Former Gov. Marky Mark and Sen. Thinskin Gump’s (D-WashPo) political guru Mudflap Saunders is at it again, but this time the nutroots doesn’t like what he is doing — attacking them!
At the same time, those Democratic bloggers, who have appointed themselves as intellectually superior and believe the only way to win an argument is to shot the loudest with personal attacks, you can go to Hell. Intellectually superior? The truth is these people remind me of the guy who told so many people he had a horse that he finally went and bought a saddle. The “incivility” in their tones tell me they would be much more happy following “pro rasslin” than the political blogs.
My DD fights back with this:
Maybe it is just because I am an irony-loving Gen X type, but there is so much of this type of bizarre, self-contradictory language in Mudcat’s post that I think it should be considered a work of true paranoid genius. Start an exchange of ideas by telling people to go to hell. Attack the metropolitan, pseudo-intellectual wing of the Democratic Party by defending Joe Klein.
Then Mudflap starts his backtracking:
I never intended to shoot at the net roots with my initial post. I am simply an “elitism hating” Southern Democrat who loathes the stereotypes that have been placed upon me and my neighbors. However, apologies with buts ain’t worth a damn. Since I offended so many of you, I obviously did a poor job of communicating my feelings. I apologize…no buts.
Needless to say, the nutroots are still on the warpath and not seeming to accept the apology. No one ever said Mudflap was a brain surgeon. This will be fun to watch — grab a bucket of popcorn and a box of Jujyfruits — this could take a while.
