Hate mailbag

editor's note
Our examination of the aesthetics of the Obama images sold by the campaign itself apparently is responsible for some unusually vicious hate mail. Must be all the hope inspiring these folks.

I say "apparently" because most people who write hate mail don't bother mentioning a specific article. They see a piece from AT on some left wing site and fire off bile on the assumption that we only have one posting a year.

Two epistles stand out:

Mike Gattanella [mikegattanella@gmail.com] writes: [verbatim copy below, errors and all]

your complete lack of education and would be Hilarious if it weren't so damaging. just do us all a favor and don't reproduce. course you probably have 6 children...i've seen Idiocracy...

I love it when people with little command of the elements of grammar write in questioning my education. So I wrote back to Mike and told him I have a PhD from Harvard, and asked what his educational level was.

wow...you paid a lot for so very little. keep goosestepping along with your website my friend, the people at the top need help herding the sheep.

journalism degree from a state school...not that it matters. but keep namedropping your school, someone might be impressed.


Then there is this one. Do you think it is a threat?

klar dogg'n [knows.nightbringer@gmail.com] (at least he has the shame to hide his name)

...for your own good and the sake of your family, try not to spout so much shit. I keep sending Obama money, and he keeps you (a liar) and others eating his dust. Good luck with Hillary.....

Many Obama fans writing us assume we are minions of Hillary, which is almost as amusing as their bile.
