Kathleen Parker Discovers Her Fellow Right Wingers Can Be A Nasty Bunch
By Nicole Belle Wednesday Oct 01, 2008 2:45pm
Parker, who last week called for Palin to step down, now finds herself the target of a Wingnut Two Minutes of Hate.
Allow me to introduce myself. I am a traitor and an idiot. Also, my mother should have aborted me and left me in a dumpster, but since she didn't, I should "off" myself. [..]
After 20 years of column writing, I'm familiar with angry mail. But the past few days have produced responses of a different order. Not just angry, but vicious and threatening.
And she knows vicious. Here's Parker in 2003, on the Democratic presidential candidates:
Here's a note I got recently from a friend and former Delta Force member, who has been observing American politics from the trenches: "These bastards like Clark and Kerry and that incipient ass, Dean, and Gephardt and Kucinich and that absolute mental midget Sharpton, race baiter, should all be lined up and shot."
Suck it up, Kathleen. You've been tossing red meat to a caged rabid animal for two decades. No sympathy when it finally bites you.
Now, she whines:
...when we decide that a person is a traitor and should die for having an opinion different from one's own, we cross into territory that puts all freedoms at risk.
You reap what you sow, Kathleen. How do you think the liberal community has felt since George Bush took office?

May I be the first to quote Nelson from The Simpson; "Ha-Haa!"
Yeah, not as much fun to be the one on the receiving end of the verbal lashing as it is being the one dishing it, is it? Very hard to feel sympathy on this one.
they go places meet new people and kill them!
She's an asshole too.
She deserves some credit for her final line quoted above.
But, yeah, welcome to the reality based world, Kathleen. Wipe your feet.
Grab some popcorn and enjoy the meltdown. I wonder how long Malkin and Assrocket can hold out before the horde turns on them, too. :-D
What goes around, comes around.
Hey Kathleen, don't dish it out if you can't take it.
You've been serving it up for awhile now, so dig in and eat.
Smell that? The rancid stench of hate. Couldn't happen to a nicer wing nut.
Jesus Fucking Christ in a pickup truck. Has this woman listend to right wing talk radio over that past 8 years? Has she heard of Michael Savage? Does she have any idea what Rush says on a daily basis? does she watch Sean Hannity... ever? Cry me a fucking river!
We all have to stand up and say-- this is deplorable behavior.
"You reap what you sow." is not an acceptable response to this viciousness. Do you want to be like the Bush Administration and sink to the level of those we criticize for their low standards?

Republican = Thin Skin. Always has.
No sympathy for you, Kathleen. You knew full well who you were sleeping with.
That's right, Kathleen, it doesn't feel very good after all, does it? You're just as bad as those you're now talking about... about time for your karmic dose.
Welcome to the REAL Republican Party Kathleen. You will soon discover what we know, Right Wing America is a cancer on not just us but on mankind.
Ned Flanders just changed his registration. Boo diddly hoo Kat.
Yes, no sympathy. Speaking the truth means nothing to the Republican party. It is loyalty to the Motherland or death. She sure is stupid to think just because she is one of them they would let her slide.
whaaaaaa!!!!
poor poor k parker,
she can throw shit and spew
hate and bigotry and racism,
but she has blacked out her
mirrow when it confronts
her. poor poor bitch. not pity here.
so don't ask for any.
Ahhh, Kathleen Parker...a woman who once wrote an entire column in which she asserted that she could tell W was a good guy because - I'm not kidding - he drove a white pickup.
Women shouldn't be in the military because Ms. Parker's active duty brother was big and brawny and girls are small and weak.
Blacks are scary because she lives in an all white neighborhood.
Then there was the gem about wife abuse where Ms. Parker used all the expertise her small world endowed her with to state that there was no such thing as men using rape and sleep deprivation to abuse their wives because when her hubby woke her up. it was all warm snuggly love.
After that one, I just quit reading her useless tripe.
Kathleen Parker is what the right loves in a woman; not too bright, not too ambitious, not much intellectual curiosity, willing to be there just for show, and always projecting an air of still being just a gal who needs a big strong guy to take care of her.

Couldn't have said it better. Everyone's entitled to their opinion, but there's only one set of facts. And the fact is, this has been the primary product of Rush, the Savage Weiner, Hannity, Medved, Hewitt, Elder, Prager, and of course, this woman.
To break ranks and demonstrate a consideration of the facts is to threaten the entire fantasy that is the Right-Wing Spin Cycle.
I agree, the behavior of these Freepers is despicable, but now she knows why any 'Freeper' is (not "should be considered' but "IS") a threat to Americans everywhere.
Let's see, we had an expression we used on the mean streets of New York when I was a kid...... Hhhmmm.... what was it.....
oh yeah.....TOUGH SHIT BABY, you had it comin'.
Does that word make sense in context or did they mean "insipid"?
Be sure to check this link that is on the post. It is a very good read...
TimeTogether @ 11:
The woman ignored that crap when it was being slung at others....now that she's been soiled, she "feels our pain"? Of course it is "deplorable behavior", it always has been. The Conservatives laugh at people like you...as the knife slowly slides in your back.
Sometimes the universe saves up all your transgressions and slings them back at you all at once. Kathleen is having one of those days. Karma is, indeed, a bitch.
Even though almost anyone can predict the response from these freaks their hypocrisy always seems to surprise me. I think that surely this time they will be intellectually honest but no way they their own world and never ever let the real world enter. Right wing Republicans have been making be sick to my stomach for almost 60 years and there is no end in sight.
I get those kinds of emails in my YouTube account all the time. The right-wingers are violent. Stuff like, "You suck. Kill yourself and all of your liberal friends."
Justice has strange ways!
Next thing you know, Melanie Morgan, Ann Coulter and Michelle Malkin will be having "Road to Damascus" epiphanies, too.
NOT.
Piss off, Parker. You've been part of the problem for a very long time.
Hi Kathleen. Welcome to the Reality-Based Community. Things look a lot scarier from out here, don't they?
Not to worry. On the plus side, the air is fresher, the company is smarter and most of the comedy is on purpose.
Pull up a chair, sit down, and prepare to tough it out as best you can along with the rest of us.
Ahhh, it's so nice to see the scumbag wingnuts finally getting a taste of their own medicine. They're all starting to turn on each other now. It's going to be fun watching the bloodbath!!!
Stan @ 27:
Hard to say. Reich-wingers are largely illiterate. Probably "insipid" -- unless he meant that Dean was simply on the verge of being an ass. Doubtful.
Oh, those god-fearin' conservatives ... destroying life and language with equal aplomb ...
Stan @ 27:
Must be one o' them thar "morans."
All of these conservative assholes will complain about Palin but still vote for her anyway. It must be a bitch when both of your canidates suck.
It's nice to see the Republicans in such bad shape. I lived through to many years of their dysfunctional rule and I need a break from the incompetence. If only there was a way we could do away with them for good.
TimeTogether @ 11:
Um... "We" didnt do it: one of her fellow wing-nuts did. We're just commenting about that.
In true delusional rightwing thinking, she blames "partisanship"! Sure. The Republicans have been in congressional control for 14 years with the exceptin of the last 20 months, have held the Presidency for the last 8 years and have systematically purged Democrats from practically all levels of government. What a joke.
TimeTogether @ 11:
that says it all very good......i heard an interview with
a (R) alaska state representative. this person suggested
that Palin takes criticism/challenges to her policies very
personal. making it rather difficult. this is very typical
of black and white thinkers. the inability to process some differences. it also goes against the hardwiring
of people under the wrath of self-deception.
Geeze Louise
Conservatards are such whiners!
I for one am having a grand old time watching/listening to the right and their water carriers lose it, and losing it they are, their rhetoric is getting really really fierce now, they are just falling all over themselves and pulling out vile crap like never before. I wonder how they will take their losses come November 5th.....if the past 8 years of their vile rantings are any indication, they will not go away quietly. Ms. Parker, pls, victim isn't a good color for you.
Republicans play nice with you as long as you play by their rules. But when you step out of line you become a target of their anger. I guess Kathleen knows that now.
I wonder if McCain was talking about her when he mentioned the cocktail party set who is critical of Palin.
Last Sunday Stephanopoulos confronted McCain with the article Parker had written stating that Palin should be replaced. McCain acted as though he didn't recognize Parker's name. Just recently McCain was asked by someone if he was surprised that some were calling for Palin to step down or be replaced and he said he hadn't heard anything about something like that.
McCain seems to think we don't remember events from one minute or day until the next. Or maybe he's the one who can't remember.

roseyv @ 35:
Sorry, she ain't one of us just because she wrote one column that agrees with us. She's still a hateful, spiteful right wing columnist who suggested some Democrats should be shot and killed for their beliefs. Next week she'll be back to her old ways.
material vessel @ 1:
That's funny. I had the exact same first thought.
Wake up and smell the coffee, Kathleen! There are so-called "Americans" who do not believe in individual freedoms like free speech and freedom of assembly. They are the ones call for killing those who disagree with them and would throw in jail those who would protest on the street. I ask you: what is the difference between these so-called "Americans" and terrorists?
Why do the right wingnuts hate Americans?
Classic! Who let the dawgs out? You did!
No sympathy for one who has been a propagandist for an unworthy cause. She helped create the monster that is snapping at her throat. I wonder if she'll learn anything from it?
If you follow the articles and see where the "... should all be lined up and shot" comes from, she gives the guy a pass and says "OK, so he's a little emotional. We'll pardon him, given that earlier in the day he had learned of a pal's death in Afghanistan with whom he served several years."
When the figurative gun is pointed at her, then "we cross into territory that puts all freedoms at risk." Too bad she didn't feel the same way about someone who felt no better towards Democratic Candidates for President.
Hey Kathleen, if you're not with them, you're against them...remember...
btw, take it to a "free speech zone".
Poor, poor KP; after telling whoppers for years, she decided to tell an extremely obvious truth - for once.
Go back to bashing the Left, sweetie; we won't threaten your life even when you lie about us.
Like you do most of the time.
It's a horrible, horrible crime to tell even one truth about the rabid right.
Mmmmkay?
There is only one thing more satisfying than watching a cannibalistic right-wing feeding frenzy, and that is hearing the victim whine about it.
TimeTogether @ 11:
As driftglass said:
"It is a disease that took over the country by screaming that everyone who disagreed with it was a god-hating traitor, and if you expect one iota of pity from anyone on this side of the moral Universe for finally getting bitten by the mad dog you’ve been feeding all these years, you can go fuck yourself with a steam hammer.
Once that disease is eradicated, we’ll get right back to playing nice.
But until then, Anna Karenina, your locomotive is waiting.”"
Dutton Peabody @ 23:
Ewwww.... I don't want that image in my head.
Oh, les pauvre petites!! The little wingnuts gets their itto feelings hurt now when they get the same treatment they've been shitting on everybody else!
There's just nothing quite whiny-ass-titty-baby like a wingnut whose starving, ravaged dog has just turned on her and bit her scrofulous hand, is there?
Spare us the vapors honey. You knew what you were getting into when you started this crap.
Only it's not so funny when it's you on the receiving end, is it?
omg, these nutbags sound as nutty as the Clay Aiken fans whenever anyone would bring up his hidden homosexuality and their rabid defense of his manliness. I mean, they have met him haven't they. But I digress.
In this multi-media world we now live in I think "we" sometimes do become too invested in media figures, pundits, rock stars, actors, etc. because we are provided a overwhelming cacophony of useful and useless information at our instantaneously-grubbing fingertips.
It's all part of the "sale." Get us hooked and we'll keep coming back. Just ask any crack dealer.
…when we decide that a person is a traitor and should die for having an opinion different from one’s own, we cross into territory that puts all freedoms at risk.
Translation:
…when we decide that a fellow conservative person is a traitor and should die for having an opinion slightly different from one’s own, we cross into territory that puts all conservatives' freedoms at risk.
Haha, nailed...
ThunderMonkey @ 50:
That's the Muntz's.
I'm feeling mellow,
cause the leaves are all orange and yellow.
Maybe some of these people are waking up and seeing the light. Perhaps an interview with her by John or Nicole and try to see where she's going to go. I've never heard of her but I trust C&L'rs she's been rabid but I think these are the people who need to come out of the closet and tell their listeners that for this one time they should vote Obama/Biden. To tell their listeners that McCain/Palin is more of the same and worst and to fix America it's gotta be a Dem president.
Perhaps a kick in the teeth to the people that may be coming across to your camp is not the best idea. Every vote not for McSame counts.
btw the Canadian election leaders debate is tonight too. You can see what our bland neo-con PM has to say for himself and our bland royal opposition types too. I hope bland is good.
Don't you just long for the days of Dwight D. Eisenhower, when Republicans and Democrats were civil to each other and worked together in Congress? The rats who have taken over the G.O.P. should be hived into their bible-belt churches and allowed to drown in their own bile. It is the Evangelicals who hate the most. Join 'em Parker!
Kathleen says:
"…when we decide that a person
is a traitor andshould die for having an opinion different from one’s own, we cross into territory that puts all freedoms at risk. "Yeah, and that's why we used to have a Constitution that guaranteed our freedom and civil rights - the same Constitution that Bush and his neo-con friends (with her support) have been dismantling for lo these past 8 years.
Maybe Kathleen should start reading like, ya' know, the Patriot Act, or the FISA bill, or maybe a couple dozen of Georgie's signing statements...!!!
Thats what happends when you sleep with the Devil, Kathleen
[Deleted. Uh, ick-Sitemonitor]
I shed not a tear.
What you have discovered, Kathleen, is that Republicans do not take kindly to the truth.
What time does the debate start tonight?
Kate, you have faced the enemy and she is you.
Capatain Bitter Elitist Kangaroo @ 10:
...but she thought it was about those 'other' people, not her.
On a better note crude oil is down to about $93.00 a barrel. :^)
Who could have predicted that the sharks Kathleen chose to swim with would attack her themselves, once the scent of blood was in the water...
It really is troublesome when the mirror is held up to your own ugly and hateful face, isn't it, Kathleen?
And that "angry mail" you've received in the past, gosh, you had no idea that the anger was on another level when it's coming from your own minions?
You, sir and or madam, are an idiot, and I believe that you deserve to reap what you have sown.
Is that fair?
Too bad if it's not, it's the reality that you helped create, enjoy your own personal Frankenstein(s).
I hate to say it but our comments here are sounding pretty partisan. Let's not be guilty of what we fault the opposition for doing. We should collectively take this opportunity to strengthen our cause by welcoming new people/ideas/perspectives.
So she's learning (the hard way) that maybe she was on the wrong side of an important issue. Better late than never.
After all, wasn't it Abe Lincoln who said:
"The best way to destroy an enemy is to make him a friend."..?
Kathleen; yeah, it sucks. I hear you. Give us a call when you're ready.
People like Parker have been sore winners these last 8 years. They'll be sore losers when Obama wins. Look for more violence out of them.
On a more positive note, maybe she'll do some soul-searching and come to realize how wrong she's been all these years. Nah!!!!
dejah @ 60:
Actually, I wonder if she did know what she was getting into.
I have not read a her column in a year, but I seem to remember that she seemed remarkably uninformed and naive.
Not that that's en excuse; just sayin'.
I think that KP has a very superficial, George Bush kinda worldview...
No sympathy here. If she chose to play that game she has to face the possibility of being on the receiving end.
Time to suck it up, Kathleen. Put on your big girl panties and deal with it.
It's always amusing when right-wingers start eating their own. Sure, everyone loves the smell of their own brand until one wakes up and realizes the product is a vapid stool. But to cry foul that it smells, decades after the majority has been trying to say the exact same thing, well it just loses it's novelty. The GOP needs to go dormant and rediscover themselves. They have imploded with hate, derangement, greed, you name it. they're ill from their own doing and have run out of people to blame. Rats in a corner!
Her response sounds more like a commie, socialist, fag-loving, blame America first tree hugger to me. I wonder if she'll have a Scrooge-wake-up moment I was hoping from Ted Haggard....
Go here to sign the petition from Women Against Palin - http://salsa.wiredforchange.com/o/5558/t/3691/petition.jsp?petition_KEY=483
Sign our petition: "Governor Palin, for the good of the country, please step down as John McCain's running mate."
I've been a voter for 43 years, and until the arrival of GW Bush, I've never in my life voted a straight ticket. I always believed the country was in good hands no matter which party had the WH. Boy. was I ever wrong! I am now the yellowist of the Yellow Dog Democrats, and I will never vote for anyone who isn't a registered Democrat. The rethuglican party has been destroyed these last 8 years, and it's now all people as you are seeing John McCain behave, they are ugly, vindictive, hypocritical and scurrilous liars. They are corrupt, incompetent, irresponsible and reprehensible. They must be avoided at all costs.
Ok...I know it's become cliched..but...call the WAAAAAAAAAAAAAHMBULANCE.
Hmm...maybe a bullet proof waaaaaaaaaaaahmbulance.
ysbaddaden @ 69:
Your welcome
"After 20 years of column writing, I’m familiar with angry mail. But the past few days have produced responses of a different order. Not just angry, but vicious and threatening."
So after 20 years of going after the left, you received "angry mail." Within a few days of criticizing someone on the right, you've received "vicious and threatening" messages of a whole "different order." Does this maybe tell you something, Kathleen?

No, Sheryl, if we were the ones dishing it out, that would be one thing. For the right to eat the children it's born...too darned bad. I had hate mail in my brief stint as a journalist, namely someone suggesting that I should be caned. Difference was, this was a very small community. Chances are, anybody I wrote about would be in the stands at at least one basketball game or council meeting or what-have-you. When you have to eat where you live, it makes a big difference. You learn to respect the power of the keyboard under you like you should respect a loaded gun in your hand or the lethal potential of any car you drive.
If she's suddenly the "victim" of the hatemongerers whose prejudices and knee-jerk reactions she's fed for years, well boo-@#$%^&-hoo. The First Amendment is a responsibility as well as a right. Funny how a liberal has to explain that, ain't it?
"Now, she whines:
…when we decide that a person is a traitor and should die for having an opinion different from one’s own, we cross into territory that puts all freedoms at risk."
and the are armed.
Kathleen, head to the nearest supermarket and pick up some Zantac, cause it is going to get a lot worse. Also, you will need to work on your thin skin now. Also tell your children, if you have any, that they will be targets too. Nothing is off-limits to those people. Oh wait, you should have already known that. Good Luck, and remember if you need someone to provide support don't call us!!!
