The Kossites are worse than our Center thread neighbors.
More Typical Kossite Email [Jonah Goldberg]
THE CORNER
Another Kossite explanation which is much closer to the norm (though still somewhat above it):
Subject: Scumbag
>>>>>>>>>>>> Not an argument. Just what you are. No lie too big, no trick too low. Oh, did I just guess the secret Neo-Con motto?
Every time you post, God makes another 10,000 voters go Dem, so keep up the good work.<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Me: Yes, that's me. I'm a 100% anything for McCain victory guy. That's what I'm known for. When I hit the "Neo-Con" regionl meetings, I'm always the guy who has to be restrained from advocating the dirtiest of dirty tricks. That's how I roll baby.

We Really Are The Ones We've Been Waiting For [Jonah Goldberg]
I thought this explanation for the (usual) slimey insults from Kossite emailers was interesting:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Subject: Why the name calling?
It's not because you're insulting "The One." It's because you're insulting us. All two and a half million of us who have donated to the Obama campaign. You're calling us all cheats and liars. When you do that to a large group of people, you can expect a reaction. My reaction was to donate another $100 to the Obama campaign and another $50 to the DNC.
You're welcome.<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Me: Well, it's an explanation, I guess. I think it's a weird and vaguely creepy one, but it is an explanation. So thanks.
Feedback on "Not Learning to Love Big Government" [Ramesh Ponnuru]
An email, with minor edits for spelling:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Why do you seek to demonize the left? To say "America and the left" in your tagline suggests anyone with left-leaning political views is un-American. These divisive and irrelevant messages distract politically-engaged Americans from the issues. You talk about the left being "Big-Government"? Which administration just set on the agenda for a government-dominated banking system??? Which administration has spent more money than it takes in, resulting in the largest deficit on record??? When the market doesn't work, who is the first hand outstretched toward the government for a bailout??? Just because dems want to invest in society does not mean they are un-American. Dems have their own problems, but continuing a culture war is not productive to meet the challenges of the 21st century. Why are Left-leaning Americans not spewing great American love? Because they are ashamed of the current Republican leadership and idiots like you who isolate us from the rest of the world and squeeze the middle and working class to the benefit of the wealthy. They are ashamed that our troops have died on the battlefields of the middle east without the purpose put forth by our leaders. And I am personally ashamed at your hatred and attitude. Unfortunately, meatheads like you are the reason that unquestioned conservatism exists and inhibits the progress of this nation. Thank GOD Obama will win.<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
I didn't choose the subhed, actually, but you seem a trifle oversensitive.
