Attack Dogs for Edelson

Folks, I grew weary of reading about how Republicans and conservatives are the ones using vile and insulting language in their posts.  So, I searched the posts of various Edelson supporters who post on the Patch, and came up with the highlights copied below.  I’ve only been posting on the Patch for less than two months.  Over that time, I would say that the language from the left is generally worse than that from the right.  Not in every case – but in general.  I didn’t copy the entire post for each because it would total many thousands of words.  I only wanted to highlight the pervasive use of insults, invective, slurs, slights, name-calling, verbal abuse, and just plain old rudeness.   So – don’t read these for content.  That’s not why I put them here.

end it now! October 28, 2013 at 03:52 PM

.... it seems to be a Republican habit. Spread half truths and lies without learning the facts.

End it Now, it was a terrible few days for the Tearing Southbury Apart Team. …. appoint by all accounts, the biggest fool in town to a committee …. Then we get Sherlock … conducting an investigation and issuing his 1st press release since Jesus was a carpenter…. What a desperate ploy by a bitter and vengeful man. …. needs to be impeached for hiding issues from the selectmen and his own board, immediately.

FAIL!!! Boob Barnz, Jiffy Boyville and Doc Pace spent the last 3 months making complete fools of themselves …...HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa Everyone knew it was coming for the last 2 weeks because they're not smart enough to keep their mouths shut, but what did Johnny Boy do? .....HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa Too little, too late Johnny... HaHaHaHaHaHaHa .....HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa ….. neither are the dufus squad supporting this. …. You put da lime in da coconut...HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa

….. You are the Nazi's, trying to brainwash the uninformed with fabrications. ….

…. your opinion matters about as much as Boob Barnz, Jiffy Boyville and Doc Pace's do. That is, not at all. ….You sound so much like Palin, Paul, Cruz and Bachman attacking the president it's scary to think anyone you dolts support could ever be in office. I've seen this before where the dufus detail who are hiding behind fake names continue without question but those who disagree with their dimwitted opinions get called out for using them. I don't use my real name because it's embarrassing to be on Patch answering your stupidity and obvious partisan rhetoric. Chicken guano, that's funny Doctor coming from a team of rejects spouting nothing but bovine feces.

… ….What's more troubling is that …. supports and encourages the extreme right wing/tea party faction of his party and their attacks on cops, firemen and town truck drivers. …

Why hasn't anyone been arrested for what the Library Board of Directors and Chairman of the Board of Finance did ….

"Ted" you happen to be the one showing that your part of that group of tea party republicans who interpret facts as idiocy and lunacy. ….

….This election is not about innuendo, falsehoods and hard feelings which you certainly have an abundance of. ….Mr … is "an empty suit." …. The voters frankly don't care about the mindless drivel you espouse. …. you need to get that through your stubborn, naive head. Once again, Quit the sniveling, back-biting, bellyaching and nonsense and address what voters want to hear instead of this continued drivel of idiocy.

"Wake up and smell the BS". The whole town did last week … every time … opens his trap. …. No real issue here except the ramblings of some trailer trash who think their smart and hide behind their Cyber Muscles calling people names. That … joker must be so pleased … and then he crapped on her memory. ….

They didn't learn from Mitt Romney either. Hmmm, look at all the similarities: Empty suit, clueless, tax shelters, anti-government, arrogant and hides behind uneducated letter writing goons…. they'll have to buy their followers another box of crayons!

And also one if the dumbest!

tfriedman49 October 18, 2013 at 04:02 PM

Did everyone get the … LIAR FLYER in the mail today? The voters are more intelligent than this republican campaign takes them for. This campaign isn't about the smoke screen of lies spread by the goon squad against Mr. …, it's about the unqualified republican candidate for first selectman not having his finger on the pulse of town government, or if he even has a pulse himself. …. no one with half a brain identifies with the republican party anymore. ….Everything printed is a lie and has been debunked by facts, but like the national party, facts mean nothing to republicans…. How much are they spending on this drivel? Disgusting hypocrites the lot of them.

tfriedman49 October 12, 2013 at 12:31 PM

You obviously can't read and understand …. Did I use too many big words for you?

tfriedman49 October 13, 2013 at 11:41 AM

Today's Republican American article shows … and his wife to be arrogant, insensitive along the same caliber of the Romney family. …. Putting … in charge of tax dollars would be a crime….. As for … defending the other criminal family in republican politics in Southbury, …. Electing Southbury republicans is putting the criminals in charge of the prison.

…. hopefully Andy and Barney at the Sheriffs Office can get to the bottom of it …. Someone should ask … what he thinks. Maybe we can find out from him that the money was taken by a Kenyan Socialist Muslim in cahoots with the corrupt IRS to set up death panels.

You are a neophite Mr. …, but worse than the lack of experience you are a liar. Like the idiots you hide behind spewing venom and lies in their letters and their commentary at meetings, you have no idea what you are talking about. …. You are not only inexperienced and a liar, you have become their lackey. …. Inexperienced, Liar, Plagiarizer, Unethical ….

tfriedman49 October 09, 2013 at 03:55 PM

So as a follow up to your being inexperienced, a liar, a plagiarizer, unethical …

There isn't a Southbury republican who would know the truth if they tripped over it. …. .. Southbury Republican = Corrupt Criminals

tfriedman49 October 11, 2013 at 03:27 PM

 …. it is a campaign of attack and smear … while hiding an unqualified and incompetent candidate behind lies and smoke screens perpetuated by the attack dogs who aren't smart enough to see what they were put up to. It is so close to the National Republican party and its lying games, it's scary. I have a new campaign slogan for this years slate of republicans. "… and the GOP team - Brought to you by the same clueless town committee that …

Arguing with you feels like picking on a special needs kid. No one cares about your opinion. …. He picked on your brother? Boo Hoo. …. . your goon squad hiding behind the names .. while they perpetrate baseless and ignorant attacks. Prove my post wrong with facts there Spanky!

tfriedman49 October 09, 2013 at 03:48 PM

…. Republicans have done the same thing for decades. You want to appoint people to commissions then win the election, but you need to run someone with half a brain first and you haven't had that in a first selectman candidate in years.

tfriedman49 October 10, 2013 at 05:07 PM

You're an idiot!
