But some commenter over at the big blog doesn't like the photoshops I post for Open Thread. Last night I posted D-Cap's Seven Brides for Seven Birthers, to celebrate Tom Delay's Dancing with the Stars gig.
The commenter ended his tirade with this nugget:
And the best part, a self professed CHRISTIAN continues to post this crap night after night.
I usually don't respond to personal attacks, but I saw this one as a direct swipe at the readership of C&L, so I felt I had to respond:
I wonder with which TV Dancing Celebrity show Jesus would sign a contract. After being indicted for campaign finance fraud.
Anyone who goes after my religion at this site clearly thinks it will help their argument because they perceive C&L commenters to be intolerant towards anyone with Christian leanings. That is not the case.
I'm a dirty hippie mean-photoshopping Quaker, and I've always found lots of support and tolerance at this site and the rest of Left Blogsylvania. I don't ever try to convert anyone because the God I worship loves atheists as much as everyone else. Not to mention those incredibly clever Flying Spaghetti Monster folks. I think God puts them at the front tables of the divine cocktail party because they're so funny and smart.
RIGHT ON! you tell 'em.
ReplyDeleteI'll tell you what the world needs.
ReplyDeleteThe world needs more self-serious twats policing teh Internets.
How about a photoshopic hodgepodge made up of liberals, wingnuts, cuddly characters from Saturday morning cartoons, a former Wimbeldon Champ??
We love ya, Bluegal. Offensive is sexy. Unless it involves odor. Not big on that.
Fantastic reply! Well-worded and -warranted. The more I see the trolls of the right raise their nail-studded clubs in this temporary, ignorant uprising only reinforces that what we're hearing is just louder grunting.
ReplyDeleteThey'll learn not to go after that Christian!
ReplyDeleteheh heh
Keep up the great works, BG.

"...And the bestest best part, a self professed CRITIC continues to stew over this crap night after night."
ReplyDeleteSuch notions are like music to a photoshop meanie's ears.

love the fsm (flying spaghetti monster) pic. im living in paraguay (a very catholic country) and jokingly told a paraguayan about the fsm. he thought it was hilarious, unlike some humorless christians back in the states.
ReplyDeleteWhat a humorless putz! And foaming at the mouth! Oy!
ReplyDeleteDid you remind the commenter Bush considers himself to be a Christian?
ReplyDeleteExplain THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Or would that have been.... Torture???
Rock on with your badass, Jesus-hugging, FSM-lovin' self.
