Call to action..."100 hurting America" - some a-wipe

[MH1]

listed Kerry!

Here's where you can vote:

(it will take a while - I still haven't finished mine, so I don't know how JK is doing - also, *READ THE INSTRUCTIONS*)

EDIT NOTE: I just tried to submit ratings and the page wouldn't come up. Nor would the results when I clicked "view results." It's also not listed on the home page under "public polls". So maybe they took it down.

Here's my comment on a dkos diary where I posted my thoughts on the subject - liberal use of the F word may mean I need some mojo help (i.e. go rate my comment a '4' to show solidarity, if you agree - and I think you will):

The original diary:

Apparently this started with some previous diaries but I didn't go back and look at them.

1. And the offender is...

a poster who goes by the username "traitorbushchimp".

My reply to him:

Just drop the "bushchimp" part , (none / 0)

and your moniker will be more appropriate.

What have you EVER done for this country, that you have the right to tear down a good man like Kerry, who is one of our most reliable liberals in the Senate, and is continually working his ass off to help this country? But then you apparently have no idea of what he is doing - or how politics actually works in this country. Do I agree with everything Kerry has said and done? Hell NO! But goddamn it out of 100 people who are hurting this country HOW THE FUCK does Kerry even come close?

I have no idea who you are, but your post here fills me with absolute contempt.

And the guy(gal?) "Norwell" who started the thread, had just rejected someone's suggestion to put Michael Moore on the list. But he listed Kerry. Jerk.

Just so you know who some of those people are over at dailykos, if you encounter them on a non-Kerry thread. (It will be obvious on a Kerry thread, of course.)

2. The poll works now - worth checking it out.

The site hosting the poll is actually a pretty cool site about alternative vote calculation methods (such as instant-runoff voting). It's worth checking out for its own sake.

The good news is that most respondents gave Kerry a "-10" which in the context of this poll, means strongest possible disagreement that he is even on the list.

And thanks to whome and dpc for stopping by and "4-ing" my rant. It truly was one of my better ones, I think. Especially since I had to fix so many typos because I was too pissed to even type decently.

3. JK still a strong #100.

It is an interesting poll.
Santorum #12? I thought he would do better than that.
:shrug:
And Bolton at 'lucky 13' (not lucky for long, that dude is going down).

Guess Rove is 'da man'. Too bad, I was hoping it would be Cheney.

4. Great post, MH1

I don't often read Kos, but I signed up to rate you. I don't think it will let me, though, until tomorrow.

You really gave that guy what he had coming. Nicely done.
:applause: :applause: :applause:

5. Thanks!

The one I posted in the comments here is actually a follow-up. Curiosity got the better of me and I tracked down the original guy who said Kerry should be listed.

My first rant (the one linked in the OP) is much, much better, IMO.

So I'm not sure which you're referring to but thanks for the compliment!

6. I read your original

and it was killer. I assume no response from the ahole?

7. Heh, no response.

I guess I'm not expecting one.

I thought some folks might troll-rate it for the "traitor" bit, but that's just how I feel. I just decided I was tired of being nice when these people are playing those games.

I'll probably be back to my normal self tomorrow though. Sigh.
