Subject: Jeff Koopersmith the communist

AP [sic] should be ashamed and Jeff Koopersmith, shame on you for attacking the young man who wrote the book about the impact Bill Clinton made on him. Jeff is a marxist [sic], Stalin loving [sic] communist. And his article insinuating that the media is conservative is pure propaganda and communist shrill [sic]. The guys lives on another planet. Jeff, I hope someday you awaken from your commie dream world.

Do you have permission to use you TAXPAYER-FINANCED e-mail account to write hate mail?

Subject: Jeff Koopersmith

Just read Koopersmith's diatribe against Tammy Bruce from last December.

I was immensely impressed by Koopersmith's stunningly stupid verbiage. It was breathtaking in its scope and jaw-dropping in its venomous (and completely ignorant) attacks upon Bruce.

It really IS true: Left-wing ideologs [sic], when confronted with facts they do not like, become so vicious one can almost see the spittle forming at the corner of their nasty mouths. I am convinced they hope their loud and ugly screeching will help cover up the fact that they are truly bereft of any cogent, relevant, or sane response to opposition.

By the way, Tammy Bruce is not alone in her views as Koopersmith states. She is very much part of the main stream [sic] of thought among those who think. An unrecognizable - to Koopersmith - portion of the population, I realize. And lumping together everyone who is a resident of those areas of the country he ridicules as beer-swilling ignoramuses just adds credence to the notion that he is nothing more than an obnoxious, loud and ignorant twit (read dick head [sic]).

The Koopersmith's [sic] of the world do no service to the audience they wish to impress, which is other left-wing nuts (others are impressed by him but not in way Koopersmith probably imagines). By aligning themselves with his ilk, they gain the contempt of most of the country, not to mention anyone in the world who is assaulted by his noise, and rightly so.

One more thing. Koopersmith's criticism of Bruce's looks is just plain silly. My advice: Look in the mirror, Jeff. On second thought, maybe you shouldn't. The reflection you would see would be an accurate one and that you could not stand.

With no respect whatsoever...

Your e-mail has been forwarded to the author of the article which you referenced.

Two notes:

1) You wrote:

"Left-wing ideologs..."

You mean "ideologues." Learn to spell.

2) I don't know any "left wing ideologs [sic]" who oppose McCain-Feingold-style campaign finance reform or support the flat tax. Mr. Koopersmith does. Perhaps it would behoove you to know exactly whom it is that you are attacking before spouting off via e-mail with predictable and, frankly, tiresome and redundant knee-jerk idiocy and insult which reads like the boilerplate hate mail we receive every day.

In a word, "Yawn."
