Feedback
I received a comment to my blog today on BE:
Lame. Way too many words on the page for me to possibly hope to read easily.
Here’s a bulletin for ya: This is a BLOG, not NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC.
On a more positive note, I received a review from SC&A, you can see it here. Beth at My Vast Right Wing Conspiracy was reviewed in that same post.
And I received an email from Shannon Hubbell–this time a private rant, asking for clarification and a response, peppered with more insults. Dear readers, Shannon is a GUY.
Rick, at Rightwing Nuthouse, posted Shannon’s commentary on the Sandinistas with our rebuttals. Go check it out here.
And last but not least, I will be filling in as a guest blogger over at It Is What It Is-for Zeke. He has a few other bloggers who will be helping out while he’s moving his family from Maryland to Alabama. I wish his family the best. His wife has been packing while he’s been in denial, but hopefully he’s ‘coming to grips’ with the whole thing.

Tell Shannon to count his blessings.
I have a first cousin named Francis- and yesm Francis uses the mens room, too.
I have no idea what my aunt was thinking at the time.

I’m sure he’ll be lurking if he doesn’t have the courage to post, SC&A.
Thanks, EC, I appreciate the kind words. I put a modest effort into this thing and it is disheartening to receive feedback like that. Ambergnat is one of the better blogs out there, IMHO, EC.

You DO know why the BE poster ‘reads’ National Geographic, right?
December 29th, 2004 at 11:08 am
Yes, that’s why I said that.

One word:
IDIOT.
This is why the good Lord created the Back button on the browser.
If you don’t like what you see, move on.
I happen to like “writer’s” blogs, especially if they’re intelligent, which yours is. FWIW, the same thing has been said of VC, but that just means they’ll be happier with Instapundit. That’s why we have variety.
It’s a foolish consumer who wants to limit all the flavors to plain vanilla just because that’s all he likes.
While all of us can probably benefit from trying to be more concise in our writing, be yourself Cao. That’s why your readers come here - they like who you are.

my favorite comment of all time:
your post was way too long for me to read but let me respond to it anyway
MORON!

Thanks, Cass. I would say more on this but I’m not over the swearing part.

Some people are just plain hateful. Your blog looks great and is always interesting too. Ignore that bunk!

Ok, are ya ready for an answer to that, Leanne? Put on your riding gear and don’t forget your helmet and goggles–we’re going for a ride.
Take a look at this article, here.
It’s written by Adam Sparks, token conservative columnist at SFGATE.com (San Francisco Chronicle), who submitted this essay to NewsMax.com after SFGATE rejected it.
I think that piece just about says it all. The guy is connected with ANSWER, among others. Totally despicable character, working against American interests. Here’s an example of what I’m talking about:
Mohammad Daoud al-Owhali, a student of Osama bin Laden, guided a truck packed with explosives into the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi, Kenya in 1998. He was also seen throwing grenades at the guards, before he fled. The bomb-laden truck killed 213 and injured scores of others.
American Embassies are considered American soil and attacking our embassy is an Act of War. The same al-Owhali was implicated in the bombings at Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, which killed 224 and critically injured 4,500.
Fortunately, al-Owhali was finally caught and brought back to justice in the United States. Only one attorney would volunteer to handle this brutal murderer and sworn enemy of the United States: Ramsey Clark. Clark soon began to use the courtroom as a bully pulpit to rail against U.S. policies around the world.
For decades, this icon of the American Left has vilified America at every turn while siding with and giving Aid and Comfort to nearly every single one of America’s sworn enemies from North Vietnam, Yugoslavia, Libya and Iraq, to name a few.
Former Attorney General Clark, in his capacity as founder and head of International Action Center (a major organizing component of the current anti-war A.N.S.W.E.R.), which was founded both by Clark and the leaders of the Workers World Party several years ago, produced a document called an “Appeal To Troops.”
Clark urged insurrection and mutiny of our soldiers while a war was raging in Europe with our troops. He wrote:
“President Clinton and the Pentagon generals have put you in danger … Kosovo is Vietnam. During that war, the Pentagon had ordered–a burn all, kill all assault on the civilian population. Atrocities like that also led many U.S. soldiers to drug addiction, suicide and mental breakdowns. But there were other U.S. troops that resisted the war. Hundreds of thousands refused to go into aggressive action.”
Hundreds of thousands? Holy smoke! And ne’er a peep from anyone in the mainstream media. Whad’ya know?
There’s so much dirt out there on this guy-it’s unbelievable. Here are a few links. Click here, here, here, hereand here.
