From the Mail Bag


See what I’m talking about? I get stuff like this all the time. Were I Democrat I guess I’d be holding a press conference right now.

From: Kevin Moore
Subject: Hello Erick
Date: April 2, 2010 9:07:19 PM EDT
To: Erick-Woods Erickson

I hope and pray that one day you and I end up in an elevator together.
It would be such a pleasure beating the s**t out of your s**t filled head.
Jerk-offs like you contribute to the decay of this country.
Crawl into a hole and die you dumb f**k or ask your wife to turn her shotgun on yourselves.

Sincerely,

Kevin Moore

Perhaps he would feel more comfortable in the men’s room if he is hoping to meet a guy.

What's sad about this is...

I wonder who he is praying to?

At least he is sincere.

Erick,

Do you need a body guard?

You will soon, with all the hate mail you get.

will they....

EVER learn?! He should have realized that this would be put up for ridicule and scorn by us here like what they do to us in the media…

 

LOL

Not at the content… but the absurdity of it.

 

Perhaps

if you include his email address we could sign him up for some ‘stuff’.

Especially if Mr. Kevin Moore’s lovely and thoughtful communique was from sent from his work place using a work email account. I especially like to contact companies and the legal authorities about threats made by their employees to a public figure. You just can’t tell when some liberal might snap and hit you with their European man bag.

Erick, has anyone ever called you

Mr. Poopy Pants? That’s when it gets serious. Get a CCW permit. Libs don’t carry.

Libs DO carry. They just don't want YOU to be able to carry.

Brian Hibbert (Diary) Saturday, April 3rd at 7:54AM EDT (link)

The laws that Libs want to restrict the freedoms of the unwashed masses, NEVER apply to the Libs themselves. Outlaw guns! except for my bodyguard. Tax the Rich except me and my friends. Government run healthcare except me and my family. Everyone in public schools! except my chilren

It’s a pattern you need to learn. Libs making threats DO play with guns.

I doubt if Erick is frightened that this clown will actually beat the snot out of him, but I do think he should turn this stuff over to the authorities. It’s time we start applying one of Allinski’s rules. Force the other side to live by their own rules and ridicule them when they don’t. It’s one of the few Allinski rules I can actually use. So many of them require a level of dishonesty that I just can’t live down to.

Exactly what I was thinking,

Leopard1996 (Diary) Saturday, April 3rd at 8:33AM EDT (link)

I would take this letter, and about 20 others and hijack King’s show and make the libs defend themselves as a block like we have been forced to over the years. It is starting to become scorched earth time where we have to start the process now of not just having an opposition but destroying that opposition, the same way that the opposition is trying to destroy us.

I agree

shaitra (Diary) Saturday, April 3rd at 9:14AM EDT (link)

You should definitely take some examples like this one on King’s show. That would be an excellent counterpoint to all the “right wing extremists” reports the LMS seems to be coming up with.

 
 
 
 

People get that mad when...

gbenton Friday, April 2nd at 11:50PM EDT (link)

you say something that they know is true but that they can’t face.

Must suck being a progressive and have your team in power and realize nobody likes you and Unicorns aren’t real after all..

“Jerk-offs like you contribute to the decay of this country” – Hmmm…. if traditional values have been the foundation of the country for over 230 years, that decay must be REAL slow movin.

Deep down, Kevin knows progressivism is the true source of decay – kinda like Athletes Foot or Jock Itch…. real irritating and not that easy to get rid of, though anyone who’s been afflicted with it wants to in a hurry.

Funny, he values your second amendment rights, he just doesn’t seem to understand which way to point the thing… sad really. All that time playing Xbox in his mommies basement and he hasn’t learned a useful thing.

 

Actually, I think EVERY such letter should be

cwilson (Diary) Saturday, April 3rd at 12:15AM EDT (link)

referred to the FBI as a threat. We can’t just keep laughing off these kooks — because they are not kooks. This IS what passes for reasoned discourse on the left. And like a bad poodle, they need to get whacked on the nose with a rolled up newspaper; I think the FBI (threats of bodily harm conveyed across state lines) could administer that negative reinforcement quite nicely.

A couple of high-profile trials for death threats against conservatives… That’d make the real hate-mongers, who daily encourage this sort of behavior (yes, I’m looking at you, Kos “Screw ‘em” Molitsas) learn to think before inciting a mob.

I agree, this should be turned over to the FBI

Scope (Diary) Saturday, April 3rd at 8:19AM EDT (link)

Our side just laughs at these sick people, and, when they suffer no punishment, they just keep doing it. Now that the Progressives are successfully painting the radical right wingers as hatemongers and claiming we are violent, and promoting violence, every one of these instances needs to be reported by our side as well. Time the FBI plays the intimidation game with these jerks.

Get this guy’s name into the FBI files. I believe it stays there forever. This cannot be viewed as anything but a threat of physical harm and violence. How bout we get these people on Janet’s list. Right now it seems to be populated by only Republicans and hateful Tea Partiers.

Yes, it should . . .

Isn’t “using electronic media to communicate a threat” a Federal offense?

 
 
 

You don't need to hold a press conference

togaman Saturday, April 3rd at 2:24AM EDT (link)

When you can post it on your own increasingly popular website Erik! A lot more people will be made aware of this letter by putting it here than would have been if you were some rep from Littletown, USA holding a news conference. You make a very public point of pointing out the violence advocated by the left wing fringe.

It seems to me that what you have done here is quite similar to what the left is doing to the right-painting a few nuts as representative of the whole, which is exemplified by comments like “This IS what passes for reasoned discourse on the left”. You have simply done it much more efficiently with your own website rather than holding a press conference. Well done Erik-you have played their game and beaten them at it.

 

i was sort of hoping that

with your move to CNN, you’d draw a higher caliber of hater, but it appears you’ve gone the other direction.

Maybe if you were on MSNBC, we’d get to see the real brain-trusts of the left.

 

I suspect...

…that poor Kevin is in this advanced state of panic and angst due to his fear that mean ol’ Erick and his cohorts in the Vast RIght Wing Conspiracy will somehow cause the gubmint to stop the flow of “free” stuff.

But then, in fairness to Kev’s delicate state of mind, I must say that if I were a useless freeloading boil on the backside of society, I suppose I’d worry about the resurgence of conservatism, too.

Or at least share the love with your CNN pals.

Those who had once simpered: “I don’t want to destroy the rich, I only want to seize a little of their surplus to help the poor, just a little, they’ll never miss it!” – then, later, had snapped: “The tycoons can stand being squeezed; they’ve amassed enough to last them for three generations” – then, later, had yelled: “Why should the people suffer while businessmen have reserves to last a year?” – now were screaming: “Why should we starve while some people have reserves to last a week?” – Atlas Shrugged

 

Kevin must be a progressive.

johnt Saturday, April 3rd at 10:43AM EDT (link)

I’m sure Kev could find a local stand in for Erick, some jerk who appreciates tax cuts and medical choice, but then he might actually have to do something physical, and might not be up to it.
Alternatively he could beat up a little girl. But I better not give him any ideas.
Send your voluntary checks in to the IRS Kev, don’t wait for us.

I’d heard of their existence, and i used to see lots of bumper stickers proclaiming their existence, but not so much anymore. They must have cralwed back into the holes from whence the came, venturing out to strike back when they feel threatened. Have pity on them, especially in this Easter Season, for though they posses limited mental capacity, they are coming to understand one thing: November will be the beginning of the end of their hoped for socialist utopia.

 

The best strategy

1) Post every single one with the email and header information.
2) Refer every single one to the FBI for invstigation.
3) Contact the ISP — these certainly violate the TOS.

don’t put up with this. The unhinged are more dangerous than just their silly words. They have started acting out their anger.

Turn it over to the FBI. It’s a threat.

than happy to meet him in an elevator or for that fact, anywhere. Feel free to pass my info off to this internet heman anytime you feel like doing so. Hell we can even meet at my gym where I or any of my students would be more than happy to hash out any issues this idiot may have.

Only the weak accept abuse, the strong give it back 10 fold. I may not have much in this life, but I do have a good eye, steady aim, and ample strength to pull a trigger. Bring your abuse on. I love this country, love the people in this country, and respect the right to life. But if you desire to forfeit your right to live, threaten my rights, my dignity, or myself or my families wellbeing and I will be more than happy to help you end your life with plenty of Vitamin bullet.
