Is it acceptable, in the pursuit of a political goal, to attack a child and stalk his family?
If you’re a rightwing blogger, the answer is an emphatic “yes”.
But remember, kids… the folks on the right will tell you that they hold the moral high ground on everything.
‘Scuse me while I go vomit…
UPDATE 10/09/07 10:49 AM EDT: Oh, lookie. Self-styled “Emperor” Misha, who has called for the murder of police, as well as a judge and a district attorney, has jumped on the cockroach bandwagon, adding his tinpot approval to the wingnut attacks on Graeme Frost and his family. No surprise there… it’s not like Misha has any intent of growing a set of scruples. Attacking a child and his family even after the facts show that the attacks are scurrilous and false simply serves as further proof the Misha lacks any moral code whatsoever.
UPDATE 10/09/07 06:34 PM EDT: Dave Neiwert has an excellent idea:
So for those wingnuts who have ascended beyond mere kookery and have begun using their media powers to attack and harass private citizens in their private lives for the mere affrontery of taking a non-conservative political position, we should have a new designation.
Can we just call them the assholosphere and be done with them?
UPDATE 10/10/07 06:46 AM EDT: Hunter at Daily Kos weighs in with some cogent words:
Right now, the Frost’s home address is posted on Free Republic. And it’s been there for gawd knows how long—nobody’s taking it down. Why would they? The kid is the latest enemy of the entire conservative movement: they want to make him pay.
No, we’ve been through all this before, and we’ll no doubt go through it again; if someone at any point so much as sends Malkin a nasty email, she writes an entire outraged self-ego-humping book about it. Someone calls out O’Reilly for a statement of appalling and unapologetic bigotry, he goes into seizures of anti-entire-planet rage. And God forbid someone dares make a schoolyard play off of an Army general’s name—the entire conservative movement freaks out and wet their goddamn pants in unison about the fucking horror of it all. But going after a kid and his family, because he read a statement on the radio? Fair. Fucking. Game. Hey, the twelve year old is an enemy. Get him.
…
These people think the premise of not doing the worst possible thing to even the smallest political enemy at every possible opportunity would be nothing but an act of weakness. God help them and me both, but I sincerely hope they someday find themselves on the receiving end of the same treatment. They lack all semblances of human empathy: like exceptionally vicious and stupid dogs, punishment in-kind would be the only way they would ever learn. No, that is not true — dogs do learn from kindness. In the entire animal kingdom, only conservatives do not.
It’s long past time for people to stop treating Fox-style, Malkin-style, Limbaugh-style conservatism as merely a “political” phenomenon. It may once have been, but it isn’t now. As of this millennium, it’s nothing but a hate movement with neckties. Protofascism with bright, patriotic logos. Stop treating it with anything but revulsion and disdain. Stop pretending for even a bare moment that they are anything more than thugs.
Let’s not forget that the bloviating abscess that calls itself ‘Kender’ is exactly the same kind of thug. Thanks for the confirmation of your essential worthlessness, shitmonkey.

regarding this family, the frosts, apparently government education is not good enough for them but government healthcare is?What’s up with that? Why should we have to pay for their healthcare when they made th choice to put their kids in private school as opposed to doing the right thing and paying for their own healthcare?
To hell with that shit, meaty…..they spend tons in tuition and dont want to pay for healthcare so we should pay for their healthcare?
Why?
Why should we pay for their choices?
-
50 thousand a year is more than enough to live on….why do they drive an suv? Why not a cheaper minivan or smaller car?They already get tuition to a school paid for by the state for their one kid amounting to a small fortune…..why should we subsidize their lifestyle? They may not pay all of their tuition, but why can’t they buy their own health insurance (with no deductible it runs less than 700 a month for their zip code).
Why should we subsiduze this or any other family?
WTF? WHy do you soft headed socialists wanna steal from me to give to people that can fend for thjemselves?
You are a fucking lying cowardly thief meaty…you and every other socialist bastard that wants to take care of every body with socialist programs.
W#hy do you have to push theiving programs?
-
I would gladly call them thieves to their face….along with any other person that can afford healthcare and takes it from the government (taxpayers) INSTEAD.You are a lair for your past posts, a coward for refusing to answer legitimate questions posed of you (from posts you put up and caused to invite those questions) and a thief because you support thieving policies such as healthcare for those that choose to not buy it for themselves.
The frosts may only pay 500 a year in tuition for one child, but the state picks up the tab on the other child, and if that child is so brain damaged that public school wont help, why should we be forced to subsidize her education?
Why should we be forced to subsidize their healthcare? They make enough to afford it, and given that it could be had for less than 10% of their stated salary they should choose to buy it or go without.
How much of your life is subsidized by others meaty? Don’t you feel like less of a man when you take charity?
-
I never said I could diagnose people online. I was using information froma link you provided, but you are unable to connect salient facts from different sources, but we already know you are stupid that way, meaty.What was written about the frosts was this:
2) His sister Gemma attends another private school to help her with the brain injuries that occurred due to her accident. The school costs $23,000 a year, but the state pays the entire cost.Now do you get that? She is going to a private school to help her with brain injuries suffered after the accident, and the state pays the 23,000 dollar a year cost.
You see? This is why people call you names and think you are sofa king re todd ed…...because we leave comments that allude to the articles we are writing about, and any sane, thinking person would have read the articles, remembered what was written in them and be able to piece together what the writer of the comment must mean in context to what was been read and written about.
Just because you have the attention span of an epileptic squirrel on speed does not mean that the rest of us must bow to your disability and write a damned dissertation every time we leave a comment.
The rest of the world, meaty, is smarter than that, and since you obviously are not, may I suggest you wring out your drool bib and get out your legos?
Life will be much more peaceful for you if you do.

So I was mistaken on the frosts tuition. I still dont think we should be subsidizing their healthcare. What is healthcare worth? 20% of ones salary?Let’s say that’s a good number. That works out to (giving a salary of 50 grand a year) ten thousand dollars. That’s 833 bucks a month. Well under the family of four rates of about 650 for their zipcode for a family of four with no deductible.
Now, onto the quote from teh article you linked:
2) His sister Gemma attends another private school to help her with the brain injuries that occurred due to her accident.The child has brain injuries and goes to this private school that helps her with that problem. What part of this are you not comprehending? Or are you being purposefully obtuse?
Personally I think you are just that stupid.
-
wow…..what absolutely astounding anger you have. The numbers I quoted are reasonable given the circumstances of information available.The numbers I quoted were EXAMPLES, but I don’t expect you to understand what an EXAMPLE is meaty. You truly are too stupid and ignorant to understand such concepts.
And I read about the tuition in another article when this story broke. Excuse me for not using meaty’s patented only truth online linkage.
Now why wont you answer the question?
-
so meaty, do you think we should subsidize their income and give them healthcare? -
wow dude you cant even answer one simple question?I would say you are an asshole, but I am a proud asshole, and wouldn’t want to denigrate a noble family tradition.
As to the frosts getting “attacked” why are you so mad that someone looked into the story in a deeper way?
Now I want to know why you are afraid to even answer a question. If you are the almighty meatbrain, master debater and cunning linguist you should be able to answer my question and still smack me down, but instead of answering a question you make excuses about how bad I am at debating, then refuse to debate me.
Kinda sounds like a punk ass kid on the playground stating from behind the teachers skirt what a grand pugilist he is, and he’d prove it too, but it isn’t worth his time to come out from behind the teachers skirt.
Wow, you have again proven yourself a coward….just how big is that yellow stripe down your back?
-
Oh dude…I just saw the comment about me in your post…..thank you so much for the kind words. -
no…one such as meaty cannot answer questions because he is a coward.I created no lies, and am not convinced that what has been written in rebuttal is all true. Why are you so fast to disbelieve those with whom you don’t agree? Not a very balanced way to write now is it?
But no matter, I have again shown you to be the phenomenal coward of the blogosphere.
Score;
Meaty – 0 (like his IQ)
Kender- 10 (is it now? -
so misinformation (corrected by me) is still a lie?I did not create one single lie. I was using information that was outdated. But you cannot understand differences such as that, and you still refuse to engage in any debate because you are a coward.
I have discussed the posts about the frosts as far as I am going to until you man the hell up and learn to debate by answering questions.
Do you think we should be subsidizing health care?
Have you ever seen anyone in this country go without healthcare?
I haven’t…not once…..it is against the law to refuse emergency health services, and that’s why ER’s are closing left and right, because everyone gets healthcare here, even the illegals.
There doesn’t seem to be a means test for schip in many states, which means every one already is eligible for it (children wise—just wanna clarify that as meaty can’t extrapolate)
So why wont you answer the question meaty?
-
and where the hell are my pictures moron?I want my monkey back, even tho I really don’t think that you fling poo meaty….
-
Health insurance is for healthcare.
If you need healthcare you go to the ER if you dont have insurance.
If you cannot afford insurance there is medicaid programs all across this country.
If you do not qualify for medicaid then go buy your own damned insurance.
If you cannot afford insurance and make too much to qualify for medicaid then you are making bad choices, living beyond your means or are in idiot.
I have to budget to afford my healthcare, and go without things I would like to have (such as a nice industrial building for my business or a big ass SUV) then again I am not stupid enough to have more kids than I can afford to take care of…....which leads me to the question of WHY are we being forced to pay for healthcare for people that have a mess of kids and can’t be responsible for their own offspring?
Why must the government steal from those of us that live wisely to provide fo those that don’t?
I wish stupidity were painful, maybe then these people wouldn’t be having more kids than they could afford.
-
one cannot debate a lying coward such as meaty either.And yes if someone has too many kids and cant afford health insurance that is their damned tough luck. Why should we be forced to pay for someone elses stupidity?
Why, meathead, should we that work hard and live smart be forced to pay for the idiotic and shortsighted mistakes of the stupid people of this country?
We should not be forced to pay for other peoples stupidity. The frosts child went on the air to take bush to task for not stealing even more money from the american citizenry. They are not a protected class.
If they had kept out of it “attacks” (as you call them) would have been unwarranted. However when one steps into the limelight on must expect scrutiny. Just because one of their kids is brain damaged (which automatically makes it a democrat voter) does not give them a pass to say whatever they want unanswered or unchallenged.
Maybe they should have kept their mouths shut about their healthcare stealing ways. I don’t get free healthcare, and I make less than they do, so why should they?
-
Taking something from someone against their will (taxes) to give something to someone else (free healthcare) is theft.What part of that can’t you grasp, dumbass?
It boils down to this:
The frosts own property, which means they can sell that property or mortgage it to gather up the resources to get the long term healthcare they need.’
’
Until they have no resources to draw on they should be ineligible for public assistance.What part of this don’t you understand?
I cannot receive public aid of any sort as long as I have any resources or property. Why should people with children be any different?
-
As expected, shitmonkey fled from the challenge I set it. It can’t back up its claims with facts.
The frosts own property, which means they can sell that property or mortgage it to gather up the resources to get the long term healthcare they need.
Rightwing imbeciles like shitmonkey are all in favor of the “ownership society” — until someone needs help. Then they should sell everything and live under a bridge. Fortunately, the vast majority of people do not ascribe to shitmonkey’s intensely selfish and immoral worldview.
I cannot receive public aid of any sort as long as I have any resources or property.
shitmonkey again chooses to lie outright. There is no state that requires its citizens to sell all property before receiving unemployment or WIC assistance, for instance.
When it can’t argue on the facts (which is all the time), shitmonkey lies. That is its one and only tactic.
shitmonkey is still afraid to discuss the attacks made against the Frosts. Cowardice has always been its hallmark.
-
wrong asshat. If you want help, such as SSI or SDI you must meet an eligibility standard.WIC is for women with infants and children, and I had a friend that made 20 dollars too much to qualify for it while illegal aliens with thier newborn children were getting all kinds of free stuff. My friend worked hard, paid her taxes and is a citizen, and couldn’t get the help that people who snuck over the border were getting. But that’s another side of the story.
I, being technically disabled, could qualify for a lot more public subsidies, IF I were to sell my property AND show where and how I used the money. Until I do that I would not be able to get SSI to help me out, AND I am limited as to the amount of income I can bring in, one dollar too much and I will be liable for a bigger chunk of my healthcare (which is substantial), so don’t go telling me about the system here asshole.
I deal with it constantly, and by law MUST use medicare, AND I have to balance how much I work to stay eligible in my healthplan as opposed to how much I bring in to not lose other benefits that I worked hard to get. If I had a prosperous business I would mortgage it to the hilt to get my kid the best healthcare without stealing it from others, like yourself.
That is the difference between you and I meaty. I don’t believe in stealing from my fellow countrymen to assuage some false sense of guilt due to someone else’s bad luck or bad choices.
You are the morally bankrupt, thieving coward here, not us on the right side of the aisle. We believe in personal responsibility, taking the consequences for our own actions and not taking handouts or stealing from our fellow citizens to get by. We make a better life for ourselves, BY OURSELVES, NOT on the backs of everyone else.
What a shallow, hollow life you must lead to advocate theft and live a life of moral turpitude.
-
taxes are theft. The fact that you cannot grasp that is telling.The fact that one must not have resources before using some government programs is well documented, and it should be that way across the board.
The frosts have resources (property) that they can sell or mortgage. Why should they be able to keep their resources and use government money (i.e. tax money STOLEN from others) for ANYTHING when they have resources they can draw on?The FACT that you don’t think taxes are theft is simply more proof that you advocate thievery and are morally bankrupt.
-
I have to, by law, be enrolled in medicare for my condition. No doctor will take patients such as myself without medicare. I cannot get any other type of aid from the government as long as I have resources such as property to draw on for income.What part of this don’t you get?
I am forced by law to use medicare, and the only way out of that is to have 20 grand I could toss at medical bills each month. I do not yet have that income, but am working towards it.
So, if I cannot have government assistance that I would be eligible for as long as I have resources, why should they keep resources and get aid?
And why don’t you answer the question about taxes being theft?
-
our taxes (money stolen from us by force of law) pays for medicare asshat.And we see that meaty cant answer one simple question.
Here’s one for you dumbass….try to get dialysis without medicare….nobody will treat you without it, period.
Now try to get SSI while owning property or more than one shithole car or money in the bank. It aint happening either.
Fat lot you know about things dumbass.
