Kool-Aid Man Wins Special Olympics - Oh, Yeaahh!
Just got a visit from the Kool-Aid Man.
Here’s the deal. When you have a blog or any type of forum on the Internet and you have some high degree of visibility, this is the kind of crap you have to put up with. Recently, this wingnut tried to post this comment on a post I wrote back in September.
Apparently, he took umbrage to the Clinton Successories parody I highlighted in that post and my comments on Clinton’s flailing marketing campaign to save his legacy made him absolutely apoplectic.
Just to be clear(er), I did not create the parodies, just pointed them out because they were newsworthy (Clinton had just committed his public meltdown) and because I thought they were funny and thought you may, as well. Not that it’s anyone’s business, but I’m an Independent and there was no political agenda on my part in writing that post.
It was newsworthy and had Bush lost it during a major network interview and I had come across some similar Successories parodies highlighting that event, I would have posted about those as well.
This is not a political blog.
So here it is Brent’s far-left wig-out in all of its barely-literate glory:

Just read your fickle finger award to ex-President Bill Clinton. I watched the interview with that swarmy Wallace kid, that was no interview, it was as the President said, a hit piece. I don’t blame him for waving his finger, itit were me it would have been a fist in that little pimp’s face. Let’s face it anyone who is with the Fox network is pimping him or herself.
The best fickle finger award should go to the present administration and especially Herr von Rumsfield. I don’t see good clean fun, I see mean spiritness.
Nice, huh?
You don’t think he’s a Clinton fan, do you? You’re right, I didn’t get that impression either. And don’t ask me what “mean spiritness” is, I couldn’t stop laughing long enough to look it up.
Here is my very well-reasoned reply and invitation to him, which was a greater courtesy than he extended to me:

Subject: Thank you for your comment
Brent,
If you could back your points with some facts, make it relevant to the purpose of my blog and not have it read like a flaming screed, I’d be happy to approve it. But as written, your response doesn’t advance the subject, has nothing to do with marketing or writing copy and is full of hysterical rhetoric with no substance.
For example, statements like these:
> a fist in that little pimp’s face.
Is that the level of debate you want to descend to?
> Let’s face it anyone who is with the Fox network is pimping him or herself.
Really? Prove it. Even though this is not a political blog, if you have PROOF of that, I’ll post it.
> Herr von Rumsfield.
Really? “Herr von Rumsfield”? Is that your idea of a fair or balanced statement? Again, lots of name-calling and finger-pointing, but no proof. If you’re inferring that Rumsfeld is a Nazi, please provide your proof that backs up what is, frankly, an outlandish statement. Name-calling doesn’t make it so. Facts do.
> I don’t see good clean fun, I see mean spiritness.
That is of course, your opinion. From what I read it looks as though you have a political axe to grind. Me, I thought the pictures were clever with a dash of wit and I’ve been watching Clinton’s legacy marketing campaign go wrong for nearly a year now. That is relevant to the purpose of my blog.

This reminds of years ago when I was the moderator on a couple of high-level electronic forums. After getting into a battle royale with a couple of hide-behind-free-email-account vitriolic flamers, a friend took me to one side and said the following to me.
Later, I found someone had made a snort-milk-through-your-nose-funny picture that graphically illustrated his wise words. And as in all fine traditions, I’m passing the wisdom on to you:
Think I’ll just let the little flamer have First Place, after all.
Oh, Yeaahh!
