Funny, I was going through my stats and noticed I got a ton of traffic last month from Cracked.com. Seems Gallagher’s friends came to his defense. He even called me out…for calling him out. Outstanding! He even resorted to name calling. He’s so cool.

“The schmuck in question “supposedly” called my bosses at AOL and Weblogs or write them letters, I assume with some very strongly worded letters in all caps, left some comments on the site that irked my boss because he’s easily irkable and also started a petition at PoliticalLipskip.com, a site that (wait for it) he owns!”

No Danny, I didn’t put it in all caps. And I actually did contact the sites you work for. They probably didn’t much care anyway so what do you care? And what exactly is your beef with me asking people to write your boss(es) complaining about an offensive comment you made. On (here it comes) my site no less?

Pretty cool it got Gallagher all bent.

Stay classy libs.

I can continue this inane dialogue all you want. I love the traffic and comments this brings. So thanks. I’m fairly certain that, assuming you hold down a job, you could not walk up to your boss and insult him or her with a racial, sexual or any other kind of slur and expect to keep your job. Maybe *you* could. Most people in the real world could not, particularly if they work in a right to hire state. The Constitution guarantees that the government cannot infringe on your right to say whatever you want. It does not, in fact, guarantee that your company has to allow moronic and bigoted speech. I’m pretty sure, again, assuming you hold down a job, you wouldn’t last long calling your boss, or customer, “stunningly retarded”. But you go ahead and work that free speech on the job and see how far it takes you genius.

“The fact that he used the ever so leftist popular slur against those that protest against the government is my beef. ”

You’re right. The horror in Darfur and the fact that a city paid $17K to throw a Beck party is completely relevant. Let’s see, one is an outrage that the people of the world should be concerned about. And the other is a hack whining about a thing in a city he doesn’t live in or give two shits about other than it helps advance his silly little agenda. His views are left. If he doesn’t have an agenda then why the snide Beck and Palin comments and the insult against the Tea party goers? Any idiot can see his bias in his postings when it has anything to do with politics. I suggest it has no place on a TV gossip and review site. You are free to disagree and apparently do. I appreciate the debate.

Again, the problem IS NOT that he railed on Beck. Don’t care. The fact that he used the ever so leftist popular slur against those that protest against the government is my beef.

Yep if he said some un-politically correct thing against oh, say the people of Darfur, maybe that might get you to give a shit. Maybe if he used a slur against homesexuals. Women. But we’re not. We’re talking about a disgraceful insult against a group that doesn’t bow before the Liberal alter of tax and spend. Civility, man. That is all I’m concerned with here. Really.

“1)People are free to comment about whatever they want. The point that clearly zipped right on past you was that it it really shouldn’t matter one bit to Gallagher what the city spent to host Beck. He doesn’t live there so his criticism is pretty limp.”

Right, because our opinions are moot if we don’t live in the area where the situation is occuring. Sorry, people in Darfur. I’d like to protest your living conditions, but since I don’t live there, my views have no value.

“The only reason Gallagher brought it up was to advance his agenda on his well read platform.”

Danny is a comedian. He has written for stand-ups, newspapers, magazines, and has nearly 30 articles alone on Cracked.com. He doesn’t have an “agenda” other than being funny. He wrote ONE article consisting of THREE SENTENCES, and suddenly he needs to be fired.

There is no agenda.

“If my post and comment were so inconsequential I’m guessing you would have found something better to do but you took the time to let it get under your skin and do your best to insult me.”

I spent less than four minutes reading your article and posting my thoughts. In comparison, Danny’s article, by your own account, drove you to the point of calling up AOL to try and get him in some sort of hot water, then to start a petition over a joke you read on the internet. Now, I’m not sure how you define someone getting under your skin but it would appear that you and I are on two different wavelengths, Mr. Chris.

But at least you care enough to come by, read the post and submit your little comment. If my post and comment were so inconsequential I’m guessing you would have found something better to do but you took the time to let it get under your skin and do your best to insult me. That’s cool. That’s why I wrote the piece. And let me try to explain again for the challenged: The point of the post was not that Gallagher had anything to say about Beck, though in context of what he was referring to had zero to do with TV. I could care less what he thinks or says about Beck. The point was an observation concerning the insult liberal hacks use to dismiss and ridicule those that protest against the government. It actually doesn’t have a place for decent and civil people much less on a TV blog. His political views are best served on political commentary sites. Hope that helps. Thanks for reading Mann-o.

I’m still not sure which is sadder: your incredibly weak attempts to defend why you think Danny Gallagher was wrong in writing a piece about Glenn Beck or the fact that a comedy article on the internet has managed to get your britches in a twist so fierce that you feel the need to rally people against it as though this will somehow change the world at large or will correct a great injustice.

Furlinator. Wow man. You really got me there. Laughably amusing that all the libs have to offer is childish insults and name calling. It’ll be OK. The grownups are coming back soon.
Thanks for reading.
