Well, boo-hoo, hoo-hoo-hoo.
Poor little Amanda puts up a site entitled “MurthLied” and gets nasty
emails. Wow, what a shocker.
What happened is that Amanda got caught with her URL down when progressive
readers found her out. But all she could respond with was emails. Two can play that
game, babe.
Duncan Hunter's Evildoers are attacking Murtha
for comments he has made and continues to make about Iraq, with which a majority
of the American people agree, let me add. Make sure you read the
comment section, too.
Raw Story tells part of the tale of Hunter's Spawn, including a little push back in the interview from yours
truly. Here's a big snippet, but read the
whole story.
Earlier today, Doss fired back by posting some of the emails she received
which she characterized as “hateful and even threatening.”“I would like to share some of hateful and even threatening emails I
have recently received due to these blogs, before this website was even created,”
Doss wrote. “Whether you are a Democrat or a Republican, please feel
free to email these 'sweethearts' and let them know how proud of them you
are for the way they represent the Democratic party.”“Interesting that a political whore would pick a name like “streetcorner”.
I've wonder who you'll be doing on the corner,” wrote one emailer.“You vile 'swiftboaters' (translation: idiot cowards and despicable
liars) will get your asses kicked all over the media this time, you are the
lowest form of human beings there could possibly be, and on top of that YOU
are just plain ugly,” wrote another. “Please crawl under a rock
and die.”Bailey was surprised when informed by RAW STORY that Doss went live with
the site, but though he doesn't want to detract from the intended purpose
of the site, he understood why Doss went ahead, since she was very upset with
some of the emails she had received.(snip)
Liberal bloggers respond
“I don't regret putting her email address in my post because her email
address was widely available,” Sean-Paul Kelley told RAW STORY. “What
I regret was that people used her email to send her nasty comments instead
of trying to engage her in a substantive debate.”In fact, personal information about someone connected to Doss was posted
by one Agonist reader, and Kelley immediately deleted it.Taylor Marsh, a blogger and author who hosted a radio show called “The
Antidote to Right Wing Talk” (“now on hiatus” according to
Marsh's Website bio), also has done some digging into “Murtha Lied.”“…Republicans like their soldiers serving, silent and standing for
photo ops, not talking back,” Marsh wrote at her blog. “When a vet
speaks out he's targeted. Murtha is just the latest.”In a phone interview, Marsh talked about both the nature of the anti-Murtha
site itself, and Doss' posting of the “hateful” emails.“They can print emails and we can print emails,” Marsh told RAW
STORY.Marsh even has a section at her eponymous Website devoted to the hate mail
and threats she has received through the years.“You Godless Bitch…I hope you die the worst possible death in retribution
for the slander you espouse,” wrote one emailer. “I would love to
see you die by the hands of the heartless people you defend, why don't you
travel to a foreign country, get kidnapped and raped, and die?”At her site, Marsh reports that a former Vietnam Veterans For Truth associate
has ties to Republican Congressman Duncan Hunter, a Vietnam veteran who served
in the Army and who authored the resolution which the Republican Party misrepresented
as Murtha's.(NOTE: A second article based on interviews with Bailey, Marsh and others
will be posted at RAW STORY in a few days.)New

Round one goes to the progressives.
What happened to John Kerry isn't going to happen to Murtha. Got it, Amanda?
