Calling Names

A little trinket left behind by Clayton "I wuv guns" Cramer on Little Adam's site:

Comment by Clayton E. Cramer

One of these days, Unequivocal Notion of(sic) 43rd State Blues will start posting about substantive issues instead of personal insults. They might even get some readers that way.

So lets visit some of the "names" that we've called some of these idiots (oops, was that one?).

Gun Nut Cramer. Hmmm, not much of an ad hominid, since it describes him fairly well.
Homophobe Cramer. Also fairly descriptive and brief. Success again!
Idiot Graham. Well, it fits so well. Given the level of stupidity on his site lately, like his argument that all liberals want us to lose in Iraq and that the draft is our super secret conspiracy to make that happen.
Little Adam. I'm not talking about his fat ass. I'm talking about his relative IQ.
Theocon Adam. When one demands a return to a 10 commandments society, a society ruled by the hyper-religious, one is going to get labeled as a theocon for simplicity and clarity.
The Village Idiot Fischer (too many links to find a really good one). Every village needs one, and since Fischer beat out Little Adam early on, Adam doesn't get to get called the village idiot. Besides, when someone repeatedly uses debunked "studies" in respect to breast cancer, race, immigration, homosexuals, the environment and evolution, then one gets to get a fun name like Village Idiot.
Silly Sali. What else do you call someone that digs themselves a hole and makes it deeper every day they try to clarify their original intent? Dumbass is better, sure, but I'm trying to cut down on the cussing.

As well, I congratulate myself for not calling out the incredible stupidity of Trish or Halli, the conjoined brain twin idiots of Idaho Falls. Nor have I really labeled those at the Idaho GOP Grassroots site as a bunch of conspiracy whackjobs that have only made themselves a laughing stock of the political realm in the Northwest.

So what about Dickwad Cramer's claim that if we only tackled more substantial issues we might get readers? Lets see, in the last few days alone we've tackled the reality behind civil unions and how they parallel the racial integration issues of the mid 20th century, we've discussed some of the current running candidates of Idaho, we've constantly shown the shallowness and stupidity of the right wing blogs of Idaho and we've made some good fun with Jim Tibbs and Silly Sali.

Considering that Sadly, No! is one of the top blogs in the world and the level of snark there is what makes them popular, I don't think we're doing too badly. Besides, have you read their blog entry on Little Adam? As well, we continue to win awards we don't even know we're up for. That definitely calls for a radical change in our methods, I'd say!

Personal insults are fun, Cramer. At least we aren't hiding them behind the screen of faux-civility that both Little Adam and yourself have mastered. You aren't civil, you're just assholes saying your hateful things in ways that make you feel good. You're a bunch of racist, bigotted worthless peons that get things wrong more than you get them right and you're upset because you get called on it.

So go hump your blog some more, tell me how much more substantial your bullshit is about how there are air-conditioners within 50 feet of a single monitoring station or that the melting of the icecaps is really fine because it's somehow not really happening. Continue telling people that it takes a hero to shoot an unarmed intruder in the back. Or maybe we should listen to Adam and talk about how It’s a favorite liberal fantasy: conservatives going off to get shot in war. “That’ll show them for supporting the War in Iraq.” And you wonder why we hate you? You wonder why we call you pathetic, worthless and idiots?

What’s taken a hit is my opinion and hopes for the blogosphere at least on the left side of Idaho. I’d hoped that we could have a dignified, good-spirited debate, but when we had times and occasions to, we could come together for the interest of the common good of our State.

Sadly, what I’ve found is that the entire left wing of the Idaho blogosphere to be partisans who put party before country or state, and will only tell truth if it’s negative about Republicans. And excessive partisanship kills the possibility of cooperation across party lines. Thus why the Democratic alternative to Governor Risch’s reduction in property taxes combined with a sales tax increase went nowhere. They came up and sold it as partisan hacks looking to find a way to gain seats and the plan lost.

So, Clayton, shove it up your fat, dumb ass. We're going to continue to label you as an asshole, as a fat pathetic twit with nothing more between your ears than a mouldering cotton bud you jammed in there last year because you thought you had an original idea. You've earned these labels, righties. Now wallow in them like the little piggies you are.
