First Hatemail

Today I got my first piece of hatemail from this blog. It was a response to my video from Tookie Williams' execution. Here it is in its entirety:

message: Why in the fuck would you go to protest the execution of a fucking MASS murderer?(that's a rhetorical question) LOSER. I'm glad he's DEAD! I'd like to dig him up and kill him again. Fuck you, murder lover. I bet you enjoy child molestation too, sick fucker. PS Your website is LAME!

What about my video would elicit such an idiotic response? While I am solidly against the death penalty due to the way it is unevenly enforced and that the idea of killing people who kill people to show that killing people is wrong just doesn't make the slightest bit of sense to me, I covered this event in an unbiased way. I showed people speaking on both sides of the issue. So I don't get how this makes me a "murder lover." What the hell is wrong with people? What kind of imbecile feels so moved by a video like this to not only bash the guy who shot it but to cheer for another guy's death? People really suck sometimes. Anyway, I thought I'd re-run that clip below to put this all in context.


UPDATE: Wow, somebody needs a life! Check out the rest of this lovely correspondence -

Well let's see, there was a major newsworthy event happening around the corner from my job, I had a place to stay right there, and I wanted to cover it and show both sides. Do you send hatemail to the news media when they cover events? How old are you, kiddo?


Ufflernot@aol.com to me

Hey 'Kiddo', if you were there covering the whackos and reporting to the world how sick people can be supporting a MASS MURDERER, that's one thing. But if you were there to actually join in on the protest, you're one of them, and should be ashamed of yourself. And if you think that was hate mail, you're wrong. You should read some of the emails I send to Kerry, Kennedy, Dean, the French Embassy, etc. THAT'S some hateful shit! And I do this to voice MY opinion of them, unafraid that George Bush is gonna come and knock down my door because he's been reading my emails, as the cowering, pussy, and treasonous liberals would like us to think he's doing. If you were there in disbelief at stupidity, I apologize. If you were there protesting Mr. Mass Murderer...FUCK OFF! Either way, your web sit is still lame.

PS I'm not afraid to "kick it around with ANYONE old man, so if you're a liberal, Kerrystickerkeeper...bring it on! I've debated ACLU lawyers and got them so frustrated by LOGIC, they hang up on me. truth is a powerful weapon.


Jason Buckley to Ufflernot

Dude, you've got some issues. Get help.


Ufflernot@aol.com to me

MAJOR ISSUES!! I admit it...LIBERALISM! It's ruining this country. I'm trying to help, calling people on it. Bringing it to people's attention so the "normal" people (you call them red states) can laugh at it...or stamp it out. This will be my last email to you unless you choose to debate any liberal issues YOU might have. In that case I can cure you with logic and reason (with a few F words thrown in for impact, hehe). Later, dude.

Jason Buckley to Ufflernot

Wow, such a brilliant diatribe! Life is too short to waste it "debating" somebody like you. But I'll be happy to post this on my blog to show my readers what you "normal people" are like.

Somehow I doubt that it's his "logic" that makes the ACLU lawyers hang up on him. This isn't a political blog. I used to run a political blog and all the futile fighting back and forth was just frustrating and pointless. I don't go looking to get into it with people I disagree with anymore. You know what they say about arguing on the internet being like running in the special olympics, right? That said, I'm not going to just let some bozo send me hatemail without posting it.
