Tuesday, March 30, 1999 --- New York (APJP) -- One might assume that the hateful level to which political "rhetoric" was ratcheted up on the Internet and so-called "talk" radio during the Lewinsky flap and impeachment coup attempt would have died down with the acquittal and exoneration of President William Jefferson Clinton.

No such luck, we're afraid.

Hard-righters are popping retreads on every half-baked rumor they can glom onto -- including Juanita Broaddrick's frankly unbelievable allegation that Clinton forced himself on her back when he was running for Arkansas Attorney General -- an allegation that looks awfully fishy when one takes a look at the facts surrounding the manner in which the allegation was recently publicized, including the ties of the Broaddrick camp to hate web sites and dirty tricksters with a track record of trying to take down Clinton.

Anti-Clinton web sites openly brag that their traffic is up in the two months after the "Not Guiltys" rang through the senate chamber -- traffic denouncing Clinton, liberals, and anyone who does not share their narrow worldview.

In fact, even American Politics Journal has seen an upswing in hate mail.

Here is one such example -- along with the reply of Mac MacArthur, our managing editor.

Dear Sirs or Madams,

Liberals suck. Because of you liberals, our country is in moral decay. Because of you liberals, we are losing our constitutional rights by the day. Because of you liberals, we can't even speak normally (political correctness).

Because of you whiny liberals, the majority suffers because of the minority. Take most gun owners for example, the majority is normal, but we are constantly being penalized because of a few people.

You think that you are the most intelligent beings on the earth, so smart that you even reject that there is a God, and Why? Because the truth be known, you liberals don't like being told right from wrong, and the bible points out your wrongs(homosexualitly, bestiality, bisexuality, pro-abortionists, etc., And on the subject of abortion, you say its a fetus, it can't feel pain. But let me ask you this: If the fetus, embryo, call it what you will, had not been aborted, what might it have become? LIFE is the answer, and shame on you for the countless deliberate murders you support or have willingly committed yourself. Thank God your parents didn't feel the same way that you feel about a human life. Homosexuality by the way is wrong. Let me site a something specific that no one talks about anywhere. Your teeth are for chewing right? Your eyes are for seeing right? Your mouth is for eating and drinking right? Well guess what your ANUS is for the sole purpose of defecating and nothing else. Like abortion, homosexuality is not natural. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that men and women, yet opposites, compliment each other. You have confused this country and weakened its spirits, (Clinton and others like you). The people should be sick of your big government and taxation but the truth is the average American sadly does not have a clue about politics. Bill Clinton is a representation of the American people, the poles indicated that. Money is the only important thing it appears, idol worship. Oh and thank you liberals, for redefining the laws of sexual affairs in politics, its now ok for any politician to cheat on his wife and lie under oath about as long as the economy is good. Your all a bunch of hypocrites. Have you forgotten about the blood and tears that were shed for this great country that you liberal whiny babies are so quick to throw away? Do you remember your history about our forefathers, who died for this country to preserve our freedoms? As you can see I am a patriot and proud of it. I zealously love my country and am proud of all the people who have helped make it what it is. Now go on and smoke your grass and tell your lies, and be proud of yourself for taking away the freedoms my children, your children, our children.

Scott D.

I see your name aptly describes your intelligence.

Liberals do suck, as does every human being. We suck at our mother's breasts, on cigarettes, cigars, straws -- all kinds of things.

Let me remind you that the right-wing-dominated Supreme Court has recently taken away your Constitutional right not to be strip-searched -- just because some policeman thinks you look fishy. And with a name like Bad Mo Fo, I bet you do look suspicious.

I assume you are a gun owner. Well so am I, and I am so Liberal that I would make your head spin. So, tell me, just what do you think you are talking about?

I also assume you are a white male. Well, I hate to tell you, but in 15 years YOU will be the minority in this country, so you'd better get ready. Iron your sheet, put that shotgun in you pickup and gas down those crosses you'll burn on every African American lawn in your neighborhood.

Most liberals I know, including myself, do believe in God. I, for instance, am a Catholic. However, I know right from wrong simply because I know how to THINK -- something you evidently have no mastered. I don't need my Church to teach me the obvious.

The Bible says nothing about homosexuality, bisexuality or abortion. I know, because I have studied it at length -- not only the King James version, but the Jewish Torah, the Koran and other religious teachings that you, I'm certain, have never heard of. You don't study your Bible. You merely find passages that you THINK fit whatever bigotry you wish to rationalize.

I also happen to share YOUR opinion on abortion. However, I don't think that OUR opinion should be forced on others. That is THEIR choice to make. By the way -- how do you know that a fetus does not feel pain? I think it does.

Demonizing homosexuality is only for idiots. Why not criticize men who like to have adventurous sex with their wives? What about fellatio -- is that aberrant? You could eliminate 80% of everyone on earth that does not meet your standards. No, it doesn't take a genius to figure that out -- but you're not a genius, then, are you?

Actually ,it is you and your ilk that have confused this country, spewing your hatred worldwide and preaching to people who have far more moral character in their little fingers than you obviously have in your entire soul.

As for Bill Clinton, he is certainly not representative of the average American. He is a lawyer, a Rhodes Scholar, a former Governor, and, by the way, the duly elected President of the United States -- TWICE.

His personal life is no concern of yours. It is the Republican Party that worships money, business and "whiteness." It is totally out of touch with the supermajority of Americans and will suffer for that in 2000 and for decades more. We will not forget what you and your kind did to Bill, Hillary and especially Chelsea Clinton. You have nothing to offer -- nothing but greed, avarice and hate-mongering.

And your role in this, Mr. Bad Mo Fo, was to be stupid enough to actually believe the garbage spewed at you by master baiter Keneth W. Starr, adulterer Henry John Hyde, adulterer Charles Terrance Canady, adulterer-demagogue Robert Laurence Barr, Jr., and the television networks and cable channels. And let's not forget that Neo-Nazi swine Rush Limbaugh, who is now preparing to hunt for his fourth wife by losing 200 pounds.

Your problem, in addition to your lack of education, basic intelligence and logic, is the very fact that you "worship" your country. I love my country as well -- but not blindly and stupidly as you so obviously do. I weep for all the men and boys that died for this nation -- particularly in Vietnam where they were offered up as chop meat to make corporations like Lockheed Martin and General Electric, Dow Corning and other wealthier -- and to protect the sovreignty of criminals and opium dealers.

But I particularly weep for Jeff Miller, who was my neighbor and childhood friend.

He was killed at Kent State University for demonstrating against the Vietnam war. He died trying to save the lives of 58,000 young American boys who were murdered for nothing -- nothing but their inability to get a deferment because of their poor grades in high school.

You, my friend, would have pulled that trigger on Jeff Miller. And as far as I am concerned, you will arrive in hell along with everyone like you when your miserable small unimportant life finally ends -- to all of our relief.

Best Regards to you and yours,

Mac MacArthur
