Ed Kemmick Writes the Political Column of 2010

Ed's Column (0.00 / 0)

I read it - and even commented on it.

It made me realize that I should email Jason Priest a correction -

It's not the 'dry thumb' Obama is giving us - LOL.

Really Matt - is this particularly newsworthy anymore?

I hadn't heard about the Miles City noose (0.00 / 0)

Plus, columns are generally considered to be commentary, not news. I just think Ed ably rounded it up.

Hey, Ed's a Montanan! (0.00 / 0)

What the hell is he SUPPOSED to do?  Ed has the balls to call bullshit on these wackjobs.  It's a great column.  It's about time that someone from the mainstream media let these morons have it.  I take  my hat off to Ed.  Hey, we all gotta live here.  We can't allow hatred and bigotry to become normal.  And these idiots MUST be exposed for what they are, the fringiest of the outer fringe!  Ed, good job!  You are STILL probably the best columnist in the state,  bar none!  As long as we have folks like Ed and the lady who berated the idiots with the noose, Montana will be OK.

He forgot to include Rehberg (0.00 / 0)

in his inventory of Montana tea-bagger extremists.  Remember, he signed up for Michele Bachmann's Tea-Party Caucus.

Possible sign: REHBERG TOO EXTREME FOR MONTANA

That's right? (0.00 / 0)

Ed forgot Dopey Rehburp!  Dopey's  gonna shoot the president, remember?  Or at least lead the charge!  What a man!  What a man that Dopey Rehburp is in his little pretend cowboy outfit!  But ya gotta wonder, while wearin' his cute little costume in D.C., do you think that he ever gets mistaken for one of the Village People?  Could happen ya know, D.C. bein' what it is and Dopey bein' who he is!  I wonder, can he sing?!!!! I'll quit now.

Wow! I DID just "dip into the comments". (0.00 / 0)

Boy that Ed.  Here all along I thought that he was a nice guy. But come to find out from reading the comments, that he's really a gay-loving, unpatriotic, America hating, flag burning, commie, elitist, bigotted, leftist, Pelosi-loving, Obamabot!  Or some such.  What do you have to SAY for yourself, Ed?  I mean, THAT many wackos  can't be ALL wrong!  Can they?  Poor Ed.  Sometimes doing the right thing brings out the real hilarity in the wackjob crowd.  Ya just gotta  wonder how they store up  so much hatred.  Don't they work?  Don't they have REAL things to worry about?  Did they inculcate NO American values growing up?  I don't get it.  They want "their" America back, but the sad reality is that these losers posting from their basements in their underwear have ALWAYS been disenfranchised! They've ALWAYS been stupid and uneducated.  And they've NEVER had much of a voice or national exposure.  Guess that's why they like Sarah so much.  She gives them voice!

Careful Larry - (0.00 / 0)

You better not fawn on Ed too much - isn't he the same blogmeister who tossed you from City Lights a  number of years ago? - LOL

Hell, Eric, (0.00 / 0)

EVERYONE'S tossed me from their sites!  This is the only one that I HAVEN'T been tossed from.  But you see, what Ed said I've been saying for YEARS!  He may want to invite me back.  Eric, I will tell you this.  It's a damn lonely business being prescient.  You  see, I started dealing with rightwing nutjobs LONG before it was popular.  I know'em well.  Everyone else gave them the benefit of the doubt because, let's face it, most people can't even BEGIN to fathom the depth of their depravity.  Well I can.  I knew better.  The rest of the world is just catching up to me.  These rightwing folks are stupid evil.  And they must not be allowed to become a legimate part of the governing process.  We do NOT govern by hate and intimidation.  Ed was simply pointing this out.  He's caught up.  And that's a good  thing.

p.s.  Left in the west is unafraid to allow a full range of comments.  Readers must understand that I represent NO ONE but myself. I'm sure that I make Matt uncomfortable sometimes, but he still doesn't toss me.  The TRVTH comes in many forms, sometimes even in Crazy Wisdom.

I never tossed you - (0.00 / 0)

The only person I regularly deleted was the guy impersonating Ed Kemmick, and the 'Crazy Pig Guy' who tried to spoof Rob Kailey -

Oh do be honest, Eric (0.00 / 0)

You did toss your entire website ... twice.

Not the same - (0.00 / 0)

Taking time off from blogging isn't really tossing anybody, is it?

(and BTW - I never did figure out who the wacko was with the crazy pig face that was trolling you)

by: Eric Coobs @ Tue Sep 14, 2010 at 21:18:52 PM UTC

Uh, Eric (0.00 / 0)

Taking time off of blogging is not nuking the site from orbit, which is what you did ... twice.
