from being published.

Here it is:

You Know Me In Real Life
likeafox829@aol.com

I am not a violent person, but I would willing kick anybody wearing your ignorant, racist, and poorly thought-out shirt in the balls.

You’re not even smart! Why would anybody listen to you? Try using a source that isn’t run by neo-cons for facts. I’m not even suggesting running something that your poison-the-well demigods tell is “the liberal media”. Just something that says the facts! Seriously.

YOU ARE WRONG.

But I’m not too worried, because in our generation there are farrrr more like me than there are like you two thickheads. All we’re waiting for is the time when the current administration dies out (insert your probably witty comment about the “death panels” which. by the way, are a complete fallacy) and then gay marriage, universal healthcare, and REAL freedom will be realized, not your concocted fever dreams of democracy and good triumphing evil and blah blah blah.

Don’t bother responding to this, I won’t be signing on here ever again.

Have fun sucking one another’s dicks, you fuckers.

So, firstly, this person is too scared to give her real name.  Why?  Because she doesn’t have the intestinal fortitude.

Ok, so she is obviously referring to this racist shirt… When, in actuality, there is nothing racist about it.  There are many reasons I do not like Barack Obama, his skin color is not one of them…

Apparently, this woman doesn’t think I’m smart…no rational basis for her argument…

With over 20,000 views…someone is listening…

Now, if I’m not mistaken, I have used many and varied sources for my content; such as, Politico, CNN, FoxNews, Washington Post, NYTimes, etc.

Oh, the ones that aren’t run by neo-cons…?

Apparently, my “demigods” are poisoning the well…Not, say, for example, John Holdren, who advocated chemical sterilization of the populous by poisoning the water supply…

And, what exactly is a demigod?

Apparently, I am wrong…

According to this elitist, there are more people like her than like me…I assume she means liberal and evil respectively…

That’s all well and good, but, This New Gallup Poll says otherwise. There are just more self-identified conservatives than liberals…Sorry, honey, I’m right…

Now, I don’t know what she means by “the time when the current administration dies out…and then gay marriage, universal healthcare, and REAL freedom will be realized…”

By “current administration” does she mean Barack Obama?  I’m confused…Someone please call whatever planet this woman is living on and let her know that Obama won the election…

What is a fever dream?

Well, I did bother.

Now, the last part is funny, because in later comments, I am a homophobe…

Now, I did a little snooping and I found a blog post by this woman from 2004…Well, a woman, living in the Sacramento area, going to an all girls Catholic High School…

Apparently, you can’t be so anonymous on the internet…

Cheer team lost funding so you tried out for golf so you didn’t have to take PE?

Tried to lose a little weight before school started?

Check it out…

Name Withheld ummm what the fuck is that? it makes me wanna vom.
August 12 at 6:51pm

Name Withheld did you see the part where he pulled out poll data about bush from AUGUST 2001!?!? That’s cool.
August 12 at 6:52pm

Now, I used that poll because it was the same amount of time into one another’s presidencies.  Use logic, man.

Name Withheld You know, at first I was worked up over this, and then I realized – Matt Harrington is a fucking idiot. And a homophobe and an intolerant bigot.

But hey, he’s a tiny part of our generation, and most of us are rational. I figure we’re only moving more towards equality and tolerance as the older views (quite literally) die out.

I say let him rail away at progress to the depths of the interwebs, and ignore him instead of giving him any attention or legitimacy
August 12 at 9:17pm

There it is!  Homophobe…

Name Withheld lol i would expect nothing less from matt harrington just makes me a little bit founder of him and his complet disreguard for logic
August 12 at 9:57pm

I must admit, it is true, I disregard logic…

Name Withheld and graham enos, don’t forget
August 12 at 10:00pm

Name Withheld man, I went to elementary school for five years with both those fuckheads. whenever I read anything they’ve written (such as the printed out myspace bulletin I still have in a box somewhere, where Graham was freaking the fuck out over Jesuit doing Laramie) I just remember that they were the kids who used to cry at recess because no one liked them… Read More
August 12 at 10:49pm

Ah, yes.  Those were the days, weren’t they?  Personal attacks only show you’re lack of rational argument…

Name Withheld i think both of them should be raped–preferably by large african american males.
August 12 at 11:05pm

Name Withheld yeah or you could rape them, mike
August 13 at 1:16am

Oops…that name made it through the censors…

Name Withheld Well he makes a good point i mean, heaven forbid taxes go up…unless it’s for a war of some sort
August 13 at 12:05pm

What does that even mean?  If I’m not mistaken, I am a proponent of low taxes, war, peace, or otherwise.  Ever heard of the Laffer Curve?  Check it out…it works…

Folks, I have realized that this is just the beginning…if I continue to do what I do, this is what is in store for me for the rest of my life…a bit disheartening…but worth it.  In fact, it is funny.  I do get a kick out of the whole fascism thing…Funny stuff.  If any one of them would actually crack a book and read about fascism, they would see that they are acting as such, not me.  Silencing–or personal attacks against–the opposition just shows their true grasp of logic, reason, and rationality…

UPDATE: August 19, 2009:

Here’s what someone else had to say after I alerted everyone to this post.  Its amazing…

Let the hate cometh…

Name Withheld yeah dude this just reached a whole new level of retarded. i think all the lardos need to pack up their bitch tits and retreat back to the game consoles, because the internet has enough rush limbaugh wannabes

    Wow Matt… this hate mail is unbelievable.
    This one is especially terrible: “I just remember that they were the kids who used to cry at recess because no one liked them.”
    It is irritating to see that the same kids you went to grade school with haven’t managed to grow up as time has passed. I guess grade school popularity determines a persons worth in this imbeciles eyes.
    This hate mail is typical in the way that it is the same half-baked, pathetic and ignorant retorts usually heard by the under-informed masses: racist, homophobe, bigot ect.
    It is atypical in the way that it is so personal.
    All I can say is you must be striking a serious nerve with these people. In not a single response did anyone try and argue against your facts. When immature and uninformed people cannot argue against the facts, inevitably, they attack you.
    I am embarrassed to think these people are adults… the kind of behavior exhibited by the people in this hate mail is below anything I have read in a long time.
    Thanks to Matt and Graham for making one of the best websites to read the political news of the day.

  2. Larry Says:

    This is how you respond to criticism? This is absolutely laughable boys. You both obviously have no idea what you’re talking about or how to exist in the real world. Now I really see why this website is nothing more than an endless string of brainless neo-con regurgitation: all you do is respond to personal attacks, whether to your party or otherwise. I mean, come on! Surely if this site was a respectable op-ed blog, wouldn’t you guys spend less time responding to JOKES and actually give people some well thought out opinions about current events? But I guess that’s too much to ask when you f****** never look beyond the borders of FOX news. There is a bigger world out there gentleman. I just feel bad your parents never made you experience it.

  3. Larry Says:

    btw, anyone who “moderates” their responses is dishonest. But worst of all, it looks like you’re trying to hide something. But with a republican blog, all I can say is what else is new?

  4. Mr. Harrington Says:

    Larry, moderation of comments has nothing to do with honesty.
    I moderate comments for two reasons:

    1. It is the standard wordpress setting.
    2. To censor mature language. Remember, your intelligence is showing…

    And as to your previous comment, clearly you have never read the blog.
    Also, I posted your comments, as well as all the other critical comments. The only time anything is censored is when it contains fowl language.

  5. Zach Says:

    Larry’s post is classic.
    “all you do is respond to personal attacks”… well, you see Larry, when people like you offer up nothing more than personal attacks, what do you expect a response to?
    And what do you mean when you say Matt and Graham don’t know “how to exist in the real world”? Last time I checked, this is the real world, and they exist!
    I don’t know why I even bothered responding to your post. Your post indicates it is impossible for you to have an intelligence quotient above a double digit number. Dropping the F bomb? Really?
    I know it makes people like you feel better to think Matt and Graham do nothing but listen to Rush Limbaugh and watch Sean Hannity on Fox all day, but you know it isn’t true.
    The Harrington Report is keeping a critical eye on this administration, unlike the mainstream media.

  6. Mr. Enos Says:

    I am going to chime in, which is something I rarely do.

    Every person who uses personal attacks, calls us names, and does not bring substance to the debate only serves to legitimize what we are doing. If what we write warrants a response then it is obvious that what we say has merit. The more personal attacks the better, more eyes on our pages, more clicks on our advertisers and more money in our pockets. PLEASE keep saying nasty things about us, one day we will make millions off nasty people who drive views by saying nasty things, so please keep it up!

  7. Brendan Says:

    Graham, Matt, I just wanted to note: this is an awesome set of hate mail, you should do this more often. It provides your readers with both information and entertainment, and allows the ignorant, racist, anti-religious proto-leftists who write the hatemail to expose themselves to us (which I’m sure they enjoy). Thanks a bunch for the laughs!

  8. Justin Says:

    Oh man, this is absolutely brilliant. This hate mail just goes to show what kind of intelligence comes from those who oppose a conversative viewpoint. Never have I read the Report spew hatred for Obama for being a black man, nor has the Report ever stated anything that would suggest a hatred or bigotry towards gays, or anyone of color. And what does that bring us to? Opposition and insults that could just as easily have been spawned in the minds of elementary school children. Kicking in the balls? Really? Is that what “our generation” has come to? This truly exposes the immaturity that has arisen in “our generation”, where many of us are taught that “my way is the only way” and “I know everything” and “Everyone is created equal” is interchangable with “everyone is entitled to whatever anyone else has”. These hate messages are simply laughable.

  9. Tyler Says:

    I laughed a little about how “Larry” remarked that these messages was considered “criticism.” I had no idea that name calling and pointless rants are parts of the construction of criticism.

  10. Tyler Says:

    Also, it’s cute that some people must remain anonymous on the internet in order to make their remarks. Not only do they not have the composure to expose their name, but I’m quite certain that they will not have the gumption to make a valid, well supported argument face to face. Anyways, I enjoy this website very much, keep up the great work Matt and Graham.
