Some of the funniest ones:

Democratic Underground is a apt name for you morons, as you obviously live under a rock.

DU RESPONDS: It's true, we do live under a rock. Unfortunately for you, we've got a bitchin' T-1 connection down here, and we're in a very, very bad mood.

While I do not agree with a whole lot, or at all, with the content of your website, I still come here for shits and giggles. As a lifelong Republican, and a listener of Rush no less, I've heard it all before. You are entitled to your opinion, no matter how wrong it may be. All the more reason for education reform.

I have 3 points to make though.
#1 Rush Limbaugh is not fat anymore.
#2 George W is not stupid, just wait and see.
#3 On your most recent conservative idiot list, you listed Dan Quayle as #4. I'm not saying he shouldn't be on the list, however in your explination you said, "Dan shoots into third place." He can't spell, you can't count. Call it a wash and let him be.

Thats all I have to say. Nothing stupid like some of the other mail you get, but hey, there are morons everywhere.

DU RESPONDS: Thank you for the important clarifications. It's nice to know that SOMEONE out there has the (Rush is fat) integrity and courage to inform us of such heinous mistakes as we strive daily to bring you totally accurate reporting (Rush is fat). We can only pray that our credibility has not been totally destroyed by (Rush is fat) these monumental journalistic errors.

Hey lets make references to Rush's weight problem even after he lost over 100 lb????? Can we say INFORMED????

DU RESPONDS: 700 lbs. - 100 lbs. = still fat.

I hope I never see you people in New York cause this I promise you. I will spit in your faces. You people are everything that is wrong with this country. If you idiots would pick up a paper and read it, you would know that Bushs lead is growing in Florida. So may I say that you can all go fuck yourselves. I hope you have a terrible four year. I know how you morons feel cause for the last 8 yrs. I too haven't had a president. Now I will take a lot of joy in seeing you scumbags go thorough changes. Pray to God that I never run into you pricks in the streets.

DU RESPONDS: We here at DU can hardly contain our glee that your new Senator is Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Because we right wingers are winning and you can't handle it. We own the presidency, the house and the senate and just wait till Ashcroft gets done investigating the slime of the last 8 years. Tee hee.

DU RESPONDS: Yep, you "own" the Presidency alright. You paid for it fair and square.

[Deja Q]

1. If Maddox will show e-mails of those who disagree with him, why not DU?

I've loooooooooooooooooove to respond to some of these people.

On the other hand, they're not worth anybody's time.

[Maddy McCall]

2. Oh but how much fun to read...

would love to respond to some too, but whoever is doing it is doing a great job. Love the sarcastic wit!

[proud patriot]

3. The hate mailbag always brings a smile to my face

The responses are written by EarlG I believe .

[Crunchy Frog]

4. If that's the case

then EarlG is a genius. The hatemail shows that we are certainly hitting some sensitive spots. They wouldn't hate us so much if they didn't know deep down that we're right and they're wrong.
