Blue Flypaper is clearly a satire site. That pic of Kerry alone was priceless, Fonda in Vietnam... Blue Flypaper damns its subjects with empty praise and backhanded compliments. On Alec Baldwin: "He even threatened the whole country that they just might lose Alec Baldwin if they elected GW as President. I wouldn't be surprised if that threat alone brought 1 million or more votes to the Democrats. " What a hoot! I am wracking my brains to come up with an amusing comment. Heh heh.

The following discussion from http://www.netatty.com/privacy/privacy.html is relevant: Individual states specifically prohibit defamation, no matter what form it takes. Defamation consists of false and unprivileged publication which results in economic damages. Financial loss is not necessary where the statement implies that a person is a criminal or has an unpleasant disease, or which injures a person in respect to his other office, profession, or business. A judge in Texas issued an injunction to stop defamatory posting by an Internet user. 17 Hate messages sent by e-mail have also resulted in criminal penalties. 18 In some cases, companies have asked the court system to identify the authors of anonymous defamatorymessages. This has been done by filing "John Doe" lawsuits andissuing subpoenas to Yahoo! and other message boards where individuals have posted the disparaging messages. 19 Most such subpoenas go unchallenged. So please, share. Just don't identify anyone.

Why pick on us though? We are hardly alone in debunking Krugman or challenging the statements of Boxer. We always thought we did it with a sense of style and humor. I would like to issue an Independent Sources version of a fatwah on them but that might just piss them off even more. As for publishing the hate mail, let me see if there is anything keep us from posting them or at least excerpts. Good idea. One thing for certain, the site is a good place for me to see what the moonbats are up to. I’ll admit the site as the sincerity of a gnat and, I might add, equally annoying. Why pick on us though?

Blue Flypaper appears to be a satire site. (though, having not seen the e-mails, I can't say for certain.) I'd be curious to see what hate mail your site is getting. It might be good for a laugh or three. I have to agree with Mitch. Blue Flypaper appears to be a satire site. (though, having not seen the e-mails, I can’t say for certain.)

The articles and commentary are just too boilerplate for it to be anything else. Of course I am assuming this because there seems to be no reasoning or thought behind the ideas posted, so I guess they COULD be true liberals.

I think that Indepedent Sources is a joke. Who could possibly have a problem with Barbara Boxer?

I don’t even know where to start with that one.
