Hunter at DailyKos goes absolutely apesh*t on Matt Drudge and company

See, Drudgey-poos and the Far Reich made this claim (and variants on it) about the reaction to Judge Alito:

Meanwhile, the Democratic National Committee sent out talking points this morning titled: "Judge 'Scalito' Has Long History Of States Rights, Anti-Civil Rights, And Anti-Immigrant Rulings." More from the DNC's anti-Italian American talkers: "Alito is often referred to as 'Judge Scalito' because of his adherence to Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia's right-wing judicial philosophy."

Well, Hunter at DailyKos went absolute bugf*ck on them. A choice sample is behind the impending cut.


And I will be God Damn Fucking Dead And In a Hole In The Fucking Ground before I let you claim "Italian American" OR Roman Catholic as a fucking code phrase for batshit conservative reactionaries whose dismissal of womens' rights, civil rights, worker rights, and pretty much everything else that has made America great make it clear they think all those things are akin to something they would normally scrape off their shoes.

There's nothing fucking "Italian American" about being an ultra-far-right conservative jackass. You will not drag my heritage into this like you shoved Alito's well-groomed hand up Rosa Parks' corpse, or I will bury you, you loathsome little egg-humping fucker. And unlike most of the victims of your only-like-a-minority-when-they're-dead corpse huggings, I'm still very much alive.


Oh, this is going to get good! If you're somewhere you can read the ranting of an exceedingly honked off Italian-American with a rather impressive command of profanity, read this. If not, read it when you get home and in either case be prepared to go "Holy sh*t!" and giggle a lot. Wow.

Usually I dismiss profanity as a lack of creativity, but in this case I think it was well used, with the correct emphasis, to thoroughly derail an attempt at setting up Democrats for a charge of racism. Nice.

I love it

I loved especially:
"I'm part Sicilian, and I'm another big part Scottish, which means between the two of them that my natural demeanor in this fight is to rip off your arms, beat you to death with them, and serve the remains stuffed in dissected sheep parts and delivered to your parents' doorstep."

Oh, serious, serious adoration!

Does the DNC even have "talking points"?
